AceShowbiz - Garcelle Beauvais has announced that her son Jax will not be featured on the upcoming 14th season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills". This decision comes after a barrage of hateful comments online and an on-camera altercation with Erika Jayne.
In an interview on "GMA and ABC Audio's Pop Culture Moms" podcast, Beauvais revealed that Jax had requested to be excluded from the show. "Right before this season, Jax said to me, 'Mom, I can't do it anymore. It was too negative for me,' " she explained. "And I respected that."
Jax first became a storyline on the show in season 12 when he was 14 years old. Jayne cursed at him during filming, leading to an on-camera apology and reconciliation. However, the incident and subsequent online backlash took a toll on Jax.
"It blew my mind, because nobody deserves it. Nobody's kids deserve it," Beauvais said. "I always leave it up to them every season, but when that happened with Jax, it was just horrible."
The actress emphasized her determination to protect her son from such negativity. "I thought, you know, he's doing this because of me and it's our family. And it was his first week of high school," she recalled.
Beauvais also mentioned that her other sons, Jaid and Oliver, will continue to appear on the show. "I actually haven't said it to many people, so you're the first really hearing it," she said regarding Jax's absence from the upcoming season.
