RHOBH’s Sutton Stracke Unfollows Garcelle Beauvais, Faces Backlash for Sharing New Photo With Friend as Fans Suggest She’s Garcelle’s “Replacement”

Sutton Stracke and Garcelle Beauvais are no longer following one another on Instagram.

Months after the former friends suffered a falling out on the heels of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 reunion, during which Garcelle, 58, faced a lack of support from Sutton, 53, the ladies, who appeared to reconcile and refollow one another at some point thereafter, seem to be back on the outs.

In screenshots shared by Bye Wig Hello Drama on Instagram, it is confirmed that Sutton no longer follows Garcelle, and that Garcelle no longer follows Sutton.

Around the time that Sutton’s unfollowing of Garcelle was discovered, she shared a photo of herself with another friend, which sparked backlash from fans who felt she was attempting to replace Garcelle.

“Loved every second with [Ferneasa Cutno],” Sutton wrote in the caption of her pic. “Friends since we were 21, and we’ve been friends throughout: you name it! Dance Buddies forever.”

“Is this Garcelle’s replacement?” a fan asked after the image was shared, adding that it was an “interesting 21 years of friendship.”

“Yes. And do not be rude,” Sutton replied.

Although some took Sutton’s “yes” to be about the supposed replacement of Garcelle, others insisted she was responding to the IG user’s potential question about the length of her friendship 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 person noted.

But someone else agreed with the original commenter who suggested Sutton was using Ferneasa to replace Garcelle.

“My thoughts exactly!!” they wrote.

Meanwhile, others felt the timing of her post with Ferneasa was suspicious, telling her to “read the room” and “take down the picture.”

“Are these comments necessary?!” another asked, citing the messages that suggested Sutton only posted the image of her and Ferneasa due to her race. 

“So now we can’t have friends of the opposite race? As a Black woman with friends of every race, I am disgusted!” they continued.

Following their initial falling out earlier this year, Sutton appeared on Jeff Lewis‘ radio show on SiriusXM, where she expressed hope in a future reconciliation.

“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. I hope that I can rectify things later … Sometimes I think 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,” she shared.
