Garcelle Beauvais returns to Bravo alongside Lisa Vanderpump. The comeback sheds light on the close relationship the two share, beyond the purview of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (ROBH)”. The reunion also features a heartfelt exchange between the co-stars, as Vanderpump reached a milestone in her hospitality career.
Lisa Vanderpump welcomes Garcelle Beauvais to her Las Vegas venture
According to E! News, the October 21 finale of “Vanderpump Rules: Lisa Las Vegas” reveals some telling details about the pair’s relationship. The episode showcases how Vanderpump and Beauvais’s friendship extends beyond the show to their families.
“Garcelle is just my kind of woman, my kind of girl,” Vanderpump says in the clip. She recalls how Beauvais asked her to give son Oliver Saunders a job at Vanderpump à Paris. “He said, ‘I want to go to Vanderpump á Paris.’ Two months later, he was our best waiter.”
Vanderpump adds, “And he’s still there, and he takes it very seriously. I love that family.” Beauvais returns the affection, telling her former co-star, “I’m so excited for you. I’m so proud of you.”
Vanderpump then praises the actress for maintaining a supportive attitude in an industry often associated with rivalry. “You are the rare breed in this business of being a supportive woman,” she says, “and that’s what I love.”
Garcelle enthusiastically agrees, “We should be!”
The conversation turns playful after Vanderpump suggests that Saunders and his girlfriend Shantei Paranada should have another child. Saunders, however, declined the idea, saying, “No, we’re done. We’re very happy. We’re good.”
The lighthearted reunion comes a year after Beauvais announced her exit from RHOBH after five seasons. She had previously cited reasons such as wanting to spend more time with her boys and pursue other creative projects. Beauvais had also declared that being on the show had been emotionally taxing, and she felt freer after walking away from it.
