Is Andy Cohen playing favorites? 'RHOBH' fans fume he's invested in Lisa Rinna's trash can over Garcelle Beauvais' book

'#RHOBH @Andy joking about how rinna didn’t recycle Garcelle’s book really pissed me off tonight,' wrote a fan

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: The Season 12 reunion of 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' is turning out to be way more dramatic than what fans ever expected. While Kathy Hilton is yet to make her appearance and confront Lisa Rinna for being the "biggest bully in Hollywood". in the meanwhile, fans believe that Andy Cohen is playing favorites during the reunion. When the topic of Garcelle Beauvais' latest book release 'Love Me as I Am' popped up, the discussion inevitably turned to the controversial Instagram post made by Erika Jayne featuring Garcelle's book in the trash.

Since Erika posted the picture from her social media account, everybody automatically assumed that it was the 'Pretty Mess' singer who threw her co-star's book in the garbage can. But as it turns out, it was actually Lisa Rinna. During the reunion, Rinna admitted that she was the one who threw the book in the bin as she was angry with Garcelle for mentioning her daughter Amelia Hamlin in the book. Garcelle chimed in and clarified that she didn't actually state anything negative about Amelia but just recounted the conversation she had with Rinna about the young model's body image issues. Garcelle also revealed that immediately after that picture was posted on social media, Rinna's lawyer reached out to her managed and asked for the excerpts referencing Rinna and her daughter to be removed from the book. Garcelle reportedly agreed to it and printed a second edition of the book without those excerpts. Considering how Rinna made a huge fuss over Kathy Hilton's lawyers allegedly issuing cease and desist to everybody from speaking about the Aspen trip, we assumed Andy would devlve more into the lawyers being dragged into it. But instead Andy completely disregarded Rinna's behavior towards Garcelle and instead focussed on Rinna's trash can, more specifically the presence of an old telephone in the bin and the apparent lack of recycling.
