EXCLUSIVE: Source Claims Crystal Kung Minkoff Pushed Sutton Stracke Accuser To Go Public With Racism Allegation!
Sutton Stracke has come under fire after an alleged ex-friend of her daughter, Porter Stracke, used TikTok to call the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star a racist.
However, there’s more to this developing story, according to a source who reached out to AllAboutTheTea.com.
Elissa Kimm claimed in a since-deleted TikTok video that she’s one person referenced in the pool story that sits in the center of the unfolding drama between Sutton and Crystal King Minkoff.
“Me when I cut off my hs bff of 5 years bc her mom was racist to me and now she’s a real housewife getting called out for being racist and her response is ‘my white daughter had a chinese friend’ on tv,” Elissa Kimm wrote on the video, adding that she was “not Chinese.”
Twitter detectives hunted down high school photos of Kimm with Sutton’s daughter, seemingly confirming a past relationship between Kimm and Porter.
A storyline from last season was recently revived on the Bravo show after Crystal hinted at a “problematic” conversation she had with Sutton during a featured cast getaway in Lake Tahoe.
“My white child is with Black girls in there, a Chinese girl was in the Jacuzzi and I’m like, ‘This is what it should be,’” Sutton told Crystal, in previously unaired footage.
A source is now claiming that Kimm reached out to Crystal after watching Sutton tell the pool story on last week’s episode of RHOBH.
“This Asian ‘friend’ mentioned by Sutton DM’D Crystal after watching Sutton speak about her daughter’s high school friend group spending time in their hot tub,” the snitch dished.
The source claimed that Kimm relayed her accusation about Sutton’s allegedly racist behavior to Crystal.
“Crystal encouraged this so-called former friend to go public with this BS,” the source alleged.
The insider added that “Crystal knows that she has NOTHING” on Sutton.
“It’s about my family and how I have raised them to have multicultural friends,” Sutton told the ladies, during the episode. “We have a pool, we have a Jacuzzi, everybody’s welcome. That’s it.”
Watch What Happens Live viewers know that fans overwhelmingly supported Sutton in a viewer poll conducted during last Wednesday’s show. Crystal quickly aimed a new veiled accusation at her co-star, after her original narrative was flattened by public opinion.
Garcelle, the show’s first black cast member, said that she didn’t find anything wrong with Sutton’s comment, during last week’s episode. 91% of WWHL voters agreed with her after the episode aired.
“Well, that story was not problematic,” Crystal told Cohen, who asked, “There’s another story?”
“Look, Sutton and I know what was said, and we’ve spoken at length about it, and she has apologized to me privately and publicly,” Crystal replied.
The 39-year-old reality star did not offer details about Sutton’s apology.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Wednesdays at 8 pm, ET, on Bravo.
