BravoCon 2025 is officially underway, and—shocker—the drama started before the first panel even ended. During the massive 20-year Housewives celebration hosted by Andy Cohen on Thursday, November 13, fans got a moment so messy it will definitely make the “Watch What Happens Live” broadcast.
Erika Jayne got booed. Loudly. And not for her outfit, not for her vocals, but for a classic Erika answer that sent the BravoCon crowd into full chaos mode.
Erika Jayne Shades Garcelle Beauvais — and the Audience Reacts
Andy kicked off the WWHL-style taping, celebrating 20 Years of Housewives, with the usual shady games designed to stir up trouble. Naturally, Erika walked right into it. When asked which former cast member she’d bring back to “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and which one she’d “forget,” Erika wasted zero time naming names.
She told Andy she’d love to see Teddi Mellencamp back on RHOBH. And as for the Housewife she’d “forget”?
Erika said Garcelle Beauvais.
The audience’s response was instant. And loud. And not in her favor.
A wave of boos rolled through the room, making it clear exactly where the BravoCon crowd stands in the Erika vs. Garcelle universe. Cocktailers could have predicted this one from a mile away.
To be fair, the tension between Erika and Garcelle didn’t start today. Garcelle previously said on “Watch What Happens Live” that she’d only return to RHOBH if Erika weren’t there. Erika has fired her own shots, including shady commentary about Garcelle’s exit. So yes — they’ve both been poking the bear. But in the battle for fan sympathy, it’s looking like Garcelle is winning without even showing up.
Still, Erika didn’t seem bothered. She smirked, shrugged, and kept it moving. Honestly? It wasn’t even close to the nuclear booing Lisa Rinna got at BravoCon 2022 just for breathing near the stage. At least Erika earned hers.
“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” returns Thursday, December 4 at 8/7c on Bravo, with next-day streaming on Peacock.
