In a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, hosted by Andy Cohen featuring Jeremiah Brent of Netflix’s Queer Eye and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Sutton Stracke, the two took a deep dive into some of the juicier moments of RHOBH. During the show, fans weighed in on Sutton’s tense exchange with Dorit Kemsley, with the majority expressing support for Sutton’s perspective. But it was an offhand comment about Kyle Richards’ relationship with Dorit’s husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, that sparked the most conversation.
Andy Cohen, always a master at stirring the pot, seized the moment to ask Sutton Stracke how surprised she was by the news that Kyle Richards had been keeping in touch with PK during his recent separation from Dorit. Sutton Stracke’s response was measured but revealing, as she seemed genuinely curious about the boundaries of friendship in this context.
Sutton Stracke began by defending Kyle, explaining, “Well, they are friends. I was wondering about this — what’s the line? When do you stop talking to your friends who are going through a separation from their husband?” Sutton’s stance seemed to suggest that supporting a friend during a difficult time—such as a marital split—was a natural thing to do. After all, Kyle has known the Kemsleys for years and is quite close to both of them.
As the discussion unfolded, Jeremiah Brent, who joined Sutton on the show, chimed in with a more direct perspective. He didn’t seem to have the same reservations about what might be considered acceptable in terms of friendships between separated spouses. “Right away,” he said, implying that once a couple is separated, the lines are much clearer.
Jeremiah’s blunt reaction likely spoke to the general skepticism surrounding situations where one partner in a marriage continues to communicate with the other—especially when emotional baggage is involved. In reality TV circles, especially on Real Housewives, relationships often come with an added layer of drama, leaving fans to wonder about the true nature of these friendships and interactions.
