Sutton Stracke addressed where she stands with Garcelle Beauvais and Avi Gabay after their falling out, and reacted to Erika Jayne’s “box” diss. She also clapped back at the claim that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast was unfriendly at BravoCon, as she shared more details about her shocking home invasion.
At last year’s reunion, Garcelle refused to join the group in a cast photo – and later suggested that her good friend Sutton didn’t defend her. Garcelle soon decided to leave the show (and her friendship with Sutton). Not long after, Sutton parted ways with her longtime assistant Avi, though the reason is unclear. Recently, Garcelle and Avi were spotted hanging out together in photos.
“Has Avi or Garcelle reached out since the season premiere?” reporter Danny Murphy asked Sutton on Virtual Reali-Tea.
“No,” Sutton answered. “I think with both of those relationships, there was a lot of healing that happened for me with Garcelle … It’s just different. My life is different now, it’s in a different place … I think you have to find some peace in that kind of … a relationship split like that.”
Sutton then reacted to Erika’s claim in the season premiere that Sutton looks like a “box.”
“It stung, but I let it go,” she said. “Maybe we’ll revisit it, you know, but it’s going to be interesting to watch Erika and I grow together as friends … I think it’s going to be good.”
In an interview for Us Weekly, Sutton also reacted to Heather Gay (Real Housewives of Salt Lake City) and Below Deck’s Kate Chastain’s allegation that the cast of RHOBH wasn’t friendly at BravoCon.
“I saw Kate briefly going, but for Heather Gay, I didn’t see her,” said Sutton. “I had sent her, like, a text or message about a month ago. And then I’m friends with Meredith [Marks] on Salt Lake and Mary [Cosby] and Angie [Katsanevas], and I went out for dinner the last night of BravoCon. So I don’t know, I’m not quite sure what they’re referring to.”
Sutton also reacted to Garcelle’s claim that she would consider returning to RHOBH if Erika left.
“I thought that was so interesting for her to say, because I’m like, shouldn’t it be me that you don’t want on the show?” Sutton quipped. “But I don’t know.”
As for Garcelle’s recent photos with Avi, Sutton expressed, “I didn’t even see it when it came out. Jennifer Tilly showed me … So, you know, that’s their business. If they want to be friends and go to the premiere and go to parties together, then, you know, good. Have at it.”
But Sutton didn’t seem to have many regrets concerning the reunion.
“I had a lot on my plate going into that reunion, on my own plate,” she stated, “and I had to put my oxygen mask on first.”
Speaking to ABC News’ Nightline, Sutton addressed the burglary at her home during BravoCon.
“It feels strange to know that there were three men in my house in my room going through my drawers,” explained Sutton, who shared that she lost more than $1 million in luxury handbags and jewelry. “Those are…gonna be [family] heirlooms … Not to mention also this strange sense of somebody was in here.”
According to Sutton, the police knew the home had been robbed, as the front door was open the next morning when her dog walker came to the house.
“My big kitchen window was shattered everywhere,” she said, via Parade. “I never conjured the idea that somebody was watching this show to break into my house … Maybe it was because I’m on this television show. But I have to remember that my next-door neighbor was broken into a couple of years ago … I can’t allow myself to live in fear of being on this show and not letting our viewers experience things in its most authentic, truest form.”
