Sutton Stracke says attending the People’s Choice Awards with her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-stars was super awkward.
“If you can think about the most awkward family Thanksgiving dinner — just ramp it up a hundred times,” Sutton told Page Six on Thursday. “It was the most awkward dinner ever. It was like gritting our teeth awkward.”
Sutton blames much of the awkwardness on the seating arrangements, which were done by “the people at E!”
“They told us where to sit,” the reality star said. “They just seated us. I didn’t choose my seat.”
At the event, Sutton had to sit next to her frenemy Lisa Rinna. Kathy Hilton sat in between the Rinna Beauty founder and Erika Jayne.
Despite their drama, Sutton says she and Lisa spoke “a little” during the award show.
“It’s so dysfunctional,” she said of their relationship. “So, sometimes, one of us can say something funny, and we laugh because we feel awkward. It’s like, ‘Somebody just say something.’”
When it comes to RHOBH’s current break from filming, Sutton admits she’s enjoying the time away from the cameras.
“We’re always on a break between seasons, but it’s been nice to have a fall again,” Sutton shared. “I’m on the board for American Ballet Theatre, and I got to go to our fall gala. I hadn’t done that in a few years, so that was nice! My son is a freshman in college, and I got to go to parents’ weekend, and I’m having a store event — and having a store event without cameras is like normal life again, and I enjoy that!”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is expected to return for season 13 in 2023.
