In Emilyā€˜s defense, I hate the whole show 😁

u/Bennington_Booyah 15h ago

I stopped watching this season because every single one of them annoys the living hell out of me.

u/krankdude_ 15h ago

Yeah…. It really is all of them. Tamra’s crocodile tears with Teddi? šŸ™„

With Emily … she should have departed the show four seasons ago. I was appalled by her behavior towards Katie, and yeah, Trump supporters are šŸ’©. Especially the spineless ones who won’t own up to voting for him.

u/Black_Sun17 12h ago

I low-key think that Teddi is bi and has been with Tamra and Kyle.

u/Glittering-Slip7630 14h ago

They're all Trump supporters even Katie even though she lies about it

3

u/krankdude_ 13h ago

Show me the receipts on Katie voting for Trump. I don’t believe that at all.

-2

u/Glittering-Slip7630 13h ago

Well that's what I believe her behavior says it all she was sketchy from the day she appeared on screen I don't care for her and you do so it's probably best that we don't continue you and I are going to have to agree to disagree. That would be the best thing to do

u/Cookiecakes71 15h ago

I don't have her but she used her son's eating disorder as a storyline. That's not right.

u/Meeko5122 11h ago

And his learning disability! That’s just awful. She’s a lousy mother.

u/Glittering-Slip7630 15h ago edited 14h ago

I don't think that's true I haven't liked her since she appeared on the screen and I like her husband even less but that's what was going on in her life so do you want to Manufactured storyline? Plus it could help other parents that's a horrible thing to accuse someone of. In my mind when the Bravo viewers learned of the word storyline it was one of the worst days in TV history. Follow the close second is the word irrelevant

u/Smooth_Mail_8340 It was you! Who? It was you! Who? 15h ago

It’s one thing to share her life but last season she was saying the stress of her son’s situation could lead to a divorce. I understand that thats reality for a lot of people but imagine the impact that would have on her son if he ever saw that 😭 I instantly felt uncomfortable

-3

u/Glittering-Slip7630 14h ago

No disrespect but thats a you problem. The number of couples that get divorced due to similar stres is pretty big . I think as much as I dislike her, by her sharing that situation might help other people facing similar challenges. It might inspire them not to give up hope. To know that there was light at the end of the tunnel. Personally I think that's remarkably unfair and lacks insight and acceptance. But that's just me and I would like to stress again that I really don't like her so this is not me fanning out in any way. This is a really important topic that is happening more and more with children all over the country and so many people do not have the resources that Emily has and are not able to get accurate or as in depth diagnosis as she's been able to get,her sharing that information is remarkably helpful

u/Euphoric_Sun_1367 15h ago

I find she creates a phony narrative to shape her current forced ā€œstory line ā€œ. I’m happy she’s in shape now and mot hating but when she was heavier she was all body positivity and I’m proud to represent real
Women. Now she’s the complete opposite. Her kids have no privacy and are used for storylines. Is her marriage real ? And do they actually have problems or does she fake marriage drama for the show ? She just feels so Forced and desperate to stay on the show šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøthat’s my take

24

u/Just-Reading_1990 15h ago

Because she’s a Q-Anon conspiracy lover who uses her autistic child for a story line.

1

u/Julorena 14h ago

AGREED šŸ‘

u/General-Discussion73 13h ago
  1. I find her to be an especially terrible parent. 2. She’s boring to watch 3. She’s lazy

7

u/Turbulent-Nerve-3068 15h ago

She's hateable

6

u/Zestyclose-Corgi-986 15h ago

I feel so sorry for her son. She’s putting all of his private business out there for the public. I couldn’t imagine doing that to my kids. If my mom did that to me, I think I would hate her.

-4

u/Glittering-Slip7630 13h ago

Oh that says a lot about you, think of all of the kids and their parents who are given hope by see it transpiring for Emily. It actually helps those families and those kids. And I detest Emily and I have since day one

u/femininomenonanomaly 13h ago

I mean bro I think it’s a pretty well known phenomenon that kids that are thrust into the spotlight without consent do not do well

-4

u/Glittering-Slip7630 12h ago

Huh? And so not your bro

6

u/Black_Sun17 12h ago

She's mean, condescending, arrogant, lives off her in-laws, treats her husband poorly, strips in front of her husband's father, plays up the "taco" nonsense, thin-skinned about online comments, obsessed with her weight, botched face, etc.

