RHOBH's Garcelle Beauvais took back a remark she made about Erika Jayne's Broadway career.
Erika Jayne just extended her second run as Roxie Hart in Broadway's Chicago, much to Garcelle Beauvais' apparent surprise.
News came out that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member added two more weeks to her Broadway stint on January 28, and Garcelle appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen later that night. During the episode, a fan asked Garcelle what her reaction to the news was, since she had previously said that Erika "wouldn't go back on Broadway again."
"Did I say that?" Garcelle responded, not remembering her past comment. "I'm eating my words."
Where do Garcelle Beauvais and Erika Jayne stand today?
After a few difficult seasons, Erika and Garcelle buried the hatchet in their friendship drama on on RHOBH Season 13. Their friendship is still on an upward trajectory today, as Garcelle attended Erika's divorce pizza party at Chuck E. Cheese on Season 14, Episode 7.
All the details on Erika Jayne's Broadway return
The diamond holder first took on the role of Roxie in January 2020, but her time in Chicago was cut short because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Erika returned to the stage to finish her contract on January 20, 2025. Chatting with The Daily Dish about her return in early January, Erika said, "It's nice."
"I think it's nice for everybody," she said. "I'm excited that I get to finish out. I did like, 80, or 77 [shows] and now I get to go in and finish out my contract so it's nice."
While she was initially slated to finish in Chicago on February 9, the mom of one will now be appearing in the show for another two weeks, through February 23.
"Erika Jayne will hang around Murderess Row a little longer," an Instagram post from Playbill read. "The multi-hyphenate performer has extended her run at [Chicago the Musical]..."
"IT’S TRUE! Extending by POPULAR DEMAND, you now have until February 23 to catch Erika Jayne shine as Roxie Hart," the official Chicago Instagram account stated.
When news of Erika's extension came out, her castmates, friends, and loved ones took to the comments section to celebrate the career success.
"MAJOR [star]," her longtime creative director and friend, Mikey Minden, wrote.
"Yessss!!!!" RHOBH's Dorit Kemsley shared, along with three clapping hand emojis.
Season 14 friend Jennifer Tilly commented, "Hooray!" while show alum (and Erika's podcast co-host) Teddi Mellencamp wrote, "So happy for you, it's everything you deserve."
E! News' Justin Sylvester also had a kind message for Erika. He wrote, "ICONIC!!!!!" and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City's Bronwyn Newport added two fire emojis as well.
