As the great RuPaul would say, “Reading is fundamental.” And Lisa Vanderpump seems to agree. Despite not being a housewife with a vested interest anymore, Lisa has clearly seen the fighting between Erika Jayne and Garcelle Beauvais on social media. It’s certainly garnered a lot of attention. And it will surely drive fans to tune in for the upcoming season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to see where it all went wrong.
Fans started to wonder when Garcelle and costar Sutton Stracke both unfollowed Erika on social media. Garcelle later explained,“OK, all I can say is, she called me something that I did not like, and so therefore, when somebody offends you in a way, I don’t want to see her posts, I don’t want to put a little like.” Fair enough. Erika also unfollowed and tensions grew. When the season 12 trailer dropped, Garcelle picked up on a particular scene that stole the show. In the clip, Garcelle tells Erika,“I don’t have to make you look bad, you can do that on your own.” She used the now famous line in an Instagram post to promote her book, Love Me As I Am. Erika responded with a video of Garcelle’s book in the trash.
Of course, people are taking sides, and that includes LVP. As reported by E! News, Lisa took a moment to shade Erika. She said of Erika’s video, “I thought that was kind of pretty mean, honestly.” Lisa added, “Maybe Erika didn’t understand it. Maybe Garcelle should have sent her a scratch and sniff book or something.” So much for being a sniper on the side! LVP was a straight shooter on that one.
Of course, Lisa is known for being cheeky and maybe she was in this case too. But the Vanderpump Rules House Mother rarely speaks without thinking. She then joked of Garcelle’s book, “I actually sent somebody to get it out of the trash. I read it and it was really damn good.”

It shouldn’t come as a total surprise that Lisa would side with Garcelle. Not only for the fact that Erika is being petty, but because LVP and Garcelle have been friends for awhile now. Garcelle was even present to celebrate the grand opening of Lisa’s new Vegas restaurant, Vanderpump à Paris.
Garcelle previously noted that she met Lisa “on neutral grounds.” Meaning, before Lisa was a housewife. The two are so cool that Garcelle even revealed that her son is working for LVP in Vegas. Garcelle shared, “And now she’s employed my son and I love that. I also think she’s a great businesswoman. And for me, I can relate to that.”
