Garcelle Beauvais reveals how it was to film the upcoming eleventh season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills with new cast member Kathy Hilton.
"Oh my God, I am obsessed with Kathy Hilton. She is so much fun. Obviously, being in Beverly Hills, we would see each other at events and dinners, and I would see her and we’d be in the same room. We’d say hello, but keep it moving, so I never really got to know her like I have now that she’s a friend, and she’s awesome. She’s a prankster. She’s sort of like the mother to us all, especially when things are going haywire, she told Vulture. "She tries to bring us back, and she’s just really funny. One crazy story: She came to me in my room when we were in Tahoe. It was late at night, and she goes, “I just want to tell you, I have a feeling about you. I have a feeling like you’re going to do amazing things. Keep your head up and do your stuff, and you’re going to be great.” And I guess she went and reiterated the same thing she told me to Kyle [Richards], and Kyle goes, “You’re not a swami, Kathy. Garcelle is already doing amazing things.” But she’s just so sweet and so fun, and we’ve become friends off the show, which is really lovely."
The Coming 2 America actress reveals how it was to film her second season of the Bravo hit reality series. "Much better in the sense of I could be around more, because obviously with COVID, no one’s really traveling. So that was really good in terms of being able to make the trips and go to the dinners. We really pivoted as much as we could in terms of shooting during a pandemic. Obviously, we shut down twice — one because the numbers were too high, and then two, three people caught it. This is the time that we’re in. I spent Thanksgiving by myself because I had to quarantine, my birthday by myself because I had to quarantine. But it’s just the sign of everybody was doing the best they could."
As for how much her life has changed since joining RHOBH, she said, "No! You know what’s so funny? I say no, because I did Housewives and it came out, and then we were in quarantine where we’re wearing masks. So it’s really funny, every now and then if I go — like my son, I had to drop off my son to play basketball just to get him out of the house. We got him a coach, one-on-one coaching with him. So I dropped him off, and it was an hour and 15 minutes, and I was like, Where can I go? What time can I kill? And I knew there was a Marshalls/HomeGoods, and I go, Oh, I’m gonna go there. I have my mask on, so no one will know it’s me in there. So I go in there, and I think I say something to the salesperson like, “Oh, do you have any more of these candles?” And these two women whipped around. They’re like, “Oh my God, you’re our favorite.” I’m like, “I gotta get out of here. I cannot be at HomeGoods/Marshalls right now.”"
She added, "I said to friends, “Obviously, I’ve been in the industry a long time. I’ve done some incredible things here and there and worked with incredible people, and I’ve never gotten more attention than the announcement that I was joining Beverly Hills.” Like by far, nothing I’ve done has surpassed that. It’s amazing."
