Garcelle has left the show. Will Sutton be ok without her?
Garcelle has left Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the building, literally. She walked off the set after the reunion and is done with the show. What will Sutton do without her?
Sutton Stracke and Garcelle Beauvais immediately connected when they joined the Bravo series. They formed what seemed like a real friendship, and both admitted it was partially due to being left out of the “inner circle”. Dorit, Kyle, Erika, and Lisa Rinna were a fierce foursome that was difficult to break into. Sutton can be difficult, but she became somewhat of a punching bag for the other women. They tended to go after her, but Garcelle always had her back. She was her fierce defender, and Sutton needed her in her corner.
Things changed up a bit this season. Rinna has been gone for a while, and Bozoma Saint John was added to the group this year. Kyle and Dorit both separated from their husbands, and their friendship was in trouble. Dorit and Boz immediately bonded and became besties, while Dorit and Sutton became enemies.
This season was the first time we saw cracks in the friendship between Garcelle and Sutton. The actress was bothered by her friend always trying to be “in” with Kyle. She also felt Sutton didn’t have her back the same way Garcelle had hers. Their future as friends is unclear.
Garcelle left the reunion without taking the group photo and didn’t look back. She quit the show. The last scene we saw was Sutton looking for her friend because they had planned to have supper. Garcelle was gone. No supper.
Sutton may wish her bestie were around next season for more than a meal. The ladies of Beverly Hills come for her often, and she may be standing against them all alone. She has her friend Jennifer Tilly in her corner, but Jennifer tends to sit back and watch more than come to anyone’s defense. It may be a lonely season for the southern belle.
