‘RHOC’ Exclusive Clip: Shannon Beador Confronts Katie Ginella About Secretly Recording Her Meltdown Behind Her Back 

Katie Ginella is remaining in the hot seat in this week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

The former golf reporter entered her sophomore season on Bravo feuding with Emily Simpson and Tamra Judge, both of whom accused her of speaking to bloggers to their detriment. Ginella also found herself in trouble with one of her two allies, Shannon Beador, after Judge revealed that she had recorded Beador having a meltdown at the cast promo shoot behind her back.

In an exclusive clip from tomorrow night’s episode, the two women come face to face for the first time since Beador learned of Ginella’s wrongdoing, and things don’t seem to go well.

Beador appears completely disinterested in rekindling a friendship with Ginella, and she tells her date (a.k.a. Bravo’s Love Hotel star Phill Westbrooks) as much when he jokingly attempts to sit her down with her co-star.

“No, I do not want to sit over there! No!” she fumes.

However, that doesn’t stop Ginella from approaching Beador. As the other ladies slowly notice the two sitting down together, they wonder how the conversation is going to go.

“I’m hoping that it’s not gonna be bad,” returning star Gretchen Rossi says, to which Simpson replies, “Oh, it’s gonna be bad.”

Ginella begins their chat by profusely apologizing to Beador for recording her without her knowledge, which occurred around the same time Alexis Bellino and John Janssen claimed to have videos of the veteran Housewife from the night of her 2023 DUI.

“I am very, very, very, very sorry. I did not mean to hurt you in any way. I have no excuse,” Ginella says, explaining that she tried to give Beador “context” in the apology text she had previously sent.

But Beador quickly fires back, “No, you were giving me excuses. That is not an apology.”

All I could think about while I was watching this clip was: what does Phill think?! He might’ve spent a handful of time in Cabo with four Real Housewives stars, but is he ready to be fully integrated into the Bravo universe and all the drama that comes with it? We’re not sure, but it certainly looks like he’s living his best life, especially at that sushi bar!

See how it all unfolds when the new episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Thursday night at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
