Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke have reportedly been estranged since filming the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 reunion special at the end of last month, and Kyle Richards may be to blame.
According to a new report, which comes as Garcelle, 58, continues to ignore a friendly post shared by Sutton, 53, in regard to her exit from the show, Garcelle left the taping unhappy with the cast, including Sutton, who refused to back her up in her efforts to get Kyle, 56, to speak openly about the nature of her relationship with Morgan Wade, 30.
“Garcelle was livid at the reunion. She stormed off set and refused to take a photo with the cast,” an insider revealed to Parade on March 28. “She was very upset at Sutton for not defending her and sort of backing down against Kyle [Richards] when it comes to the situation with Morgan [Wade]. Garcelle felt totally blindsided by Sutton. They did not speak after the reunion.”
“Sutton and Garcelle are still not speaking, but Sutton and Kyle are,” the insider added.
As RHOBH fans may have seen, Garcelle mentioned romance rumors about Kyle and Morgan on the season 14 finale episode, which aired on Tuesday, prompting Kyle to tease, “Maybe I’ll have a great story to share with you guys,” as Kyle defended Sutton amid her feud with Dorit Kemsley, 48.
Meanwhile, rather than backing Garcelle, her closest friend on the show, Sutton was accused of continuing in her efforts to get closer to Kyle as her blind loyalty was called into question.
Prior to the episode airing, Garcelle, who stormed off set amid the reunion taping as she labeled her castmates “f*cking a**holes,” officially announced she was leaving RHOBH.
“One of the reasons why I’m leaving is my family, my boys. Their last year of high school is next year, and I want to be a part of that, and Jaid is starting a new career, and I want to be a part of that too. And secondly, I have the most exciting projects that I am developing, producing and acting in. I can’t tell you anything right now, but you’ll know soon,” she explained. “I just want to say thank you to Andy Cohen, to Bravo, NBCUniversal, Evolution, 32 Flavors, the producers, the crew and, of course, the ladies.”
Following the announcement, Sutton took to her Instagram page, where she posted an image of herself and Garcelle, saying they were “friends forever” and likening them to I Love Lucy‘s Lucy and Ethel.
Garcelle, despite having been on Instagram since, never “liked” or responded to Sutton’s post.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 reunion begins airing next Tuesday, April 1, at 8/7c on Bravo.
