Sutton Stracke said she has no regrets about her former friendships with Garcelle Beauvais and Avi Gabay. Well, maybe one.
During a January 2026 appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star revealed that she was fine with moving on from her onetime RHOBH best friend and her personal assistant. “Oh, no. I don’t have any regrets,” Stracke told host Andy Cohen. “I look back on my friendship with Garcelle so fondly, and I had just really, really great memories with her.”
Stracke then admitted she wished her friendship with Beauvais had a better ending. “I wish that I had a better ending, you know, like a face-to-face ending,“ she said. “It kind of didn’t end. It fizzled. …I regret that part,” she admitted.
Beauvais cut ties with Stracke after the RHOBH Season 14 reunion taping last year. During an Oct. 23 appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” the actress said her friendship with Stracke was over for good. “Not only she didn’t have my back, she also, when she called me, never took accountability for it. And that hurt my feelings a lot,” Beauvais explained.
Sutton Stracke Explained Why Her Friendship with Avi Ended
Avi Gabay appeared on two seasons of RHOBH, making his first cameo as Stracke’s right-hand man on the Season 13 premiere in 2013, per BravoTV.com. By mid-2025, the personal assistant/property manager disappeared from Stracke’s side.
On WWHL, she told Cohen, “Avi was, we were friends. Then he was an employee. And so when, you know, when we parted ways, when I let him go, that’s a professional thing. And I had to keep it professional, and that’s just how it went.”
In a separate interview, Stracke told Page Six Radio that she had to consider Gabay a “past employee” more than a former friend.
“With Avi, you know, we were great friends, and then he came to work for me and then he’s no longer an employee,” she explained. “So when that happens, you know, he’s just a past employee. It’s just unfortunate, but that’s how that had to go.”
Sutton Stracke Said She Had to Let Her Friendships Go
GettyStracke appears to be okay with moving on. Of her relationship with Beauavis, she told Page Six, “You know, I’ve had to let that go.”
“I had great times with her and great memories, and I wish her the best. I think that she’s very talented. But, you know, it’s over,” she said of her friendship with the “Black Girl Missing” actress.
Stracke also told Cohen that she has no plan to reach out to Beauvais or Gabay in the future.
I’m sorry but Garcelle was one hell of a great friend. And as a friend she always had your back. And the one time she needed Sutton to have her back at the reunion, you Sutton just sat quietly and never backed her up. Shame on you Sutton for trying to get into a group who never liked you. Sutton you lost a really true good friend. You took and took from Garcelle standing up for you countless times. But you were to interested in getting into the group. So lady it’s your lost. And you’ll see how much the group still dislikes you. You get what you give in a true friendship. Your lost! Cause those ladies are all two faced. Garcelle never gossiped behind anyone backs she confronted you right to your face. So Sutton Karma will bite you in the ass and you will realize what a great friend you had.You gave up her friendship for a bunch of ladies who treat you and talk behind your back. They treat you like crap. And you deserve it……PERIOD
I so agree! Shame on you Sutton! It is always about you you have NEVER taken into account others feelings!
A bit harsh. Do you know these ladies personally?
I just feel it’s sad when a friendship ends especially people who are so close to each other I hope that maybe at some point in the future they can sit down and talk and come back together again
