Garcelle Beauvais teased during Wednesday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” that former co-star Richards would return as a “Housewife” on one condition.
“I think she wants to come back,” Beauvais, 54, revealed after noting that she and Richards, 50, have kept in touch since the “Wild Things” star’s departure from the Bravo reality show last year.
Andy Cohen was visibly shocked by Beauvais’ revelation, saying with a laugh, “Oh, really? Let’s talk after the show!”
“Somebody’s gotta go though!” the “Jamie Foxx Show” alum added. “Just sayin’!”
Cohen, 53, noted that ultimatums do not “always work” in the “Housewives” world before pressing Beauvais with one final question: “Are her initials LR?”
The “Real” co-host’s jaw dropped, but she and Cohen did not confirm if he was referring to Lisa Rinna.
As “RHOBH” fans know, Richards and Rinna, 57, had a dramatic falling out after the “Days of Our Lives” star questioned whether the “Real Girl Next Door” author was manipulating her and their other co-stars upon hearing Brandi Glanville’s claim that she had an affair with Richards.
Rinna and Richards also had a heartfelt conversation about repairing their 20-year friendship during a cast trip to Italy on the show, but they were ultimately unable to mend fences.
Beauvais and Richards appeared on Season 10 (2020) of “RHOBH” together, with Richards leaving the franchise after the conclusion of the show’s reunion.
“I’ve been a fan of the show and had a lot of fun doing my first season,” Richards told Beauvais of why she left the show while appearing on “The Real” last summer.
“Obviously, my second season was very challenging. You know, I went back and forth with it, and at the end of the day, I decided it was time for me to move on and focus on other projects that I have. I’m glad that I did it though.”
The “Bold and the Beautiful” actress went on to thank Beauvais for supporting her throughout the season.
“Garcelle, it almost makes me want to cry,” she said. “I truly could not have gotten through the season without you, honestly. She is a girl’s girl, a good friend. Your loyalty is beyond and I really could not have gotten through this season without you.”
Page Six reported at the time that Richards was asking for an “excessive” paycheck to come back to the series after fending off allegations that she and former “RHOBH” star Glanville, 48, had a tryst.
Executive producer Cohen confirmed that they were unable to reach an agreement with Richards, saying on “Reality Check” that he was “kind of living in that sadness” over the axed deal.
Bring back Denise!
