'RHOBH' Star Garcelle Beauvais To Headline Lifetime Film 'Black Girl Missing'

Garcelle Beauvais will be back on the small screen despite taking a break from her reality TV engagements.

On Wednesday, Deadline exclusively reported that the 56-year-old actress will be starring in the upcoming made-for-TV Lifetime film "Black Girl Missing."

The project is part of Lifetime's Stop Violence Against Women campaign. Aside from headlining the film, Beauvais is reportedly deeply involved since she is also executive producing the movie, which will feature a new PSA for Black and Missing Foundation.

The movie, which is scheduled to premiere on March 4, is reportedly inspired by true stories of missing women of color.

Beauvais plays a mother named Cheryl whose daughter Lauren (played by Iyana Halley) goes missing. Desperate to find her daughter, Cheryl turns to authorities and the media, but both dismiss her concerns and instead focus on a missing white girl.

Since authorities are reluctant to help look for her daughter, Cheryl and her other daughter Marley (Taylor Mosby) will enlist the help of amateur internet sleuths to find Lauren.

Based on the synopsis, "Black Girl Missing" will tackle the disparity in how missing people of color cases are addressed, and how the media and law enforcement are reluctant to take on such cases.

Black and Missing Foundation co-founders Derrica and Natalie Wilson serve as consultants for the film. The nonprofit aims to bring awareness to issues involving missing persons of color, as stated on the organization's website.

The news of Beauvais' lead role in the film came a few months after she announced that she would be taking a break from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

"Guys, it's been a hell of a season [on 'RHOBH']. I'm taking a mental break from it! When there's something important to talk about, I'll talk about it," she wrote on Twitter in November 2022.

Weeks before her announcement, Andy Cohen issued an apology to her for displaying insensitivity toward her during the "RHOBH" Season 12 reunion.

At the reunion, Beauvais' co-star Lisa Rinna confessed to tossing her memoir, "Love Me as I Am," in the trash. However, Cohen did not address the issue and simply diverted the topic.

"I need to really sincerely apologize not only for diverting the topic but for not returning — even worse — to the serious conversation that was at hand. I have deep admiration for Garcelle," Cohen said on SiriusXM's "Radio Andy" last October.
