Instead, she’s focused on what brings her joy: meaningful engagements, philanthropic events, and platforms like QVC that celebrate women’s power at every age. *“I want to be able to do this,”* she said, gesturing to the event. *“I love being able to spend the time that I do. And we have a great time. And for me, it's fun.”* While the Beverly Hills cast currently has room for a new full-timer—after Garcelle Beauvais abruptly exited the show during the latest reunion—Hilton isn’t rushing to fill those stilettos. “I love and adore her,” Kathy Hilton said of Garcelle. *“I called her obviously right when I walked off the set from the reunion and talked to her. And then we ended up having dinner with a friend like two days later.”* ![Kathy Hilton Reveals Why She Won](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-22-at-8.49.37-AM.png) Kathy Hilton kept their conversation gentle. *“I tried to not bring up too much because I just want her to know that she's very loved and will be missed. And everybody was shocked.”* Fans were, too. Garcelle left just before a group photo and celebratory toast, later explaining on Instagram that she wanted more time for her kids and her film career. Even Kathy Hilton was caught off guard. *“I only came in at the tail end because I'm not a full-time housewife. So I'm just at the last three hours of the reunion. And I didn't see anything building up. I had no idea. So I was like, ‘oh my God.’”* When asked if she had any insight into Garcelle’s sudden exit, Kathy Hilton demurred: *“I haven't asked because I just don't want to push. We all can read all these things. But I think it's everybody just assuming this or that.”* As for who might replace Garcelle? Kathy believes no one truly can. “Truthfully … I don't think that any of the girls that have been on really can be replaced,” she said. *“Everybody's unusual and leaves their mark on Housewives.”* One name floating around? Actress Jennifer Tilly, who appeared as a “friend of” in the most recent season. But she’s not confirming anything just yet. *“I really did enjoy being a friend of this season,”* Tilly told *TooFab*. *“Because you can dip in and dip out. You're not too deep into the drama. But you know what? You never know. You never know…”* Back at QVC, Hilton was all about celebrating women over 50. *“I'm very, very proud to be an ambassador here at QVC,”* she said. *“I was with QVC years ago for four years and HSN for three. And it's certainly a lot of fun to be back. And in a way like never before.”* She added a final word of inspiration: *“To me, a woman really can even look more beautiful with age—if they take care of themselves!”*
