Garcelle Beauvais opened up about the 11th season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" during an interview with Entertainment Tonight on March 4.

After reportedly wrapping filming on the new episodes earlier this year, Beauvais shared her thoughts on the new cast members of the show, including Crystal Kung Minkoff, who joined the series in a full-time role in 2020, and Kathy Hilton, who signed on as a "friend."

"I'm going to therapy," Beauvais laughed when asked about season 11. "Let me tell you now."

"This season was really interesting. We have two new friends. We have a new housewife [Crystal Kung Minkoff] and we have a new friend, Kathy Hilton, and it was really interesting to have new dynamics and not be the new girl," Beauvais explained, noting her "new girl" status on season 10. 

While Beauvais had a great time getting acquainted with the new ladies, she was also faced with news of Erika Jayne's divorce from husband Thomas Girardi last November, amid production on the upcoming season. 

"There's a lot going on obviously with Erika [Jayne] and just a lot of things going on," Beauvais shared, noting that Jayne didn't hold back in terms of speaking of her split on the show. 

"She goes there," Beauvais confirmed. "I'm proud of her. She goes there." 

As for her own issues amid season 11, Beauvais said that her "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" castmates came for her "at times" during filming.

"But that's what the show's about," she stated of the Bravo series. 

"If it's a kumbaya moment, nobody wants to watch that, so you kind of want to see a little bit of drama and there definitely is some," Beauvais continued.

As fans of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" will recall, Beauvais went head-to-head with both Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna during season 10 and didn't end the season in a great place with either of them.

Luckily, one year later, Beauvais was able to make some progress with her co-stars and improve upon her relationships.

"That was really important for me that at the beginning of the season that we get to talk. I wanted to talk to Kyle and I also wanted to talk to Rinna, which we did," Garcelle said. 

"So it will make for a good TV," she teased. 

Beauvais and her cast mates are expected to return to Bravo sometime this spring for the 11th season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" but a premiere date has not yet been set by the network.
