Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills: Sutton Stracke confronts Crystal Kung Minkoff over ‘dark’ comments
Sutton Stracke confronted Crystal Kung Minkoff over her accusation that she made ‘dark’ comments on Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.
The season 12 episode titled In Hot Water focused on original cast member Kyle Richards, 53, and Garcelle Beauvais, 55, trying to find out what Sutton allegedly said to Crystal last year when their friendship got off to a rocky start.
‘I just don’t want any kind of untruths to be spoken that can be very dangerous,’ Sutton, 50, said to Crystal, 36, during a group dinner with the other women in Punta Mita, Mexico. ‘I feel like you have tried to assassinate my character now twice. It makes me nervous about my friendship with you.’

‘I understand,’ Crystal said.
‘Do you think you exaggerated or made something up,’ Dorit Kemsley, 45, asked Crystal.
‘I’m not making anything up,’ Crystal said. ‘What I said was that things were said that were hurtful and that’s it. I need you to stop denying my experience.’
‘You said it was so dark, she could get cancelled,’ Kyle said. ‘It was so horrible you couldn’t talk about it. And you were crying that it was so awful. That is what gaslighting is.’
Hurtful words: ‘I’m not making anything up,’ Crystal said. ‘What I said was that things were said that were hurtful and that’s it. I need you to stop denying my experience’
Erika Jayne, 50, asked Sutton what she thought about the Crystal’s comment.
‘You just want her to say that she doesn’t think you’re a racist?’ Erika said. ‘When you don’t say what it is people are going to fill in the blanks and it’s going to be a lot worse.’
‘It’s not good for you,’ Lisa Rinna, 58, said to Sutton.
Speaking up; ‘You just want her to say that she doesn’t think you’re a racist?’ Erika Jayne said to Sutton. ‘When you don’t say what it is people are going to fill in the blanks and it’s going to be a lot worse’
‘Here we go again and I’m f***ing pissed,’ Sutton said. ‘I said nothing wrong and I said nothing bad. And this is the truth. It’s not f***ing fair.’
‘I didn’t bring it up,’ Crystal said.
‘Yes, you did!’ Sutton said. ‘ You make up lies about your friends behind their backs.’
Not fair: ‘Yes, you did!’ Sutton said. ‘ You make up lies about your friends behind their backs’
‘You made it seem way worse than it was,’ Kyle said to Crystal.
‘Is somebody going to tell me what the f*** was said?’ Erika said.
‘Nope,’ Lisa said.
Way worse: ‘You made it seem way worse than it was,’ Kyle said to Crystal
‘It’s about my family and how I have raised them to have multicultural friends,’ Sutton said.
‘That was it?’ Lisa asked.
‘Yes,’ Sutton said. ‘We have a pool. We have a Jacuzzi. Everybody’s welcome.’
Multicultural friends: ‘It’s about my family and how I have raised them to have multicultural friends,’ Sutton said
‘That doesn’t seem dark to me,’ Garcelle said.
‘But was it problematic to you?’ Crystal said.
‘No,’ Garcelle said. ‘What we are all taking offense to is the fact that you alluded to it being really, really bad, that could hurt her reputation.’
Not problematic: ‘No,’ Garcelle said. ‘What we are all taking offense to is the fact that you alluded to it being really, really bad, that could hurt her reputation’
‘Thanks a lot,’ Sutton said.
‘I’m sorry,’ Crystal said.
The episode opened with Garcelle checking out the site of her new beach house she planned to build with her sister Chantal. Dorit meanwhile met Erika for lunch and said she had just come from her Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy ( EMDR) therapy session in the aftermath of being robbed at home.
Saying sorry: ‘I’m sorry,’ Crystal said after Sutton blasted her
‘The fact that you got into therapy right away shows that you’re on your way to recovery,’ Erika said.
Dorit asked Erika if she had any update on Lisa Rinna’s mother Lois.
‘It’s bad,’ Erika said, sharing that Lisa had to put her mother in hospice care.

She asked Crystal why she brought up something about Sutton from a year ago but then never said what it was. Kyle said that Crystal threw Sutton under the bus.
‘I’m just going to be really clear about this,’ Crystal said. ‘I’m not going to repeat what she said.’
‘Well then you never should have said it,’ Kyle said.
Not repeating: ‘I’m just going to be really clear about this,’ Crystal said. ‘I’m not going to repeat what she said’
‘Lesson learned,’ Crystal said.
‘Do you not see that it’s dangerous to throw something like that out there and say it’s so dark, but I can’t say?’ Kyle said. ‘To be honest I think you are gaslighting this situation.’
‘I’m going to ask you to give me the benefit of the doubt,’ Crystal said.

‘I’m going to ask you then to be more direct, not passive aggressive,’ Kyle said.
‘I will do everything possible to be more open and direct,’ Crystal said.
Diana went over to Kyle’s house. Kyle said to Diana that she had exciting news that her oldest daughter Farrah got engaged. Diana said her baby was just starting to walk around the house.

Kyle asked her how many more babies she planned on having. Diana shared that when Eli was five months old she got pregnant with a baby boy but she got terrible news during a scan at the doctor’s office.
‘I was going to show Asher what was happening, I put the phone (up) and she said ”put the phone down, this baby’s dead”,’ Diana said.
‘They figured out that the baby may have been dead for a couple of weeks, which is very dangerous for a mother because all kinds of infections can happen,’ Diana said in a confessional.

Garcelle met Sutton for dinner. Sutton told Garcelle the only thing she said to Crystal was a story about her child sitting in a jacuzzi with a Black, Chinese and Irish-Catholic girl and she said that was how things should be.
‘What would Crystal find so dark about a bunch of kids being in a pool?’ Garcelle said.

‘I don’t know,’ Sutton said.
Garcelle said they couldn’t progress until they knew what Crystal found so dark and ‘that cannot be it.’
‘Then I’m going to say, I would watch your back,’ Garcelle said. ‘That’s not a friend.’
Watch out: ‘Then I’m going to say, I would watch your back,’ Garcelle said. ‘That’s not a friend’
‘I know,’ Sutton said.
A black title card reading ‘November 15, 2021’ was shown as it was revealed that Lisa’s mother Lois had died in hospice.
‘I’m still in shock,’ Lisa said in a confessional. ‘She was 93-and-a-half so you know it’s coming, but you want to keep your loved one alive if you can.’
