The dust hasn’t settled since the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion aired, and Sutton Stracke is right at the center of the storm. Fans are not holding back after watching how she interacted—or didn’t—with her longtime friend Garcelle Beauvais during the emotional reunion.
Viewers took to social media to call out Sutton’s behavior, especially in contrast to how Garcelle showed her support. One viral post captured the mood perfectly:
“@suttonstracke So, let me get this right. W Your best friend @garcelle expressed how she felt alone and unsupported and was hurt. When it came time to all one by one share what surprised you about the season, Garcelle chose to uplift you and your relationship with your mom. And instead of taking this opportunity to uplift her back when she’s down, you decided to choose to encourage and connect with Erika, the woman that put you down so badly all season. Wow.”
Sutton, in response, defended her actions, replying:
“no. I said it was the biggest surprise. Truly surprised that we weren’t at our throats for once.”
That response, however, didn’t sit well with many. Another fan pointed to a moment from earlier in the season as evidence of Sutton’s alleged emotional distance from Garcelle:
“Garcelle finally woke up and realized her ‘friend’ wasn’t really her ally when she needed her to be. If you go back and watch them in Sutton’s childhood home, Sutton only looks at and addresses Kyle when she is telling the story of her father’s suicide. She only wants Kyle’s approval and support. I could see how hurt Garcelle became after that trip.”
Sutton’s rebuttal? A curt:
“untrue.”
Perhaps the clearest signal of the fallout came after the reunion aired, when Garcelle Beauvais officially unfollowed Sutton on Instagram—a subtle but unmistakable move that speaks volumes in the world of reality TV.
Whether this friendship is beyond repair remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure: fans are watching closely, and Sutton has some serious damage control to do.
