“I always liked Lisa. I mean, I didn’t last season … but I always liked Lisa for what she did.

According to Sutton, she and Lisa aren’t currently in touch. “I think we needed a break,” Sutton explained to Us. “And hopefully that will change, but I think we both just needed a little timeout. Like kindergartners, we just need to sit in our chairs.”
Sutton and Lisa clashed in season 12 over Sutton’s repeated claim that Lisa never thanked her for taking her to Elton John’s 2019 Oscars party. The topic had come up before, but Lisa seemed to finally hit her breaking point last year.
“Come after me as much as you f–king want, but do not bring up my children or my husband, period, end of story,” Lisa yelled at Sutton. “And if you do, I will come for you to the end of days. If you come for my husband and kids, I will f–king hunt you down!”
Despite the drama, Sutton said in
