Erika Jayne said Sutton Stracke and Garcelle Beauvais “cut me no breaks” during the “lowest point in my life,” and now, Sutton wants “sympathy.” Her castmate Boz Saint John then reacted, calling Garcelle’s behavior “hypocritical.”
In a recent episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Garcelle defended Sutton after Dorit Kemsley joked about alcohol in her drink. Sutton later accused Dorit of perpetuating a narrative that she has a drinking problem.
But in a past season, both Garcelle and Sutton suggested that Erika was inappropriately mixing alcohol and medicine, and Garcelle called her out in front of the group. They also questioned her multiple times on lawsuits related to her estranged husband, Tom Girardi.
“[Sutton] having this reaction about [her drinking] — I’m sorry, what about what was done to me?” asked Erika in a preview of the upcoming episode, via @therealhousewiveszone on Instagram. In a confessional interview, she added, “Sutton and Garcelle cut me no breaks when I was going through the lowest point in my life.”
“They had no problem talking about lawsuits and medication and drinking and all of these alleged things,” she continued. “Now, all of a sudden, Sutton wants sympathy because someone said something about her.”
Back in the scene, Erika pointed out that Garcelle “consistently defends that behavior.”
Dorit agreed, “[She] looks at [Sutton’s] behavior with rose-colored glasses.”
Boz then alluded to Garcelle’s dig that she’s Dorit’s mouthpiece. “It is hypocritical when they say, ‘Oh, well, you are defending Dorit all the time, or you’re her mouthpiece’ — while you’re over here kikiing with yours,” said Boz.
“All the time for years now,” said Erika.
In a February 27 interview for Access Hollywood’s Housewives Nightcap, Boz addressed her castmates’ complaints about her close friendship with Dorit.
“If I’m not here, which one of you is gonna be talking to her? Which one of you is going to be supporting her? None of you,” she said. “And so the fact that there’s even an opinion about me being friends with her, I’m just like, so what did you want? You wanted her to just be on an island by herself? … That doesn’t seem like the goodwill, this ode to sistership that people tout.”
