As Bravo fans know, Sutton Stracke has been dealing with her ongoing health issue of neuropathy. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member even cheekily joked about her diagnosis on Season 12 while on a date with her now-good friend Sanjit.
However, this doesn’t seem to be the only health concern that has affected Sutton’s life. On Season 13, Episode 7 of RHOBH, the Southern socialite opened up about her esophagus disorder, which seemingly plays a part in her diet.
Sutton Stracke’s esophagus disorder, explained
During the episode, Sutton’s lack of eating became a concern amongst the group after Kyle Richards noticed that her friend moves around the food on her plate.
Of course, Sutton wasn’t happy about the comment and confronted Kyle during a heated exchange. “You’re going to tell everybody I don’t eat,” Sutton told Kyle, to which she replied, “But you don’t.”
Kyle stood by her stance on Sutton not eating and eventually revealed that it was due to her having a “disorder” that “choke[s]” her when swallowing food.
At the moment, Sutton was hurt by Kyle’s claims, which touched upon in her confessional. “My esophagus disorder is not something to be made fun of,” Sutton explained about her health issue. “I can’t eat certain foods. I’ve been down for four days not able to swallow my own saliva. And here’s my friend, making fun of me.”
While Sutton was distraught by Kyle’s treatment, she tried to settle things once and for all. “I’m sick of fighting with you,” Sutton yelled at Kyle. “You’ve already lost two sisters, do you want to lose a third?”
Immediately, Kyle was shocked by Sutton’s remarks and stormed out of her kitchen before saying, “Oh really, go f-ck yourself.”
Sutton Stracke’s divorce from her ex-husband, Christian Stracke
Health isn’t the only difficult topic Sutton has discussed on Season 13 of RHOBH. Most recently, on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show, Sutton reflected on her divorce from her ex-husband, Christian Stracke.
“I was the one that asked Christian to get out of the house,” Sutton said in the clip above. “Because I thought this is going to turn into World War III, and so I thought if he gets out of the house, we can like start therapy and then do that.”
Ultimately, Sutton’s former husband ended up filing for divorce. As for his reasoning for doing the deed, Sutton revealed that it was due to Christian being “so angry at her” at the time.
