Beauvais Left RHOBH Last Year
The actress and television personality reflected on her decision to leave “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” after five seasons on the Bravo series.
In an interview with Variety in 2025, Beauvais explained that there was a moment when she realized it was time to move on.
“There was a moment where I felt like I no longer belonged here,” she said. “I no longer fit in here. It was definitely a moment of like, ‘This is not for me.’ It just didn’t feel right.”
Beauvais officially exited the franchise in March 2025, ending a run that made her one of the show’s most recognizable and influential cast members.
In 2024, Variety named her one of reality television’s 30 most powerful women, noting her ability to navigate drama while maintaining her authenticity.
According to PEOPLE, she spoke at an event in May and reflected on the overwhelming response she received when she first joined RHOBH as the franchise’s first Black full-time cast member.
“A friend of mine, Natalie, texted me and she’s like, ‘You’re trending on Twitter,’” Beauvais recalled. “And I was like, ‘Why? I’m making pork chops for the boys.’ I didn’t understand what was happening.”
Though she credited the show with expanding her audience and elevating her profile, Beauvais said she ultimately trusted her instincts when deciding to leave.
“It gave me a new audience that I didn’t have before,” she said. “It gave me a different, in terms of brand recognition and all that, but knowing when to leave, my spirit was not … My spirit was no longer there. I couldn’t do it anymore. I just couldn’t do it.”
Now, fans are rallying around Beauvais as she grieves the loss of her beloved sister and remembers the memories they shared together.
