The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills\u00a0cast member\u00a0Sutton Stracke\u00a0is happy to be back on the East Coast. There, she met up with the youngest of her three kids, 18-year-old college freshman\u00a0James Stracke.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Bel Air-based diamond holder\u00a0returned to Spartanburg in northwestern South Carolina, offering a rare look into\u00a0James\u2019s first year at Wofford College\u00a0as part of Parents\u2019 Weekend. She posted \u201cGo Terriers!\u201d in one Instagram Story, happy to be back in the town of\u00a0her own alma mater, Converse University. In her own words, \u201cloving being back at the haunt in Spartanburg for parents weekend with James,\u201d sharing an awe-worthy snap of mother and son smiling outside. Another snap showed James with a group of his classmates and a few of their furry friends.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s more, the Georgia-raised Housewife gave a peek at the yellow trees of her old stomping grounds with the season in full swing. \u201cLove fall in Spartanburg,\u201d she captioned the recent post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was only this year that James \u2014 the son of Sutton and her ex-husband,\u00a0Christian Stracke\u00a0\u2014 headed to college for the first time, soon after\u00a0he graduated from Loyola High School. Sutton was there to see him off for his first day. In an Aug. 24 Instagram\u00a0reel, Sutton shared an inside look at the dorm room, wishing her youngest only the best as he joined the graduating class of 2029.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBaby bird is free and out of the nest,\u201d Sutton wrote. \u201cWishing you the best and most wonderful next four years full of friendship and love, courage and strength, knowledge and kindness, growth and wisdom. I love you, James.\u201d<\/p>\n
James is the third and final of Sutton\u2019s three children to head to college.\u00a0Porter Stracke, 23, who\u00a0also majored in history, graduated from The College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and is\u00a0currently enrolled in Brooklyn Law School\u00a0in New York City.<\/p>\n
As\u00a0Jennifer Tilly\u00a0told her BFF Sutton in the\u00a0RHOBH\u00a0Season 14 premiere, once learning of Porter\u2019s decision to go to law school. “You raised ’em right,\u201d said the\u00a0Bride of Chucky\u00a0star. \u201cI don’t think your kids are going to be partying it up, stealing your credit cards, buying drugs. They’re like kids from the 1950s.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile,\u00a0Phillip Stracke, 21, continues his studies at The Citadel, a senior military college in Charleston, South Carolina.<\/p>\n
In September,\u00a0Sutton joined the middle child\u00a0at\u00a0Charleston\u2019s By The Way restaurant, owned by fellow Bravolebs\u00a0Craig Conover\u00a0and\u00a0Austen Kroll\u00a0of\u00a0Southern Charm.\u00a0Shep Rose,\u00a0Whitney Sudler-Smith, and his mom,\u00a0Patricia Altschul, also joined them for the parents\u2019 weekend reunion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Sutton explained in an Instagram reel during the visit, \u201cI\u2019m here in my favorite place in the world, Lowcountry of South Carolina, with this beautiful ocean behind me. It\u2019s a very special weekend for my son at his college here. And my family is coming, and my very best friends are coming. I\u2019m looking forward to spending the last few days of summer with all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier this year,\u00a0Todd Chrisley<\/strong>\u00a0received a pardon from the President. However,\u00a0Patricia Altschul<\/strong>\u00a0is a tougher sell. Unlike POTUS, this\u00a0Southern Charm\u00a0star refuses to absolve Todd of his verbal crimes. Instead, this queen honey bee is standing ten wealthy toes down, adamant that Charleston is not a place for a \u201cfelon\u201d like Todd.<\/p>\n Todd and Patricia are the reality feud I never saw coming.\u00a0Their tiny tit for tat\u00a0started after Todd\u2019s release from prison. \u201cDuring the [post-prison] press conference, I had stated that we are doing a hotel and it\u2019s going to be near Charleston, South Carolina,\u201d Todd explained. In response, Patricia said, \u201cWell, there goes the neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n Well, Todd did not like that. So, he made several jests about Patricia, which mainly focused on her older age and her finances. Overall, it was gross.<\/p>\n So, recently clapping back via\u00a0Decider, Pat quipped, \u201cHe\u2019s very irrelevant. I said four words\u2014there goes the neighborhood \u2014 and he went on, and he did a whole program about me. It was just a comment in passing.\u201d Nevertheless, Patricia stands by her original stance, saying, \u201cWe just don\u2019t need any more\u00a0felons in Charleston.\u201d<\/p>\n Todd and his wife,\u00a0Julie Chrisley, were indicted on charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the United States back in 2019. They swore they were innocent. Yet, they were still found guilty. In all,\u00a0The Chrisleys: Back to Reality\u00a0stars received a combined 19 years in federal prison, but thanks to their pardons, they walked out of their prison cells for good in May of this year.<\/p>\n And now, Ms. Pat wants them to heed her words and not walk toward\u00a0her in Charleston.<\/p>\n Southern Charm Season 11 premieres on November 19, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET\/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock, or Hayu in Canada, the UK, and Ireland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills\u00a0cast member\u00a0Sutton Stracke\u00a0is happy to be back on the East Coast.
