Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Katie Ginella thinks her castmates have “targeted” her because she was so well-liked in her first season filming.
According to Katie:
The sophomore season RHOC personality gave a theory to Us Weekly. “I think these women were looking for anything to point out that I’ve done wrong.”
“I think I was really well received [in my first season]. I’m so thankful for everybody being so kind, and I think that was like, ‘OK, well, we’re going to point out things she did wrong if she’s so well received.’”
Marooned:
“I felt very alone on an island. I felt very outed, and it’s a very familiar feeling for me, so it was very difficult.”
“Being the new person, being the first Asian American on Housewives, being the first Korean American and adoptee, that puts me in a different category, I think. I also grew up in a predominantly white community as the only Asian American, so this is just a very familiar feeling.”
Katie expressed gratitude for the loyal fans who have shared positive messages during her time on the Bravo show. “Sitting on that [season 18] reunion stage, I said, ‘I don’t know if I’ll go back for a second season.’”
Why Katie returned to RHOC:
“When they called and asked me to do a second season, I thought, ‘I’m going to do this for myself to prove that I’m strong enough to do this.’”
But she reminded herself that the hardest things in life can be the most rewarding.
“I’m just going to keep pushing through. I’ve learned more about myself in the last two years of doing this than my entire 41 years of existence, so it’s been really helpful.”
