RHOC Star Katie Ginella Blasted by Ex-Friend She Allegedly “Hurt” as They Claim She’s “Full of Drama” and Shade Her “Values”

Katie Ginella was put on blast by an alleged ex-friend after the airing of Thursday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion.

After being asked on their Instagram if they’d watched the show, which is currently airing Katie’s debut season, the person shaded Katie, 40, for being full of drama, both on-screen and off, as they also targeted the new reality star’s values.

“Have you watched RHOC with Katie on it?? Are you guys still friends?” the person asked, via Bravo and Cocktails on Instagram.

“Yes, I just finished watching the season,” Katie’s reported friend replied. “I had such a bad stomach ache watching the first episode or two and it felt so weird to see her finally on TV because I was such close friends with her during her entire casting process and as she was doing all the interviews and prepping to go on the show.”

“But she really really burnt me and hurt me,” they went on. “So yes — It’s been hard to watch. But also this show is perfect for her.”

According to the unnamed person, RHOC is “perfect” for Katie because it’s “full of drama” — just like her.

“It’s full of drama and this is how our real life friendship felt,” they explained. “I do wish her well and I want success for her but I just don’t align with her values and how she treats people which is why I cut the cord on our friendship.”

During Thursday’s first installment of the RHOC reunion, Katie came under fire from a number of her castmates, including Heather Dubrow, 55, who said “falsely accusing people” is her “thing,” and Gina Kirschenheiter, 40, who called her out for lying about owning her home.

She was also forced to explain why she lost custody of her kids for a year-and-a-half after being confronted about the issue by Emily Simpson, 48.

“I was living in, I can’t say the name, in a facility in Atlanta. My parents who lived 20 minutes from me wouldn’t help me because they wouldn’t agree that I was divorcing my ex-husband. So he was immediately awarded the kids because I could not provide a place for them to live,” Katie shared. “At the time, I thought, ‘You know what? This is okay.’ I was trying to get my life together to figure out how I could get them back … That was horrible, a horrible time.”

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