I see a lot of people upset with Garcelle after the recent episode of #RHOBH Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on the matter and here’s mine: I know a lot of people are aware of the negative connotations when calling a black women “angry” or “aggressive” but a lot of people were confused about the word “attacked” and I can understand that. Housewives use the word “attacked” a lot. But in my opinion, it wasn’t just Dorit saying Garcelle “attacked” her… it was Dorit singling Garcelle out as the aggressor when it was Sutton who was getting loud and angry with Dorit… if anything, Dorit should have said Sutton attacked her. I don’t think in that moment Dorit had bad intentions. l think that she has unconscious bias. Does she automatically think that if a black woman calls her out or disagrees with her that she is being attacked? But even if you didn’t think that was unconscious, Karen behaviour from Dorit… it was her social media posts months after the episode was filmed that she decided to write those ignorant captions…after saying in her confessional that she is going to listen and learn. To me that was the most offensive part and done purposefully. Garcelle said Dorit lived in a privileged bubble and Dorit double downed on it. Also, I always stop and think about Dorit’s past behaviour towards Garcelle and maybe if those incidents didn’t occur, Garcelle wouldn’t feel the way she does about Dorit and get triggered by her. Example 1 Season 11 reunion: Dorit screamed at Garcelle at the reunion: “Let me finish, Garcelle!” Garcelle remained calm and I remember Kyle gesturing to Dorit to bring it down. Has Dorit yelled at other cast members when they interrupt her? I don’t think so. Example 2 Season 11 EP 14: Dorit calls Garcelle a bully. Has Dorit called Lisa Rinna or Erika a bully? I don’t think so. Example 3 Season 11: When Dorit was talking about all the multicultural people who work for her. Garcelle wondered if brown people are only help at Dorit’s house and Dorit said no and mentioned that her moms best friend is black. In conclusion and in my opinion, Garcelle was NOT “attacking” Dorit. Garcelle simply stated that she thought Dorit was trying to embarrass Sutton. Garcelle didn’t scream or yell or act in anyway that was inappropriate. And let’s be real, Erika is the biggest aggressor in the group… “do you want to get sued?” “OR WHAT? *hiss*” Erika got it right last episode. If you still don’t get it and won’t listen to Garcelle rewatch the episode and listen to Erika. In fairness to Dorit, she does seem open to having a conversation, but Garcelle is not open at the moment and that is completely fair because it’s not Garcelle’s job to educate Dorit. *This is my opinion on it. I welcome everyone else’s opinions, but please do it respectfully, if there are comments that I feel are just unnecessarily rude and ignorant I will for once, block. #RHOBH
