*Garcelle Beauvais recently dished with Variety magazine’s After Show about her experience on Season 10 of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”
As reported by the New York Post, on Wednesday’s episode, the model and actress opened up about her how her fraught relationship with her father influenced her own parenting.
“I think that’s why it’s so important that my kids have their dads in their lives, first with my older son Oliver and my twins [Jax and Jaid],” says the “Going to Bed with Garcelle” podcast host. “I mean, there was no equation where they weren’t going to have their dad in their life.”
During the conversation with Variety, she also revealed that she has had lengthy talks with her three sons about how to interact with police. She recalled a specific moment when she was pulled over for making an illegal turn and her son Jax, 12, was in the car with her.

“I’m so grateful that he was in the backseat because he got to see my interaction. He got to see that my hands were at the wheel. He actually heard me say, ‘I’m reaching for my wallet,’” Beauvais recalls.
“The fact that I have to say, ‘I’m reaching for my wallet now’ — if I was with [a white girlfriend] and she was driving, she wouldn’t think to do that,” she adds.
Elsewhere in the discussion, Beauvais touched on pay quality in Hollywood.
“It’s all about being treated equally. I want to be promoted the same way. I want to be compensated the same way… I’ve been in Hollywood over 20 something years, which is a feat in itself to continue working and I’m so grateful. But I do feel that so many times, my white counterparts get paid 1,000% more than I do. I know it for sure, and that really sucks. We’re not valued as we should be. I just feel like it’s been happening for a long time, and now I’m not putting up with it. You don’t see my value you don’t get to have me in your project. Simple as that,” she says.
