In Sutton Stracke’s mind, she has been a pretty good friend to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills group. And she has taken particular pride in her friendship with Garcelle Beauvais. Both have been joined at the hip and have become quite the dynamic duo. Season 14 showed Sutton helping drive a U-Haul to Oxnard and introducing her mother to Garcelle. While these gestures were nice, it doesn’t make Sutton the friend of the year. Especially when she more often than not left Garcelle out to dry. 
Garcelle Beauvais took accountability at the RHOBH reunion
The Coming to America actor made it clear she was not a happy camper during her time at the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion. Dorit Kemsley went in hard on Garcelle for her comments about the robbery that took place a few years ago. Fans will recall that Garcelle insinuated that the robbery might have been set up. Garcelle explained, “I do. I feel how I feel, what am I supposed to do? It’s just my instincts.” Dorit fired back, saying, “It’s based on nothing. There is no evidence or fact or any reason whatsoever for you to draw that conclusion, yet you can say it so casually, not considering once how that might make me, my husband, our family feel whatsoever about something as traumatic as that, Garcelle.”
However, Garcelle ended up apologizing and taking accountability for how her words hurt Dorit, unlike some other women who refused to apologize for anything the entire night. But Garcelle was upset, telling Sutton, “Can I go home? I thought Sutton was going to be in the hot seat, but I didn’t realize I was going to be in the hot seat. Jesus Christ, I can’t have an opinion, I can’t say how I feel, I just have to go along just to go along. Everybody can go f*ck themselves, I don’t care.”
Sutton Stracke failed to stand up for Garcelle Beauvais at the RHOBH reunion
Garcelle was hit from all angles when it came to her appearance on the RHOBH reunion. First, she had to deal with Erika Jayne, who noted she wished the mother of three was “more interesting.” Naturally, Garcelle was taken aback, telling EJ, “Well, that’s a sh*tty thing to say, Erika, that’s a sh*tty thing to say when I thought we were in a better place.” The tides turned as Kyle Richards then took issue with Garcelle. The OG wasn’t happy that Garcelle constantly called her out for not sharing more information about Morgan Wade or her separation from Mauricio Umansky.
Without any help from Sutton, Garcelle noted, “Last year, when Morgan was part of the show, we met her, and all of a sudden, this year, you won’t bring her up. But there’s pictures in the press, and we’re just supposed to pretend it’s not happening. Is that reality?” Kyle insisted that the country singer didn’t sign up for the show. But Garcelle wasn’t content with the answer. Kyle revealed she came to both Garcelle and Sutton off-camera. Garcelle thought she might have an ally with Sutton, as she pointed out she called the off-camera request “a chess move” after Kyle left the room. However, Sutton quickly backed down, claiming she respected Kyle’s wishes all season, once again leaving Garcelle alone against the women.
Sutton Stracke said she “didn’t understand” Garcelle Beauvais leaving the RHOBH reunion
I can’t count the numerous times Garcelle has had Sutton’s back. One moment during the season, during the Fourth of July party, when Sutton was inconsolable after being poked at for having an alcoholic drink. Garcelle even came to her friend’s defense when her own mother, Reba, found it hard to say ‘I love you’ to Sutton. During the Season 13 reunion, when Sutton fainted, Garcelle left so she wouldn’t be alone at the hospital.
Without a doubt, Garcelle has been a loyal friend, but was rarely repaid with the same kindness. During the season, fans watched as Garcelle expressed frustration while on the cast trip with Sutton. The two had a tiny argument in the hotel room over Sutton’s lack of backbone. Garcelle was tired of her friend kowtowing to Kyle. And she started to realize she should stop standing up for the socialite. Sutton has failed at her friendship duties when it comes to Garcelle. Now it makes sense why rumors are going around town that the two are no longer on speaking terms.
