Sutton Stracke discusses possible issues in friendship with ‘RHOBH’ co-star Garcelle Beauvais in an Interview

The chatter surrounding Stracke’s friendship with Beauvais began after the latter announced her departure from the series in March 2025.

During the three-part reunion, Stracke faced criticism from Bravo fans for not supporting Garcelle Beauvais and clashing with other cast members.

Stracke recently discussed her friendship with Beauvais after Beauvais left the “RHOBH” reunion set during the final part that aired on April 15.

Following that, Beauvais made another shocking move when she unfollowed the rest of her ex-castmates, excluding Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly.

Stracke shared with Page Six, “Garcelle has decided to unfollow all the ‘Housewives.’ I assume she needs some space right now, and I respect that decision. I care about her and want to give her the time she needs.”

She continued, “I know that she is going to move through this next chapter with grace and success.”

Stracke and Beauvais first joined the cast during season 10, which aired in 2020. After they both faced heat from some of the other ladies, they bonded over their experience and became one of the most loyal duos in “Real Housewives” history.

“In the last year, Sutton and I have spent a lot of time together,” Beauvais said during a previous interview about their friendship. “She doesn’t seem like she’s holding anything back.”

However, viewers began to notice some tension in their relationship at the end of season 14, when the ladies visited St. Lucia for their final cast trip. In her confessional interview, Beauvais shared she was disappointed that Stracke didn’t have her back during a heated moment she had with Kyle Richards and the other ladies.

During the final part of the reunion, Beauvais stormed off the set and refused to take part in the final cast picture.

“I’m out,” she said before stepping off the stage. “I’m not. I’m not. Nope, I’m not doing it.”

Earlier in the program, Beauvais told host Andy Cohen that she was upset with how she was treated at the beginning of filming the sit-down special.

“I’m really pissed right now,” she said. “I’m pissed about all of it, honestly. All of it. Since I’ve sat here on this couch, so, I don’t want to answer any more questions, honestly.”

The “Coming to America” actor went on to say she feels as though the other ladies don’t show her enough grace, even when she takes accountability for her behavior that may have hurt someone in the group.

“I stand by the things that I say, and even though I’ve taken accountability for them, it’s not accepted,” she said.

Later, in her dressing room, Beauvais shared more about her feelings and said she was “sick” of the way her castmates treat her.

“They’re all f-cking a—holes. No one said, ‘Oh, I understand what you’re saying.’ No one said anything, and the fact that I owned how I felt about [Dorit Kemsley’s] situation with [her home invasion],” she said, referring to the criticism she faced from others for seemingly implying Kemsley’s 2021 home robbery was staged. “I’m always honest.”

Beauvais continued, “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. I don’t trust them, and they obviously don’t like me.”

In her exit video, which she shared on Instagram in late March 2025, Beauvais told her fans that she’d decided to leave the series before calling it a “wild ride.”

She also cited her teenage sons, Jax and Jaid, as a reason for her departure.
