In the wake of Sutton Stracke’s conflict with her longtime bestie Jennifer Tilly on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15, Kathy Hilton attempted to make a point about the importance of friendship — and was quickly shut down by Sutton.
“Let’s not go back to that,” Sutton remarked as she cut off Kathy mid-sentence during The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show.
Their clash came after Kathy brought back up a moment between her and Sutton during the Season 14 trip to St. Lucia, after Sutton was caught on a hot mic during a yacht trip ranting of her cast mates, “I hate these f—king bitches.”
“Do you remember when I said to you — and you got mad at me — but you were not in a good place,” Kathy recalled on the After Show, then continued, “When we were in St. Lucia, I said to [you and Jennifer], ‘Be careful, because I can see what a great relationship you have.’”

Kathy shared more of her Season 14 warning: “Don’t allow any outsiders to influence you, where you have a falling out, and it’s irreparable, you know?” Then, Kathy revealed Sutton’s response: “You were a little angry.”
Although Sutton tried to move the conversation along, Kathy continued, “My point was like, I did nothing but say something positive—“ That’s when Sutton jumped in again to end the conversation, replying, “That was weird. St. Lucia was weird for me, Kathy.” With a finality, she added, “Thank you. That’s good.”
Undeterred, Kathy added, “Well, but wait, that’s why I [visited your room], because I wanted to make it clear I love you.” But Sutton didn’t want to revisit the moment, retorting, “That was a bad day for me. In general.”
Why are Jennifer Tilly and Sutton Stracke fighting on RHOBH Season 15?
Jennifer and Sutton’s troubles date back to RHOBH Season 15, Episode 5, when Jennifer candidly shared her thoughts on Sutton with Kyle Richards while on the cast trip to Sedona, Arizona — and brought RHOBH alum Garcelle Beauvais into it.
“I do believe that’s one of the reasons why Garcelle left, because it’s always all about Sutton,” Jennifer declared during the Jan. 15 episode. “It’s not about anybody else…it’s just too much.”
Kyle then relayed Jennifer’s comments back to Sutton during RHOBH Season 15, Episode 6: “She’s like, ‘Well Sutton snapped at me, and I don’t need to be here.’ And she was saying that it’s always about you.” Kyle later added, “She said that she understands why Garcelle is not friends with you. And I was really surprised by that. She said, you know, ‘Sutton can be problematic.’”

Sutton didn’t mince words when she admitted on the Episode 6 After Show that watching Jennifer and Kyle’s conversation hurt her. “You said some pretty strong things that surprised me,” she pointed out to Jennifer.
Sutton revealed that she initially defended Jennifer after she first heard about her remarks. “The first thing I said to Kyle when she told me you had said this was, ‘Jennifer didn’t say that.’ It was just so out of character for you,” she added.
But Sutton also acknowledged that Jennifer’s comments were said after Sutton “snapped” at her over a dinner conversation.
“Whatever was said in Sedona, I know that it was not intentional, and I know that you don’t think of me as being a bad friend to really anybody,” Sutton told Jennifer on the After Show. “You know me, and you know who I am, and that was said in a quick moment because I did sting you and hurt your feelings. And I understand that.”

Jennifer revealed that she and Sutton are still friends. “You know, I love Sutton very much. That was the first dust up we’ve ever had..in 18 years,” she confessed on the After Show.
Sutton explained how she and Jennifer quickly resolved their tiff. “We just sat down, and we talked, and we cried…And it was so quick to solve and fix between one another, because we truly love each other and we are like sisters,” she told After Show producers. “And I just want that to be really understood.”
