Sutton Stracke Drops Bombshell: RHOBH Cast Completely Overlooked Lisa Rinna's Absence

Lisa Rinna's absence from the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills went unnoticed by her castmate Sutton Stracke. Despite previously having some issues with Rinna in the previous season, Stracke revealed that the cast was so occupied with their busy lives, travel plans, and various intriguing activities that they didn't dwell on her absence.

Lisa, who is 60 years old, revealed her departure from RHOBH in January. She became a full-time Housewife on the Bravo series in 2014.

In a statement, Lisa expressed her gratitude to Bravo and everyone involved in the show, stating, "This has been the longest job I have had throughout my 35-year career. I am thankful to everyone at Bravo and those who have contributed to the series. It has been an enjoyable 8-year journey, and I am looking forward to what lies ahead!"

Sutton and Lisa are currently not in contact with each other, as stated by Sutton. According to her, both of them felt the need for a break and a little distance from each other, similar to kindergartners who need to sit in their chairs. The clash between Sutton and Lisa occurred in season 12 when Sutton repeatedly mentioned that Lisa never thanked her for accompanying her to Elton John's 2019 Oscars party. This issue had been raised before, but it seemed to have reached a tipping point for Lisa last year.

"Feel free to target me however you please, but I strictly forbid any mention of my children or spouse. It's non-negotiable," Lisa fiercely shouted at Sutton. "And if you dare tread upon my husband and kids, I will relentlessly pursue you until the end of time. I will stop at nothing to get to you!"

Despite the intense conflict, Sutton expressed her sadness in January regarding Lisa's departure from the show. "We're all feeling a sense of loss," Sutton revealed to E! News. "She had a knack for stirring the pot, and we all enjoyed indulging in the drama. So, I believe we will miss Lisa's unique touch in our group dynamic."

RHOBH's upcoming season 13, without Lisa, doesn't have a set release date yet. However, Sutton is currently occupied with her boutique, SUTTON. She has just introduced a sustainable fashion line through her SUTTON Circular Fashion House. The mission of this line is to minimize waste by repurposing materials that would otherwise end up in landfills.

Sutton expressed, "We often overlook the detrimental impact of fashion on our planet. So, I decided to actively contribute to the solution rather than adding to the problem, considering my passion for fashion."

Sutton is currently collaborating with former Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member Cynthia Bailey on a project that is scheduled to debut in September. "We are thrilled to have her on board," Sutton expressed to Us. "Our aim is to utilize celebrities as a means to educate the public on the significance of sustainability and to foster a deeper understanding that our landfills do not need to be flooded with excessive clothing."
