Heather releases Sutton's text message bashing Katie

32

Heather Dubrow leaked a text message Sutton Stracke sent them around Katie Ginella on Thursday night's episode The Real Housewives of Orange County Reunion.

When Katie, 40, was convicted of allegedly “using” the internet Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, lying about owning a home and making false allegations against a man who was ultimately thrown in prison, the Season 18 newcomer had to explain why she lost custody of her children Tamra Judge57, and Shannon BeadorThe 60-year-old argued about their argument.

“There’s just a lot of tissue stories,” Heather, 55, noted on the episode of “ RHOC. “Sutton texted me last week and said, ‘She took advantage of me. She came to my house in Augusta and said she was bringing all these top golfers with her. Nobody showed up. She didn't pay the photographer. She was just using me to promote her business.'”

Although Katie tried to defend herself by saying, “I offered to pay for everything, even the catering,” Heather insisted that's “what Sutton said” as her line in the episode was shared.

Katie then mentioned that her son Gavin, 18, had been living in San Diego with her niece because he wanted to finish school there while filming, and she noted that he now lives “full-time in Orange County” with her family.

Immediately, Gina Kirschenheiter40, she shouted.

“When I first met you, you reached out to me and said you needed my help as a real estate agent and you lied to me about owning your house in San Diego,” she explained.

“NO. “I didn't lie to you about owning our house,” Katie replied. “We signed a lease with them. They wanted two years of rental income, so that's the situation… I haven't moved out of Orange County. “

After Emily Simpson48, pointed out that Katie created an Instagram reel in which she tried to deny skipping town, which Emily had accused her of Jeff Lewis LiveKatie admitted that she had returned to San Diego for two months because her father-in-law was dying.

“Actually, I was right. You moved. They don't live in the same house. And you were in San Diego for a while,” Emily replied.

“I have moved. “You’re absolutely right,” Katie agreed.

Meanwhile, Gina noticed that Katie's stories made her not trust her.

“I just think there are a lot of inconsistencies and things that don't fit with what you say and do that make me feel kind of uncomfortable around you. And I don’t trust you,” she shared.

Heather was more explicit.

“That’s your thing. “Falsely accusing people is kind of your thing,” she explained. Emily then suggested that Katie had sent someone to prison for making false claims.

“He didn’t go to prison. “Can I tell the story?” Katie asked. “The kids and I were driving on a four-lane road in Marietta, Georgia, like we were nine or 10 years ago. A man pulled into our lane and yelled at me: 'F*ck you, bitch'.”

According to Katie, she stopped and called the police. Then, as she tried to leave the scene, she claimed the man started filming in her car.

“My children are screaming and crying. My children remember this day. It was terrifying,” she claimed.

Heather then shared: “That’s not the story the police are telling. The police tell the story that you followed the guy home.”

“You tell a one-sided story,” Katie explained. “I would never follow anyone home.”

“So the police are lying?” Heather wondered. “She was driving her car and texting with kids in the car and this guy saw her and he was alerted because a family member had been killed by a driving, texting person and he told her to pull over and she did she was outraged and followed him home. She pulled up behind him in his driveway, came out and yelled at him. He filmed her because he thought she was going crazy.”

Heather continued that the man was released after police realized Katie was the attacker.

“I couldn’t even say my side. “I didn't even go to court,” Katie revealed, stressing that she was only found guilty because she missed a court date she didn't know she had.

Emily then wanted to know why her co-star lost both custody and custody of her children.

“I lived, I can’t say the name, in a facility in Atlanta. My parents, who lived 20 minutes away from me, didn't want to help me because they didn't agree with me divorcing my ex-husband. So he immediately got the nod for the children because I couldn’t offer them a place to live,” Katie explained.

Still, Emily said it likely wouldn't result in loss of custody unless she was declared unfit or handed over that responsibility to her ex.

“I don't know. At the time I was like, 'You know what?' That's fine.' “I was trying to get my life together, trying to figure out how to get her back,” Katie told her, beginning to cry. “It was 18 months… It was a terrible, terrible time.”

Elsewhere, Shannon looked back on her 30-day drink-driving treatment as Tamra accused her of continuing to drink while taking part.

“You called me drunk several times after that…One time you called me drunk, went off like a crazy woman, and then called me ten minutes later and had the same conversation with me,” Tamra explained.

“I went to a place where they did random drug and alcohol testing. “I didn’t drink during the program,” Shannon replied.

But Tamra insisted: “You did.”

Although Tamra didn't walk back her claims about Shannon's drinking after drunk driving, she did admit that she was sorry for cracking down on her so harshly during season 18.

“I had issues with the fact that I was with you and talked to you after the DUI. I knew you were still drinking. And then when you come on the show, I feel like you were in the same place you were in after your DUI. “I don’t think you got the help you needed,” she explained. “[And] That’s all I ever wanted for you.”

“I know I got the help I needed because I’m doing well,” Shannon replied.

Then, when Emily realized that Gina had forgiven Shannon for the harsh criticism she gave her co-star after his drunk driving, Shannon turned to Tamra.

“I accept your apology. I appreciate your apology. “I just don’t want to be your friend anymore,” she explained.

The Real Housewives of Orange County The Season 18 reunion continues with part two next Thursday, November 14 at 9/8c on Bravo.
