According to Garcelle Beauvais, Bravo’s casting shakeup for season 13 of RHOBH was a “great” move & a much “needed” change for the franchise.
RHOBH returns to Bravo for season 13 on Oct. 25 at 8 p.m. ET and brings new dynamics and a fresh face to the show.
Longtime Beverly Hills Housewife Garcelle Beauvais recently dished on season 13 of RHOBH, as well as new cast member Annemarie Wiley. Per Garcelle, Annemarie may be the diamond in the rough that the franchise has been looking for.
Season 13 of RHOBH stars returning cast members Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Sutton Stracke, Garcelle Beauvais, and Crystal Minkoff.
On top of Annemarie, season 13 Kim Richards, Camille Meyer (Grammer), and Denise Richards. Familiar face, Faye Resnick, also pops in this season.
New group drama emerges as these familiar faces pop back up on the scene during season 13. As seen in the trailer, Erika Jayne and Denise Richards go head-to-head during one spicy dinner party.
“I think the additions are great,” Garcelle told The Messenger. “I also think the change was needed. I really do. It has changed alliances a little bit. It’s left people a little bit more open to forming more friendships with other people.”
The 56-year-old also spoke with TODAY about the biggest storyline of the season: Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s separation.
“I knew they were having a hard time; I was just as shocked as everybody in terms of, like, the separation,” she explained. “I knew there were some things going on, but the separation was shocking to me.”
She added: “It’s hard because I know Kyle and family is everything. It’s tough to watch.”
In the season 13 trailer, Kyle and Mauricio’s separation sends shockwaves through the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast.
However, some RHOBH cast members accuse Kyle of “lying” and “hiding something” amid the split, with others questioning if the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills OG is in “denial” about the status of her marriage.
