Welcome to\u00a0The Real Housewives of Orange County<\/a> Season 19 Episode 19 recap. Last time, Katie discussed her early exit<\/a> from the season, but she received a chilly reception. Shannon worked Tamra\u2019s nerves, while Emily shared more details about her son Luke\u2019s diagnosis. Here\u2019s what happened in RHOC Season 19 Episode 19: \u201cReunion, Part Two.\u201d<\/p>\n

What happened in Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19 Episode 19?<\/p>\n

The ladies discussed why Tamra showed the photo of Jenn<\/a> at a heavier weight. Then Jenn\u2019s fianc\u00e9, Ryan Boyajian<\/a>, called her with jaw-dropping news about Katie. And a spicy Matt Ginella<\/a> faced off with Gretchen and Jenn.<\/p>\n

Why did Tamra show the photo of Jenn?<\/p>\n

In Tamra\u2019s mind, Jenn \u201csingled\u201d her out<\/a> to get on RHOC. Hilariously, Tamra mentioned that Jenn and her ex-husband, Will Pedranti, moved close to her, but Tamra wasn\u2019t living there at the time. Oh, the horror! Then Tamra alleged that Jenn started using the same hair salon and doctor, which Jenn denied. Then, Jenn started going to Tamra\u2019s gym.<\/p>\n

Finally, Heather was asked why she felt that Tamra wasn\u2019t being shady by showing the photo of Jenn at a heavier weight. Heather explained that Tamra showed the photo during a deep conversation, where \u201ctraumatic\u201d topics, as well as Teddi Mellencamp\u2019s<\/a> cancer battle, were discussed.<\/p>\n

So, Emily asked Tamra, \u201cWhat was your real intent with the photo? Just that Jenn had changed?\u201d Tamra admitted that it was \u201cshady,\u201d then she apologized.<\/p>\n

Then, Shannon brought up how Tamra said that Jenn \u201chad an affair.\u201d Cue the flashback of Jenn and Tamra fighting over infidelity. At the reunion, Tamra said, \u201cI heard it happened at your old yoga studio with an instructor.\u201d Jenn exclaimed, \u201cNo, Tamra, that\u2019s not true! I had an affair on Will, and I\u2019m with Ryan.\u201d And Tamra responded, \u201cAnd I have no proof of that, and I should never have said that.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Jenn\u2019s wedding date? There isn\u2019t one yet. She isn\u2019t in a hurry to get married, and she wants all her kids to be there. \u201cIf something happened, I\u2019m now at a point where me and my kids are gonna be just fine,\u201d Jenn said as everyone applauded. \u201cRyan and I met with Will, and it was very weird, but Will sat there, and he owned everything,\u201d Jenn added. Plus, Jenn is happy that there is a co-parenting relationship now, and she has sole custody of her kids.<\/p>\n

Next, the topic of Gina trashing Heather\u2019s comedy chops came up. \u201cWhat bothered me was we\u2019re both putting ourselves back into the world, in some capacity, in our careers,\u201d Heather said. \u201cAnd I thought out of everyone, you\u2019d be the one to go, \u2018That\u2019s awesome! I love this for her.\u2019\u201d Gina apologized for her comments, and Heather added that her career is always insulted by someone on RHOC. Then the duo hugged it out.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Andy asked what Emily\u2019s husband, Shane Simpson<\/a>, thought of her adventure, dancing and straddling a man<\/a> at The Abbey. \u201cFirst of all, I was a victim of dry-humping. I was not initiating it,\u201d Emily said. \u201cShane said, \u2018I did not like watching that, but I\u2019m just going to let it go.\u2019\u201d Now, that\u2019s progress!<\/p>\n

Ryan gives Jenn some tea about Katie<\/p>\n

Jenn told Shannon that she got a call from Ryan. Apparently, Jenn texted Shannon last night that, \u201cNicole was with f*cking Katie.\u201d Cue the flashback of Ryan calling Jenn during the RHOC reunion lunch break. \u201cSo, Matt [Bowyer] and Nicole are driving to take Matt to his prison<\/a>, or whatever you want to call it. And Ryan said, \u2018I just talked to Nicole, and that chick is weird.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Allegedly, Katie made a beeline for Nicole. Plus, Ryan told Jenn on the phone that Katie allegedly asked Nicole, \u201c\u2018Can I ask you something, and you promise not to lie? Was Ryan involved in Matt\u2019s illegal bookie business?\u2019\u201d WHAT?!<\/p>\n

\u201cNicole said it was so f*cking obvious that she was digging, and then just kept on,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd to know she went there to pump Nicole for information, so she and Tamra can go sit out there like some united front, she can go f*ck herself,\u201d Jenn told her man.<\/p>\n

Then Jenn told Shannon that Katie talked to Nicole about a role on the show. Katie allegedly said, \u201c\u2018They really want you on the show, so let\u2019s get together, because I can get you a casting.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Jenn and Gretchen explain their racially insensitive video on the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion<\/p>\n

