The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 aired part two of its reunion special this week on Thursday, November 14, 2024. The segment started with the continuation of Emily Simpson questioning Jennifer Pedranti and her defending her fiancé, Ryan, about his alleged involvement with a gambling business.
Shannon tried to defend Jenn when Emily stated that everything they were saying contradicted what she had read about Ryan's involvement. She further told Jenn she would respect her more if she would admit that Ryan made a mistake.
Fans of the Bravo reality show chimed in on the situation on social media and criticized Emily for going after Jenn.
"Poor Jenn. Leave her alone. Emily your in-laws pay your bills & more so, again, STFU," one person wrote on X.
"Emily is so busy trying to poke holes in Jenn’s story, barking ever other sentence, commenting about Tamra finally seeking therapy.. lets talk about why you aren’t in therapy? all this packed up trauma and lashing out. and if she’s in therapy she need her money back," a fan commented.
"emily keeps trying to have this gotcha moment with jen. she’s not coming from the place of a friend. she’s coming from the place of a hater," a tweet read.
Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 felt Emily was "obsessed" with Jenn.
"Emily is obsessed with Jenn's finances. She should shut up and worry about things that actually effect her," a person wrote.
"Emily stood by her man when he kept flunking the bar exam, spoke badly to her & treated her like trash the first couple of seasons. Leave Jenn alone," a fan commented.
"Emily really thinks she's owed people's full story. Nope. Jenn and Ryan don't owe you sh*t," a tweet read.
Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 further said:
"What is Emily so hellbent on calling out these women for living THEIR lives. She needs to mind her business and stop projecting her childhood trauma on everyone else," a person wrote.
"Allowing Emily to interrupt at every second is so tiring. I’m really disappointed in Andy. How dare he sit back and not do his job?? I’m tired. If you are going to be biased, it’s time for you to get off the couch. This complicity in the gang ups are ATROCIOUS," a tweet read.
"Sometimes you just need to be accountable"— Emily clashes with Jenn during The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 reunion part 2
In The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 reunion part 2, Emily continued to question Jenn about her fiancé Ryan. When Emily told the cast member she would have more respect for her and Ryan if they would own up to their actions, Jenn retaliated stating she didn't owe that to the RHOC star since Ryan didn't do anything wrong.
Emily told Jenn she "always" did that and stood by her "man" instead of being accountable.
"And sometimes, you just need to be accountable," Emily added.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 star Jenn said she was "very accountable." Emily recalled Katie telling her that her husband sat in a corner at Jenn and Ryan's engagement party because "he didn't want to be around those" people.
Andy asked Katie for her perspective, noting that the new cast member had gotten closer to Jenn and Ryan over time. He asked her if she believed he did anything wrong, and the RHOC newcomer said she didn't.
Heather chimed in and said everyone, including Tamra Judge, was concerned about her, which is why they were saying what they collectively thought of her and Ryan's situation.
Fans of the reality show were upset with Emily's behavior towards Jenn and expressed their opinions online.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 reunion parts 1 and 2 are available to stream on Bravo.
