RHOBH’s Sutton Stracke Shocks Fans After Accusing Former Assistant Avi Gabay of Stealing $1 Million While Working as Her Asset Manager and Teaming Up With Garcelle Beauvais to Humiliate Her
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Sutton Stracke stunned viewers and castmates alike this week with explosive accusations against her former assistant-turned-asset-manager, Avi Gabay, accusing him of misappropriating more than
The Accusation Emerges
During a private dinner filmed for the show, Sutton revealed that she discovered irregularities in her asset portfolio after Gabay left his role managing her trusts, real-estate holdings, and boutique business interests. “I trusted him completely,” Sutton said tearfully. “He was the person I relied on to protect my future — and now I’m facing a million-dollar betrayal.”
Insiders say Sutton confronted Gabay a month ago after noticing missing funds and questionable transactions. According to her claim, “nearly $1,000,000 moved out of my accounts without explanation — funds meant for property maintenance, charitable endowments, and even the boutique’s expansion.”
Garcelle Beauvais Comes Into Play
In an unexpected turn, Sutton alleged that Garcelle Beauvais, who has been openly critical of Sutton’s spending and lifestyle on RHOBH, secretly colluded with Gabay. According to Sutton: “I found messages between Avi and Garcelle where they mocked me behind my back, made plans, and even set up public situations to shame me.”
Sutton claims that the duo orchestrated a scenario at a charity gala where she felt isolated and betrayed — and that the night ended with Garcelle commenting in front of guests about Sutton’s “financial mess” while Gabay silently observed. “It wasn’t just about the money. It was a power play,” Sutton says.
Fan and Cast Reactions
News of the allegations instantly rippled through the Bravo ecosystem. Castmates reacted with a mix of shock, disbelief, and caution. One insider revealed that co-star Kyle Richards texted Sutton: “I can’t believe this is happening. Let’s talk.” Others remain silent, wary of taking sides.
Fans on social media expressed equal astonishment:
“Sutton Stracke accusing Garcelle and her assistant of a million-dollar theft?! Wild.”
“Garcelle’s always been shady about Sutton — now this is next level.”
The hashtag #RHOBBrokeTrust began trending among reality-TV watchers, with memes and speculation flying fast about how the alleged scandal would play out onscreen.
What Evidence Has Been Cited?
Sutton furnished her legal team with bank statements, property deeds, and text-message records she says support her accusations. Among the documents: a sudden transfer of $450,000 labeled “investment reserve” from her main account, and a series of emails between Gabay and Garcelle about “handling the situation” and “making her realign.”
A source within Sutton’s circle says, “She’s ready to go to court. This isn’t a Housewives fight — this is real money, real betrayal.”
What Gabay and Beauvais Are Saying
Neither Avi Gabay nor Garcelle Beauvais has officially responded to Sutton’s public claims. Representatives for Garcelle issued a brief statement: “Ms. Beauvais denies involvement in any financial wrongdoing or harassment of Ms. Stracke.” No comment has been released on behalf of Gabay.
Legal Implications & Possible Fallout
If Sutton’s allegations are substantiated, Gabay could face charges of fraud, embezzlement, and breach of fiduciary duty. Garcelle’s alleged participation in the humiliation scheme could trigger defamation counterclaims or civil suits for aiding wrongdoing.
Industry insiders believe this could become one of RHOBH’s biggest storylines. Producers are reportedly scrambling to integrate the fallout into upcoming episodes, with behind-the-scenes filming of crisis meetings, legal consults, and emotional breakdowns already underway.
Sutton’s Path Forward
For Sutton Stracke, this moment marks something far more serious than typical reality-TV drama. “This is about trust, power, and control,” she told a close friend. “If someone who I loved and trusted could do this to me — someone I paid to protect my interests — then I have to fight back.”
Her boutique, real-estate portfolio, and charitable foothold now face scrutiny and reshaping. Friends say Sutton is in “full protective mode,” vetting new advisors, freezing asset movements, and preparing to present her side of the story to the world.
