Sutton Stracke has apologised for her “insensitive” reaction to Dorit Kemsley’s home invasion.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was held at gunpoint during an armed robbery at her home last October, while her husband PK was away in London and the couple’s two young children were asleep in their rooms.
In a sneak peek of season 12 of the Bravo show, Sutton arrives for a meeting with an emotional Kyle Richards the day after the robbery.

Sutton said: “Aw, it’s gonna make me cry!” before speaking about her allergies.
Kyle replied: “After what happened today, with Dorit? It’s terrifying.”
As Kyle spoke about how she was trying to help Dorit and PK pick up the pieces, Sutton interjected:Â “I’ve been putting out fires all day today, too. It might just be that kind of day.”
She then explained how she was attempting to bring a designer from France over to LA for a party at her store and immigration is giving her a hard time.

Kyle pointed out how Sutton’s dilemma was low-stake compared to Dorit fearing for her life, to which Sutton replied: “It’s all relative. I mean, I wasn’t held at gunpoint. I’m sorry.”
Kyle then exclaimed in her confessional:Â “What is wrong with you?! Are you that wrapped up in yourself that you’re not grasping what just happened to our friend?”
Sutton has since apologised for her reaction, explaining she didn’t understand the “complete seriousness of the situation”.
She told Entertainment Tonight: “That morning, it was confusing. I don’t follow tabloids, and that’s how everybody was finding out what had happened to Dorit.”
“So a lot of things were unclear to me, and I don’t think I understood the complete seriousness of the situation. I think when things unfold we might have some more clarity as to my reaction. I think that it comes across very insensitive.”
“It was wrong,” Sutton said of comparing her morning to Dorit’s traumatic experience. “I mean, it was wrong and my brain just wasn’t in the moment, I think. And I think when your brain isn’t in the moment, that is being insensitive. That’s basically the definition.”
Season 12 of RHOBH premieres in Ireland and the UK on hayu on May 12.
