It wouldn’t be a season of The Actual Housewives of Orange County with out main drama—however this time, it’s not simply the same old on-screen shade. Rumors are swirling that solid member Katie Ginella could also be getting iced out by producers and her co-stars as filming wraps on Season 19.
Sources near manufacturing informed The U.S. Solar that Katie has been lacking from a number of key solid occasions within the again half of the season—and notably absent from the group journey to Amsterdam earlier this Might, an indicator of the present’s high-stakes drama. Whereas Bravo has but to make any official assertion, insiders recommend Katie’s decreased presence will not be her alternative.
“There’s been pressure behind the scenes,” the insider revealed, pointing to ongoing battle between Katie Ginella and RHOC veteran Emily Simpson, in addition to returning star Gretchen Rossi. “Actuality TV doesn’t appear to be for her, however she has been making an attempt… I don’t know if she’s achieved for good or not. I’d assume she received’t come again subsequent season—and the choice will both be mutual or coming from the producers.”
However let’s be actual: when a Housewife abruptly disappears from main episodes and group scenes, it’s often an indication that the solid—and the community—are turning their backs. One thing viewers won’t be followers of.
Katie’s absence is very placing given the solid’s high-profile Amsterdam getaway. Leaked images present the ladies having fun with boat rides and exploring the town—with out Katie in sight. For a sequence that thrives on full-cast dynamics, her MIA standing feels extra like an exclusion than a coincidence.
This isn’t Katie’s first rocky trip with the franchise, both. Her debut season noticed frequent clashes with Heather Dubrow, setting the stage for an uphill battle to search out her footing among the many longtime Housewives.
In the meantime, the remainder of the solid isn’t precisely crusing easily both. Tamra Choose, 57, reportedly stop after which rejoined filming mid-season, and Gretchen Rossi’s return after a decade-long hiatus has added to the shifting dynamics.
