Andy Cohen Apologizes To Garcelle Beauvais For Demeaning Her At ‘RHOBH’ Reunion!
Andy Cohen is apologizing for his insensitive handling of Garcelle Beauvais during Part two of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 12 reunion.
Andy Cohen is under controversy for not holding Lisa Rinna and Erika Girardi accountable for trashing Garcelle Beauvais’ book — actions that left the author fighting tears.
During the discussion, Andy poked fun at Lisa’s recycling habits. “Do you recycle?” the host asked Lisa, and followed up by noting, “You took a lot of s–t, Erika, for her lack of recycling.” His unprofessionalism behavior outraged fans, who demanded justice for Garcelle Beauvais.
On Monday, October 24, Cohen addressed the complaints by issuing an apology on his SiriusXM show Radio Andy.
“Everybody’s been talking about the Beverly Hills reunion. And I just want to say, I’ve been listening to everyone’s feedback about the reunion, and I really need to sincerely apologize, not only for diverting the topic but for not returning — even worse — to the serious conversation that was at hand.” The 54-year-old said.
Cohen noted that he has “deep admiration” for Garcelle, adding, “She and I had a really good, productive conversation last Thursday, and I should have been more in tune with her feelings.”
He concluded his message by saying, “So, I just wanted to say that because I’ve been logging in and I get it.”
During The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion, Lisa admitted to trashing Garcelle’s book, Love Me as I Am, in the garbage upon discovering it mentioned her daughter Amelia Hamlin’s eating disorder.
“Garcelle and I had a handshake agreement the kids were off limits,” Lisa told the group. “And so, about a year and a half later, she put my daughter Amelia in her book in not a positive light, in a negative light. And that’s what I did.”
Garcelle then explained that the passage was “retelling of the story of what happened in Rome.” A flashback of the cast trip to Italy in Season 10 was shown of Garcelle asking Lisa, “Do you think that your body image affected your daughter in any way?”
“Amelia shouldn’t have to be in Garcelle’s book in a negative light,” Lisa quipped. Garcelle revealed she had the section about Amelia, 21, removed from her book to accommodate Lisa.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion will conclude on October 26, on Bravo, at 9 p.m. ET.
