RHOC Season 19 Reunion Drama Unveiled

Buckle up, RHOC fans! Emily Simpson is dishing on the Season 19 reunion, where the spotlight shines brightly on Gretchen Rossi's social media scandal. In an exclusive sit-down with Wonderwall.com, Emily teases what's to come as Gretchen faces allegations about liking some pretty eyebrow-raising posts. "I feel good coming out of the reunion," Emily shares. "I have real friendships with these women – deep friendships. I walked away still very good friends with Heather [Dubrow], and Gina [Kirschenheiter]'s my best friend. I'm close with Shannon [Beador]. Jen [Pedranti] and I are close." It seems it's all about the girl squad vibes, but how will the audience react to Gretchen's side of the story?

"I think it was good for her to have the opportunity to say the things that she should have said," Emily notes. "It was done well, and she said everything that she should say. It will be interesting to see what the audience will take away from it."

With the drama hotter than a midday hike in Runyon Canyon, fans are eager to see how Gretchen navigates the reunion's heated moments and whether she clears the air.

Wife Swap: A Whole New Adventure

Switching gears to another reality TV escapade, Emily dives into her experience on Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition. Expect the unexpected! "When it was presented to me originally, I thought I was swapping with another Housewife," she admits, laughing. "It wasn't until right before we started filming that I made the connection." The twist? Swapping with Caley Svensson, an interior designer who turned her New Jersey digs into a farm. Talk about a culture shock for an OC veteran!

Emily's bestie, Gina Kirschenheiter, even makes a surprise visit to keep things real at home. "I loved that," Emily says. "If it wasn't being filmed, she would have done that anyway." This dynamic duo knows how to keep it authentic, showing off their genuine friendship on and off-camera.

Keeping It Real in the OC

Emily's known for her straightforward approach, which she attributes to her upbringing as a first-born sibling. "I had to be strong. I had to be blunt," she reflects. "It gets me in trouble sometimes, but I don't feel like I'm a mean person at all." This no-nonsense attitude has made her a favorite on Bravo, bringing that quintessential OC realness to every episode. After all, we wouldn't want our Housewives any other way.

Catch new episodes of Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET, and stay tuned for all the RHOC reunion revelations. It's going to be a wild ride!
