Katie Ginella leaked her Real Housewives of Orange County reunion look, as a rumor surfaced that two significant others “backed out” of the reunion after agreeing to film.
At the beginning of the season, Katie and her husband, Matt Ginella, were close with Gretchen Rossi and her husband, Slade Smiley, as well as Jennifer Pedranti and her fiancé, Ryan Boyajian. But when Tamra Judge claimed Katie told a blogger that Gretchen accused Tamra of drugging her in the past, Katie eventually agreed that Gretchen said it. Later on, Katie claimed that Jennifer and Ryan also heard Gretchen say it, and Slade called Matt to get Katie to retract it. But Gretchen, Slade, and Jennifer have all denied Katie’s allegations.
Last week, castmates filmed the season 19 reunion.
Recently, Katie leaked a photo of her reunion look before the Bravo reveal, which is considered a no-no in the Housewives world.

Meanwhile, Cocktails and Gossip, via @just_bookin_around on TikTok, shared a rumor that Matt, Slade, and Ryan were “all signed up to come out at the reunion,” but Slade and Ryan “backed out” the morning it was filmed.
“Only Matt is showing at the reunion,” said the podcast host, who then speculated, “You know that Katie’s gonna be like, ‘Well, if this is all on the up and up and you don’t care about our receipts, then where are Slade and Ryan?'”
@just_bookin_around I feel like this was a ploy by Slade to make Matt look bad, that they wouldn’t get involved as a husband, since Slade got so much slack for getting involved, but Matt gets involved. What do you think? 🎧: Bravo & Cocktails, October 11 📸: Reddit #fyp #bravotv #bravo #peacock #rhoc
Earlier this month, on the RHOC: After Show, Emily Simpson shaded Katie’s actions.
“Here’s what doesn’t make sense to me: What Katie did is a million times worse than what Gretchen did. The difference to me is that Gretchen’s having a conversation in a private setting with friends, and she’s talking s**t, which we have done numerous times. However, Katie is the one who took that conversation, went to someone who has a platform, and told them about it,” said Emily.
Jennifer added, “Tamra is so needing anything against [Gretchen], and she knows Katie came for [Gretchen], so that is an obvious friendship that Tamra’s going to pursue [now]. That’s how Tamra operates … I would just tell [Katie] to be careful.”
