It looks like we might actually get what we want for the next season of RHOBH. It seems LVP and Camille Grammer are both really off the show! Hurrah!
Yesterday, it was announced that Garcelle Beauvais will join RHOBH. YAY! It appears there are actually black women in Beverly Hills! Who knew? Maybe they will discover that black women also live in NYC! I mean, it could happen!
I reached out to sources yesterday for a bit more information. I presumed that one of the new ladies would be a friend. However, Tamara Tattles exclusive sources report that both women will be full time. That’s a lot of housewives. This opens the possibility for someone to be demoted to friend. But so far, there is no plan for that to happen.
Camille Grammer is also all over social media saying that Kyle got her fired. That is kind of true. While Kyle is technically a producer on RHOBH, she doesn’t have casting authority and cannot get people fired. However, Tamara Tattles exclusive sources report that Kyle to production that she refused to film with Camille. YAY! Thanks, Kyle!
Then, I spoke with a source who actually knows Sutton Stracke. Apparently, she and her husband are from Augusta, GA. He is in the finance industry and took a position in Newport Beach. He makes quite a bit of money. My source has lots of nice things to say about Christian. Sutton on the other hand… the source had nothing negative to say. However, she is apparently a bit on the crazy side. Christian was the one that filed for divorce. I guess we’ll have to tune in to see what flavor of crazy she is. I have no standing to judge anyone’s crazy. I can just barely keep the cheese from sliding off of my own crazy sandwich. 🙂
Garcelle Beauvais is an actress. She is perhaps best know for her role on NYPD Blue. Garcelle had a lot to say about joining the show on her social media.
“I am excited and proud to be joining the cast of such a wildly popular and beloved show like The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. As a working actor who has been in the industry for some time, it’s exhilarating to have the opportunity to delve into a new chapter in the entertainment spectrum.”
“As the first African American Housewife in the Beverly Hills franchise, I am honored and humbled by this awesome opportunity to exemplify the fact that Black Girl Magic lives and thrives in every zip code!”
“Already being intimately familiar with the spotlight of Hollywood, my journey of successes and trials has already been chronicled and shared with my many loyal supporters around the world. The continual encouragement, support and yes, even at times, criticism, have helped make me the dynamic woman I am today. I’m excited to share the many ongoing daily surprises, laughs and joys of being a working mother in today’s crazy world. The hustle is R-E-A-L! No games, all heart and a little dash of fashion-filled sass is what you’ll get when you step into my sphere…and I wouldn’t have it any other way!”
She seems very…confident! I wish them both the best. I was curious as to if there was any real relationships with the other housewives and that does not appear to be the case. Although, I’m pretty sure production will assign the newbies a “friend.”
Yay! More professional actresses added to a reality show. Production won’t have to interfere for any reason to create drama. ?
Bye Camille!
I think Sutton and Rinna are real life besties.
Thank you Kyle!!! Thank you TT for the update. I had read the news, but you always have the news PLUS! Glad for Camille to be gone. She just looked thirsty for attention. That is a lot of housewives. I guess I will still be tuning in to this Bravo show then. I’ve always loved Kyle and now I’m curious to see what the two newbies bring. I’m really over the fights and manufactured drama on the Bravo shows. I liked RHOBH because of the fabulous homes and lifestyles and the amazing trios. I’m really glad both LVP and Camille are gone.
Yawn!!
I’m with you on that one. I don’t remember Garcelle from NYPD Blue, but I remember her as Fancy from The Jamie Foxx Show.
If these two women are friends of Rinna, they may be just as fun as Rinna. I can’t picture Garcelle dancing on tables, but one never knows…
RInna literally knows everyone in Beverly Hills she’s been there for a million years. I read on Twitter (so take that for what it is) that Garcelle sent an email to her former husband that said something like “I know you are cheating on me with some whore in Chicago.” and CC:ed his entire office. If that is true she’s probably going to be a lot of fun.
