Sutton Stracke has long been candid about the complexities of her relationship with her mother, Reba, and during a recent episode, she opened up about how challenging that connection can be. In a raw moment, Sutton shared how her mother’s emotional distance often left her feeling neglected, especially as Reba seemed more focused on her own personal issues than on Sutton’s well-being.
However, it didn’t take long for the conversation to take a turn when Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp weighed in on the situation, offering their unsolicited opinions on Reba. Tamra even went as far as to call Reba the “new villain” of the season, suggesting that the tension between Sutton and her mother wasn’t just one-sided. Teddi chimed in, making a bold statement that Reba and Sutton were “the same human being,” adding fuel to the already intense discussion.

Naturally, Sutton wasn’t pleased with Judge’s comments about her mother. In an interview with ExtraTV, Sutton made her feelings clear: “I’m ignoring that. She doesn’t know my mother.” She further explained how important it is for her to share her family’s story with the world, stating, “I think for me introducing my family, it’s vulnerable and it’s very real.”
Sutton also took a moment to remind viewers of the humanity behind these personal struggles, encouraging people to be more compassionate. “I guess just to people out there to remember, you know, these are just real people and to be kind,” she said.
