We talked to GarcelleB about writing her first book, making the move from scripted to reality television, and which Real Housewives she’d get stuck on a deserted island with
Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photo: Getty Images, Amazon When Garcelle Beauvais joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2020, she was the franchise’s first Black Housewife and, at the time, the only Housewife of color. Beauvais has quickly become a fan favorite, injecting some much-needed humor and well-timed callouts to the cast, and the trailer for the upcoming season shows her in top form.
You write that you always knew you wanted to write a book. What made you decide that now was the time? How did you approach writing stories that included your sons and your ex since you’re still on friendly terms with him? You write a bit about the distinction between playing a role on TV and being yourself on TV within limits. How do you feel about not being able to necessarily control the way the public reacts to you on the show? How have you felt like you’ve been received?
It’s a little bit of all those things. Sometimes it’s a burden — why can’t I just come in and be light and airy like everybody else? Why do I have to educate? But I do. And that’s what comes with being a Black woman. What I thought was great about the conversation with Kyle was that it wasn’t a moment for me to disrespect her, although I felt disrespected, but it was more about educating her.
