Sutton Stracke got upgraded to a full-time housewife on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 11. The fashion maven had appeared in season 10 as a “friend of.” However, her way of mixing herself into drama made her the perfect candidate to receive a diamond. Stracke has found herself at odds with newcomer Crystal Kung Minkoff in the current season and is reflecting on her “biggest mistake.”

Why are Crystal Kung Minkoff and Sutton Stracke feuding?

Stracke and Kung Minkoff have had various miscommunications as RHOBH Season 11 plays out. As the ladies took a trip to Lake Tahoe, Stracke cut off Kung Minkoff during a deep conversation. The latter was about to share with Stracke and Kyle Richards the instances she had faced racism. However, Stracke shut down the conversation, and it blew out of proportion.

In another episode of the Bravo series, the ladies go out to dinner during their getaway to Lake Tahoe. At the table, some of the ladies were pulling pranks on each other. Most of the housewives were in on the prank, except for Stracke, who felt excluded. After complaining to the group, Minkoff became annoyed and a fun moment turned into a big deal.

During that same night, Kung Minkoff left her coat in the living room. Sutton, considering it a good gesture and sign of no resentment, decided to take it to her room. However, when Stracke entered the bedroom, Kung Minkoff was allegedly in underwear which caused an embarrassing moment.

Sutton Stracke weighs in on what it’s like reliving the drama

Stracke recently appeared on Housewives Nightcap, where she reflected on the girls’ trip to Lake Tahoe which “was not fun” for the star.

“I hated every minute,” she revealed. “Watching it back, I’m like, ‘I get to revisit this minute by minute again.’ I’m not in a good space, yet again.”

Looking at the positive side of things of seeing yourself on TV again, Stracke said that she was able to learn from the mistakes she may have had during that trip.

“That’s what I love about it, it’s a growing experience and every moment we learn,” she said of watching the weekend trip again. “I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t grow from it. It’s a low point for me in the show and I can only go up from there.”

Sutton Stracke talks about her ‘biggest mistake’

After rewatching herself on TV, she has been able to reflect on how she dealt with the miscommunication with her co-star. Stracke admits that her “biggest mistake” was not listening to Kung Minkoff.

“I kind of interrupted her and I wish I hadn’t done that because I think she was making a really good point and I missed it,” Stracke said. “I think it was a presupposition on her part and I jumped into it and I wish that I hadn’t. She had a moment to get her voice out there and I took it away from her.

Stracke has since apologized to Kung Minkoff as she realized her mistake in the moment.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