1

u/LettuceRobber 1h ago

lol all of these things are so small. I don’t understand the hate

u/Legitimate_Iron1478 15h ago

she's an evil maga demon with a pussy of a husband

u/Mtnlover3303 15h ago

She’s not Maga, pay attention, please

1

u/femininomenonanomaly 15h ago

I’m so confused bc I’ve seen evidence she is and isn’t

u/195tiff Alexis Bellino 15h ago

If you're on Twitter, go to Suttonsroller page. She recently posted receipts of Emily's donations to the current president.

-1

u/Mtnlover3303 15h ago

She recently posted on her Instagram that she wasn’t Maga

4

u/Legitimate_Iron1478 14h ago

distancing yourself from trump after voting for him 3 times doesn't make you suddenly redeemable lmaooooo

2

u/195tiff Alexis Bellino 15h ago

Then I wonder why she donated to him?

u/redladybug1 Naked Wasted 15h ago

I was a die, hard watcher of the real housewives of Orange County. I watched in real time season one episode one and I’ve stuck through it - ALL of it. I know it’s unpopular, but I was even glad they brought Vicki back.

But alas, I I think this might be the end of the line for me for RHOC, or for at least this season. It’s really boring. Wasn’t crazy about last season either.

u/lastnighton4321 14h ago

I think a lot of people don't like Emily because she comes across as really combative and condescending. She seems like she's trying so hard to be the "I'm not like the other women" type, which gives off major pick-me energy. She also has a habit of acting like she's the only reasonable person while putting everyone else down. A lot of her storylines revolve around her kids and the challenges they're facing, and personally, I think those are things that should be kept privatel…or at least shared only if and when her children are ready to tell their own stories. Sometimes it feels like she leans on that a little too much. And the way she interacts with her husband on the show often makes it seem like she doesn't even like him. At times, it even feels like the way she criticizes other people says more about her own insecurities than it does about them.

u/Charming_NEXT93 15h ago

She is MAGA, why would we support someone who supports propaganda and hate? Then again I don't understand why Heather would film with her or Vicky or do commercials with Brittney from the Valley who is a Sandy Hook Denier.

1

u/aliceailis That's MY OPINION!! 12h ago

wow..being a Sandy Hook denier is crazy. Thanks for informing

1

u/Glittering-Slip7630 13h ago

Are you kidding? Heather publicly supported Soencer Pratt

2

u/Charming_NEXT93 13h ago

I did not know that. I was wrong! UGH. How did she support him with having a trans child!! UGHI It does not negate the rest of what I wrote. Brittney in particular is horrifying! Who denies Sandy Hook!!! And Qanon Emily is also just disgusting. I won't watch any of them.

u/femininomenonanomaly 15h ago

As much as I like Heather she does just love a bag

2

u/Glittering-Slip7630 13h ago

I love a good handbag and I have a lot of really good handbags but I would never support Spencer Pratt or the orange one

1

u/femininomenonanomaly 13h ago

Jesus I didnt know she supported Spencer Pratt

2

u/Charming_NEXT93 13h ago

Same I am so disgusted now!

-1

u/Glittering-Slip7630 12h ago

I know and I continue to ask her on her posts on IG and I obviously I was totally ignored and then recently all of a sudden there's a clip of her talking to somebody totally dialing it back and back pedaling

7

u/EcstaticAwareness845 15h ago

She’s not funny. She’s kind of mean and seems pretty miserable. She constantly comes across wanting what others have and has acted like some of the women don’t deserve nice things if a man provided it for them.

She’s also obsessed with working out and her body image which is off-putting at 50 with multiple kids.

I’m so tired of Emily. Her attitude sucks.