Jenn and Katie haven\u2019t spoken since their last meeting on camera. \u201cThere\u2019s things that I don\u2019t understand with Katie that don\u2019t make sense inside a real friendship,\u201d Jenn said.<\/p>\n

Next, Andy asked about a racially insensitive video<\/a> that Gretchen and Jen posted. It was insensitive towards the Asian community. \u201cNo, it was not aimed at me,\u201d Katie said. \u201cBut it was not appropriate.\u201d While Jenn may have posted it, Katie was more upset at Gretchen because of \u201cthe actions and the voices or noises that you were making.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Jenn was angry that Katie came for her. \u201cYou and I knew each other better than that. How dare you!\u201d Jenn exclaimed. While Jenn never apologized to Katie, Gretchen did. Andy asked, \u201cI mean, what were you thinking posting that?\u201d Jenn responded, \u201cI didn\u2019t think. I\u2019m sorry to anyone I offended with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, Katie claimed that Gretchen\u2019s apology came through ChatGPT. And Katie ran it through an AI indicator. \u201cAre you serious?\u201d Gretchen remarked. \u201cWow!\u201d Then she added, \u201cI\u2019m sorry I hurt you, that\u2019s the bottom line, \u2018cause that was not the intent.\u201d In the end, Katie did accept their apologies.<\/p>\n

Breaking down the \u201cnaked wasted\u201d drama<\/p>\n

Then Jenn was asked why she dumped Katie over a lie detector test, but moved on with Gretchen after she misspoke about the \u201cnaked wasted\u201d saga. \u201cGretchen had never told me \u2026. that she was roofied by you, that she was sent to the hospital by you,\u201d Jenn told Tamra. \u201cBut then, whenever Gretchen and I did talk about it, when everything came up, she told me, \u2018I was so sick I probably could have gone to the hospital.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Several fans wanted to know how Gretchen could claim she \u201cmisspoke\u201d<\/a> on camera in New Orleans. \u201cI take full responsibility for that miscommunication,\u201d Gretchen said. \u201cI think that sometimes what happens when people are reliving a traumatic experience, or getting a lot of new information, sometimes you say words that you don\u2019t intend to say.\u201d In addition, Andy, Tamra, and Emily all agreed that if Gretchen had gone to the hospital, it would have come out at the reunion.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Andy explained that Bravo invited Slade Smiley<\/a>, Ryan, and Matt to be present for the reunion. Slade and Ryan declined. Shocking! However, Matt showed up. So, the talk turned to the phone call between Slade and Matt while the RHOC ladies were in New Orleans.<\/p>\n

Matt said, \u201cIf we go back to Mastro\u2019s, I don\u2019t know anything about \u201cnaked wasted\u201d \u2026 this was a story that illustrated to us, from them, how dangerous Tamra could be, and what she\u2019s capable of.\u201d He added, \u201cAnd it went into great detail about this night, that led to a drugging and hospital.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gretchen spills some tea about Matt on the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion <\/p>\n

When Jenn started to explain about Ryan, Matt cut her off. Then Jenn mentioned a conversation that Matt had at that dinner. Gretchen chimed in, \u201cOh, I\u2019ll go there because you were the first person that said, \u2018The second I met Eddie [Judge], he was gay<\/a>.\u2019\u201d Gretchen added, \u201cYou were talking sh*t.\u201d Katie responded, \u201cYou guys told us that this guy walked in \u2026 seeing Eddie with another man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Welp, back to the \u201cnaked wasted\u201d debacle. \u201cSlade says, \u2018Listen, Katie talked to Kiki Monique<\/a>. Katie just sealed her own fate. That story was never supposed to come out,\u2019\u201d Matt said.<\/p>\n

According to Matt, Katie said that she didn\u2019t speak to Kiki. \u201cWell, it got out, and Slade is saying you have got to stick with Gretchen, hold the line, and that never was said,\u201d Matt said he told his wife.<\/p>\n

Then a text message was displayed onscreen. Matt\u2019s text read, \u201cGretchen and Katie stayed aligned and poked holes in her timeline. She walked out.\u201d So, what did Gretchen say? That Katie and Matt \u201cmanipulated\u201d the text messages. Lordy!<\/p>\n

Finally, Andy asked, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t Slade come? He usually doesn\u2019t shy from the cameras.\u201d Gretchen explained, \u201cWell, because everyone accuses Slade of wanting to be on camera and wanting to be a housewife \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt didn\u2019t hold back. \u201cHe\u2019s on his fourth housewife?\u201d he asked. Gretchen said, \u201cNo, I\u2019m the third housewife.\u201d Next, Katie claimed that Jen \u201cf*cked\u201d with her \u201cpaycheck\u201d and \u201clivelihood.\u201d She alleged that if Jen had backed her up, she could have kept filming. \u201cI f*cked with your paycheck?\u201d Jen replied. \u201cI stuck up for you all the time.\u201d Katie screamed, \u201cI watched!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Real Housewives of Orange County<\/a>\u00a0reunion continues on Thursdays at 8\/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.<\/p>\n
