Garcelle Beauvais doubles down on the “lesbian” comment made to the address Kyle Richards The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills … telling us the remark was in no way malicious.
We caught up with the “RHOBH” star after she appeared to encourage her co-star to come out as a lesbian during last week’s episode … and subsequently sparked a backlash from Kyle in the press.
Garcelle doesn’t take her comment lightly, though … as she tells us, she was just trying to inspire Kyle to live her life the way she wanted to amid her split from her husband. Mauricio Umansky.
As you know, Kyle has faced a number of issues regarding his close friendship with the country singer Morgan Wade … but always insisted they were just friends.
Still, Garcel defends that her statement wasn’t meant to dig into the gossip … rather, it was just a reminder that they are “powerful women” and “can be whatever we want them to be.”
However, as we previously reported, Kyle didn’t necessarily see the remark the same way… blasting Garcelle as an “a**hole After “RHOBH” premiered online.

Bravo!
According to Garcell, he’s baffled by KR’s strong reaction to the now-viral moment … considering they had a good laugh about it during the taping.
He notes… “So, because it was very shady, but, you know.”
Sounds like this needs to be addressed at the ‘RHOBH’ reunion!!!
