Recap of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion Part 1
The much-anticipated Episode 14 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, airing on April 1, marked the first segment of the reunion. The iconic Andy Cohen hosted the lively couch conversation, where the cast members primarily focused on their controversies involving Garcelle.
Kyle’s Controversial Comments
Kyle Richards initiated a heated discussion, expressing her opinion that Garcelle was mistaken for believing it was unjust to exclude Morgan from her storyline. Kyle argued that Morgan chose to steer clear of the show, which she felt was not her realm of interest.
In counterpoint, Garcelle maintained that it was unfair for the cast to abruptly stop mentioning Morgan, especially when they had previously engaged with her during the prior season. She pointed out that images of Kyle and Morgan socializing circulated online, and it felt disingenuous to ignore their friendship.
Kyle further drew parallels between Garcelle’s son, who distanced himself due to racial harassment on social media, and Morgan’s decision to avoid the limelight. This remark sparked backlash from fans on social media platforms, particularly on X.
“Kyle is full of sh*t! ‘I’ve shown my life for 14 years.’ Cut it out. You exploited your sister’s alcoholism while you walked away like a martyr! More like you’ve been a professional victim for 14 years,”a fan stated.
“There are actual videos, tattoos, and public appearances between Morgan and Kyle, yet the topic is off limits because Kyle asked? That’s completely a double standard considering how they did Denise,”another user remarked.
“I think the fakeness of this cast is fitting as it is infuriating. Garcelle speaking about Morgan and Kyle not sharing are convos others had. They all silently agreed with her, but none spoke up. RHOSLC would NEVER. they would’ve shared how they felt,”stated a third fan.
“Why does Kyle always get first seat? She’s boring w/o her sisters & She declined to talk about Morgan, they had to drag her to talk about her divorce,”wrote another fan.
Criticism of Kyle’s Comparisons
Viewers were quick to criticize Kyle for equating her narrative involving Morgan to the struggles of Garcelle’s son. Fans expressed their disbelief at the comparison, highlighting the stark differences in their circumstances.
“Baffled @KyleRichards mentioned this as a comparison. Umm Hello. Kyle chose to be in Morgan’s music video as a love interest, Kyle tattooed Morgan on camera, Kyle is traveling the country on Morgan’s tour VS Garcelle’s minor child receiving death threats,”an X user commented.
“Yes Kyle, a teenager who was harassed online didn’t want to deal with you **sholes anymore. To even try to compare that with your lover Morgan is sick and insane,”another echoed.
“Kyle comparing a child to a grown **s woman not wanting to be on the show,”commented one viewer.
“Garcelle’s son was a minor who was racially attacked and cyberbullied. You have been parading your girlfriend around the town! IS KYLE SERIOUS?!”another fan questioned.
Further Revelations from the Reunion
During the reunion, Erika Jayne was the first to challenge Garcelle for her perceived lack of personal revelations throughout the season. Garcelle defended herself, explaining her recent divorce left her with little to share. Erika criticized Garcelle’s engagement level, fueling the tension.
Subsequently, Kyle joined Erika in questioning Garcelle’s openness, emphasizing her own contributions to the show over the years, including her family disputes. Protecting Morgan’s choice to stay out of the limelight, Kyle shared that her own experience left her anxious.
“The two of you together are mean girls,”Kyle remarked, directing her statement at Garcelle and Sutton.
Garcelle confronted Kyle, recalling how she encouraged her to embrace her identity during their interactions; actions that Kyle later mocked. This sparked a back-and-forth where Kyle accused Garcelle of trying to embarrass her, a point Garcelle disputed.
