Season 19 of The Real Housewives of Orange County has not been kind to Katie Ginella. For the first half of the season, all the drama swirled around Katie and her antics. However, Katie was banished from the second half of Season 19 after bombing a lie detector test. She only appeared in a couple of scenes.
While Katie was on pause, it was clear that the rest of the cast didn’t want to film with her. When Tamra Judge met with Katie to ask some questions about Gretchen Rossi and her fiancé, Slade Smiley, the ladies were furious.
So, will things get any better? Reports are currently all over the place…
A separate insider tells a different story about Katie Ginella’s RHOC reunion experience
The Season 19 RHOC reunion has taped, and there are conflicting reports about Katie’s experience. “Katie had a bad time at the reunion. She remains iced out of the group,” a source told RadarOnline. “It would be hard for her to move on after this, and it’s likely she’s going to be let go.”
However, a second source close to production had a different take. “This is absolutely not true. Katie left the reunion feeling better,” the insider stated. “Fans are freaking out she may never return.”
Earlier this season, Katie admitted to filming Shannon Beador without her consent. And she reportedly told a blogger that Gretchen alleged that she was drugged at “naked wasted” night. However, Katie’s falling out with Jennifer Pedranti was sad because the duo had a close friendship. After Katie reportedly failed the lie detector test, Jennifer decided that she couldn’t trust her.
It will be difficult for Katie to return if she has no allies on the show. And as we all know, Bravo doesn’t comment on Real Housewives casting for upcoming seasons.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
