The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills may be wrapping up Season 14, but the drama is far from over—especially online. Just weeks after announcing her departure from the hit Bravo series, Garcelle Beauvais has unfollowed several of her former co-stars on Instagram, including someone fans never expected: her close friend and longtime ally, Sutton Stracke.
The move has left fans both surprised and intrigued, with many pointing to Garcelle’s emotional Season 14 reunion walk-off as a clear turning point in her relationships with the other women. While the unfollows came quietly, fans noticed quickly—and started connecting the dots.
Who Got the Unfollow?
Garcelle Beauvais, 58, is no longer following Sutton Stracke, Kyle Richards, Erika Girardi, Dorit Kemsley, or Bozoma Saint John. Her decision to unfollow such a wide swath of the cast has sparked questions about how deep the fallout truly runs.
Even more telling: Erika Girardi returned the favor and has since unfollowed Beauvais as well. The others—Stracke, Richards, Kemsley, and Saint John—are still following her, at least for now.
Interestingly, Garcelle still follows Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly, the latter of whom is a close personal friend and appeared on the show as a “friend of” the cast. That detail has only fueled speculation that Garcelle is drawing clear lines between those she feels supported her—and those she believes didn’t.
Sutton Stracke: The Most Surprising Unfollow
While a social media unfollow might seem small, Garcelle and Sutton’s bond made this one sting a little more for viewers. Since joining RHOBH in Season 10, the two developed a friendship that often felt like a rare safe space in a cast known for shifting alliances. They defended one another, supported each other through personal challenges, and even spent time together off-camera.
That’s exactly why fans were shocked to see Sutton on the unfollow list. But after watching the Season 14 reunion, many admitted they understood.
During the reunion, Garcelle opened up about feeling isolated and betrayed by her castmates. She ultimately refused to take part in the traditional group photo and exited the stage in tears, telling producers:“Everybody jumped at me and I felt like I was on an island by myself. I can’t be friends with people like that, I can’t trust them.”
Viewers noticed that Sutton—usually a vocal supporter of Garcelle—was unusually quiet during the tense reunion moments. While she didn’t directly attack Garcelle, she also didn’t step in to defend her. For fans, that silence may have said it all.
Drawing Boundaries After Bravo
While Garcelle hasn’t made a public statement about her social media activity, the unfollows appear to be her way of setting boundaries after five dramatic seasons on RHOBH. She’s spoken openly about wanting to focus on family and other projects, and this may be part of clearing space for that fresh start.
Still, with the internet keeping close watch on every follow, unfollow, like, and comment, fans are hoping to hear more—whether it’s a reconciliation with Sutton or further confirmation that those bonds have been broken for good.
For now, one thing is clear: Garcelle may be done with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but the fallout from her departure is still playing out, one unfollow at a time.
