The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Sutton Stracke has revealed she was rushed to hospital following her medical emergency while taping the season 13 reunion of the hit show.
Speaking to People, the 52-year-old said she was transferred to urgent care, before heading to the emergency room, after she was seen ”shaking” on camera and vomiting behind-the-scenes.
“I was burning the proverbial candle at both ends and the wick had run out, and my body just shut down. It was really scary,” Stracke told the publication.

“I was starting to not feel well midway through the reunion, and I kept asking Garcelle [Beauvais], ‘Is it hot in here?’ And it was freezing in that space,” she explained.
Stracke told People that her blood pressure “soared up”.
The reality star and businesswoman added that she was diagnosed with exhaustion and later found out she had bronchitis.

“And after a chest X-ray and blood work, they said, ‘You have suffered from exhaustion,’ which sounds stupid, but it’s a real thing, ‘and dehydration.’”
During the reunion, as seen in a teaser for the show, Stracke starts shaking on camera and falls back in her seat, before she’s attended to by a medical worker on set.
“You’re shaking, you’re shaking. You are really shaking,” Andy Cohen said as her castmates stood up around her.
Speaking about the incident to Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast, Stracke said: “I was really down for about 10 days. I had to shut my life down, which is very difficult for me.”
“And it took about six weeks for me to feel 100 percent again.”
“I ended up going to the emergency room with truly one of my best friends, Garcelle [Beauvais],” she said, before thanking her castmate for her support throughout the emergency.
