On the latest episode of Watch What Happens Live, Garcelle Beauvais had a candid moment in response to some comments made by Erika Jayne about her dating life. It all started when Andy Cohen asked Garcelle about Erika’s playful jab regarding her romantic history.
Erika had said during a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills confessional that Garcelle Beauvais dating life might have peaked in the ’90s, referencing the actress’s high-profile relationships from that era. In classic Garcelle fashion, she didn’t hold back when asked about it. Her response was direct: “F**k Erika.”
But Andy Cohen, ever the smooth mediator, pointed out that Garcelle’s dating roster from the ’90s wasn’t anything to scoff at. “Your ‘90s roster was impeccable,” he said, giving Garcelle a nod of approval. Laughing, Garcelle agreed, acknowledging her star-studded past with a bit of humor. “I mean, I was a young starlet. Maybe I did peak!” she joked, adding, “I married for love, not for money.”
For context, Garcelle was married twice — first to Daniel Saunders and later to talent manager Mike Nilon, with whom she shares three sons. She had previously spoken about her experiences with her high-profile exes, but this was a fun reminder of just how starry her past was.
But it wasn’t just Garcelle’s Watch What Happens Live appearance that stirred the pot. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills episode “Sutton on Trial at Sea” showed Erika bringing up Garcelle’s dating history while speaking about Kyle Richards’ secrecy around her relationship with country singer Morgan Wade. In her confessional, Erika noted that, much like the rest of the RHOBH group, she didn’t know much about Garcelle’s current love life. That’s when Erika took a playful swipe, saying, “Back in the ‘90s, Garcelle had a roster. Maybe she peaked.”
In an earlier episode, the group had been reminiscing about the old days, when Erika asked Garcelle to name the biggest stars she had ever dated. Garcelle didn’t shy away from the question, mentioning names like Eddie Murphy, Will Smith, and Sean Penn. And, for the cherry on top, she revealed she once shared a kiss with Johnny Depp. You can see why Erika would joke that Garcelle’s dating days were “peaked” in that high-profile era.
