On a recent episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Diana Jenkins and Sutton Stracke engaged in a shocking verbal altercation at Garcelle Beauvais‘s birthday party. At the time, Sutton called Diana a “mother-f**ker” and “soulless.”
Lisa Rinna, who couldn’t attend the party, was informed about the fight by Diana herself, during a one-on-one scene. In the next episode, at a tense luncheon, Lisa called out Sutton for making the insults – this stoked the rage of many fans, who felt Sutton was blameless.
According to a cryptic tweet from Lisa, part of the story was edited out.
“I shot a lovely breakfast scene with Sutton where she filled me in on what happened at Garcelle’s party,” wrote the actress on July 13. “It’s too bad they’re not airing it so that we can see both sides of the story.”
Lisa clarified in the comments: “I wasn’t at Garcelle’s party so I can only go off on what I was told, but the stories Diana and Sutton told me were entirely different. Like watching two different movies.”

What exactly was Lisa told at breakfast with Sutton? Did Sutton forget to mention her controversial insults? Is this why Lisa felt the need to confront her at the luncheon? At this point, it’s anyone’s best guess.
Most castmates are hesitant to expose ‘editing,’ unless the unseen footage is important to the story. Perhaps the hidden scene would explain Lisa’s actions at the luncheon. Or maybe something bigger is afoot.
We’re living in an era, it seems, when reality stars must defend each of their actions. Many ‘Housewives’ are afraid of the haters, who gather together with pitchforks on Twitter, ready to attack any castmate who errs.
Is Lisa building her case?
