Emily Simpson hinted that Tamra Judge and Katie Ginella have the “fakest friendship” she’s “ever seen,” and shared where Katie now stands with the cast after the reunion. The Real Housewives of Orange County star also teased Gretchen Rossi‘s reunion receipts.
On the season finale, Tamra showed screenshots of Gretchen allegedly ‘liking’ homophobic posts. But later on, Gina Kirschenheiter said there was no actual evidence that Gretchen liked the content. In the final moments, a source suggested that Tamra leaked information to a blogger and plotted to take Gretchen down. Then, in a reunion trailer, Gretchen hinted at proof showing she was allegedly set up.
On Virtual Reali-Tea, Emily hinted at where Katie stands with the cast following the reunion.
“I don’t think that she left the reunion like reuniting with any of us at all,” said Emily. “I think she went in having the expectation that all of us are supposed to apologize to her, but I don’t feel as if that was reciprocated in any way, because I do feel like there are a lot of things that she should also apologize for. She’s made it a mission to defame all of us offline and to perpetuate false stories about us. I mean, there’s a lot of things … that we didn’t bring up because we just didn’t want to bring them up, but we’re aware and we know about it.”
“It’s hard to forge a path forward with someone when they didn’t take the time or effort to try to build any type of friendship from the get-go,” she went on. “And as far as her and Tamra, I mean, if that’s not the fakest friendship I’ve ever seen, I can’t even call that a friendship. What is that?”
Emily then pointed out how Tamra was “the one” who “brought up the blogger in the beginning” – and accused Katie of “record[ing] Shannon” last year.
“I mean, Tamra’s the one that put everything out there. So, if Katie wants to be pissed at anyone … Tamra should be number one on her list,” said Emily. “[It] doesn’t even make any sense. I mean, that’s not even logical.”
As for the reunion, Emily then shared that Gretchen had “forensics” done, with a “binder of information” concerning her claim that Tamra set up the homophobic-post issues. Although Emily doesn’t think either Tamra or Gretchen showed a “smoking gun,” she believes that Gretchen “spoke to [the issue] really well.”
