Stracke Is Still 'In Shock' About Garcelle Beauvais' Decision To Leave 'RHOBH'

During an interview with Us Weekly, Stracke opened up about what appears to be the end of her relationship with Beauvais, whom she met on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" during season 10 in 2020.

She also touched on Beauvais' shocking decision to leave the series after filming the season 14 reunion, in which the latter felt she was given no grace for her mistakes during the season despite apologizing.

According to Stracke, she was "in shock" about the news. However, she's OK with the actress' decision as long as it makes her happy.

"I think we were all sort of in shock, but Garcelle is a very strong woman," the mom of three said about Beauvais. "And so she's going to make her decision and do what she's going to do. I just want her to live her best life and be happy."

Later, Stracke opened up about Beauvais' decision to unfollow her on social media and shared what that could mean for them as friends.

"I am hopeful, but," Stracke told Us Weekly. "I'm just hoping that Garcelle is good and happy and on the path that she wants to be on, which I know she is."

Stracke, who spent most of season 14 in the hot seat with her co-stars, echoed a similar thought during a previous interview, in which she said she was allowing Beauvais to have time to herself.

“Garcelle has chosen to unfollow all of the ‘Housewives,'” she said. “I can only imagine that she needs a clean break right now. I love her and am giving her the space she needs.”

She continued, “I know that she is going to move through this next chapter with grace and success."

During a podcast episode, Erika Jayne, who previously blasted Beauvais as uninteresting during an earlier part of the season, seemed unfazed by the latter's actions. In fact, when asked about Beauvais' social media moves, she threw even more shade her way.

"Were you heartbroken when Garcelle unfollowed you?" former "RHOBH" star Teddi Mellencamp asked.

"Devastated," Jayne replied sarcastically.

“I’m about as heartbroken as she was when I unfollowed her back,” she added, to which Mellencamp replied, “Oh, d-mn. Now I need to do my first unfollow.”

'I Can't Trust Them ... And They Don't Like Me'

But that wasn't all Beauvais had to say.

While in her dressing room, the mother of three branded her castmates as "a-sholes."

"They're all f-cking a-sholes. No one said, 'Oh, I understand what you're saying.' No one said anything, and the fact that I owned how I felt about [Dorit Kemsley's] situation with [her home invasion]," she said, referring to the criticism she faced from others for seemingly implying Kemsley's 2021 home robbery was staged. "I'm always honest."

Beauvais continued, "Everybody jumped at me, and I felt like I was on an island by myself. I can't be friends with people like that; I can't trust them. I don't trust them, and they obviously don't like me."

In the Instagram video Beauvais posted announcing her exit, the "Survival of the Thickest" actress called the experience a "wild ride" before saying she could make a return sometime in the future.

"So, you never know," she continued. "I might pop back in sometime."
