About this episode

Emily Simpson discusses her experiences on RHOC, her friendship with Gina, and her reactions to Vicki's return.

On this week's episode, Dylan is joined by Emily Simpson to talk all things RHOC Season 20 and reflect on her eight seasons in Orange County. Emily opens up about why never watched herself on the show, how her husband Shane keeps her grounded when social media gets harsh, and why her friendship with Gina feels more like a sisterhood than a reality TV friendship. She also shares her reaction to Vicki’s return, including the surprising timing of her orange before the contract was finalized, and explains why Vicki has earned the “Debbie Downer” label. Plus, Emily gets into why she and Gina are always perfectly happy being in the middle and how she finally feels secure in her place on RHOC.
