The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19 finale ended with a mystery worthy of a Bravo true-crime spinoff, and now, both Gretchen Rossi and Alexis Bellino are weighing in.
After viewers watched Shannon Storms Beador, Jennifer Pedranti, and Gina Kirschenheiter meet with a blogger who accused Tamra Judge of leaking behind-the-scenes information, fans immediately began speculating about the identity of the, anonymous voice that was disguised. One theory that caught fire online? That the caller was none other than Slade Smiley.
But Gretchen Rossi was quick to shut that down. Taking to Instagram, she wrote, “It’s not Slade & all the cast production can verify that.”
Meanwhile, Alexis Bellino shared her own reaction to the shocking finale moment during an appearance on Carlos King’s Reality with the King podcast.
“This was a lightbulb moment for me,” Alexis confessed. “Because for them to be able to use that recording of a muffled voice, as a producer, I’m asking you this, the show had to have that person sign off to be on national television, correct?”
The moment clearly raised red flags for the returning Housewife, who then offered Tamra some pointed advice: “You need to get from production who that phony voice is and get to the bottom of that.”
With Gretchen denying Slade’s involvement and Alexis questioning how production handled the mysterious recording, the finale left fans with more questions than answers. And are producers actually okay with Tamra sharing the entire season with bloggers?
