Sutton Stracke UNFOLLOWS Garcelle Beauvais and Says She Got a NEW Replacement Friend!
Did Sutton Stracke just throw shade at Garcelle Beauvais by flaunting her new “replacement” friend online?
Just months after tensions flared during the Season 14 reunion, Sutton, 53, and Garcelle, 58, are once again stirring up speculation about the state of their friendship. Fans noticed the two had unfollowed each other on Instagram, prompting rumors that their off-screen fallout may be far from resolved.
The once-tight pair had formed a genuine bond in earlier seasons, but things shifted dramatically during the most recent reunion. Garcelle felt Sutton failed to support her during a tense exchange with Kyle Richards, particularly when she questioned Kyle’s close friendship with country singer Morgan Wade. That moment caused Garcelle to unfollow Sutton and other castmates shortly after the taping, making it clear she needed space.
While Sutton later expressed remorse and publicly apologized, it seems the damage may have already been done. Though the two briefly re-followed one another in the months after the reunion, their latest social media activity suggests their friendship may still be on ice.
Fueling the fan chatter, Sutton recently shared a photo with longtime friend Ferneasa Cutno. “Loved every second with [Ferneasa Cutno],” she captioned the pic. “Friends since we were 21, and we’ve been friends throughout: you name it! Dance Buddies forever.”
The post drew immediate attention from fans, some of whom interpreted the timing as shade toward Garcelle. One user asked, “Is this Garcelle’s replacement?” and Sutton replied bluntly, “yes. And do not be rude.”
The comment sparked a flurry of speculation, with some interpreting it as Sutton confirming she had moved on from Garcelle. Others defended her, suggesting she was merely affirming the length of her friendship with Ferneasa—not throwing shade.
Still, Garcelle has remained largely silent on the issue, choosing not to publicly respond to the post or the unfollowing. Garcelle Beauvais announced earlier this year that she’s officially stepping away from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to focus on her family and personal life. Since her exit, the former Bravo star has been quietly dating a successful CEO.
As filming for RHOBH Season 15 gets underway, the unresolved tension between Sutton and Garcelle is likely to become a focal point—if Sutton speaks on it. Bravo has yet to confirm the official cast lineup, but the next season is expected to premiere in late 2025 or early 2026.
