Katie Ginella may have reached the end of her run on The Real Housewives of Orange County.
Amid production on the upcoming 19th season of the long-running Bravo reality series, which saw both the exit and return of Tamra Judge, 57, an insider claims Katie, 41, was left out of the cast’s trip to Amsterdam in May, and several other events, due to feuds with Emily Simpson, 49, and Gretchen Rossi, 46.
“Reality TV doesn’t seem to be for her, but she has been trying and has amazing qualities too, so I don’t know if she’s done for good or not,” a source shared with The U.S. Sun on May 11. “I would assume she won’t come back next season and the decision will either be mutual or coming from the producers.”
As RHOC fans will recall, the end of season 18 saw Katie in a feud with Emily that involved her daughter, Kaili, who babysat for Emily and claimed to have learned of Emily’s alleged trash-talking of Heather Dubrow, 56. And although it was rumored that Katie was on the chopping block ahead of season 19, she was ultimately brought back, along with Shannon Beador, 61, Gina Kirschenheiter, 41, and Jennifer Pedranti, 47.
In addition to Katie’s feuds with Emily and Gretchen, Gretchen is also said to be at odds with Tamra. In fact, it was reportedly the tense encounter the two of them had amid their group trip to New Orleans earlier this year that prompted Tamra to temporarily leave production.
“Tamra quit in the middle of the New Orleans trip with the girls,” an insider told The U.S. Sun at the time. “It was just after filming an emotional scene that turned into a heated discussion and then a shouting match with Gretchen and Shannon. Ultimately, Tamra can dish it but she can’t take it which longtime viewers well know.”
“She’s overreacting and throwing a tantrum like a child because she isn’t getting her way,” the insider added.
News of Katie’s potentially impending exit from RHOC comes just days after an insider told OK! Magazine that she’d been faced with “wild accusations” amid production.
“It’s been a really hard season for Katie and the women have thrown some wild accusations against her,” shared the source. “She’s been called a liar, but she’s 100 percent held her own and not relented.”
No word yet on a premiere date for The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19.
