Garcelle Beauvais is saying goodbye to ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ ahead of the upcoming reunion.
The actress made the shocking announcement on Tuesday morning (March 25), revealing that she is exiting Bravo’s long-running series after serving as a full-time Housewife for five seasons.
“I have some news: I have decided to leave Beverly Hills,” Beauvais said in a video shared to on her Instagram account.” 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.”
“One of the reasons why I’m leaving is my family, my boys. Their last year of high school is next year and I want to be a part of that. And Jade is starting a new career and I want to be a part of that, too. And secondly, I have the most exciting projects that I am developing, producing and acting in — I can’t tell you anything now but you’ll know soon.”
Before ending her speech, she thanked everyone behind Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, including executive producer Andy Cohen, Bravo, NBC Universal, and the show’s production companys, Evolution and 32 Flavors. She thanked, too, “the producers, the crew, and of course, the ladies.”
“Andy Cohen says I can come back anytime, the door will always be open, so you never known, I might pop back in sometime,” she teased.
