There’s a new take on the fractured friendship between Sutton Stracke and Garcelle Beauvais on the upcoming 15th season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
The Season 15 trailer dropped on November 4, and all indications show there might be a more concrete explanation behind the former besties’ Season 14 fallout. RHOBH friend Jennifer Tilly — whom Sutton brought into the group last season — is seen telling the returning Georgia-raised Housewife, “I’m not even talking about that,” although the subject matter at the group dinner remains unclear.
What is clear, however, is when Sutton cuts Jennifer off, demanding, “Please, stop.”
“That’s why Garcelle left,” Jennifer responds as she’s seen walking away from the tension. “Because it’s always all about Sutton.”
In case you need a refresher, Jennifer is referring to Garcelle’s dramatic exit from the series after the Season 14 reunion, which ended with her walking away from production and her castmates.

Why did Garcelle Beauvais leave RHOBH?
Garcelle announced her exit in a March Instagram video, stating, “I’ve decided to leave Beverly Hills. It’s been a wild ride — I mean, some amazing things have happened, and some hard things have also happened — but it’s been a ride nevertheless.”
At the time, she cited her twin sons, Jax and Jaid Nilon, entering their final year of high school and multiple TV production projects in the works as reasons behind her decision. However, in an October interview with Variety, Garcelle offered more about her decision to storm off once the reunion wrapped and refuse participation in the group photo: “There was a moment where I felt like I no longer belonged here. I no longer fit in here. It was definitely a moment of like, ‘This is not for me.’ It just didn’t feel right.”
It didn’t go unnoticed that Garcelle unfollowed the Season 14 cast on social media around the time of her exit — Sutton included — except for Jennifer and Kathy Hilton.

In May, Sutton apologized for being the one who apparently hurt Garcelle the most at the reunion, as pointed out on Jeff Lewis Live. “I’m sorry for that,” Sutton said. “I would never want to hurt Garcelle intentionally, so I’m sorry she feels that way, and I’m sorry it went down like that.”
She agreed to give Garcelle her space for the time being.
“I hope that I can rectify things later,” Sutton continued. “Sometimes, I think when you’re really close with someone, and you get hurt in the relationship, sometimes you need some time away to heal. I’m hoping that we can rectify and fix everything.”
Stay tuned for more to come with the “fresh starts” and “major fallouts” expected on the upcoming RHOBH season.
