- Lisa Rinna tells PEOPLE she has “nothing to say” about Garcelle Beauvais recently announcing her departure from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
- Beauvais announced she was leaving the long-running series in an Instagram post on March 25
- “It’s been a wild ride, some amazing things have happened, and some hard things have also happened — but it’s been a ride nevertheless,” Beauvais told fans in a video
Lisa Rinna doesn’t have much to say about Garcelle Beauvais‘ recent The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills exit.
While speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at H&M&LA event in Los Angeles on April 9, Rinna — who left the Bravo show in 2023 after eight seasons — insisted she hasn’t been keeping up with what’s been happening since her departure.
“I have not, no. I have no idea what’s going on,” she tells PEOPLE of whether she’s been tuning in.
Rinna, 61, adds of what she thinks about Beauvais leaving the show, “I have nothing to say, bye!”
Rinna and Beauvais have been friends for years, but they’ve had multiple clashes during their time on RHOBH.

While speaking almost two years after her own exit, Rinna told PEOPLE in October 2024 that she was “happy” with her life post-RHOBH. “I get to express myself in ways that, like, no one’s stopping me … I could not be happier. Life is good,” she insisted.
Rinna’s recent comments came after Beauvais revealed she was saying goodbye to the long-running series after starring on the show for the past five seasons.
She said in a March 25 Instagram video, “I have some news: I have decided to leave Beverly Hills. It’s been a wild ride, some amazing things have happened, and some hard things have also happened — but it’s been a ride nevertheless.”
She went on to detail what motivated her to leave the reality hit, chalking it up to a combination of wanting to devote time to her sons and to focus on new projects.

Before ending her speech, she thanked everyone behind the show, including executive producer Andy Cohen, Bravo, NBC Universal, and production companies Evolution and 32 Flavors, as well as “the producers, the crew, and of course, the ladies.”
“Andy Cohen says I can come back anytime, the door will always be open, so you never know, I might pop back in sometime,” Beauvais teased.
“To the fans, I want to say thank you so much. You guys have cheered me on, supported me, and sometimes even fought for me or on my behalf. It means a lot and I hope you guys will continue on this journey with me,” she shared, adding, “It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later. So see you later.”
Beauvais, who shared the news hours before the season 14 finale’s premiere, captioned the video, “Cheers to the next chapter.”
Bravo viewers first met Beauvais when she joined RHOBH in season 10, which began airing in April 2020. She made history as the first Black woman to join the cast of the Los Angeles-based series since its debut in October 2010.
