Bozoma “Boz” Saint John continues to navigate the ongoing drama on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, addressing Sutton Stracke’s comments about success while reflecting on her evolving friendship with Dorit Kemsley.
Boz Opens Up About Sutton, Dorit, and Her Future on the Show
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 48-year-old addressed the accusations that Dorit Kemsley used her as an ally, called out Garcelle Beauvais for a “low blow,” and revealed her plans for the upcoming reunion. She also hinted at whether she’d return for Season 15 of Bravo’s hit series.
Boz Reacts to Sutton’s Infamous “Wallet” Comment
When asked about Sutton Stracke’s now-notorious “wallet” remark, Boz suggested that Sutton used it as a way to assert superiority over Dorit Kemsley.
“It was her way of saying, ‘I’m better than Dorit’—at least in her mind,” Boz explained.
According to Boz, Sutton’s comments were particularly hurtful because they targeted Dorit during her financial struggles amidst her separation from Paul “PK” Kemsley.
“PK sent her this long email about their finances and how he’d handle them. It was a really tough time for her, so I think Sutton’s remark was meant to dig into that vulnerability and say, ‘I’m better than you,’” Boz noted. “She talked about her businesses and success, and I’m just like, ‘Girl, please. Don’t boast unless you’ve built a solid foundation.’”
Given that Sutton often boasts about her success following her divorce from Christian Stracke, Boz questioned the source of her wealth.
“Let’s not talk about money that isn’t yours or successes that don’t belong to you,” she said.
Boz also accused Sutton of playing the victim in situations she often creates, calling her behavior “calculated.”
“I think it’s very calculated,” Boz said.
Boz’s Friendship with Dorit and Her Response to Critics
Boz acknowledged that her friendship with Dorit Kemsley developed under unique circumstances.
“I don’t know if we’d have connected as much if I’d joined the show in her sixth season,” she admitted. “When I met her, she was in a vulnerable place. I came in as someone willing to listen, without the baggage of years of drama.”
When asked if Dorit used her as a “buoy,” Boz admitted it was possible but wasn’t offended.
“Maybe, but I’m not offended. In life, you need people to lean on when you’re drowning. I think our friendship has grown beyond that,” she said.
Boz also expressed surprise that her friendship with Dorit caused tension with other cast members.
“I’m surprised it’s become such a big deal that my friendship with Dorit would offend others,” she added.
Boz’s Thoughts on Garcelle and the Upcoming Reunion
While Boz hasn’t bonded with everyone on the cast, she shared her admiration for Erika Jayne and Garcelle Beauvais.
