10 Black Women We'd Love To See Join Garcelle Beauvais On RHOBH

When Garcelle Beauvais joined the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills last year, many weren’t sure how she would fit in or fare on the popular, lily white franchise. But after the 10th season aired, it became clear that Beauvais would be the perfect addition to the show. She wasn’t afraid to call people out on their crap (and people are full of it on that one), and carved a lane for herself on the show.

Her friend/ally Denise Richards has decided to exit stage left after spending this latest season accused left and right of being intimate with Brandi Glanville, and now there’s a space open to fill. We’d love to see another Black woman step into the fold that The Real co-host can relate to. A name that was dropped as a possible fit? Sheree Zampino, ex-wife of Will Smith. She already has reality show experience doing Hollywood Exes and can hold her own. For the record, Beauvais is here for it saying, “That would make me so happy.”

Probably wishful thinking, but the more color they can add to that franchise, the better — if you ask us. If Zampino isn’t your cup of tea, we do have a few other wives and ex-wives, and Cali queens, who could also be a great fit on RHOBH.

Nicole Young

What better way to clear things up about her current divorce proceedings and allow the world to really get to know her than for Nicole Young to be on RHOBH? She and Dr. Dre were married for 24 years and we didn’t get to hear much from her during that time. We’re sure she has some very interesting stories to tell.

Nicole Murphy

Yes, we know she too was on Hollywood Exes, but Nicole Murphy is very entertaining. She also has a lot going on, from a jewelry line to keeping her body in tip-top shape at 52 and being a first-time grandmother. She and Garcelle Beauvais would also look stunning on camera together.

LisaRaye

If her cussing out her co-hosts on Cocktails with Queens proved anything, it’s that not only is LisaRaye going to tell it like it is, but she’s also good TV. She loves in Cali and like Beauvais, would call it like she sees it and look good while doing so. Somebody send our good sis a contract!

Lela Rochon

We know she took a step back from acting to focus on being a mother and wife to Antoine Fuqua, but we’d love to catch up with the star now. And if we’re being honest, if she has anything she would ever want to say about that whole drama with her husband and Nicole Murphy, we’d definitely love to hear that too…

Megan Wollover

Currently going through a divorce from estranged husband Tracey Morgan, Megan Wollover is likely looking for a fresh start, which Garcelle Beauvais could support her through based on her own experiences. We’d also be interested in hearing what tore them apart after she was a huge support for Morgan following his near-fatal car crash in 2014.

Brenda Harvey

She was married to Lionel Richie for 18 years, and when she caught him cheating, she notoriously put the paws on him and his mistress (later wife). If she joined the show, she could speak on how she was able to move forward after the pain of that situation, and the divorce. She could also share what it was like raising a future reality TV icon, Nicole Richie.

Theresa Randle

We hadn’t seen actress Theresa Randle in a while until she appeared in Bad Boys for Life last year, reprising her role as Marcus’ wife Theresa. She is married to ’90s rapper Father MC, and we’d be entertained learning about how life has been for her over the years.

Tisha Campbell

With her contentious divorce from Duane Martin, her husband of 22 years, we’re interested in seeing what life is like for the actress and singer now that she’s raising her sons and pursuing her career as a single mom (one college age). We don’t see her being all that feisty on reality TV, but she could still be entertaining.

Jessica Betts

Hey, who said the housewives had to be presently or previously married to men? A wife is a wife, okay? Considering so many want to learn more about how Jessica Betts and new wife Niecy Nash came to fall in love, she could be great on the show. Plus, why not diversify the marital relationships shown?

Amerie

Last time Amerie released a new album was in 2018. Before then, the last time she put out a new album was nine years prior. She has been very focused, and happy, caring for her son, being married to husband Lenny Nicholson and talking to folks about all the books she loves reading. We just would love to catch up with the singer more. Somebody spread the word to Andy Cohen.
