The Real Housewives of Orange County are turning up the drama in the newly released midseason trailer, and Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter, Heather Dubrow, Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge, Jennifer Pedranti, Katie Ginella, and Gretchen Rossi do not disappoint in the second half of the season.
Tamra Judge and Gretchen Rossi’s longtime rivalry shows no signs of slowing down. During a heated group meal in the trailer, Gretchen warns, “I have kept my mouth shut forever,” before Tamra stands up and fires back, “F–k off.”
The explosive confrontation appears to ripple through the group, leaving some cast members in tears. “Where do we go from here?” Emily asks, while Gina struggles to keep her composure, saying, “I don’t like any of this.”
Even longtime allies aren’t safe this season. In one moment, Heather Dubrow admits she trusts Tamra the least, leading others to question the strength of their bond.

“Do they have a real friendship?” Jennifer Pedranti wonders. Emily chimes in with a blunt response: “No. Heather is scared of her.”
Despite the rifts, the women still make their way to Amsterdam for what promises to be an unforgettable cast trip. But noticeably absent from the adventure is Katie Ginella.
Her absence follows the August 28 episode, when Katie failed a lie detector test during Emily’s Persian New Year party and was asked to leave. Feeling shut out, she admitted her future with the group was uncertain.
“No one is going to believe me, but I can lay my head at night knowing I told the truth,” Katie said on the episode. “This might be the last time anyone sees me with this group of women.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. Fans can also catch up on past episodes streaming on Peacock.
