Sutton Stracke for many fans on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' is a gift that keeps on giving with her sassy one-liners and tons of attitude. She is also known for being an extremely generous gift giver and what's not to love about that especially on a show like 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'.

But for once it seems that Sutton's gift for gifting was usurped by the other housewives particularly Sutton's arch-nemesis Crystal Minkoff who got Garcelle Beauvais gifts for her birthday while Sutton, her so-called bestie, seems to have forgotten. But rather than just apologize or quietly skip the subject, Sutton seems to think the best deflection is distraction and goes onto make a scene with Crystal. Sutton is still furious that Crystal used the word 'violated' to describe how she felt when Sutton walked in on her naked during their trip Lake Tahoe. She feels it's too strong a word and some stronger words soon resulted because of it. While Garcelle tried to play mediator between the two, Sutton asked Crystal  "Why are you so defensive?! What was going on that you're so defensive about?" "You're upset because you're jealous, period," Crystal replied, not answering Sutton's question. Sutton then stormed off, but mid-storm off says, turns around and says "Jealous of what? Your ugly leather pants?!" Crystal clearly glad to have got under Sutton's skin, stood watching her storm off with a smug smile on her face.

Fans felt that all this drama had less to do with hurt feelings and more to do with Sutton simply wanting to change the topic. One fan tweeted, "Sutton didn’t bring a gift, felt stupid and tried to deflect to Crystal who gives zero fcks about her feelings #RHOBH". Others agreed with one fan tweeting, "So Sutton is embarrassed that she didn’t bring a gift is gonna project is on Crystal?.. #RHOBH".



 



 

Others were surprised that Sutton who brings gifts to everything, let this actually valid opportunity for gifting giving pass her by. One viewer tweeted, "Sutton would bring a gift to the opening of a paper bag, but didn’t bring one to Garcelle’s mini birthday surprise? #RHOBH". Another viewer agreed saying, "Sutton is mad she didn’t bring a gift even though she was TOLD about the birthday surprise??? #RHOBH"
