Sutton Stracke is opening up about where she stands with her castmates ahead of the upcoming “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” reunion — and some relationships may surprise fans.
While Sutton and Erika Jayne didn’t always get along in past seasons, Sutton says things have changed in a big way during season 15.
Sutton Stracke and Erika Jayne Friendship Takes Unexpected Turn on RHOBH
Sutton revealed that her relationship with Erika is now in a much better place after a rocky history.
“Erika and I did not end our [season 14] reunion well,” Sutton told OK! Magazine. “I wasn’t quite sure how this was going to go. I think we both treated each other with kid gloves and walked in gently to the friendship with one another. It has paid off.”
She continued, “We really got to know each other well. We enjoy each other’s company and that’s been really fun. She’s smart and she’s actually a really good friend.”
Sutton also shared that she made a conscious effort to change her approach this season.
“After last season… I needed to take a break and reset a lot of things,” Sutton explained. “I knew that I needed to go into it without being so reactionary and so prickly.”

Even though Sutton says she avoided the hot seat at the reunion, she hinted that others weren’t so lucky.
“That was kind of fun, to not be so stressed out for the reunion,” Sutton said in a separate interview with US Weekly.
According to Sutton, Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley faced the most pressure as their ongoing feud continued.
“Well, they made it out alive,” Sutton noted. “It’s never fun to watch anybody’s relationship go through this.”
Sutton also said newcomer Amanda Frances found herself under scrutiny.
“I found her kind of grating at times,” Sutton said. “We really, really wanted to know her.”
Meanwhile, Sutton’s own relationship with Dorit has hit another rough patch following a recent argument. Dorit described the moment as “so weird,” explaining she was opening up about her daughter when Sutton shifted the conversation.
Sutton said she was trying to be supportive but felt the interaction didn’t land well.
“I wanted a friendship with Dorit, truly,” Sutton said. “I felt like if I was honest… that it would help. And Dorit did not want to deal with me.”
With tensions still lingering, it’s clear the reunion will dig into multiple unresolved issues — even if Sutton isn’t at the center of it this time.
