Erika Jayne Calls out Garcelle
Garcelle Beauvais is being criticized by Erika Jayne for including a story about Lisa Rinna’s daughter in her memoir, “Love Me as I Am”. In her book (*snicker), Garcelle recounts an incident that took place during the 10th season of the Bravo reality show after she commented on Rinna’s infamous Instagram dance videos, in which Lisa Rinna often loves to show off her buffed body. At the time, Garcelle said in one of her talking heads, “I love that Lisa’s free enough to do the videos and be dancing, but the dancing nearly naked is not a choice for me if I had a daughter that had body issues.”.
In case you are confused, Garcelle was referencing Rinna’s youngest daughter, Amelia Hamlin, who has been open about having an eating disorder. In another scene, Beauvais directly asked Rinna, “Because you’re so fit, do you ever worry that your fitness and your body hurts your daughter?”. As the time, Lisa said her own body had nothing to do with her daughter’s issues, and then later, addressed Beauvais’ comments by retweeting comments about mom and body shaming.
"Garcelle has brought up a couple of things about whether my posting on Instagram had anything to do with your eating disorder," to which Amelia replied, “I would tell her in the nicest way possible with all due respect, to fuck off ... you just happen to be a very small person. There’s shaming no matter what size you are.”.
In a chapter in her book about “behind-the-scenes stories,” Beauvais wrote about the incident. “One dustup (she was she did there?) came when I simply asked Lisa Rinna, whom I have known for years, if she thought that dancing in her underwear on social media had an effect on her daughter’s struggles with food,” Beauvais wrote. “It was a heartfelt mom-to-mom sort of question not meant to body-shame anyone. Well, clearly there was a nerve struck because it ended up with a very direct, very public ‘F–k off’ a few days later from her daughter. I would have respected Lisa delivering that message more.” Beauvais noted that Rinna later actually apologized to her for what went down between them. “She admitted that she’d taken a lot of heat for allowing her daughter to tell me to ‘F*** OFF’ on camera,” Beauvais wrote. “I told her that as a mother, I would never have allowed my child to blatantly disrespect another adult in such a crass way. She apologized immediately, and I really appreciated that.
In true "housewife" fashion, it didn't end there. Beauvais is now being criticized for mentioning the situation in her "memoir" (I don't know why that term cracks me up). During last week's Twitter rapid fire Q&A, Erika Jayne responded to a series of questions.
One tweet read, “How would you feel if Lisa Rinna wrote a memoir and mentioned your sons and talked about your son’s addiction?”, and Erika responded, “Garcelle could have used her book and her voice to amplify the issue on Haitian immigrants but instead she chose to trash Rinna’s daughter,” another tweeted. But other fans pointed out that Beauvais didn’t bash Hamlin—or even mention her name in the book. Some also noted that Hamlin is not a teenager, but is almost 21-years old. Fair enough.
