Sutton Stracke and Kyle Richards’ friendship ups and downs were very prominent throughout Season 13 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Sutton was upset during the season that Kyle had not been more open about her marital issues and separation from her husband, Mauricio Umansky, while Kyle noted earlier in the season that Sutton had “a habit of losing [her] sh—t in ridiculous circumstances.” But in the four months since the RHOBH Season 13 reunion aired, things have changed between the two cast members.
Are Sutton Stracke and Kyle Richards friends?
Things have moved in a positive direction for Sutton and Kyle, as Sutton revealed to Us Weekly on Monday, July 22 that they “are in a really good place.”
“I just love her and I love our friendship where it’s going and so I want to be there for her to support her in any way that I can,” she told the magazine.
This change is due in part to the fact that Kyle has apparently been confiding in Sutton more about her relationship issues. “We’ve talked about some things and I seem to be the queen of divorce,” she added. “I don’t know why.”
Kyle Richards recently supported Sutton Stracke at her fashion show
Kyle returned the support to Sutton on Monday, while attending her fashion show for her Sutton Brands Green Label Capsule Collection. Kyle attended the show, alongside her fellow RHOBH cast members Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, new addition Bozoma Saint John, and her sister, Kathy Hilton.

All of the women looked absolutely stunning while attending the fashion show. But, their appearance at the show is just a testament to the strength of their friendship with Sutton today.
Sutton Stracke was not expecting an apology from Kyle Richards
During a Feb. 7 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Sutton said that she did not expect Kyle to apologize to her for what she said about her in Season 13. “I don’t think I am looking for an apology,” she said.
“For me, it was just apologizing to her, because I don’t think that I was a good friend,” she added. “And you know, I don’t need an apology.”

Sutton told host, Andy Cohen, that she just wished that Kyle had been more communicative with her throughout the season. “I wish that Kyle had been more open with us,” she told Andy. “I think that personally, I was open with a lot of my feelings this season, and I kind of expected her to be more open with us.”
