Kyle Richards claims she made amends with Sutton Stracke after accusing her of lying about previous miscarriages.
“I immediately called Sutton and apologized to her,” the actress, 53, wrote on her Instagram Story on Tuesday about her heated conversation with the fashion designer, 50, on this week’s episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” “
“I consider Sutton a good friend and care about her a lot,” she continued. “Sutton accepted my apology and we moved on.”
In a preview of Wednesday’s episode, Diana Jenkins told her new co-stars about a recent pregnancy loss, leading Stracke to mention her own past miscarriages.
“I’m so sorry you lost your baby,” Stracke told Jenkins, 48, on the spot. “I’m just trying to get in touch with you because I kind of understand this. I’ve lost two babies.”
Richards asked, ‘You’ve lost two babies? I’ve never heard this before.”
When Stracke doubled down and called her “two miscarriages” a “very personal thing,” Richards replied, “I love you, but this feels like bulls-t. … You’re going to say you lost two babies? Out of the blue, you say. We don’t know!”
Stracke called the implication of Richards “the meanest thing” the “Halloween” star had “ever” said to her.
†[It’s] break my heart and let me down in our friendship,” Stracke said.
Richards told her Instagram followers on Tuesday that after reflecting on Stracke’s confession, she realized that “Maybe Sutton shared her story with Diana to connect with her in some way.”
The “Little House on the Prairie” alum explained that she spoke out because she thought Stracke was trying to seize Jenkins’ “moment”.
“I had obviously had a few drinks and didn’t express myself clearly and I was disappointed with the way I handled myself,” she wrote, also citing the response she received for laughing at Erika Jayne swearing at the teenage son by Garcelle Beauvais.
“I laughed at a friend’s drunken, ridiculous behavior,” Richards insisted in an Instagram comment. “NOT about disrespecting someone’s child.
“I think you know me better than that by now,” she added. “I wasn’t even there to see this and only heard about Erika and what she had said afterward.”
