Sutton Stracke is dissatisfied with her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills colleague, Erika Jayne, for making a remark about her sexual performance.
"After Erika suggested that I was unsatisfactory in bed, I felt offended because she has no knowledge of my abilities in intimate situations," said Sutton, 52, to We magazine following the airing of the Bravo hit on Wednesday, November 8. "You can never truly judge someone."
During a confessional on Wednesday, Erika, who is 52 years old, expressed her belief that Sutton would not be good in bed. This comment followed Sutton's claim that she would engage in sexual activity twice a day if she were in a relationship.
In this week's episode, Sutton was the center of attention as the group of women traveled to Las Vegas to celebrate Crystal Kung Minkoff's 40th birthday. As part of the festivities, the cast enjoyed a VIP experience at Magic Mike Live. However, Sutton felt offended by the show, particularly when Crystal and Erika were brought on stage and had men's faces in close proximity to their private areas. This caused Sutton to abruptly leave the theater.
Sutton revealed that there was an underlying issue in her personal life that contributed to her Las Vegas meltdown. She acknowledged that viewers will eventually learn about it, which doesn't excuse her behavior but does offer an explanation. Reflecting on the episode, she expressed discomfort and sympathy for herself, stating that she undergoes significant personal growth each season and releases something significant from her life. While she admitted to losing control, she did not approve of her behavior on stage. She recognized that she may have exaggerated the situation more than necessary due to various circumstances and overreacted.

She continued, “I was uncomfortable with what I saw on stage and I overreacted. In retrospect, who cares? It’s a great show. The dancing is really great.”
Garcelle Beauvais trailed after Sutton into the restroom as she abruptly left, unaware that Sutton intended to have some solitude.
"I simply desired some time alone to collect my thoughts and regain composure," Sutton clarified to Us. "At that moment, my personal struggles consumed my mind, and as the season progresses, viewers will uncover more about it."
Sutton mentioned that she was unable to disclose to the other women the challenges she was facing during that period.
"It was a significant event, and what I would experience afterwards had a major impact on my life. However, at that particular moment, I was prohibited from sharing it with anyone. The restriction continued for a few weeks, preventing me from confiding in anyone at all," Sutton explained. "As a result, I was distant and disconnected, only discovering the news that morning."
Prior to attending the Magic Mike Live show, Erika had instructed the women to wear pants while on stage. When Sutton complied with this instruction but was not asked to join the performance, Kyle Richards speculated that the entire meltdown was related to the choice of trousers. However, Sutton has denied this allegation.
"It was not about the pants. I genuinely adore those pants," she asserted. "They were a popular item at my store and sold out. They are truly beautiful pants."
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
