Katie Ginella is throwing shade at her fellow Housewife, Emily Simpson.
The RHOC star recently shared snaps from a lunch date at Javier’s with immigration attorney Kathleen Martinez.
“Lunch with a real lawyer,” Katie wrote.
Naturally, Bravo fans clocked the comment as a possible dig at Emily Simpson, who has long been introduced on RHOC as both an attorney and former party planner.
Emily’s legal background has been a recurring part of her storyline over the years, especially as she weighed in on cast drama and supported her husband, Shane Simpson, through his California bar exam journey.
That said, many viewers question how much Emily actually practices law.
ICYMI: Emily is a licensed attorney with active licenses in both California and Utah, specializing in family and copyright law.
While she’s not practicing full time, she keeps her licenses current and remains involved through legal commentary and advocacy work, including efforts with the California Innocence Project.
She earned her JD from Thomas Jefferson School of Law after previously working as a Spanish teacher.
No casting announcements have been made, though rumors suggest Katie won’t be returning.
As we know, nothing is official until Bravo makes it so.
