PEOPLE’sexclusive sneak peekatThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' season 12 premiere saw Stracke, 50, make a controversial comparison between trivial business issues and Kemsley’s harrowing robbery. And even before the episode drops on Wednesday, Stracke has already owned up and apologized for what she said.
“It was wrong,” Stracke toldEntertainment Tonight. “I mean, it was wrong and my brain just wasn’t in the moment, I think. And I think when your brain isn’t in the moment, that is being insensitive. That’s basically the definition.”
Seeing the LAPD footage of the invasion helped put the severity of the situation into perspective for Stracke. Shortly after the incident, Stracke toldETit was “a hard thing” not only for Kemsley, 45, but also for the entireRHOBHcast.

InPEOPLE’s exclusive sneak peekof Wednesday’s premiere, Stracke speaks withKyle Richardsafter hearing Kemsley was held at gunpoint in her home in Encino, California.
Richards, 53, points out how “terrifying” the robbery was, but Stracke says, “I’ve been putting out fires all day today, too. But it might just be that kind of day.”
As Stracke explains that she was having trouble bringing a French designer into L.A. for her business event, Richards says that Stracke’s issues can’t compare to what Kemsley endured.
But Stracke disagrees: “It’s all relative. I mean, I wasn’t held at gunpoint. I’m sorry.”

In October, male intruders invaded Kemsley’s home as her two children were asleep. She was held at gunpoint androbbed of nearly $1 million in valuables. Her husband,Paul “PK” Kemsley, was in London at the time but hopped on a flight home after hearing the news.
Speaking to PEOPLE after the incident, Kemsley said it’s"something that’s truly affected" her.

Kemsley later said onAccess Hollywood’sHousewives Nightcapthat the home invasion will “absolutely” be discussed onRHOBH’s new season.
“We had just started filming when it happened,” she said in January. “Because of the outcome and my kids not knowing what had happened, it was very important for me that normal life resumed. It was also important that, you know, the robbers, they can take all the material things but you don’t want to feel like they take your livelihood.”
Season 12 ofThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hillspremieres Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
