Emily Simpson says while filming the Real Housewives of Orange County she knew she didn’t want the show to end up like the Real Housewives of New Jersey where the cast is so divided and teams are involved.

During an interview with Emily Simpson, Variety pointed out how “castmates can descend into warfare, where each “team” will have each other’s back no matter what” pointing out that it was refreshing to see Emily Simpson take every situation case by case.

Emily Simpson replied that she is very analytical and that it’s “the attorney in me,” adding, “To me, the show is the most important thing, so I don’t want to see us end up somewhere like “New Jersey,” where you have a very divisive cast and people aren’t filming together. I’ve had people say: “Why didn’t you back up Shannon even more? Or why didn’t you tell Tamra off?”

Emily explains,” I’m going to tell Tamra what I think, but I’m not going to hate her and refuse to film with her. That way, I feel like there’s always a bridge and that we’re always a cast, as opposed to three people over here and three people over here who won’t be in the same room together. That’s when the show is dead.”

It has been said that Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga would not film scenes together but were both fine with being at the same events. Margaret Josephs also claimed she would not return next season if Teresa Giudice did.

The interviewee brought up the Real Housewives of New Jersey again saying that the background checks on Jennifer Pedranti’s partner Ryan started feeling close to the New Jersey territory in which Emily said,

“I heard a lot of stories about Ryan, too, so I wasn’t really surprised. I’ve googled him myself, because when there’s all these accusations flying around about someone, and I don’t like to speak to things unless I know what I’m talking about. I don’t just throw out accusations, I actually do the research on things.”

Emily Simpson continued, “On one hand, you do want to know who you’re filming with and who you’re associated with. Especially as an attorney, there were times where I was like: “I don’t know if I want to be connected to people that are involved in certain things.” So for me, that’s a gray area.”

Thoughts on what Emily had to say?

Loved Part 1 of the Reunion. Gina was the only one who didn't clock in. and i am loving that Tamra stayed calm lol. Emily summoned her inner Tamra lol And can we just give it to Emily that she knew more about Ryan's case than Jenn did.. obviously she doesn't read and she just knows what Ryan tells lol… she sure is Tammy Wynette. lol

Her being a non practicing attorney , I felt it was tacky her to ramble on about someone else’s legal matter . Has she nothing in her own life ever to discuss instead of tag teaming people with Gina? I’m tired . Did find it funny when she had to remind Tams she was telling her to apologize . Tammy seemed like she was high off her own products

I’m watching reunion. My gosh – is there any franchise left where there are no mean girl bullying gang ups? This is hard to watch . WTH did Katie actually do wrong or do severe to endure this disgusting behavior from heather Tamra and Emily? Btw Emily looks awful . She is hella annoying and Tamra is a giggling asshat bully .Poor jen.. they just want to investigate , attack and act like they know everything

Nothing new about these perfectly evened "teams". Next season it will be two others fighting … apply, lather, rinse, repeat. It's like musical chairs, but with assigned seating.

But Emily you do throw accusations out there , insults, and you think because you make yourself laugh that it’s funny – it’s not . You can be very mean girl at times which is gross when you Moms act that way

There is really no one I like on this show. I stopped watching with Emily and Gina. They add NOTHING to the show.

IKR? Five seasons in, and they still feel like occasional "friends of" (no one).

Emily makes sense to me like a good 95% of the time. No, she’s not perfect and yes, sometimes can be a pain in the azz but NEWSFLASH: we all can. If you have ever met ANYONE who has never been a pain the the azz, you have simply not spent enough time with that person. ? So yeah, I’m TEAM EMILY (except over that size 12 dress meltdown cuz girl…you know you’re a size 12 and there’s nothing wrong with that ?).
