Sutton Stracke is still reeling from the demise of her friendship with Garcelle Beauvais. After forming a strong friendship on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 10, things fell apart for the ladies at the Season 14 reunion.
Garcelle left the reunion stage early, and she later left the show and unfollowed all of her castmates on Instagram. Sutton reacted to the fallout from their friendship in an April 2025 chat with Us Weekly.
"I think we were all sort of in shock, but Garcelle is a very strong woman," the mom of three said about Garcelle's departure and subsequent social media moves. "And so she's going to make her decision and do what she's going to do. I just want her to live her best life and be happy."
Does Sutton Stracke think her friendship with Garcelle Beauvais can be repaired?
Though the ladies aren't in the best place at the moment, Sutton is optimistic that things will eventually work out between them.
"I am hopeful, but," Sutton said with a shrug to Us Weekly. She added, "I'm just hoping that Garcelle is good and happy and on the path that she wants to be on, which I know she is."
As viewers saw on Season 14, Garcelle didn't feel supported by her bestie when she asked Kyle Richards questions about the nature of her friendship with Morgan Wade.

Once Part 3 of the reunion aired on April 15, Garcelle unfollowed Sutton and fellow diamond holders Kyle, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, and Bozoma Saint John, though she does still follow friends Jennifer Tilly and Kathy Hilton.
In a statement to Page Six, Sutton said, "I can only imagine that she needs a clean break right now. I love her and am giving her the space she needs."
She continued, "I know that she is going to move through this next chapter with grace and success."
