Former “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Monica Garcia reacted to comments made by “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” personality Sutton Stracke.
Us Weekly reported that Garcia took to her Instagram account to share her thoughts about Stracke revealing she is “scared of her.” Stracke made the comment while participating in a “Real Housewives” guessing game in an October 2024 MTV UK interview, alongside Garcia’s former RHOSLC castmate Lisa Barlow.
In her November 3 Instagram post, Garcia wrote that she took issue with Strack saying that she felt “like [Garcia] works at a nail salon” because she looks “like she knows everything.”
“The level of absolute FILTH this video has me completely astounded. ‘She looks like she works at a nail salon.’ @suttonstracke I am shocked. Shocked that you would say something like this, especially since we’ve met a couple times and had such nice conversations and I’ve always said how kind you were to me,” wrote Garcia in her Instagram post.
In addition, the former RHOSLC star noted that during the MTV UK game, Stracke was trying to get Barlow to say Garcia’s name. While giving her hints, Stracke told Barlow she “should be scared of her.” When Barlow guessed RHOSLC alum Jen Shah, who is currently in prison for wire fraud, Stracke replied, “Why would you be scared of Jen?”
“I am SHOCKED at this conversation as a whole, but to also say ‘Why would you be scared of Jen [Shah]??’ You women are out of control and this is nasty for so many reasons,” wrote Garcia in her post.
Garcia also noted that Barlow told Stracke a nail salon worker gave her information about the RHOSLC cast.
“Also, I haven’t gone to that nail girl since she started doing Angie [Katsanevas] back at the beginning of season 4. Once again with your lies, Lisa. Absolute TRASH,” continued Garcia in her Instagram post.

Monica Garcia Left RHOSLC After 1 Season
Garcia began starring in RHOSLC during its 4th season, which premiered in 2023. During the season 4 finale, Heather Gay revealed to her castmates that Garcia had been one of the content creators of the RHOSLC Instagram gossip page “Reality Von (Tea)se.” Garcia’s RHOSLC contract was not renewed following season 4.
While speaking to ABC4 in September 2024, Garcia said she was not asked to continue filming the series because the RHOSLC cast no longer wanted her as a castmate.
Garcia also told ABC4 the “Reality Von (Tea)se” page was “a dumb decision.”
“But did it also get me to where I’m at? Sure … I didn’t think. At the time, it was acting out on all emotions,” said Garcia during the interview.

Garcia also said she had difficulty as she was the “only new girl” in RHOSLC season 4. She said the situation was “brutal.”
“That wouldn’t be easy for anyone. You know what I mean? It was definitely an uphill battle. For sure,” said Garcia.
