The drama between Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Sutton Stracke and Garcelle Beauvais has reached a boiling point, leaving fans reeling as the former besties unfollow each other on Instagram in a public display of their fractured friendship. What started as a fallout during the explosive season 14 reunion has now spiraled into a full-blown feud, with Sutton, 53, and Garcelle, 58, trading shade and sparking heated debates among their followers.

The rift began months ago when Garcelle found herself blindsided by Sutton’s lack of support during the tense RHOBH reunion. While the two appeared to patch things up temporarily—evidenced by their brief refollowing of each other on social media—the peace was short-lived. Screenshots shared by the popular Instagram account Bye Wig Hello Drama confirmed the bombshell news: Sutton and Garcelle have once again cut digital ties, with neither star following the other.

As if the unfollow wasn’t dramatic enough, Sutton poured fuel on the fire by posting a cozy photo with longtime friend Ferneasa Cutno, captioned, “Loved every second with [Ferneasa Cutno]. Friends since we were 21, and we’ve been friends throughout: you name it! Dance Buddies forever.” The timing of the post raised eyebrows, with fans quick to speculate that Sutton was flaunting a new “replacement” for Garcelle.

“Is this Garcelle’s replacement?” one fan boldly commented, noting the “interesting 21 years of friendship.” Sutton’s cryptic response—“Yes. And do not be rude”—ignited a firestorm of reactions. Some interpreted her “yes” as confirmation of replacing Garcelle, while others argued she was simply affirming her long-standing bond with Ferneasa. “She meant ‘yes’ to you questioning 21 [years] of friendship. If you don’t like Sutton, why are you here? Just to be a clown?” one defender clapped back.
But the backlash didn’t stop there. Critics accused Sutton of strategically posting the photo to shade Garcelle, with some even suggesting racial undertones in her choice of timing. “Read the room,” one commenter urged, while another demanded, “Take down the picture.” The controversy escalated as fans debated whether Sutton’s post was a calculated jab or an innocent celebration of friendship. “Are these comments necessary?!” one supporter fired back, decrying accusations that Sutton’s post was racially motivated. “So now we can’t have friends of the opposite race? As a Black woman with friends of every race, I am disgusted!” they added.

The drama harks back to the initial fallout earlier this year, when Sutton appeared on Jeff Lewis’ SiriusXM radio show and expressed regret over hurting Garcelle. “I would never want to hurt Garcelle intentionally, so I’m sorry that she feels [hurt], and I’m sorry that it went down like that,” Sutton shared, hinting at hope for reconciliation. “Sometimes when [you’re] really close with someone and you get hurt in the relationship, sometimes you need some time away to heal, and I’m hoping that we can rectify and fix everything.”
Yet, with the latest Instagram unfollow and Sutton’s provocative post, that hope seems further away than ever. As fans take sides and the shade continues to fly, one thing is clear: this RHOBH feud is far from over, and the Beverly Hills drama is serving up more tea than ever before. Will Sutton and Garcelle find their way back to friendship, or is this the end of their once-iconic bond? Only time—and perhaps another explosive reunion—will tell.
