"Enough already" — The Real Housewives of Orange County fans react to Katie bringing up her feud with Heather

The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 returned with a new episode on Thursday, August 29, 2024. The episode, titled "Once a Traitor, Always a Traitor," saw the cast members confront the challenges they faced in their lives, followed by a murder-mystery-themed party where the Tres Amigas came face-to-face to address their issues.

In one segment of the episode, The Real Housewives of Orange County new cast member Katie Ginella confided in Jennifer Pedranti about her feud with Heather Dubrow. For the unversed, she previously accused Heather of allegedly calling the paparazzi to take photos of her and her husband, Dr. Terry Dubrow.

Although she claimed she had text message receipts to support her claim, Heather denied her allegations. In the latest episode, Katie confessed she wanted to move on. She revealed she received no response from Heather despite reaching out to her. At the same time, she refused to "beg" for her forgiveness.

Fans of the show were unimpressed when Katie raised the topic again. They hoped she moved on and stopped with the snide remarks about the cast member. Netizens took to X to express their views on the matter.

"Katie is really grating on my nerves. Heather is saying she doesn’t want to rehash it just drop it and move on. Enough already," a fan wrote.

"heather doesn’t want or need you to beg, katie. get over yourself," a person commented.

"katie doesn’t have to kiss heather’s a**, but like… you brought this up lol," another user reacted.

While some The Real Housewives of Orange County fans criticized Katie for her contemptuous remarks, many thought they were entertaining.

"“I’m not kissing Heather’s a**. I’m not Gina.” Okay maybe Katie got a giggle out of me," a netizen tweeted.

"“Was that her acting?? Before my time.” KATIE OOOOOOF she’s been a shade assassin tonight!" another user wrote.

"It’s not Princess Heather, it’s Queen Heather. Get it straight Katie and learn your place," another person wrote.

In the meantime, fans wished Katie dropped the issue and moved on.

"If you constantly bring it up Katie and Heather doesn’t care about it anymore maybe you should take a hint," a person commented.

"I like Katie and believe Katie feeling the coldness from Heather (WHO I DIE FOR OMG) but I need her to not lean on invisible fights on TV and share more of her life. I also blame production for limiting what we see," a fan tweeted.

"Katie and Heather choose to move on... Yet every confessional Katie is bashing Heather. Katie sucks and needs to go. She is insecure its very clear she came into the season to Target Heather. Girl bye," another fan reacted.

The Real Housewives of Orange County star Katie tried to apologize to Heather in the latest episode

During a yoga session with Jennifer, Katie reflected on her relationship with Heather. When Jennifer asked how she tackled the aftermath of her feud with the cast member, Katie said she was "taking it all in still." She revealed she reached out to Heather after Big Bear.

Although over a week had passed, she had not received a reply from The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member.

"She was complaining, "Oh, Katie didn't send me a text." So, I did. And then crickets," Katie said.

While speaking to the cameras, The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member stated she would not beg on her "hands and knees" for "Princess" Heather's forgiveness. She explained she was not Gina who would go to extreme lengths to impress Heather.

"If she wants to talk, great. If she doesn't want to talk, great. It's not like, it's necessary for me," Katie mentioned.

Later in the episode, Heather invited Katie to an event she would host. While Katie accepted the invitation, Heather stated in her confessional that she called the cast member for the sake of it. She added she would not go out of her way to make her feel left out.

Katie attempted to apologize to Heather for being "nosy" about the paparazzi incident. However, Heather interrupted her and said:

"I don't wanna relitigate everything, honestly. It's unimportant. We don't know each other and I hope you actually get to know me now."

While speaking to the cameras, Katie confessed The Real Housewives of Orange County star would not let her move on from the incident because she did not let her finish her sentences.
