Season 15 of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” is ongoing, with the cast expected to film the reunion soon. However, in the meantime, Sutton Stracke is not only adapting to her recent legal name change, but she’s also responding to Lisa Rinna. This comes after the former “RHOBH” co-star body shamed Stracke in her new book, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It.”
Sutton Stracke Doesn’t Care What Lisa Rinna Said About Her
Stracke appeared on the “Housewives Nightcap” podcast in March 2026. While on, the host mentioned Rinna’s book and how she’d written “some pretty interesting things” about the “RHOBH” star in it. When asked for her reaction, she said, “I didn’t have a reaction.”
Stracke continued, “I didn’t have a reaction. Like, who cares? I don’t care.” After that, the podcast host said, “That’s your reaction: ‘Who cares.’ Nothing can bother our zin, Sutton.” Stracke then said, “I mean, you know, why, it’s not going to bother me.”
What Did Lisa Rinna Say About Her Former ‘RHOBH’ Co-Star
Rinna released her newest book, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It,” on February 24. In it, she spoke openly about her career as an actress, her time on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” and her difficult relationship with Andy Cohen, including her reaction to him featuring her text messages in his book.
In addition to discussing her time on “RHOBH,” Rinna also spoke candidly about many of her former co-stars. According toSutton’s Roller on X, she wrote on Stracke, “I’m happy to drag Sutton. She’s frumpy, there’s no sex appeal about her whatsoever, and she’s got a weird body. So god bless her.”
Following the comments going viral, Kyle Richards defended her fellow “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star. While hosting an Amazon Live session, she responded to a fan who asked for her take. Richards said in the clip, “Not nice. I mean, you know, people have feelings. It doesn’t matter who you are, what you do. We’re all human, and we all have feelings, and I think it’s better not to comment on people’s bodies.”
She added, “And Sutton’s beautiful.”
Fans Think The Comment Bothered Sutton
Following Stracke’s comments, “RHOBH” fans took to the video’s comments section to both defend her and wonder whether she actually did care what Rinna wrote. One person said, “You can see on her face that she cares. But we’re all team Sutton. Rinna was wrong for 90% of that book.”
Another fan said, “Sutton is a stunning lady, and criticism on different bodies is yuck.” A different Instagram user wrote, “Rinna literally has a daughter who openly talked about body dysmorphia and having an eating disorder, and then publicly attacks other women for their bodies. Great parenting!”
Lastly, someone else stated, “Not buying it…she cares.”
Stracke Recently Addressed Her Friendship With Garcelle Beauvais
Garcelle Beauvais appeared on five seasons of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and became quite close with Stracke. However, she departed the series following the season 14 reunion, ending things on a sour note with her now former friend. This has led many fans to doubt that they were ever really close.
Stracke interviewed with Bravo’s “The Daily Dish” in December 2025 about where they stand after Beauvais publicly said the friendship was over. She said, “Yeah, it’s a lot of questions about Garcelle from cast members, and [the] press, and my friends, and the world. I have been a little taken aback by it.”
The “RHOBH” star then shared that she had reached out, saying, “Well, I’ve told her a lot in text messages, including many apologies. I just said, you know, ‘I’m just not sure for what, but help me understand what I’ve done in this friendship. So it’s a shame that we didn’t get to have a one-on-one conversation.”
Per Bravo, Beauvais said on “Watch What Happens Live” that she ended the friendship because Stracke didn’t support her. Saying, “Not only did she not have my back, she also, when she called me, never took accountability for it.”
The ‘Housewives’ Star Recently Changed Her Last Name
Stracke has opened up during season 15 of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” about her ex-husband requesting an annulment through the Catholic church, prompting her to begin using the surname “Brown” in her real life.
According to Bravo, she said in 2025, “After Christmas, I really decided to do Sutton Brown. There were some things that went on that I just disagreed with.” She later revealed that her full legal name was Sutton Brown Stracke and that she planned to drop the name Stracke.
She has also stated on the “RHOBH” after-show that, “It feels very young to be Sutton Brown, because I was young the last time I was Sutton Brown. It feels like a second lease on life.”
