Garcelle Is Investigating Attacks Against Jax After Suggesting Diana Was Involved and More ‘RHOBH’ Season 12 Reunion Revelations

Not wasting any time. Kyle Richards, Garcelle Beauvais, Erika Jayne, Lisa Rinna, Crystal Kung Minkoff, Dorit Kemsley and Sutton Stracke kicked off The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 reunion on Wednesday, October 12. While Diana Jenkins was physically missing from the taping, which went down last month, because she was “not feeling well,” Kyle’s Halloween costar Jamie Lee Curtis made a cameo to deliver pumpkins carved with their faces on them. The actress appeared on an episode earlier in the season to promote her charity — My Hand In Yours — which she revealed on Wednesday gave the foundation its biggest bump in years. The group got into the drama when Curtis left, with Andy Cohen kicking off a decision about Garcelle’s son Jax being bombarded with racist and hateful social media messages while the show was airing. “It was the most cruel thing that anybody could do to a child. I mean, it was really cruel. It was his first week of high school and, you know, my Playboy pictures were sent to him,” the Jamie Foxx Show alum said before nearly getting emotional. “It hurt a lot. The one that really affected us all is someone saying, ‘If it wasn't for your white Daddy, you would have a knee on your neck.’ … I'm trying to hold it together.” The producer concluded the segment with a PSA about the hate: “I’m not alone in saying how appalled I am at what's been happening on social media. You can love our cast and you can love to hate our cast — if you want — but only in the spirit of entertainment. It's a TV show, everybody. There's no room for this kind of hate. And Bravo unequivocally condemns it.” Cohen wasn’t out of the woods, however, as Dorit called him out after the host “swallowed a yawn” when she was discussing the effects of the robbery at her home. “Am I boring you? Are you kidding me? Again! Two years in a row, Andy?” she asked as a flashback from last year’s reunion played. “This topic is a lot harder for me than it is for you, Andy. … I take day by day, you know, there are days that I'm really great and then all of a sudden, I have some really bad days, and I have diagnosed PTSD.” Kyle subsequently revealed that one of the men who robbed her home in 2017 got in contact with her to make her buy back her items. “He reached out to my sister-in-law and said I was a person that burglarized your home, was put in jail and all of your items [are] at my grandmother's house,” she said. “And then he was sending me pictures of the things. And then we sent him some of the money. And then he was like, ‘I feel like you guys are calling the police,’ and we're like, ‘I don't care about the police. I just want my stuff back.’” Part two and part three of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion air on Wednesday, October 19, and Wednesday, October 26, respectively, at 8 p.m. ET.

Did Garcelle Think Someone on the Cast Was Behind Jax’s Bot Attacks?

After Cohen noted that Lisa was one of the “first people to condemn the online attacks toward Jax” — she called the posts “the most disgusting, unacceptable, horrific thing” — Garcelle admitted that she isn’t ruling out the idea that one of her costars hired the bots to harass her teen.

“I don't know for a fact that they would have said that, but I think maybe purchasing the bots. It felt to me there was a pattern of attacking my children,” Garcelle said. “So for me, it felt like I wasn't wanted on this show, so this is a way to get me out. Because if you attack my children, most likely I will leave. And so that's why I felt that way. But I do have an investigation going on.”

When Diana joined the group virtually, she denied any involvement after Garcelle said she believed she could possibly be behind it since one of the threatening messages said “Leave Diana alone.”

“You obviously have a very low opinion of me if you think that I would be behind the bullying of a 14-year-old,” Diana said before Garcelle simply replied, “Yeah.”

Diana added: “I don’t know how evil I must appear that you would even consider the fact that I would do that to Jax."

Diana Sent Garcelle a ‘Threatening Message’

The two women got into it over Jax not taking out the "Leave Diana alone" part of the hateful message when he posted it begging viewers to stop. 

“Jax was at his dad's house when he got the very last text that was horrific. … He's a 14-year-old kid, he gets this horrendous message. He's not thinking, ‘Let me take out Diana's name, so she's not implicated.’ He put it out there because he was fearful, he had enough. So Diana thinks that we should have taken her name out,” Garcelle explained. “When Jax received that he wasn't thinking about protecting anybody but himself. … You want in the middle of trying to protect my child — I have to then come and save all you? … [Diana texted me], pretty much, ‘If anything happens to my family, I'm coming for you.’”

Dorit’s Trauma From Robbery Has Affected Her Marriage

“One of the things that happens in trauma that people don't realize is that there's no aspect of your life that's not touched. I've had issues in my marriage, and I have a wonderful marriage,” she said of her marriage to PK Kemsley. “It does something to your confidence as a mom, you feel depleted. It's hard to get out of bed some days. I mean, you're grieving the loss of who you were before.”