It was reported in the New York Post I believe. Huge scandal at the time as I believe her husband is an investment banker. She did it cuz he had a whole family with the other woman!
I presumed Garcelle still lived in NYC/NJ. Didn’t know she moved to Bev Hills. To me she’s best known for The Jamie Fox Show.o
I mean her ex husband.
That is true
This should definitely add some spice! Now who should be demoted to friend? I say Dorit, she’s kinda boring.
Anyone? Friend?
Dorit should have been a friend years ago! Especially after pantygate.
I ❤ Garcelle!
Garcelle Beauvais and Lisa Rina are friends, so it’s gonna be interesting to see how Lisa introduces her into the group. Garcelle is an legitimate actress and a lot people are familiar with her as Fancy from the “Jamie Foxx Show”. Season 10 is definitely about to be interesting.
Interesting about Kyle not wanting to film with Camille, Kyle has stated in the past she has never refused to film with anyone.
I found that interesting as well. Kyle is a lot like Kandi from RHOA who will film with whoever they are told too with no complaints. That says a lot about how bad Camille is.
Camille definitely was acting batshit. But didn’t she go through breast cancer? I ask because the doctors won’t allow you to take any kid of hormone therapy for peri or full on menopause. Not even bio-identical nor homeopathic shit that hasn’t been FDA approved. So essentially you have to go through the crazy for about ten years like in the olden days. Plus, breast cancer at a relatively young age puts many into premature menopause. I presume she was a cunt to begin with, but wondering if the extra was due to the untreatable crazy?
I’m not trying to throw shade. I went through it myself and I didn’t/don’t even recognize myself from shit I said and did when I was in it. IT SUCKED SO BAD! But then like one month it was over and I was just back to the normal crazy lol.
Shit. I thought this comment was in moderation and deleted. Didn’t mean to hog the thread or overshare. TT, please delete if necessary. Sorry my bad.
Nah you are fine. I’m not on site as much lately. I think it went to moderation and it took me a while.:)
I think Camille had ovarian cancer. I was waiting for someone else to say that. Because I’m not sure.
I went the ten years of crazy too without meds. and documented it all here in full bore crazy embarrassing detail. I never got back to my old self. Just every so slightly not as bad.
I also think she had ovarian that spread. But, let’s look at the behavior season 1 vs season 2. I believe she was pretty stressed, but being stressed doesn’t make you a mean girl and she was the epitome of a mean girl season 1. She realized the feedback, made amends and held back her crazy for season 2. Camille is opinionated, two faced and a shit talker. That said, I did enjoy her crazy and stirring things up…she just couldn’t keep track of who she said what to!
Garcelle is so beautiful!!!!
Camille must have been even worse than we saw. And that was bad enough. Kyle is neither a petty person, nor a diva.
One thing that bugs me… when black women cite Black Girl Magic. If a Caucasian woman said White Girl Stardust, Or anything “white girl” she would be trashed. The ladies on Married to Medicine use that term too.
You can’t be serious. Black women, who, historically, have been oppressed and told they’re less than, found a way to celebrate themselves, and you have a problem with that?
Girl bye with that ignorance..
Some folks just can’t take not being the center of attention.
Oh my goodness that is funny, why I have heard white girls using the term “White Trash” all the time and nobody gives a hoot about it at all.
It’s very say that instead of celebrating the fact that a real housewives franchise has FINALLY integrated on of the franchises, we have people offended by the phrase “black girl magic.” A simple phrase of celebration of self.
Sadly, this country has gotten more racist over the past three or four years than ever and is quickly reversing a lot of progress we had made moving toward a country of racial inclusion. Some days it feels like it’s the 1940s or 1950s instead of nearly 2020.
I totally agree. I even said we were going BACKWARDS in a recent rant. I can’t remember which Bravo thread or day because my brain is fried and my circadian rhythm is still fucked up from the RHOC night from hell.
I will be reading recaps of RHOBH after this awesome news. I’m so glad LVP is really out and both of these women sound like a fun addition.
