Sutton Stracke knows there are many questions surrounding her fallout with Garcelle Beauvais. But she, unfortunately, doesn’t have all the answers.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member addressed the drama in a December interview with The Daily Dish, just several weeks after Garcelle declared their friendship “completely over.”
“Yeah, it’s a lot of questions about Garcelle from cast members, and press, and my friends, and the world,” Sutton said. “I have been a little taken aback by it.”
Sutton Stracke says she’s tried to apologize to Garcelle Beauvais
Sutton said she has repeatedly reached out to Garcelle in an effort to apologize and to get a better understanding of what led to their fallout, but Garcelle was clearly uninterested in having that conversation.
“Well, I’ve told her a lot in text messages, including many apologies,” Sutton continued. “I just said, you know, ‘I’m just not sure for what, but help me understand what I’ve done in this friendship. So it’s a shame that we didn’t get to have a one-on-one conversation.”

Garcelle Beauvais explains why she ended her friendship with Sutton Stracke
Back in March, Garcelle announced she was leaving RHOBH after a five-season run. She last saw the cast at the Season 14 reunion special, in which she engaged in several heated exchanges before storming off stage and declaring she was “out.”
Garcelle addressed her exit during her October 23 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, explaining why she ultimately decided to cut ties with Sutton after the shocking reunion.
“Not only did she not have my back, she also, when she called me, never took accountability for it,” Garcelle told Andy Cohen. “That hurt my feelings a lot… We were really close. My kids would call her, you know? We were really close.”

Sutton confessed it was a bit difficult to go into Season 15 without her one-time BFF; however, she hoped the change would give her a “clean slate.”
“It took me a lot to get ready for this season, to feel confident and going in without Garcelle,” she told The Daily Dish, “but, also, in kind of wanting to kind of come in with a clean slate, which really meant for me having a clean heart and mind so that I could kind of take things in differently this season.”
