Sutton Stracke believes Dorit Kemsley intended to embarrass her by revealing that she kissed her driver during a recent Taco Tuesday event seen on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Following the latest episode, Sutton, 52, suspected she was being punished by her castmates as Dorit, 47, insisted she meant no harm and was just being “cheeky,” and Garcelle Beauvais, 57, accused the cast of having a double standard.
“All the single ladies, when we go out, that stays with all the single ladies. But it did not. Dorit announced it at Taco Tuesday to everyone — people I didn’t even know,” Sutton revealed on the December 20 episode of the RHOBH: After Show, adding that it was “not [Dorit’s] story to tell.”
“She wasn’t there. It felt a little like she was trying to embarrass you, which is what I said,” Garcelle replied.
Meanwhile, in her own segment, Dorit said she had no idea that she was supposed to keep Sutton’s kiss with her driver a secret.
“There was no indication to be that it was a secret. Five minutes before, [Erika Jayne] tells me, while Sutton is there, it was not like she told me in private,” she noted as Crystal Kung-Minkoff, 40, agreed the incident didn’t “feel like a big deal.”
“At all,” Dorit clarified. “I like to have fun and joy and have banter, and it was very cheeky to joke around with her, absolutely not to hurt her or embarrass her, it truly, and that is my hand on my heart.”
Still, according to Sutton, Dorit was “picking on [her] again.” And, she was likely doing so to punish her.
“I can’t go anywhere with these women without them doing something. What did I do? I did one thing. I read the L.A. Times,” she explained of her decision to read the publication’s exposé on Erika and Thomas Girardi, 84. “I shouldn’t have read it. I shouldn’t have asked questions. Because I will be punished for that for the rest of my life.”
Sutton went on to note that Erika, 52, said Dorit and Paul “PK” Kemsley‘s marriage was “gonna end,” only to be forgiven shortly thereafter.
“There is a double standard about that. That’s for sure,” Garcelle stated.
“But it’s gonna take me a lifetime because I asked questions and because I said that really bad remark [to Kyle Richards],” Sutton responded, giving a nod to the hurtful comment she made about Kyle’s drama with her sisters, Kathy Hilton, 64, and Kim Richards, 59. “And I have apologized for that 18 times, and I went real deep with an apology, said it’s the worst thing I’ve ever said in my life, but okay, so I’m gonna get punished now from two people for the rest of my life?”
“Listen, it’s not fair, and it’s not right for Dorit to air something about me that I didn’t even know she knew,” she added.
While Sutton has portrayed herself as prim and proper since joining RHOBH in 2021 for season 11, Dorit suggested it is a “front.”
“I think there’s layers to Sutton and she’s starting to reveal them a little bit. She makes out with her driver once in a while, and she smokes joints,” she noted.
“It’s okay,” Sutton sarcastically concluded. “Sutton’s a big old sl*t. I’m a pot-smoking sl*t in a church dress.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