When asked about allegations that PK “orchestrated the robbery for an insurance scam,” Dorit fired back: “I'm struggling with trying to get out of bed in the morning. … This isn't something that you can orchestrate. I know what I've been through and I was very lucky.  … It is still an open investigation.”

Erika Addresses Her Comment About Crystal’s Eating Disorder

When asked whether Crystal was upset that Sutton barged into her room last season because of her eating disorder, Crystal replied: “No, [I wasn’t bingeing and purging]. That situation was not the reason why I felt the way I felt, but it's attached to my body dysmorphia. ... It wasn't that situation, but it's because you were not close.”

Erika was then called out for her remark during this season about taking a laxative after feeling guilty about what you eat.

“I said, ‘This is what I would do.’ I was empathetic. I thought I was empathizing. But then I found out ‘Hey, you can't say that.’ … I grew up in a dance studio. … It was almost as coming from a ‘Hey, if that was me, I would do it like this,’” the Pretty Mess author said, adding that it was “wrong” for her to tell Crystal not to eat chicken nuggets at the same party.

Crystal then got emotional when asked about Dorit telling the group that she “throws up every morning,” telling her costar: “I’m very particular how I speak about it. I tend not to be very graphic about it. It's very shameful. And when I saw that [I thought it was] unacceptable — not OK.”

Diana’s ‘Black Content’ Remark

Diana apologized in June after she replied to a social media hater: “It can't feel good being a Black content creator.”

“Black content, to me, I just associated with a dark web  — with something that is not positive. … Didn't associate with a female, a woman or her skin color, none of that,” Diana explained, with Crystal backing her up after a lengthy conversation about the misunderstanding of people who openly admit that they “write mean things just to troll” the cast.

Diana Explains Her Lawsuit Regarding the Bots

"I will put my right hand, and I am putting it, that nobody in this group would ever go after [Garcelle's] sweetheart son. Not a chance. Not a chance,” she said during part two, which aired on October 19, noting she has lawyers looking into the situation.

Andy Cohen Says Rinna Has ‘No Impulse Control’

“Lisa, I have spoken to you about this privately many times. Your social media is disastrous,” the host told Lisa. “You make so much trouble for yourself. You post something and then you wind up having to delete it. A week or two ago, you posted, ‘I’m never posting about the Housewives of Beverly Hills — and then yesterday, you’re posting up a storm about the reunion and what’s to come and [posting] text messages. … It gives me anxiety. You post some s—t and I’m like, ‘What is she doing?’ Like blaming production for things.”

The actress admitted she gets a “dopamine high” from Instagram but is working on being better. “I try to just express myself and I do. I don’t necessarily think that I’m doing something when I first do it that’s bad. Not always. And then sometimes I’m like, ‘F—k it.’ … I am a work in progress when it comes to that and I’m going to get better. I will.”

Sutton Regrets Her Comment After Dorit’s Robbery

After watching back the clip, Sutton said: "I will regret it probably until the day I die. It was just awful. … I can't stand that I said that. I hate that day."

Rinna Apologizes to Sutton

“I’m not quite sure why you really hate me so much. … You were pretty brutal with me all season. You didn't do it with anybody else but me. So, you know, I don't consider you a friend. I mean, how can I?" Sutton said, asking for an apology.

After Lisa denied hating Sutton, she added: "I am sorry that I took it out on you. I'm sorry that I took my pain, anger, sadness, and fear out on you."

Rinna Was the One Who Threw Out Garcelle’s Book

“I have to be honest — I’m the one that tossed Garcelle’s book in the trash,” Lisa said during part two. “Garcelle and I had a handshake agreement the kids were off limits. And so about a year and a half later, she put my daughter Amelia [Hamlin] in her book in not a positive light, in a negative light. And that's what I did. … Amelia shouldn't have to be in Garcelle's book in a negative light, no matter what.”

The pair “moved on” after Garcelle, who recalled a conversation with Lisa about Amelia's eating disorder in her book, and her team agreed to cut the chapter in the second edition.

"I said, 'What can we do? It's a week before the book actually comes out, what can we do?'" Garcelle recalled. "And so we all came up with a second edition of the book, we will take it out as well as the audio and that's what we did."

Erika, who was the one who posted the photo of the book in the trash via Instagram, joked about how much heat she took for the lack of recycling done at the Rinna house.

"I recycle! It was not my trash,” she said.
