Sutton Stracke has denied dating John C. Kelly after a photograph showing him kissing her cheek sparked speculation about their relationship.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star told Entertainment Tonight that the image was taken while she was with several other people and had not been intended to signal a romance.
“I was there with several people. And you know, it was an innocent cute picture that I had no idea was going to make such an impact,” Stracke said.
Although she initially appeared to make the relationship Instagram official by sharing the picture, Stracke said Kelly is not her boyfriend. She added: “I’m dating a lot.”
Stracke had previously declined to comment when asked about Kelly earlier in the week.
Kelly has been linked in reports to allegations involving three women who said he secretly recorded their sexual encounters between 2011 and 2012. He reportedly pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 days of community service.
