Garcelle Beauvais Talks Controversial Kyle Richards ‘Lesbian’ Comment

This comes after Richards was seen spending time with a country singer Morgan Wadeadding fuel to speculation about their relationship.

Garcelle Beauvais’ comment, made during a recent explosive episode of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

The moment may have sparked heated conversations, but Beauvais insists his words were meant to inspire rather than offend.

Beauvais made her position clear when asked if she regretted encouraging Richards to embrace her true self. Speaking candidly, Beauvais explained:

“No, I didn’t say that out of malice. It was more about, “We are powerful women, we can be whatever we want to be.”

TMZ reports that Beauvais also responded to Richards’ response, pointing out the inconsistency of his reaction. She called it “sleazy” that Richards initially laughed but then became critical, retaliating with an insult.

ICYMI, the comments were made during a candid lunch at Chuck E. Cheese with “RHOBH” cast members Kyle Richards, Sutton Stracke and Erika Jayne.

The episode, titled “What the Chuck?” saw Beauvais drop a bold suggestion that stunned his co-stars. The explosion highlighted the moment Beauvais encouraged Richards to fully embrace his truth, bluntly stating:

“Do what you want. Be who you want to be. If you want to be a lesbian, be a lesbian.”

This unexpected remark elicited audible gasps and wide-eyed reactions from the table, but the ladies quickly laughed off the moment.

Although they laughed about the remark at the table, Richards later didn’t hold back on Bravo’s “”.After the show” The 56-year-old boldly declared: “You’re being an asshole right now. And don’t try to act like ‘Oopsie Daisy,’ you know exactly what you’re doing.”

She added that while the comment did not offend her – given her experience with tabloid speculation – she questioned Beauvais’ motives, asking: “What’s your point of view?” Beauvais also clarified her intentions, explaining, “I wasn’t pushing her to come out. Own it. Be authentic.”

She noted that Richards often seems concerned about public perception and emphasized the importance of self-discovery. “We have the right to be who we are at this age,” Beauvais concluded.

Richards didn’t let last episode’s drama slow her down. Just days after Beauvais’ “lesbian” remark stirred things up, Richards was spotted spending time with his girlfriend, Morgan Wade.

Page Six reported that the duo was seen grabbing coffee in La Quinta, California on January 16. The coffee outing wasn’t entirely private, as former co-star Teddi Mellencamp was also in attendance, walking in front of the actress and Wade during the outing.

The reality star and country singer were photographed chatting as they carried their coffees out of the store. Although their close friendship has sparked speculation, Richards has always denied the rumors, saying that she and Wade are just friends.

Although Richards says her relationship with Wade is purely platonic, she has admitted to questioning her sexuality, particularly following her split from ex-husband Mauricio Umansky.

The TV personality revealed that this period of introspection was a confusing time for her. “It actually felt good to be honest about it,” she confessed, admitting that it was something she never really considered until the last couple of years.

“I’m learning things about myself,” she added, emphasizing the need for time to figure things out. Richards’ separation from Umansky in 2023, fueled by rumors of his infidelity, apparently led to significant changes in his personal life.

Garcelle Beauvais’ comment may have sparked some drama, but it’s clear that Kyle Richards is working to come to terms with her truth in her own time.
