The recently upgraded Housewife is apologizing after comparing Asian stereotyping to being called a redneck. On Thursday, Sutton took to Instagram and issued an apology. She not only owned her lack of awareness but vowed to educate herself and do better in the future. *“Despite Crystal and my strained relationship at the time, it was disrespectful to interrupt her and not listen to her express her truth,”* Sutton wrote. *“My life is blessed by the diversity of my relationships, and I am committed to become a better listener to understand the painful realities experienced by people of color. I am sorry. I will do better and be better,”* she continued. ![](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Screen-Shot-2021-05-28-at-8.52.35-AM.png) Crystal has yet to respond to the apology publicly. The fight between Sutton and Crystal took place during a cast trip to Lake Tahoe, which was filmed in late 2020. It all started when Kyle Richards recounted an argument she got into with co-star Garcelle Beauvais, who is black. She admitted that she didn't know she was stereotyping Garcelle until they sat down and talked about it. Crystal chimed in, saying, *“As someone who’s not white, when it hits you from stereotypes, it can be so painful that you can’t see anything else.”* She added, *“I’ve had friends who have said things to me — Asian comments and stuff like that —”* Sutton then cut Crystal off and said that she was trying to break the stereotype of all Southerners being rednecks, as she was born and raised in Georgia. *“Do you wanna talk about when I see dumbass rednecks on the TV, and that’s supposed to be me?”* Sutton said. *“And that’s supposed to be me? I also have a stereotype, but I don’t want to bring it up!”* Crystal called Sutton's comments *“insane.”* Their feud continues on next week's episode of RHOBH. The *Real Housewives of Beverly Hills *airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. ## Thoughts on Sutton's apology?
