The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19: Katie Ginella's Lie Detector Test Drama
Season 19 of The Real Housewives of Orange County has been a challenging one for Katie Ginella as she finds herself at odds with the entire RHOC cast. Last season, Katie recorded Shannon Beador without her knowledge, causing the cast to turn against her. The tension escalated when the cast took lie detector tests at Emily Simpson's Persian New Year party, with Katie reportedly performing the worst. Despite insisting she told the truth about certain questions, Katie attributed her poor performance to anxiety and missing her anti-anxiety medication.
During an episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County After Show, Katie explained that the uncontrolled environment of taking the lie detector test in Emily's closet, coupled with her anxiety and feeling sick, contributed to her failing the test. She emphasized that she had nothing to gain from lying and questioned why she would self-sabotage. Additionally, Gretchen Rossi passed her test, despite lying about going to the hospital after an incident involving being "naked wasted."
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo and is available for streaming on Hayu in the UK and Ireland. The reasons behind Katie's lie detector failure and Gretchen's passing despite lying about the hospital incident remain topics of discussion among viewers.
