Sutton Stracke is spilling major tea about the upcoming tenth season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The newbie also shared her first impressions of her co-stars. Stracke, who is close friends with Lisa Rinna, she made it clear that she was not brought in to the show by Rinna.
“I had been asked many times before, or at least like, ‘Let’s have a conversation about this, Sutton, we would love for you to come on board.’ And even when I was in Orange County that started,” Sutton told Us Weekly.
“But that was like really early in the process and I was never interested. And so finally it was a couple of years ago, they called me and said, ‘We really want you to do the show.’ And I was having lunch with Lisa ironically about the same time. And she just said, ‘If you do it, just be really prepared.’ And I had just gone through a divorce and I was like, ‘I don’t think I’m prepared.’ So about a year later I thought, ‘Oh, I think I’m ready for this. Let’s do it.’”
Sutton admitted that she “really know what to expect in any way, shape or form.”
“I did think that I would get to know Lisa in a different way and we went over a hump and that did happen, so that’s cool,” she told the publication. “And there were some girls in the beginning that I thought, I’m never going to get to know them, and I ended like, ‘Wow. I really like them and got close.’ So it’s been cool.”
The boutique owner also admits that she wasn't worried about the cameras following her around.
“Filming didn’t bother me at all. I think what was harder is when other people are around and then they get nervous. Like my friends or like my boyfriend, they would get nervous,” she explained. “I’m such a goofball that it didn’t really bother me. I think it’s going to be interesting to see how my look progressed cause I’m not a big makeup person. And the further we got into it, the bigger my lashes were getting, I’m like what is happening here? And I realized, especially when you’re shooting with all the girls, you’re like, ‘Oh, you better bring it.’”
According to Sutton, the RHOBH will likely return to Bravo in April. Stracke then breaks down her first impressions of co-stars.
Garcelle Beauvais: “It was hard for me to get to know Garcelle at first. One time she said, ‘I don't know if I like you and I don't think you know if you like me.’ And I said, ‘Well I like you,’” Sutton told Us. “I was like, ‘Oh, I didn't think it was possible not to like me, but OK.’ But since then we have bonded and we kind of look at each other across the room like, ‘Oh, lord Jesus. What's happening?’ We have similar senses of humor and she's been great. I wished that I had seen her more during the season, but we didn't get to have, I think we had one, one-on-one. I really like her. She's a good girl.”
Lisa Rinna: “Lisa threw me to the wolves. We had been laughing about this … I met all the ladies in New York at a dinner that Kyle [Richards] was hosting and Lisa honestly said to me — she introduced me to everybody, we went to the bar to get a drink and then she said, ‘OK, you're on your own!’” Sutton told Us Weekly. “And she walked away. For me, I can be a little shy at first.”
Dorit Kemsley: “I thought Dorit was a bit more hard to get to know and I thought that that was going to be an easier relationship,” she said.
Brandi Glanville: “I have known Brandi for a while. She's been to my house a few times, so I know what's up with Brandi,” Sutton shared. “And the thing with Brandi is she likes a lot of attention and she gets a lot of attention, but she really deep heartedly is a good person. I mean, she might be outrageous, but she’s not hurting anybody. At least that I know. I don’t think she’s vindictive.”
Denise Richards: “We went to the final party at Dorit’s house and I was in the car with my boyfriend and I said, ‘I really hope Denise comes’. And she wasn't there. It surprised me,” Sutton said. “And also it made me sad because I wanted her to be there. I really like her. She's a really dear person and she has a very calm energy. I think we're all, we all like her. So I think we were all disappointed that she didn't come.”
Camille Grammer: “I did meet Camille. And it's so funny, I met her at a party that Kyle did. I met her as she was leaving, so I didn't really get to talk to her, but we have a mutual friend,” she told Us Weekly. “So no, I mean, I didn’t have any interaction with Camille so she seemed cool and sweet.”
Erika Girardi: “Erika, I thought it would be really hard to get to know, but at the end, we have this little thing, like a little bond. I really like her a lot,” Sutton told the publication. “She'll whip you into shape, but she does it with only the best intentions. Every time I talk about her, I like want to get verklempt-y because of her Broadway stuff. We have a lot of in common, so it's cool.”
