Boz Saint John reacted to an accusation that she’s “muscle” for “problematic cast members” on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The star also praised Garcelle Beauvais amid her exit from the show, and she hinted at being in the “hot seat” on Watch What Happens Live and the reunion.
Earlier this week, Garcelle revealed that she was quitting the show. She seemingly quit after a tense reunion in which castmates challenged her. On a recent episode of WWHL, Boz shaded the way Garcelle quit. Throughout the season, Boz has defended her friend Dorit Kemsley against Garcelle and Sutton Stracke, which has enraged many fans.
On Instagram, via @bravosnarkside, a fan criticized Boz, saying, “It’s going to be epic when they all turn on you next. I was hoping you were smarter than what you’ve shown on the show, becoming the ‘muscle’ for problematic cast members looking to deflect from their own bad behavior. Good luck to you!”
Boz then clapped back in a comment, “Sweetheart, I promise you that I didn’t make it to FOUR C- Suite offices without understanding how to hold my own. And that was without cameras and without people cheering me on. And yet, I survived, thrived and look good doing it- with accolades to boot. So watch me work.”

In a March 26 post, Boz praised Garcelle’s time on the show.
“To Garcelle, For your pioneering, bravery, and grace in 5 seasons of RHOBH … well done. I wish we’d had more time together on this platform to continue showing the world that both of us can exist in the same space with different offerings and different opinions (and besties!), but still find a way to resolve our differences without tearing the world apart,” she said on Instagram. “And that we’re able to shine bright together and individually too.”
“You are leaving on your terms, and while I’m disappointed by your exit, it is commendable,” she went on. “I’m wishing you even greater success. ONWARD! With respect always, Boz.”

Boz wrote in the caption: “There’s an African proverb which says ‘a single bracelet does not jingle.’ I’ve taken that saying to heart in this season of filming #RHOBH, in knowing that the power of the platform comes from the ensemble and not an individual… and yet, we can each be different and celebrated for our distinction.”
“It was an honor to be asked to be on @bravotv @bravowwhl by @bravoandy on the finale episode of Season 14… but it was a hot seat for sure!” she continued. “And believe me, our reunion is even hotter… and there’s a whole helluva a lot of jingling … Lawdhavmercy … so tune in because there’s a lot to learn for context on everythaaaaang!”
Despite Boz’s post, she was met with some criticism in her comments by fans who felt she shaded Garcelle during her WWHL appearance this week with co-star Erika Jayne after the two had an awkward silence when asked about Garcelle’s exit.
“So disappointed in you .. the thing is no one was asking you to be besties with Garcelle… the problem is you had no pressing issues with Garcelle on the show and she had none with you and yet you chose the side of a woman who has shown many many macro and micro aggressions towards Garcelle and another one who did so towards a child … it’s pathetic and sad to watch,” wrote one fan.
Another fan added, “So why was it so difficult to say those exact same words on the post when you were asked about Garcelle’s exit on WWHL? It’s quite strange but your words and actions don’t match and sadly we will believe the actions over the words. Best of luck to you and your besties.”
“Erika shading Garcelle’s beach house was disappointing. The blaccent and Boz with the sound effects was just cringe,” added another viewer.
