Sutton Stracke is reflecting on the state of her friendship with Garcelle Beauvais in an exclusive preview for the upcoming season of *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills*. The season 15 premiere is set to air on December 4.

In the clip, fellow housewife Bozoma “Boz” Saint John asks Stracke what transpired after Beauvais abruptly left the season 14 reunion, where she announced her departure from the cast.

“That was very rough, I think, what happened with Garcelle,” Stracke, 54, shares. “I don’t know. No idea.”

During a confessional, Stracke reveals that the last interaction she had with Beauvais, 59, was at the reunion. “She was walking out on me and everybody else,” Stracke states. “I texted again and again and again. She did not text back.”

At lunch with the group, Dorit Kemsley inquires whether Stracke believes Beauvais viewed their relationship as more of “an alliance than a friendship.”

“I have a hard time believing that,” Stracke replies.

In a confessional, Stracke becomes emotional, stating that she “loved Garcelle.” She remarks, “We were best friends. I didn’t see her as just an ally. I just don’t like people to talk about her like that.”

Stracke acknowledges the uncertainty surrounding what led to Beauvais’s departure. “She’s not speaking to me, she’s not speaking to you, she’s not speaking to you,” she remarks to her group. “So, we don’t know. We can play the guessing game for eternity. Because of that, I had to really just take a couple of months to be quiet and be calm and remember who I am.”

Kyle Richards notes that Stracke behaves differently in one-on-one situations compared to when she was with Beauvais. “Now that Garcelle is not here, I would like to see Sutton just be the Sutton I know one-on-one and be consistent,” she states.

Beauvais announced her departure from *RHOBH* after five seasons in March, citing her family as a significant reason. “Their last year of high school is next year, and I want to be a part of that,” she explained. She also mentioned numerous upcoming projects but did not provide specifics.

Despite leaving the show, Beauvais hinted at the possibility of returning, stating, “Andy Cohen said I can come back anytime, the door will always be open, so you never know, I might pop back in sometime.”

As the previous season wrapped up, viewers witnessed Beauvais refraining from participating in the cast photo at the reunion and declaring, “I’m out,” as she exited the stage. She expressed frustration over a lack of acknowledgment from her castmates regarding her efforts to repair their friendships, stating, “Everybody jumped at me and I felt like I was on an island by myself.”

In her final exit, she said, “I’m done. It’s been an amazing ride, I’m so grateful for the opportunity, but I’m done.”

Fans can tune in to the season 15 premiere of *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* on Thursday, Dec. 4, at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. Subsequent episodes will be available for streaming the following day.
