"Worth every excruciating moment— The Real Housewives of Orange County fans divided by Emily's argument with Heather and Alexis

The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 aired episode 11 this week on Thursday, September 19, 2024. During the segment, the cast gathered for Jenn's Fiesta night where they played games and tried to let loose. However, Tamra's inquiry about Heather's upcoming clothing brand led to an argument between Heather and Emily.

While explaining that she felt "singled out" by Heather, the cast member mentioned that she and Alexis were made to wear the same dress. The latter felt Emily was blaming her and got involved in the argument.

Fans of the show reacted to the argument online and were divided by Emily's behavior. While they praised her for yelling at Alexis, they felt she was "projecting" her feelings onto Heather. One person wrote on X:

"Hearing Emily tell Alexis to shut up was worth every excruciating moment of this show."

""Alexis DOES need to shut up. Her name was only mentioned because Emily said Alexis had the same dress. She wasn’t blaming her for anything, saying anything negative about her, or mad at her. Alexis made it about herself. And why IS she always there?" a fan commented.

"Emily is clearly going through some body dysmorphia. Alexis used that to play victim. Emily never blamed her for being a size 2. Y’all coming after Emily for this is weird & hinders people who are struggling with body issues to speak about it and get the support they need," a tweet read.

The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 fans reacted to Emily's argument with Heather:

"“I don’t even know why you are talking” Emily to Alexis. Heather did apologize. Heather did act concerned. Emily overreacted. She still feels sad about the fashion show and is taking it out on Heather. There was nothing Heather could have said that would have satisfied her," a person wrote.

"I didn’t like when Emily yelled at Heather. But the way she handled Alexis she totally redeemed herself at the end of the episode, in my eyes," a fan commented.

"I do see Emily’s point however she went about it the wrong way. I don’t believe Heather would intentionally do that to her at all, but clearly Emily should’ve done this in private with her. At least she cussed out Alexis for fun tho lol," a tweet read.

The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 fans further said:

"Listen I’m not Emily’s biggest fan, but clearly this has been eating at her and she expressed her emotions. She even said she doesn’t think Heather was being malicious (although Heather literally said “the dress was too tight on her” in her confessional, which was rude)," a person wrote.

"Emily, why are you projecting your insecurities on Heather?" a fan commented.

Emily clashes with Heather and Alexis in The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 episode 11

In The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 episode 11, titled, Singled Out, Emily Simpson opened up about feeling singled out during Heather Dubrow's charity event.

She explained that she was the only one asked to bring a pair of jeans while doing the measurements for the dresses. She also pointed out that she and Alexis Bellino were put in the same dress.

Heather apologized and clarified her intention was the opposite, as she wanted to make Emily feel like the star of the show. The two The Real Housewives of Orange County cast members argued and Katie termed Heather's behavior as defensive. When Emily stated that Heather didn't apologize, the latter got offended and said she did apologize.

Alexis interjected as she felt Emily was blaming her because she felt a certain way. Jenn and Gina explained to Alexis that she was not blaming her but the cast member didn't listen and another argument ensued.

The Real Housewives of Orange County star asked Alexis to "shut up" when she came to Heather's defense, which further escalated the argument. Heather walked away from the situation and Alexis quickly followed.

"shut the f*ck up. You're not involved in this. You're not a friend, shut the f*ck up," she added.
