Garcelle Beauvais Speaks Out After Swatting Hoax at Los Angeles Home

Police deemed the 911 claim a hoax following a response that found no gunman.

Overview

  • An anonymous caller pretended to be Beauvais’ ex and claimed he was at her home with a shotgun, prompting a heavy police response.
  • Officers arrived in force and, finding no active threat, determined the incident was a swatting prank.
  • Garcelle Beauvais said she was home alone, described the experience as frightening, and expressed gratitude that her family was not there.
  • The weekend incident follows a separate swatting episode she previously recounted at her beach house in 2025, when FBI vehicles responded.
  • The Department of Homeland Security notes swatting is a criminal false report that can carry federal and state charges with possible prison time or major fines.
