Andy Cohen and #RHOBH’s Kyle Richards also weighed in on the possibility of Lisa Vanderpump coming back to the show.
yle Richards may be skeptical about the prospect of having Lisa Vanderpump return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but there’s one diamond holder who is ready for it: Garcelle Beauvais.
On the January 30 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Mark Consuelos asked the actress, “If you could bring back one of the former former housewives, who would you bring back on the show?”
Garcelle immediately responded, “Lisa Vanderpump.”
“Oh yeah for sure she has some unfinished business,” she explained of her reasoning. “Her and I get along great, so, yeah, she would be a great ally.”
Details on Garcelle Beauvais and Lisa Vanderpump’s friendship
Though they never appeared on RHOBH together (Lisa left the series after Season 9, while Garcelle joined the cast on Season 10), the ladies have formed a friendship in recent years.
In October 2021, Lisa threw a charity event for Haiti at her bar/restaurant, Tom Tom, which Garcelle attended.
“She was actually putting on an event for Haiti at Tom Tom. Yeah, and so I got to meet her,” Garcelle told The Daily Dish in 2022 about how the two got to know each other. “There was Haitian music blaring. There were more Haitians than I knew there were in California that night there. So I just fell in love with what she was doing.”
Lisa also gave Garcelle’s son, Oliver Saunders, a job at her Las Vegas restaurant, Vanderpump à Paris, further solidifying the pair’s friendship.
Does Andy Cohen want Lisa Vanderpump back on RHOBH?
Andy Cohen said on the January 21 broadcast of his Sirius XM series, Radio Andy, “It was repeated all over the place that I’m trying to get Lisa Vanderpump back on The [Real] Housewives of Beverly Hills. Now, let me restate my abject love for Lisa Vanderpump, but I don’t know where the rumor came from. And, like, I kind of don’t see her coming back to that show.”
Andy added that Lisa’s connection to the group would be through her friendship with Garcelle, since she’s no longer close with Kyle or Dorit Kemsley.

In an Amazon Live stream from December 2024, Kyle revealed why she doesn’t think Lisa will be rejoining the group any time soon.
“LVP said that it would have to start with an apology and — by the way — nobody’s asking to, sorry,” Kyle said on the livestream about how she thinks Lisa will only come back if they repair their friendship. “So, don’t hold your breath. Happy holidays.”
