Sutton Stracke refuses to take sides in Kathy Hilton and Kyle Richards’ ongoing feud
Sutton Stracke is like Switzerland, she’s staying neutral.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 51, is definitely not picking sides when it comes to the feud between Kyle Richards and Kathy Hilton’s sibling rivalry.
“I’m trying to stay out of family issues,” Stracke told Page Six exclusively at the American Ballet Theatre’s June Gala on Thursday night. “I think I love them both dearly.
“I hope they work something out. I know they will eventually, time heals all wounds and they’re both wonderful women.”
“Since I’ve known them, this is the first time I’ve seen anything,” she added, referring to their frosty relationship, “so, I only wish them well and I know that they both love each other at the end of the day.”
Richards, 54, previously clashed with Hilton over several issues.
They once stopped speaking for years after the “Halloween Ends” actress produced a show called “American Woman” — which was loosely based on their late mother, Kathleen Richards — and didn’t seek approval from her oldest sister.
And Kyle’s husband, Mauricio Umansky, claims that Kathy and her husband, Rick Hilton, were “extremely upset” with them after he left Rick’s real estate company, Hilton & Hyland, to start his own.
“He and Kathy held tremendous anger toward us, which is not the way I choose to live my life,” Umansky, 52, wrote in his memoir, “The Dealmaker.“
“Naturally, Kyle was very hurt by their reaction, and it was a difficult pill for her to swallow.”
However, Kyle, who also clashed with her and Kathy’s other sister, Kim Richards, 58, appears to have mended fences with her siblings.
The actress shared a video on Thursday, showing the three sisters dancing alongside some of their daughters to the Sister Sledge hit “We Are Family.”
“Pre wedding celebration with my sisters and our offspring 👯♀️,” Kyle captioned the video.
Kathy, 64, commented under Kyle’s post, writing, “❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Such a beautiful night with ‘Our Family’ !!! We love you @whittlesdavis@Lukewhite 🤍🤍🤍.”
Despite the past drama, Stracke, who first joined “RHOBH” as a recurring character in Season 10, promises an exciting new season of the reality show.

“I think this season is going to be really different,” she told Page Six. “There’s a different energy to it. I think you’re going to see friendships develop, I think you’re going to see our personal stories come out more. We take an amazing trip and I think the viewers are really going to get to know us.”
One Beverly Hills “Housewife” who viewers won’t get to see anymore is Lisa Rinna, who announced her departure from the Bravo show earlier this year.
Despite the pair’s sometimes fraught friendship, Stracke only had nice things to say about Rinna, 59.
“I think she needed kind of a break and now it’s going really well for her,” the Sutton Concept founder opined. “She’s shooting ‘American Horror Story,’ she’s an actress, so I think she’s in her element now.”
Other celebs at the ballet gala included Mick Jagger and his longtime girlfriend, Melanie Hamrick, Julianne Hough, Katie Holmes and Candace Bushnell.
