RHOBH's Sutton Stracke set the record straight on what "truly surprised" her from Season 14.
Sutton Stracke's friendship with Garcelle Beauvais may have taken a major hit after The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14, but there are some things that The Sutton Concept owner wants to clear up.
After sharing a photo of her spending time in New York City with her son, James Stracke, on Instagram, Sutton went to the comments section to defend herself against accusations that she was not a good friend to Garcelle.
One commenter wondered why Sutton said her "unexpected surprise" of the season was making headway with Erika Jayne, when Garcelle said that hers was getting to see Sutton bond with her mom, Reba.
"No. I said it was the biggest surprise," Sutton explained about her comment about Erika. "Truly surprised that we weren't at our throats for once."
Another Instagram user pointed out that Sutton seemed to be more interested in Kyle and her reactions when the two went with Garcelle to visit Sutton's mom in Augusta, Georgia.
"Garcelle finally woke up and realized her 'friend' wasn't really her ally when she needed her to be. If you go back and watch them in Sutton's childhood home, Sutton only looks at and addresses Kyle when she is telling the story of her father's suicide," the user wrote. "She only wants Kyle's approval and support. I could see how hurt Garcelle became after that trip."
"Untrue," Sutton simply replied.

After Part 3 of the Season 14 reunion aired on April 15, Garcelle seemingly unfollowed all of her former castmates, including Sutton and Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, and Bozoma Saint John. (She still follows friends Jennifer Tilly and Kathy Hilton).
Sutton released a statement about the social media move to Page Six. "I can only imagine that she needs a clean break right now,' the mom of three said, referring to Garcelle's decision to leave RHOBH following Season 14. "I love her and am giving her the space she needs."
She added, "I know that she is going to move through this next chapter with grace and success."
