We’ve heard rumors all year long that Katie Ginella ended up on the outs with most of the cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Ahead of Season 19’s premiere, we’ve got a peek into what might have caused the rift. She’s being accused of lying, and a Bravo blogger named TheBravoBabe is right at the center of the mess.
BravoBabe provided receipts on Katie Ginella’s DMs before the RHOC premiere
According to a report from OK! Magazine, Season 19’s premiere will show the RHOC cast confronting Katie about her interactions with a woman named Christina Huber, aka TheBravoBabe. It almost sounds like they were trying to have a Reality Von Tease moment.
The drama started last year when Tamra Judge threatened to send lawyers after BravoBabe, claiming that she was being harassed by the account. Somehow, the RHOC cast found out that there could be some sort of relationship between Katie and BravoBabe.
On Bravo, we’ll see Katie deny having any interactions with the blogger. Therefore, BravoBabe has tried to get ahead of the story by dropping receipts of her own. They show that she did, in fact, talk to Katie via Instagram DM.
At one point, Katie allegedly called BravoBabe and told her that Tamra was “evil” and also offered her guidance on how to navigate the legal threats. On top of that, BravoBabe claimed they had been going back and forth for months. Seeing Katie “flip” on her in the premiere episode left her feeling disappointed, but ready to clear her name.
“It’s so hard as a creator to be lied on. Katie and I have a dozen kind, friendly, and even some gossipy conversations,” TheBravoBabe told Reality Tea.
She continued, “It’s hurtful, and at this point I don’t want people to think bloggers are just people who lie for ‘clickbait and money,’ like she said. It’s the opposite. We do this because we love it, and we love having like-minded followers to engage with. It’s so much.”
Katie has not commented on these revelations, but we expect to hear much more about this once the season begins.
The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19 premieres on Bravo on July 10 at 9/8c. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
