The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 reunion may bring the cast farther apart instead of closer together.
In Bravo’s sneak peek of the three-part reunion released on Thursday, October 30, Shannon Storms Beador, Heather Dubrow, Tamra Judge, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, Katie Ginella and friend of the cast Gretchen Rossi come together to rehash all the drama from the past year.
After leaving the season earlier than expected, Katie, 41, is back and ready to tackle what went wrong with her friendship with Jennifer, 48.
“I had to stop filming,” she tells her costar before accusing the cast of messing with her finances.

“I didn’t f*** with your paycheck,” Jennifer responds. “I was your friend.”
According to Bravo, part one of the reunion — kicking off Thursday, November 6 — will feature Katie discussing her early exit by addressing her unresolved issues with the group. In part two, however, Jennifer will receive a phone call from her fiancé, Ryan Boyajian, which could reveal shocking information about Katie.
One day before the reunion trailer was released, Us Weekly caught up with Jennifer and Emily, 49, and asked what viewers can expect.
“Things didn’t add up after we filmed the finale, and I think we were all sitting at reunion going, ‘We all need to know, like, what are we dealing with here?’” Jennifer exclusively told Us at Variety’s Power of Women event in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 29. “Katie was coming back. We hadn’t seen Katie in a minute. It was heavy for a minute, I felt like.”
While Emily said the taping was all “a blur,” the “Legally Brunette” podcast host says the reunion “gives a little bit of everything.”
“I think there are funny moments. I think there are lighthearted moments. I think there are tense moments,” she teased. “I think there are moments where you still don’t know exactly, so you have to decipher through the info, because there’s more information that comes out, and you have to think about it.”
Elsewhere in the reunion trailer, Tamra, 58, and Gretchen, 47, quickly prove that their truce in Amsterdam was short-lived.
At one point in the sneak peek, Gretchen is crying while Tamra is thinking she looks like JonBenét Ramsey.
“You’re making up f***ing lies like you’ve been doing to me for so long,” Tamra shouts at one point.

Before the finale aired, Gretchen revealed that she was likely the one to be in the hot seat the most at the reunion.
“Probably, but you got to remember, I wasn’t there the entire time because I’m a friend, so I came in for a portion of it,” she teased to Us at the 2025 Gurus Awards, presented by Gurus Magazine, on October 12. “So I don’t know 100 percent because I didn’t see the whole thing. I wasn’t there for the entirety of it.”
