After joining the franchise in 2020, the Jamie Foxx Show alum teased what viewers could expect from her presence.
“First of all, I’ve been a fan of the show. I’ve obviously been friends with Denise [Richards] for over 20 years, friends with [Lisa] Rinna a very long time as well,” she told E! News at the time. “So being a fan, and then when it came up, I thought immediately…My team was like, ‘Oh, we’re gonna pass,’ and I said, ‘Wait a minute, wait a minute! Let me let me sit on this for a minute.’ And I thought, you know what, why not do something outside of the box, right?”
Noting that the diversification of the cast is what she believed is “one hundred percent” important “because that’s the world we live in,” Garcelle explained that the timing couldn’t have been better.
“I think it’s about time and I don’t really know why they didn’t do it before. I’m glad it’s me,” she told E!. “I think it’s about time. I think we all want to see ourselves represented in all aspects of life, right? So I think when they came to me, the timing was right, and I was happy. I was happy to get on board.”
