‘RHOBH’ fans think Garcelle Beauvais is shading Lisa Rinna’s exit

Fans are convinced that Garcelle Beauvais is the latest “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast member to shade Lisa Rinna’s departure from the hit series.

The fan favorite, 56, posted a video on Instagram Friday showing off her new red hairstyle and chose the Elton John song “I’m Still Standing” to play over it.

“New year New me! #stillstanding  #newlook  #newvibe,” Beauvais cheekily captioned the clip.

“We know who NOT still standing 😍😂,” one fan wrote in response to the post.

“The subtle shade with the song is everything @garcelle you’ve owned it so thats [sic] why your still owning that diamond💎💎💎🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽,” someone else added.

“Yes, sis, you’re still standing, but guess who’s not? Oof, I guess she’s so angry..😂😂,” another person wrote.

“That’s the ‘The witch is dead’ vibe 🔥🔥🔥🔥 R.I.P @lisarinna ba bye ✌🏽,” someone chimed in.

“Can’t help but think the song choice is a little dig to a certain costar that was just fired 😂,” another user simply put it.

Beauvais may not have meant anything by the song choice, but fans couldn’t help but point out that she did so just one day after Rinna, 59, announced her exit from “RHOBH.”

The two women have had an on-again, off-again 20-year friendship and have not always gotten along while filming for their Bravo series.

Beauvais and Rinna were at odds when the “Jamie Foxx Show” alum defended Denise Richards during the dispute over her alleged hookup with “RHOBH” alum Brandi Glanville in Season 10. However, Rinna wanted to call out their pal.

The “Coming 2 America” star and the “Days of Our Lives” alum eventually repaired their friendship, but were once again at odds when Rinna revealed she threw away a copy of Beauvais’ memoir in the garbage.

“RHOBH” fans appeared to overwhelmingly side with Beauvais, and many called for Rinna to be fired.

On Thursday, People reported that Bravo and Rinna had come to a “mutual” decision to no longer work together.

“This is the longest job I have held in my 35 year career and I am grateful to everyone at Bravo and all those involved in the series,” the mother of two told the outlet.

Rinna’s departure was met with mixed reactions from both the “RHOBH” viewers and her former co-stars.

“RHOBH” alum Lisa Vanderpump was the first to subtly shade her former friend when she tweeted, “Ding dong,” shortly after Rinna’s announcement.

However, current cast member Kyle Richards, who is friends with Rinna, clapped back at Vanderpump, 62, and “liked” a tweet that called out the restauranteur.

Bravo has not released further information on Season 13.
