The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne recently stated in an interview that she wanted privacy in her new relationship. Now, fans are calling her out for previously telling Garcelle Beauvais she needed to share more of her life.
At the RHOBH season 14 reunion, Andy Cohen mentioned that Erika had previously stated that she wanted to see more from Garcelle and Sutton Stracke. After that, she said, “We want the juicy scoop.”
They talked for a bit, and Garcelle stated that she had opened up about her life. Erika then said, “We wanna know who you’re dating, girl.” After that, the actress implied that nothing was going on in her dating life at that time, despite there having been previously “one guy that I went on two dates with.”
After that, Andy asked what more Erika wanted to see from Garcelle. She responded, “I wish you were more interesting, I guess.” They went back and forth before Erika mentioned how she and some of the other ladies had experienced intense emotional situations on the show, such as divorces.
Garcelle said, “Well, my divorce happened before I came on the show, and I was very open about it.” Toward the end of the clip, Kyle Richards also chimed in, saying Garcelle has called her out for not sharing her life, and then gave examples of how she has.
Regarding Erika’s backlash, she recently interviewed with US Weekly and discussed her new relationship with John McPhee. She started by saying that she likes people who are “confident and intelligent.” She also briefly discussed how they got together, which was in London when she was there for a music festival.
The controversy came in when she discussed wanting to keep the relationship to herself and why the cast hasn’t met him. She said, “Because I like him and I know how bad these things are for your relationships, like I’ve gone through too much on this. I think I need — I would like to keep that relationship special and over here, if I could.”
Erika also said he’s never seen the show and that he makes her feel “calm and peaceful.” She also said she “needed space” and that it was “nice to have someone completely different.”
Many RHOBH fans have shared their thoughts on social media. One person said, “And what has Erica shared?” Someone else wrote, “Says the most uninteresting one on the show.” Another fan said, “It’s all hypocrisy. Kyle demands the same from her ‘castmates’ but never wants to share her own life. If Erika and Kyle feel this way, then maybe they shouldn’t be on a reality tv show!”
In defense of Erika, another person said, “Yeah, because Garcelle doesn’t share anything except the little tidbits about her kids. Erika over shared her whole life was on display for years, so now, yeah, she wants to have a little bit of privacy.”
They continued, “Everybody can see who the boyfriend is and whatever she just doesn’t want him on the show, understandably so because every single person that’s on the show ends up in divorce practically but she does share still why do you think Kyle shares any more than anybody else she kept her lesbian relationship a secret for how long or tried to.”
RHOBH airs on Thursday nights.
