RHOBH's Sutton Stracke Fires Back Amid Teddi Mellencamp's Implications of Alcoholism

Sutton Stracke is insisting that her former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costars refrain from mentioning her name, unless it's part of a drinking game.

The drama unfolded when Teddi Mellencamp suggested on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that Sutton, aged 52, may have a drinking problem. Specifically, during the "BravOh No They Didn't" segment on Wednesday, October 25, Teddi, aged 42, criticized Sutton for perpetuating the rumor about PK Kemsley being accompanied by a woman during his arrest in November 2021.

Teddi remarked, "I find it ironic that Sutton, who supposedly carries vodka in her purse at all times, would make such a statement." She emphasized that she had read the police report herself, which stated that PK was alone during the incident.

After the episode aired, Sutton took to X (formerly Twitter) to share her thoughts. "SUTTON should have been the word of the night on @BravoWWHL," she joked, referring to the customary WWHL drinking game where viewers take a sip whenever the guest mentions the word chosen by host Andy Cohen at the beginning of the show. (The word for that Wednesday was "Erika.")

During the season 13 premiere of RHOBH earlier on Wednesday, the topic of PK's marriage to Dorit Kemsley became a major subject of discussion among the women. This happened when Dorit, who is 47 years old, confronted Erika Jayne for proclaiming at a BravoCon event that the Kemsleys would be the next Bravo couple to separate.

During a confessional interview, Sutton revealed that the only gossip she had come across was regarding PK's arrest. She mentioned, "There might have been a woman accompanying him in the car." PK, who is 56 years old, was apprehended for suspected DUI in November 2021. As per the arrest report, PK was by himself in the vehicle during the occurrence and was given a citation before being released after being taken to the police station.

Dorit later expressed that her husband deeply regretted his actions. She stated at the People's Choice Awards in December 2021 that he fully acknowledges the seriousness and risks of drinking and driving. She reassured that he was only slightly over the legal limit and vowed that it would not occur again.

Following reports from In Touch about them living separate lives, PK and Dorit, both 47, addressed speculations about their relationship publicly on Wednesday. They acknowledged that they have faced difficulties in recent years but clarified that they have not made the decision to end their marriage.

"We are dedicated to resolving these concerns together as a united couple, for the sake of our family," the pair expressed in a joint statement. "We have not parted ways, nor do we have intentions to do so. Instead, our focus is on healing, implementing adjustments, and undertaking the endeavors that many couples inevitably face during their marriage."

Dorit and PK, who are parents to their 9-year-old son Jagger and 7-year-old daughter Phoenix, exchanged vows in 2015.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
