Garcelle Beauvais Says Son Jax Will Not Appear In ‘RHOBH’ Season 14 After “Negative” Experience
Garcelle Beauvais is teasing the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, revealing her son Jax will not appear on the show.
Beauvais’ teenage son, Jax Joseph Nilon, asked his mom not to film for Season 14 of the Bravo reality series in 2022 following the negativity he received from social media trolls.

“Right before this season, Jax said to me, ‘Mom, I can’t do it anymore. It was too negative for me,'” Beauvais said on GMA and ABC Audio’s Pop Culture Moms podcast. “And I respected that. So he’s not on this season at all. Actually, I haven’t said it to many people, so you’re the first really hearing it.”
Jax became a storyline on the show in Season 12 when he was 14, and RHOBH co-star Erika Jayne cursed at him during filming. Jayne eventually apologized to Jax, and both had a conversation on camera to squash things.

“That was also one of the hardest things because they didn’t sign up for it,” Beauvais said. “Watching the show in the past, I always felt like the kids were in the background. You saw them at the house, they weren’t subjected to any negativity. So I thought, ‘We can do this.’ And then that happened with Jax.”
She continued, “It blew my mind, because nobody deserves it. Nobody’s kids deserve it.”
Beauvais is also mom to Jaid Thomas Nilon and Oliver Saunders, who also appear on RHOBH.