I wish they would do this with every city. It might make me re-consider watching. A mixed cast is much more of a realistic portrayal of any of these cities. I wonder if they’ll ever get a same sex couple on a housewives show. Wait, nevermind. I forgot, none of this will happen because, Bravo. To think I started out liking this network because of “Inside the Actors Studio”
I give up. :/
OMG this.
GAYS ? ON ? HOUSEWIVES ?
I volunteer as tribute.
People are saying what they are really thinking, and THAT is scary to me. Y’all been hiding in plain sight.
Get over it, Nanette. We’re sprinkling our magic dust everywhere we go.
Tamara I’m glad you wrote about this. I’m trying to remember the last time Bravo officially announced 2 new housewives at the beginning of filming. Jerry O’Connell got in trouble for announcing Denise Richards last season and if I’m remembering correctly that was pretty far into filming. The announcement just seemed weird to me…don’t they normally test new hw’s first? I understand Bravo being excited about Garcelle but Sutton Stracke? No shade to her but it’s not like it’s Kathy Hilton. Just seems weird to me for Bravo to put out a press release 6 months or so before the show comes back. Maybe the early footage has blown them away or something.
It is very strange. That is why I didn’t jump on the story without confirmation. Have two new full-time housewives is also highly unusual. I still don’t think I’ve gotten the whole story. I also think LVP has something to do with this. Perhaps it is Bravo’s way of telling her THE DOOR IS CLOSED. I mean the cast didn’t even know about them being fulltime until Garelle showed up to film.
That would make sense about LVP. Maybe she was hoping that without her the show would suffer and they would want her back mid-season…kind of like NeNe a few seasons back. But I can’t imagine her coming back in any capacity with 8 full-timers.
As a black woman, I’m on the fence about Garcelle. I’m glad to see diversity, but if race now becomes her storyline… I’m out. That’s the number one reason I never thought the majority white + token black formula would work.
I knew they had to do something to add to this show. The last season was dreadful. I really hope they get rid of Dorit and Erika. Funnily enough I’ve met Garcelle a few times when she was doing a charity event with the West Indian Friends association and my grandmother was on the board. She’s VERY direct and to the point and I can easily see her getting the Kenya Moore first season edit.
Good tea Chelle. The Kenya Moore edit would not surprise me.
I don’t know why I ever had any faith in this channel. Of course it will be the angry black woman edit. I do have some faith in Kyle and Rinna at least for not going with this, but… SIGH.
I wonder if we will get any crossover episodes like when the BHs were in NYC and met up with Bethenny. Garcelle is friends with Nene, Cynthia , Eva and Kenya. It would be great to see the BH ladies in ATL visiting where Erika is from and the other ATL ladies pop up.
Oh Gawd! I bet you’re right. Shame on me for thinking that they were going to come around. “Kenya Moore edit”. I expect that’s exactly what they’ll do. I was down to pretty much RHOBH & RHONY, until I started watching RHOC this season again and well…. we all know how that went. Thanks for jarring me back to reality. I think I can safely say I’m out and that Bravo will never redeem themselves. Ever.
Side note: How the hell is WWHL still on the air? Who is watching it? Who hasn’t figured out who Andy is yet?
The rest of the cast seemed to form a genuine bond last season, so it will be interesting to see two new ladies and how they affect that dynamic. Especially when they travel!
Garcelle is also good friends with Heather Dubrow. Maybe Heather and Rinna helped Garcelle to take the plunge.
Sutton’s Instagram is a snooze fest. Like super dull. We shall see…
Garcelle is best known for her role on The Jamie Foxx Show in the 90s/00s but does have an extensive resume and messy divorce. I’m excited.
I was totally NOT watching TV in the 90s. ::)
I’m excited for the newbies, they both are pretty and interesting. However, isn’t Joyce a black woman? She was on for one season. Really beautiful girl. I remember Brandy told Joyce she wouldn’t swim in the pool (I believe in Palm Springs) because she was black and black people don’t know how to swim!
