Garcelle Beauvais doubles down on the “lesbian” comment Kyle Richards on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” … told us the comment wasn't malicious at all.
We caught up with the “RHOBH” star after she appeared to encourage her co-star to come out as a lesbian on last week's episode… and subsequently drew a strong backlash from Kyle in the press.
However, Garcelle doesn't feel bad about her comment… as she tells us, she just wanted to inspire Kyle to live her life the way she wanted amidst the split from her husband Mauricio Umansky.
As you know, Kyle has faced a number of questions surrounding her close friendship with the country singer Morgan Wade … but always claimed that they were just friends.
Nevertheless, Garcelle defends that her statement was not intended to denounce the rumors, but simply to remind that they are “powerful women” and “can be whatever we want.”
But as we previously reported, Kyle didn't necessarily see the comment in the same way… Calling Garcelle an “asshole.” during the 'RHOBH' aftershow online.
Bravo
Per Garcelle, she's amazed at KR's strong reaction to the now-viral moment… considering they laughed a lot about it during the taping.
She remarks… “So her saying that was pretty shady, but you know.”
Sounds like this issue needs to be addressed at the “RHOBH” reunion!!!
