Before “Real Housewives,” Beauvais starred in series such as “The Jamie Foxx Show” and “NYPD Blue,” and has had roles in films like “Coming to America,” “White House Down” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”

Garcelle Beauvais has had a blast the last five years on 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.' Now it's time for a change, she says, so she's leaving the show.

Over the years, the Real Housewives franchise (which is streaming with a Peacock subscription) has become a bonafide behemoth. At any time in the year there are multiple cities airing new episodes, and currently that includes The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
