Emily Simpson threw main shade at Heather Dubrow throughout an interview on the finish of final month.
As she additionally claimed Shannon Beador seemingly dropped Heather after her reconciliation with Tamra Judge, weighed in on the unending drama between Tamra and Jennifer Pedranti, and defined the evolution of husband Shane Simpson, the Real Housewives of Orange County star addressed a possible function on Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip and slammed Heather as “opportunistic.”
“I would always pick [Gina Kirschenheiter] just because we’re so close. When I’m with her, we have fun together. … [And] Lisa Barlow from [The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City]. I know her pretty well: We talk pretty often, so that would be fun,” Emily instructed TODAY of her dream RHUGT forged on July 27.
But these aren’t the one Housewives she’s near. In reality, when questioned in regards to the final Housewife she spoke to who’s not on her forged, Emily named Lisa Rinna.
“She DMs me, and she’s always been very kind to me — always,” Emily revealed.
And relating to the RHOC forged, Emily stays in contact with former forged members Lizzie Rovsek and Gretchen Rossi, who Tamra as soon as claimed have been standing in the best way of a real friendship between them.
“I’ve been friends with Lizzie for years… I don’t think it bothers Tamra now because I think she knows that me being friends with Lizzie has nothing to do with her,” Emily famous. “Gretchen and I are friendly. [But] I couldn’t tell you the last time I saw her in person, it was probably three years ago.”
Throughout the latest episodes of RHOC, Jennifer has been at odds with Tamra attributable to Tamra’s claims about her romance with Ryan Boyajian and Ryan’s previous. And whereas Jennifer has accused Tamra of being dishonest, Emily believes Tamra “knows a lot of things.”
“I like Jenn a lot, I think she’s a very good, solid human, but I think Jenn also tries to create her own narrative about things. She tries to control the way it looks, and Tamra knows things that are different than what she’s trying to portray, so then I think that makes Tamra really mad,” she defined.
As for Jennifer’s points with Gina, Emily understands the place Gina is coming from in being triggered by the continued claims of infidelity.
“I think that Gina didn’t really process her feelings about everything that happened with [Matt Kirschenheiter] (her ex-husband), and I think that she also stopped drinking. When you’re not suppressing your feelings anymore, they come to the surface,” she famous. “I think she had to go through that process. And then I think she does realize that it’s on her, it’s her own feelings, and Jenn is not responsible for that.”
Moving on to husband Shane, who has gone from collection villain to a present favourite, Emily admitted he’s “an acquired taste.”
“I think anyone who knows Shane goes on that journey,” she confessed. “I have real-life friends that I’ve had for years, and when they first meet Shane, they don’t like him. They’ll say things to me, like, ‘Why doesn’t your husband like me? Why is your husband rude to me?’ And then give them like a year, and they will be like, ‘I love your husband. He’s so funny.’ So I think he’s … I don’t know what you call it … an acquired taste?”
In the recently-released midseason trailer for RHOC, Heather and Dr. Terry Dubrow are seen promoting their $55 million Newport house. And relating to Heather’s potential future on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Emily believes her co-star would soar on the probability to cross over.
“I think if she could move to [RHOBH], she would get in her private jet and fly there as fast as she could, then parachute down into a scene with caviar and a bottle of Champagne, like, ‘”I’m lastly on the mothership,’” Emily said.
According to Emily, Heather “is hard on everybody,” which she fails to acknowledge, and which may be why Shannon seemingly dropped her after reconciling with Tamra.
After being requested if she felt Shannon and Tamra ditched Heather after making amends, Emily signaled to Shannon.
“I know Heather and Shannon were close before we went into filming the season. They would run into each other, and they would have dinner together and stuff. I think once Shannon and Tamra kind of mended their relationship, I think Shannon was fine with just being like, ‘Buh-bye Dubrow,’” she reasoned.
Also throughout the interview, after naming Heather because the castmate she’ll have probably the most to confront about on the reunion, Emily provided an replace on their friendship.
“We’re friends, that’s where I think you get a good show, too; a good cast, when you fundamentally can stay friends, but you can get really pissed off at each other, really irritated with each other and be honest with one another,” she defined. “So I am friends with her, and if she called me right now, I’d answer, and if she asked me to go to lunch, I would go.”
That stated, Emily did say issues between her and Heather “[get] worse” earlier than the season ends, and he or she went on to accuse her and Tamra of getting a friendship alliance.
“I feel like Heather sometimes tries to align herself with whoever she thinks is popular on the show. She’s opportunistic, so I think she would just go along with a friendship if she thinks that’s good for her on the show, or good for her career,” Emily suspected.
