Over the last several years, the Real Housewives has become Bravo’s trademark reality show franchise. Since they tend to be so passionate, there are a lot of fans who care about how much the Real Housewives cast gets paid, which show is the worst, and even where the spin-offs are filmed. Fans also care when the Real Housewives cast members help people, compete on other real shows, get publicly called out, and when one of them has a meltdown.

Of course, every Real Housewives fan knows that the show’s infamous reunions can be powder kegs that lead to stunning emotional explosions. Even with that in mind, it was remarkable when Garcelle Beauvais stormed out of RHOBH’s Season 14 reunion.

Garcelle Beauvais Stormed Out Of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills’ Reunion After Being Asked To Take A Photo

Throughout the history of the Real Housewives franchise, the reunion specials have always been destination viewing. There is a really simple reason why many Real Housewives fans look forward to the reunion specials all season long.

Of course, regular Real Housewives episodes are beloved by fans. On top of that, there is no way that the reunions would be special if they weren’t set up by the events of the rest of the season. However, there is something about the reunions that is special.

At face value, the reunion specials are incredible because they often feature unbelievable drama. However, the real key to the reunion specials’ success is that they are when everything related to Real Housewives comes to a head. For example, the reunion for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ 14th season had things come to a head with Garcelle Beauvais storming out.

During the reunion for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ 14th season, the cast could be seen talking about the conversation that people had been having about Sutton Stracke’s drinking. As that conversation came to an end, Garcelle spoke up.

After Garcelle and Andy Cohen very briefly spoke, he stated that it was time to get a cast photo. At that moment, as can be seen in an Instagram post, Garcelle suddenly stated that she wasn’t taking part before she stood up and walked out.

As Garcelle made her exit, Andy stood and watched her leave with a look of astonishment and shock on his face.

Before Garcelle stormed out of the reunion, her comments to Andy gave fans an idea of the motivation for her exit.

As the discussion of Sutton’s drinking came to an end, Garcelle spoke and stated that she was feeling angry. “I’m really pissed right now.” In response, Andy asked Garcelle the obvious question, “What are you pissed about?” At that moment, Garcelle told Andy that she was upset about her experience during the reunion.

“I’m really pissed right now. What are you pissed about? I’m pissed about all of it, honestly. All of it since I’ve sat here on this couch. Mhmm. So I don’t wanna answer any more questions, honestly.”

Since they had been talking about Sutton’s drinking when Garcelle spoke up, Andy asked if her anger was related to that. “Do you feel like people are piling on Sutton?” At that moment, Garcelle clarified that her anger had nothing to do with how Sutton had been treated.

After that comment is when Andy brought up the cast photo and Garcelle made her exit.

The Aftermath Of Garcelle Beauvais Storming Out Of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Reunion

After Garcelle Beauvais walked out of the reunion for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the aftermath was fascinating. Some of the events that took place happened in the moments immediately after Garcelle walked out, and others took more time to take place.

During the reunion special, the first reaction to Garcelle walking out that fans saw was from Andy Cohen. Andy immediately commented that Garcelle was the one who’d previously spoken about hoping for a cast photo.

To Andy’s point, the reunion special cut to footage of Garcelle from nine hours earlier saying she hoped there would be a cast photo. “I hope we can talk things through, work them out, and at the end of the day, we actually get a cast photo of this reunion.”

Garcelle’s co-star Dorit Kemsley could also be heard calling her storming out “unprofessional” and “not cool.” Despite the comments, Garcelle continued to make her exit. The Instagram video then showed Garcelle telling the camera crew that she wanted to be left alone.

As the cameras made their exit, Garcelle could be heard remarking about how she ordinarily would never be someone who would demand to not be filmed. “And I never say I don’t want cameras. I’m always a team player. But this — there’s no team.”

An April 2025 People article about the reunion quoted Garcelle saying that she was “f****** sick” of the way her co-stars treated her.

People quoted Garcelle stating that she didn’t feel supported by her co-stars and that she didn’t think they even liked her.

“Nobody said, ‘Oh, okay. You have accountability.’ Everybody jumped on me. And I felt like I was on an island by myself. I can’t be friends with people like that. I don’t trust them. I don’t trust them. And they obviously don’t like me.”

People’s aforementioned article also quoted Garcelle speaking like she was done with Real Housewives before she left the set of the reunion. “I’m done. It’s been an amazing ride, I’m so grateful for the opportunity, but I’m done.”

On March 25th, 2025, Garcelle announced on Instagram that those remarks weren’t just hyperbole. In a video she uploaded, Garcelle announced that she was leaving The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “I have some news: I have decided to leave Beverly Hills. It’s been a wild ride, some amazing things have happened, and some hard things have also happened — but it’s been a ride nevertheless.”
