It was revealed last week that Real Housewives of Orange County cast member Kelly Dodd was no longer following her co-star, Braunwyn Windham-Burke. This week, it has been confirmed that Emily Simpson is also no longer following the mother-of-seven on Instagram.
Days after it was alleged that the ladies had wrapped production on the upcoming 15th season of the series, the Bravo Guru on Instagram took note of Emily’s recent unfollow and shared a screenshot with proof of the matter with their fans and followers on August 18.
“It looks like there’s more drama heating up the OC than we previously thought…Emily Simpson has now unfollowed fellow housewife, Braunwyn Windham-Burke on social media,” the fan page shared. “This news comes two days after Braunwyn and Kelly Dodd unfollowed each other on social media.”
Bravo Guru’s post included a note that it was actually Housewives Addicted on Instagram who first discovered the unfollow. The post did not offer any reasons for the unfollow, but it did reveal that Emily follows 510 people.
In the comments section of the screenshot, a number of RHOC viewers weighed in on the upcoming episodes of the series, with one person saying that Season 15 is “definitely going be a epic season” and another saying that things “are getting [hot] in the O.C.”
Other people attempted to guess at what had gone wrong between the former friends. According to one fan, Emily and Braunwyn could be in a political feud after suggesting that both Emily and Kelly support President Trump. Neither member of the show has confirmed any such thing, nor did they reveal who they voted for in the 2016 election. The woman said that Emily “likes” all of Kelly’s content, much of which has been quite controversial amid the pandemic.
“Kelly has literally fought with all the housewives too,” another person said.
While Emily’s role on RHOC Season 15 has been confirmed with photos online, former star Tamra Judge spoke out against her return earlier this summer during an interview on the Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef podcast. As The Inquisitr previously reported, Tamra told the host that Emily “doesn’t belong” on the series and “doesn’t fit in” with the other women.
“I think Emily [is] dead weight on the cast,” Tamra admitted.
Tamra then accused Emily of being two-faced, claiming she acted kindly to certain women, but spoke badly about them behind their backs and in her confessionals.
