While on the "crazy yacht from hell," as Jennifer Tilly aptly described the group excursion in RHOBH Season 14, Episode 16, any semblance of smooth sailing in the group quickly fell to the wayside when Sutton once again brought up her apology to Dorit Kemsley from the night before for a comment she made about Dorit's finances.
Things quickly took a turn, and by the episode's end, Sutton needed to take a "breathing moment" away from her RHOBH castmates on the boat. However, in what she may have believed to be a private moment, a hot mic picked up her uncensored grievances.
"I hate these f–king bitches," Sutton said. "They're such f–king c–ts ...Such a f–king bitch."
So, how exactly did they get there? Read on for all the details.
Erika Jayne called out Sutton Stracke for a “pattern” of behavior
Though Sutton reiterated that she felt "terrible" about the wallet comment she made to Dorit at Caviar Kaspia in Episode 13, Erika Jayne, for one, wasn't ready to let her off the hook so easily for what she dubbed a "fake apology" and "fake sisterhood."
"I have noticed that you are very critical and sometimes very… not the most compassionate to women that are going through the worst time in their life," Erika told Sutton. "I felt it with myself, I watched you do it to Kyle [Richards], and I'm watching you do it to Dorit. You pose as a friend and then oftentimes work as an enemy."
Elaborating that she was "pointing out a pattern" of how Sutton has "treated people at their lowest point," Erika doubled down that she'd "been hard on" Dorit as she navigates her separation from estranged husband Paul "PK" Kemsley, and was "kicking a dog when she's at her lowest."
Though Erika insisted that she was referring specifically to the women in the group, Sutton interpreted it more generally as how she treats "women in the world" — something she took great exception to — causing the conversation to devolve further.
"What do y'all f–king want from me?" Sutton shouted. "Seriously. What do you f–king want from me? I am tired of it. I get blamed for everything. All you do is tell me what I do wrong constantly."

Sutton Stracke makes a bold statement about Dorit Kemsley friendship
Dorit and Kyle, who had been elsewhere on the yacht having their own conversation, rejoined the group when they heard the dust-up, and things went further south from there.
As Dorit began to question why Sutton didn’t want to be "picked on," but it was OK for her "to pick on" them, Sutton fired back, "I’m not picking on anyone!" Adding insult to injury, Sutton also mockingly feigned "an English accent," complete with over-the-top hand gestures, as she went toe-to-toe with Dorit.
When Dorit finally asked if she wanted "to move forward," Sutton replied, "No, I’m good right now. . . . I apologize and I meant my apology, but I wanna be on ice with you."
Adding that she also didn't want her RHOBH castmates to be "judge and jury" that she’s "this terrible person," Sutton continued, "This is not gonna be Sutton on trial at sea, ya know? We're not doing that."
The RHOBH cast reacted to Sutton’s meltdown
Even so, as Sutton took off to have her aforementioned hot mic moment, insisting she was not going to apologize or defend herself anymore, her RHOBH castmates reacted to the drama in their respective confessionals.
"As sad as it is, I’m not surprised," Dorit said. "You know why? Because her actions have been saying it all along. But, for the first time, her words and her actions match. And this is exactly why I didn't believe [her] apology last night. I knew it wasn't sincere, and this proves it."
Bozoma Saint John, for her part, had an opposite take. "This is really surprising to me," she shared in her interview. "I don't know Sutton in this way. She's lashing out. She is angry. I'm seeing a different side that I'm not sure I like."
While Kyle chimed in that "Sutton loves to start an issue and create a whole chaos and then run and act like she’s a victim," Erika opined, "I think Sutton is triggered because she knows I'm right."
Meanwhile, Garcelle Beauvais noted that she normally "would have something to say," and didn’t "like to see this pileup on Sutton." However, since Sutton didn’t have her back earlier in the episode during a conversation about Kyle's friendship with Morgan Wade, she wasn't going to "stick out [her] neck" for her this time.
In the end, Kathy Hilton may have said it best by stating the obvious: "The boat rides are, I don't know, they're not working. They're not working."
Don’t miss what else the ladies said about what it would take to heal the group, heading into the RHOBH Season 14 reunion.
