As filming for Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC) Season 19 approaches, it’s clear that the drama is far from over — and this time, it’s all about Emily Simpson and Katie Ginella. While many may have assumed that the show’s drama would take a backseat after the departure of Alexis Bellino, insiders told OK Magazine! that behind the scenes, a significant and escalating feud between Emily and Katie has been quietly brewing. And, from the looks of it, this tension is set to boil over when the cameras start rolling.

The conflict between Emily and Katie started in Season 18, and it centers around a claim made by Katie about Emily’s kids. According to Katie, when her daughter babysat for Emily’s children, they allegedly talked negatively about fellow RHOC cast member Heather Dubrow. During the reunion special, Katie stood by her story, stating that her daughter had no reason to lie about what happened.

We even interviewed Katie Ginella’s daughter Kaili who told her side back in November, “I know Emily said (her sons) came back and told her I  was talking bad about Heather and then her and Shane said, she can never babysit for us again. So why did they have me back watching their kids two nights later? Oh, an entire weekend. So I don’t I don’t know why I’d lie about that. Like I said on the show, I just thought it was funny.”

On the other hand, Emily vehemently denied the accusation, asserting that she would never discuss negative things about others in front of her children. She’s insisted all along that Katie’s claims are false — a position that has only fueled the fire of their ongoing tension.

Things took a dramatic turn in November 2024, when a post that we shared on the AllAboutTRH podcast’s Instagram account reignited the feud. This post included a statement from Emily’s former nanny, who backed up Katie’s version of events. The nanny claimed that Emily’s kids often spoke about how they disliked Heather Dubrow. To make matters even more intense, the post included text messages from the nanny and photos that seemingly confirmed her connection to Emily’s children.

This revelation has added fuel to the fire, with Emily now reportedly furious at Katie for allegedly fueling a “smear campaign.” According to sources, Emily feels that Katie is intentionally spreading lies and using the post to tarnish her reputation. It’s clear that the bad blood between the two is reaching a boiling point.

As the countdown to Season 19 of RHOC continues, insiders are predicting that this unresolved tension will make for a spectacularly fiery start to the new season. With Emily reportedly ready to confront Katie about the smear campaign, fans can expect some explosive confrontations when the cameras roll.

While Emily Simpson has been a mainstay on RHOC, it’s hard to ignore the fact that Katie Ginella is quickly becoming a fan favorite. Whether it’s her straightforward approach or her refusal to back down in the face of drama, Katie has proven she’s not afraid to defend herself. And based on the way this feud is shaping up, she’s sure to be at the center of some major moments in Season 19.
