After an explosive finale on October 30, The Real Housewives of Orange County star Katie Ginella is opening up about her mindset heading into the highly anticipated Season 19 reunion, and she’s making it clear that she’s focused on growth, not drama.
“A lot of people have been messaging me, ‘Come with receipts! Come prepared!’ but my goal is not to take anybody down,” Katie revealed during The Real Housewives of Orange County After Show. “My goal is not to expose something about somebody, because I was on the receiving end of that last year, and it felt horrible, you know? I just hope I can move forward.”
Still, fans know that reunions rarely come without surprises — and when asked by a producer if she’d be bringing along her now-famous lie detector results, Katie played coy.
“You’ll see,” she teased, joking, “FedEx Kinko’s knows my name.”
It’s not the first time Katie has hinted that the reunion could be a turning point. Back in September, she told E! News that there might be “the possibility of a fresh start.”
“That’s what everybody hopes, right?” she said. “This show is about conflict resolution, and I think I’m owed some apologies. I’ve given enough out.”
As the cameras get ready to roll, Katie admits she’s feeling a mix of emotions about facing her castmates — including Tamra Judge, Emily Simpson, Shannon Storms Beador, Jennifer Pedranti, Gretchen Rossi, Gina Kirschenheiter, and Heather Dubrow.
She described herself as “part confident and part extremely nervous” ahead of the taping.
Fans won’t have to wait long to see how it all unfolds. The three-part RHOC Season 19 reunion kicks off Thursday, November 6 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo, with extended uncensored versions streaming the next day on Peacock.
