After the cast members of The Real Housewives of Orange County touched down in England in the last episode of season 18, the latest episode, 15, saw them go around London. The episode was released on October 17 and was titled Double Decker Drama after Gina and Heather’s fight on the iconic London vehicle.

It also saw Jen reprimanding the ladies for talking about her finances and those of her boyfriend Ryan. When the lot sat down for dinner, Jen confronted Heather and asked her if she commented on the dress she wore at the tea party. Heather said she called Tamra and discussed the price of her dress because she was worried for her.

She added that she only got to spend $6000 a month, so how was she going around buying a $2000 dress? Emily said she was living off of her boyfriend's money and didn't have anything of her own. Heather ended up apologizing for talking about Jen's finances, Tamra also owned up for her treatment of Jen. Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County came to X to criticize the cast members for taking the liberty to talk about Jen's finances.

"Who cares about Jen’s financial status? These women are so judgmental," said one fan.
"Why are Shannon and Tamra all in Jen’s pockets? She’s not asking them for money," said another fan.
"Tamra sure had a lot to say about Jen’s finances. Girl what business of it is yours?? Let Jen figure her own sh*t out," a third fan chimed in.
"I know Gina did not tell on Heather when Gina had been the one talking about Jen’s finances all season!!" another one wrote.

Some fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County questioned how Jen's finances concerned the other ladies for them to be talking about it on camera.

"I know Jen talks about her struggles, but it’s not anyone’s place to throw it in her face ON CAMERA. Are we friends or judges??" an X user said.
"OF COURSE Heather was being shady and judgy about Jen's dress!! 'I was concerned.' ABOUT WHAT? WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH YOU HEATHER?? And even IF it was real concern, you don't show that by talking behind Jen's back to Tamra - who has bad history with Jen. Like WHAT??" another X user said.

Some fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County called out Emily for saying Jen lived off her boyfriend's money

"News flash Emily, Jen does live a very high lifestyle on Ryan’s pockets just like you’re living on Shane’s trust fund and haven’t practiced law since 1863," a comment read.
"'You can text Archie' Really, Emily? Emily comments on how Jen is on a limited budget, no job, no real income yet Emily is pretty much in the same position living off her in-laws. Emily is nasty," another comment read.

Jen questions the ladies for talking about her finances on The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 episode 15

At dinner on episode 15 of The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18, Jen didn't hesitate to ask Heather if she talked to Tamra about her dress from the tea party.

Heather said she only questioned if the latter was wearing a $2000 dress because she was worried about her spending knowing she had a $6000 budget every month. Jen said that was last year and that she was out of that situation now.

When Emily said her boyfriend Ryan funded her, Jen said, "So what?" and urged the cast members to directly talk to her if her finances worried them instead of going behind her back. Heather agreed and apologized for doing so. Tamra also apologized for the ways she chose to express her opinion.


New episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 are released every Thursday, at 9 pm ET, on Bravo.
