Garcelle Beauvais appeared on Sherri Shepherd‘s talk show on Tuesday, where she shared her thoughts on Lisa Rinna‘s exit from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Amid production on the series’ upcoming 13th season, Garcelle offered a shady response to Lisa’s departure before noting that she and Sutton Stracke are the “fan favorites,” offering an update on where she stands with Erika Jayne, and dishing on her new Lifetime movie, Black Girl Missing.

“I’m good. I’m so good,” Garcelle said on the February 28 episode of Sherri when asked about Lisa leaving the show.

“You know what? Listen. I’m gonna give her credit. She definitely came on the show and made her mark. But now it’s time for new. It’s time for new,” Garcelle continued.

Then, when Sherri mentioned that Lisa had said her absence would mean Garcelle will have to “show up and work,” Garcelle quickly clapped back.

“B-tch, I’ve been showing up!” she exclaimed. “I’ve been showing up. That’s why me and Sutton are considered the favorites.”

According to Garcelle, she and her RHOBH castmates are “gonna have fun” without Lisa — even her and Erika, at least potentially.

“We side-eyed each other at BravoCon,” Garcelle recalled, saying that season 13 is a “new season.”

“We’re going into this new season, like trying to be open, and we’ll see where we’re going,” Garcelle explained, adding that she and her co-stars have only been in production for “a week.”

Also on Sherri, Garcelle discussed Black Girl Missing, which sees her acting as the mother of a missing girl.

“This movie came to me, one of the producers, Jason Egenberg, and Kale Futterman, pitched me the idea and halfway through, I said, ‘Let’s do it,’ and we took it to Lifetime and Lifetime got it right away and they said, ‘Let’s make this movie. How quickly can we do this?’” she revealed.

As Garcelle explained, the film has a very important message about equality.

“So many times, black and brown women and men go missing and nobody cares. Media doesn’t give us the attention, the police say we’re either runways or we become the perpetrator, they’re like, ‘Did you do drugs? Did you do this?’ And it’s like, ‘Wait a minute. We’re the victims.’ So it was really important for me to make this movie and get it out there,” she stated. “I’m really, really proud of it. I hope people go out and see it.”

“Just think about it, you and I have a platform. You and I are known. So our kids would get attention but so many people don’t get that,” she continued.

Garcelle, who partnered with Black and Missing Foundation, an organization that provides outlets for families and helps with the search, told Sherri that as a mom of three children, the production “hit home hard.”

“That’s just the thing: Anyone can go missing,” she explained.

Also during the interview, Garcelle expressed gratitude for her “second act” in Hollywood.

“When I started in this industry, they said, ‘Over 40 you’re done. You’re a has-been. You’re not gonna work anymore.’ But here we are, shining strong,” she declared.

Black Girl Missing airs this Saturday on Lifetime.
