Dorit Kemsley certainly caused a splash on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills when she showed up late to Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave’s retreat. The group seemed to be divided later at Denise Richards’ dinner party, when Kyle Richards called Dorit out for saying she was late because she had to take her children to school when she appeared to be having a “full photo shoot with glam.” So where does Sutton Stracke stand on the whole ordeal? The newcomer explained that she’s taking Kyle’s side this time.
When asked for her opinion on the drama between Kyle and Dorit during an episode of The Daily Dish podcast, which you can listen to above, Sutton responded, “Look, I was 100 percent with Kyle on this one.”
Sutton went on to explain her reasoning. “We got up really early and left and honestly I didn’t look my cutest, and I’m just like in normal workout wear. And all of a sudden, Dorit shows up like, you know, workout Barbie, and was late. I am totally on Kyle’s side on this one.”
It sounds like Sutton didn’t buy it when Dorit said that she had to take Phoenix and Jagger to school.
“Dorit, we all left our child. She kept saying, ‘Well, I had my children, and I had to.’ I had my children here, too. I had to have someone take them to school, too,” she continued. “You know, I had to make sure their lunches were made, too. Yet I got here, and it’s a workout thing. I didn’t care so much about what I looked like, I just kind of wanted to be there and be on time.”
Ultimately, Sutton respects the fact that it is up to Dorit to decide how she spends her time.
“She’s gonna do what she wants to do. And honestly, if I could have looked like that and been on time, I would have done it in two seconds. Unfortunately, this is like a ponytail, gym clothes moment,” Sutton explained. “Hats off to her for looking good. No, I shouldn’t say hats off. I think she had a visor on. Visors off.”
The retreat drama wasn’t the only time Sutton took Kyle’s side. When asked if she agreed when one of the women said that Kyle likes to be the center of attention, Sutton responded, “I don’t think that’s true at all.”
“I think that Kyle and I are very similar people, where we like to take care of people, and make sure everybody’s having fun,” Sutton explained. “I see a lot of myself in her like that. I don’t think Kyle needs attention on her all the time at all. I don’t. If she does do that, it’s because she’s afraid that people might be like, bored or not having fun. And so, it’s a way to liven spirits, it’s not about, ‘I need attention.’”
