Garcelle Beauvais defends herself against Leslie Bibb's criticism

Garcelle Beauvais had a tense moment with actress Leslie Bibb during an episode of "Watch What Happens Live" aired on March 18. The two were discussing a recent comment made by Sutton Stracke about Beauvais' wallet size compared to a fellow cast member, Dorit Kemsley. Host Andy Cohen indicated that Beauvais did not seem bothered by Stracke's comment. Bibb agreed loudly while moving closer to Beauvais, prompting Beauvais to tell her, “Girl, back up!” Beauvais insisted she was indeed upset by Stracke's remark. After Beauvais expressed her feelings, Bibb leaned in even closer, poking her finger in Beauvais' face, asking why she didn’t respond. Beauvais humorously replied, “Oh, my God. Who are you? Dorit?!” Their interaction was marked by humor but also a clear tension. Viewers quickly stepped in to defend Beauvais on social media. Many criticized Bibb for being overly aggressive and invading Beauvais' personal space. One viewer remarked that Bibb was "sooo extra" and seeking attention. Others noted that Bibb’s behavior was reminiscent of her character in "The White Lotus," which was not seen as a compliment. Overall, reactions suggested that viewers found Bibb's energy towards Beauvais to be unpleasant. "Watch What Happens Live" airs on Bravo and is available to stream the next day on Peacock.
