What else can we expect from these ladies? With Season 20 now underway, Bravo fans are already foaming at the mouth to watch the the drama unfold in this friend group. First, OG Vicki Gunvalson is back as a housewife and teased to DECIDER her role of the peacemaker during the current beef of the Tres Amigas. The horror!
In DECIDER’S conversation with Tamra Judge, she says her fight with Shannon Storms Beador was caused after the two allegedly got into a massive fight during upcoming season of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip‘s stop in Orange County.
As we know by now, there is no proper way to prepare for any of these shenanigans. However, there is a new force causing a wedge in the cast of RHOC: the newest cast member Carmella Garcia. If you thought the OC women would give the rumors about Garcia a rest, then you must be new around here.
In an exclusive clip obtained by DECIDER, which you can watch in the video player above, Garcia is breaking her silence. At a group dinner, Garcia explains her perspective as the new cast member for Season 20, after a dinner with cast member Emily Simpson where she felt her character was questioned.
“My take was not that she talks too much. It was that I felt insecure and exposed because she asked a lot of questions,” Garcia stated.
“I feel like everything that’s maybe defective is like out on the table,” she added.
Simpson doesn’t agree with Garcia’s opinion that she crossed a line, “I asked a lot of questions because one, I was trying to get to know you. When I sit down at dinner with someone and I’m meeting them for the first time, I’m making an effort because I want to know who they are.”
Yet, Garcia believes Simpson was “spilling” her personal life despite not having a close relationship.
Simpson believes her so-called intrusiveness was brought on Garcia herself, “And maybe I asked more questions than normal because I found it difficult to get a straight answer out of you.”
Then, Garcia mentions an uncomfortable moment at Emily’s birthday party: When Garcia gifted Simpson a dildo as a present to try and get across she was someone with a good sense of humor.
However, Gunvalson is quick to interject reminding the table of the energy shift after Simpson opened Garcia’s gift in front of her kids. Once again, OG Gunvalson is stirring the pot. Some people never change.
At this point, Garcia rambles about her thought process behind the dildo, explaining she ordered eight vibrators for some reason that doesn’t exactly make sense. Garcia swears she’s not a “vibrator connoisseur.” ChatGPT wishes it could come up with a storyline this random.
With this conversation going nowhere, Judge shouts, “Any cl*t suckers?” Wrong time, Tamra.
At the end of the clip, Garcia elaborates she was compelled to buy the gift because she wanted to make a good impression with a thoughtful gift.
But it seems Garcia can’t win them all over. The clip ends with Gina Kirschenheiter not believing Garcia’s reasoning and thinks it doesn’t make sense to buy this gift for someone who allegedly made you feel uncomfortable. Kirschenheiter states, “It does read a little bit like does she like to flash her money around.”
Kirschenheiter’s dig at Garcia ends a conversation that will simply make you have hope for the future. These women will always form the most original sentences in the history of language!
