“That was a chess move” — Garcelle and Sutton Confront Kyle at The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion

The much-anticipated first part of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14 reunion aired on April 1, 2025, with Andy Cohen hosting the lively discussion. The reunion unearthed significant moments from the season, including the unexpected dissolution of Dorit Kemsley and PK’s marriage, as well as the feuds among cast members Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, and Kyle Richards.

Confrontations and Revelations: Garcelle vs. Kyle Over Morgan Wade

A pivotal moment came when Garcelle took Kyle to task over her strategy to distance her friend, Morgan Wade, from Season 14. This sparked a heated exchange involving Sutton, who was drawn into the debate after Garcelle prompted her to recount a comment she made after Kyle spoke to the group off-camera.

“That’s not what you said. You said, ‘That was a chess move,'” Garcelle interjected.

Kyle expressed her frustration, labeling Garcelle and Sutton as “mean girls.”Meanwhile, Dorit reflected on how her communication with PK had evolved, hinting at ongoing issues without offering a resolution. A statement from PK clarified his concerns about the public scrutiny of their struggles and denied any allegations of irresponsible parenting. Notably, he chose to skip attending the reunion.

Missing Morgan Wade: A Controversy at the Reunion

During the reunion, Garcelle confronted Kyle regarding the absence of Morgan Wade from the current season, questioning why her presence was ignored.

“We’re just supposed to pretend that’s not happening? Is that reality?” Garcelle posed.

Kyle explained that Morgan had not opted to participate in Season 14, yet Garcelle pressed on, challenging the choice to overlook her friend’s involvement. As the conversation intensified, Sutton highlighted Kyle’s earlier remark, referring to it as a “chess move,” to which Kyle defensively remarked:

“The two of you together are mean girls.”

Sutton maintained that she was trying to honor Kyle’s wishes regarding not discussing Morgan. Host Andy Cohen inquired whether Sutton was seeking Kyle’s approval, leading Garcelle to assert that the friendship between Sutton and Kyle seemed to hold significant importance for Sutton. In a flashback, Kyle brought up a prior incident from a group trip to Saint Lucia, reminding everyone how Sutton had felt unsupported when she faced criticism. Garcelle defended herself by asserting her loyalty as a friend to Sutton.

Dorit Opens Up About Personal Struggles

In a candid moment, Dorit opened up about her separation from PK, revealing that they had not yet informed their children because they appeared to be unaffected by the situation. She characterized PK as “a full-blown alcoholic” during a montage shown at the reunion.

When questioned about PK’s sobriety, Dorit shared that the topic was seldom discussed, explaining that PK had chosen to avoid it altogether with her.

“The way you’re making me feel in this moment, I don’t think I can have a relationship with you. Even a friendship,” Dorit retorted to PK.

Kyle expressed discomfort over PK’s absence, suggesting that it was unfair for him not to defend himself amid the ongoing conversation. Sutton added that it appeared Dorit was unfairly “throwing”her husband “under the bus,” intensifying the already fraught discussion.

As the conversation turned back to past comments about the traumatic home invasion at Dorit’s house, the tension continued. Garcelle expressed regret over any hurt she may have caused during their discussions.

“This was my feeling. I am sorry if it hurts you,” Garcelle stated openly.

Dorit raised a point, suggesting that Garcelle had insinuated PK’s involvement, to which Garcelle rebutted firmly, asserting that she had never directly implicated either party.

For those eager for more drama and insights, the first part of the reunion of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is currently available for streaming on Bravo.
