“The Real” provides viewers exactly what it promises: a real approach to each episode’s subject matter. The show also aims to offer a diverse approach due to having several hosts on its panel. However, it’s precisely being real that gave Garcelle Beauvais some trouble on “The Real.”
“What’s tough is that we’re hired to give our point of view, and with cancel culture, you have to be careful,” she explained to The List. “But at the same time, this is why I’m hired, so you have to be brave and you have to put it out there. Hopefully, my opinion will start a conversation as opposed to just backlash because people don’t like what I said.”
Obviously, no one wants to be in hot water, but Beauvais reassured us that the show wasn’t all bad. “The best things that have come from it … is being able to be on this platform with women of color,” she said. “We’re talking to our community. We’re talking about different things that matter to us and things in general — pop culture, politics, everything.
In this way, “The Real” was a big cornerstone of love and culture for the Black community, and Beauvais being part of it was monumental. Now we’re just wondering what Beauvais’ beauty routine was for each episode — because she always looked stunning!