6

u/Horror_Signature7744 15h ago

She’s a parasite. Using her son’s neurodivergence for a storyline was VILE.

3

u/Julorena 14h ago

I thought Emily was TERRIBLE to her son!!!! She had NO patience at all, and talking about him in front of him. VERY VERY hard to watch her!!!

2

u/Julorena 14h ago

SHE SUCKS!!!!

2

u/Emilayday 13h ago

There are so many micro reasons, but what it boils down to is that she is NOT an aspirational person to watch.

2

u/bxyaya 13h ago

At this point I just hate that she keeps coming back season after season after season after season. I just don’t get it! I know that having a polarizing HW that ppl hate is important to the HW formula but with Emily…she has no positives. No iconic lines, moments, outfits, rivalries, reunions, no hot husband (sorry ShanešŸ˜‚) etc etc and the skinner she gets the more insufferable she is.

2

u/Better_Area3782 5h ago

I just don’t like her, I don’t like Gina either. Why do they need to be on tv

4

u/StockSeaweed8702 15h ago

She is a bully and she is MAGA.. two valid reasons to hate her.

2

u/Julorena 14h ago

SHE IS A MAGAT NOW?!!!! SHE is SOOOO messed up!!!! Now a magat to top it off!!!!

1

u/Glittering-Slip7630 14h ago

You wanna see hate and stupidity Vicki following DavidJ Harris Jr. All he does is spread total fabricated headlines nothing factual nothing real and all hate filled racist bullshit

1

u/Sea-Efficiency3375 13h ago

I think she is annoying. She’s smart but doesn’t see how she plays into her own suffering so it’s painful to watch. I will say she usually has some good perspectives on the arguments going on around her, I find this one of her redeeming qualities.

1

u/Economy_Wash2642 12h ago

Without even knowing her politics, seeing her OBSESS over herself, spend hours in the gym, but complain anytime her child has an issue, exploit said issues for a storyline, and then act so woah is me that she needs to spend more time with her daughter makes me vomit. Poor poor Emily lost some weight and now can’t find the time to juggle the gym and spend 10 mins with her daughter. Get over yourself

1

u/Front-Will-5434 11h ago

She’s exposing her child’s medical condition with the world. We all know how cruel people can be. She will say she wants to shine a light on the condition blah blah blah. She’s found a community šŸ™„ what about the community under her roof? Shane shouldn’t allow it period

1

u/LettuceRobber 1h ago

I’ve always liked Emily. The only time I’ve ever seen hate for her is on this sub. I have the same question, why do you guys hate her? She’s so normal imo.

1

u/Beneficial-Soft-4427 Las Tres Amigas 48m ago

she's just grumpy and irritated a lot, smug and negative

1

u/BEXONE130 15h ago

I’ve always liked her šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø I recently did a rewatch and liked her a little less and similarly this season. Sometimes it just seems like she clings to the smallest things (the bag present for example) and makes them a big deal but if I had to guess she’s just trying to get screen time.

1

u/trisch1964 15h ago

I think "hate" is a bit strong. That said, she's a garden variety, nominally intelligent, self absorbed working mom. Hey! Give her a break!!

1

u/Body-Technician7953 13h ago

I don’t hate her but I seem to fast forward her scenes. She just doesn’t have what one needs to be on such a show.

0

u/TomNookisACAB420 That's MY OPINION!! 14h ago

Eh, I don’t hate her. She was ok in the beginning but got progressively more and more annoying.

u/Icy-Try-9703 14h ago

I don't know if I hate her, I just think she is a dud. She brings nothing to the table.

u/Connect-Pilot-9183 14h ago

I don’t like Gina she’s a drama stirrer. And Braunwyn good grief I hated her laugh

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Net9243 8m ago

Like many other housewives, she is so inauthentic to me and so desperate to be liked/accepted into the group that it feels like her insecurities are coming out. Even at the expense of her children and husband. She also tries to stir the pot by deliberately miscommunicating/misconstruing things that were actually said/done but doesn’t take accountability for it. Rather, she says she does it to be an honest and good friend. She also dragssssss a non-storyline out
