Season 18 of Real Housewives of Orange County is gifting us vintage OC vibes. The show is finally lighter but still serving up plenty of drama. And the recent cast dinner was a perfect example of that. Tamra Judge spouted off at Shannon Beador about her drinking. And Emily Simpson slammed Jennifer Pedranti and her broken Rolex. But now Gina Kirschenheiter has some concerns about how close Emily and Tamra have become.
Gina Kirschenheiter blames Tamra Judge for Emily Simpson’s behavior
In a preview of Season 18, Episode 6, Emily and Heather Dubrow met up to dissect the previous night’s disaster. Emily is doubling down on Jennifer being clueless because she owes people money, but is still sporting her Rolex. And it is broken, so Jennifer doesn’t even know what time it is.
Meanwhile, Heather feels “so f*cking betrayed” by Gina. Fancy Pants can’t get past the fact that Gina knew about Katie Ginella’s paparazzi claims, and didn’t tell her at the time. Instead, she let Katie unleash the rumor to her co-stars.
Then, Tamra and Jennifer discussed the dinner while lounging on the beach. Jennifer explained that Shannon and Gina stopped by to visit, and they talked about how close Emily and Tamra were. “And I feel like Emily, it’s changed Emily. It’s like her and Tamra do this thing where they’re like, ‘High five. Who could be a bigger b*tch? I could be a bigger b*tch.’ And that is not my friend,” Gina stated.
Of course, Tamra was surprised. But then she decided to double down on her stance the previous night about Shannon’s relationship with alcohol. According to Tamra, Shannon is playing “victim” and refusing to admit that she has an issue with alcohol.
And at a boutique, Gina, Katie, and Shannon shopped and chatted. While Katie knows that Gina is on Heather’s side, Gina noted that Heather is “pissed” at her and giving her the icy shoulder. And finally, Shannon insisted that Tamra and her remarks wouldn’t cause Shannon to head in the wrong direction. Let’s see if Shannon can tune out Tamra’s remarks.
