Season 14 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has already brought its fair share of drama and jaw-dropping moments. One such moment came during a lunch date at Sutton Stracke’s house, where the Sutton Concept founder blurted out a comment that caught both her co-stars and viewers by surprise. Stracke made an offhand remark about Kyle Richards’ marriage to Mauricio Umansky, claiming that Richards had dealt with infidelity. This moment left Richards visibly confused, leading fans to wonder about the state of the friendship between Sutton and Kyle.
In a February 2025 interview with E! News, Sutton Stracke addressed the awkward exchange and shared an update on her relationship with Richards after filming wrapped for season 14. When asked how things were between them after seeing the scene air, Stracke simply said, “It’s fine.”
Reflecting on the awkwardness of the moment, Stracke admitted that her favorite part of the scene was her own nonchalance: “My favorite part of that whole scene is I just keep eating sushi. I’m like ‘This is delicious.’” It seems that Stracke’s tendency to forget the cameras are rolling got the best of her in that moment. When asked if she felt like she knew something about Richards’ marriage that viewers needed to hear, Stracke was quick to clarify: “No. That is probably my biggest tragic flaw is I do tend to forget [the cameras are there].” She added that the exchange was simply “just conversation.”
The scene, which aired in episode “What the Chuck?” of RHOBH, occurred at Stracke’s house, where she had invited Richards and Garcelle Beauvais over for a tennis lesson and lunch. While discussing co-star Dorit Kemsley’s marital issues, Stracke shocked the group by mentioning Richards’ own marriage, saying, “But you also had infidelity. Let’s not forget that part.”
Kyle Richards, clearly caught off guard, responded, “What infidelity? Who did?” Stracke then confirmed, “You did,” leading to a tense back-and-forth. Richards insisted, “No I didn’t,” while Stracke followed up with, “With Mo, when you talked about him.”
This conversation seemed to reference a moment from the RHOBH season 13 reunion, where Richards had mentioned losing trust in her marriage. In a confessional during the episode, Sutton Stracke was asked if she was specifically referring to women reaching out to Umansky on Instagram, to which she replied, “No.” Stracke then admitted, “I always have a problem with things slipping out of my mouth,” suggesting that the comment wasn’t meant to be as serious as it came across.
Earlier in the season, Sutton Stracke had also given Richards some advice regarding her separation from Umansky. In the episode “A Sobering Separation,” Stracke urged Richards to file for divorce, warning her that the amicable split might not stay smooth due to potential financial issues. “If you go on to do something, from the date of filing, that’s yours,” Stracke told Richards during their discussion.
As of now, Richards and Umansky have not filed for divorce, leaving fans wondering if the couple will reconcile or if the marriage will officially come to an end.
In the end, Stracke’s candidness and occasional slip of the tongue seem to be part of her charm on the show, even if it leads to some uncomfortable moments. Whether or not the conversation about Richards’ marriage will impact their friendship in the long run remains to be seen, but for now, Stracke insists that things are “fine” between the two.
