Garcelle Beauvais was on the fence about returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But once Sutton Stracke gave her an apparent “talking to,” she signed on for season 12 and quickly reunited with her castmates for filming.
While enjoying a night out with her co-stars at Sutton’s namesake boutique in West Hollywood on Wednesday night, Garcelle admitted Sutton “twisted [her] arm” before sharing where she stands with Lisa Rinna after their messy encounter at the season 11 reunion and sharing where Erika Jayne‘s storyline will pick up.
“I really thought about it. Sutton really twisted my arm,” Garcelle told Entertainment Tonight on November 10. “Um… I like doing it. It’s just sometimes it’s really tough. And so, I wanted to sort of weigh in with my family. I wanted to see where I was and so we’ll keep going.”
Although Garcelle said that she and her castmates are in a decent place with one another today, she noted that “it’s early” in filming before teasing potential drama at their recent group event.
“All the ladies are coming. Anything is possible. We’re going to be happy to see each other at first, and then that’ll change,” she laughed. “But we’re here to support Sutton.”
As RHOBH fans may have heard, Lisa missed Wednesday’s event after traveling to be with her mother, Lois Rinna, who is transitioning after suffering a stroke.
“She’s going through some stuff, and so we’re supporting her,” Garcelle shared.
As for where the two of them stand, Garcelle went on to say that they are “seeming okay.”
“But you know, we’ll see,” she continued. “It’s a dance for me. I am not going to come at you unless you come at me. So, if you do, get ready because I am not playing anymore. No more miss nice guy.”
When Garcelle was then asked about her past claim of wishing she held Erika more accountable over her legal drama amid season 11 and questioned about whether she was putting that into play amid season 12, she confirmed, “I am.”
“I recently just asked her a tough question, and she answered it, which I was surprised. But I don’t want to focus on that,” Garcelle admitted. “I feel like we did that last season. Let’s see where we land.”
Garcelle also added that when it comes to the new episodes, “nothing has really changed” with Erika’s story.
“[But] I’m getting off that train,” she stated.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 will air sometime in 2022.
