Garcelle Beauvais says she ‘felt pressure’ as the first black ‘RHOBH’ star
Garcelle Beauvais felt anxious ahead of her first season on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” “Did I feel the pressure of being the first black woman on [‘RHOBH’]? Yes, I definitely felt pressure that people wanted me to come in and do a certain thing or have a chip on my shoulder,” Beauvais, who joined the show this season, said on Wednesday’s episode of “Reality Life with Kate Casey.” Beauvais, 53, is the first person of color to hold a “RHOBH” diamond in its 10 seasons on the air. “I really didn’t want to be labeled an angry black woman, because that’s not who I am,” she continued.
