She’s on pause! After last night’s Real Housewives of Orange County episode showed Katie Ginella fail a lie detector test and running out of Emily Simpson’s house, the word on the street is that she’ll be off the show for “a while.” So, what does that mean for her future as a RHOC Housewife?
Katie Ginella won’t be seen with her RHOC castmates for a few weeks
RHOC Season 19 Episode 8 ended with Katie fleeing Emily’s house, confused by the lie detector test results. Out on the sidewalk, she had an emotional conversation with producers while the rest of the cast celebrated their successful take-down.
“No one is going to believe me. But I can lie my head at night knowing I told the truth. This might be like the last time anyone sees me with this group of women,” Katie said in her confessional.
According to OK Magazine’s sources, she really meant that. Their insider said the August 28 episode marked Katie’s “last appearance for a while on the show.” The rest of the cast wanted nothing to do with her.
“It was clear all of the women had planned to band together to take Katie down, and they ended up refusing to film with her,” the insider continued.
Some of what we’ll see in the upcoming episodes is a cast trip to Amsterdam. Katie didn’t go. In an interview, she said the producers believed she needed a break from the group. OK’s insiders echoed that sentiment.
“As she mentioned in an interview, she did want to film at the cast trip and previously said she was grateful to Bravo for temporarily removing her from the situation, but they still thought it was best for her to sit out the cast trip,” the source claimed.
Although this is the last we’ve seen of Katie for “a while,” this isn’t the last we’ve seen of her. For now, she’s still a Housewife. The source teased that we can expect to see more from her later on in RHOC Season 19.
“Fans of Katie’s can stay tuned, though, as this is not the end of her story on TV,” the insider concluded.
The Real Housewives of Orange County continues on Bravo every Thursday at 8/7c. Stream it the next day on Peacock or Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
