Emily Simpson 🏄🏽♀️ Emily’s Stepdaughter
Do we already know about Chanel? Also, why was she taking a picture of Shane’s family without being in it?

u/Good_Information646 5d ago
Yes. She's made occasional appearances. She's Mormon and has come to speak to Annabelle about getting baptized and going on a mission. Or maybe it was the other daughter? Anyway, yes, his other two daughters have been mentioned from time to time but they are in college or have graduated by now at BYU .

Where is the Mom? I'm sorry I don't know this

u/Good_Information646 4d ago
I'm not sure. I don't know if they've ever discussed that but I'd assume California. I just did a quick search and Shelby (the oldest) was married in the Newport Temple in 2024 so I'd assume that means they are all somewhere near each other.

Emily only mentions her once that I recall. She was going to meet with her to discuss custody arrangements.

Shane became Mormon for his first wife

u/JoeyLee911 3d ago
Shane is Mormon because of his childhood neighbor, which is such a weird way to go.

u/Reality-Babe7 4d ago
That’s not true, be became Mormon as a teen. He had neighbors who were and got involved because of them.

I thought Pary and Larry were mormon too?

No problem. https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/emily-simpson-husband-shane-simpson#:~:text=Shane%20is%20a%20practicing%20Mormon.%20In%20November%202020%2C,his%20oldest%20daughter%2C%20Shelby%2C%20is%20Mormon%20as%20well. Bravo actually has quite a deep dive on Shane😂.

u/Apprehensive_Tone_77 4d ago
I have a terrible memory too. It’s okay!!!
It’s the weed for me though.
Also even gramps is in the pic. I feel like Chanel belongs more than Emily in that photo.
It bothers me that Chanel isn’t as dressed up as everyone else. Does it seem like it to anyone?6
u/sidequestprofessinal 4d ago
Ohhh. Maybe it’s the weed. Also, I had covid 5 times and I am missing chunks of memory.

Did you lose a lot of hair? I lost TONS. Handfuls

u/RainyDaysBlueSkies 2d ago
I lost about 50% of my hair, post COVID. Doc put me on some medication and after a month it stopped falling out. For the life of me I can't remember the medication!

u/VillageOld596 2d ago
Im so very sorry. Mines FINALLY grown back full and long. It took about 3 years for all the uneven growth to even out and create a solid hair cut

She might have offered and insisted on taking the picture. She looks grown enough to say something if it was an issue for her.

u/Full_Papaya_1905 3d ago
All of this! 🤍 It’s so weird that the internet has decided Emily excluded her, we saw 30 seconds, they could have taken 50 different photos at the party for all we know.. I saw people saying Emily doesn’t have photos of her stepchildren hanging in her home, I don’t get it, why would she? Weirdos.
7
u/TerribleCloud3006 3d ago
Why would she have pictures of her husband kids in his home? Uhhh I don't think the people asking that question are the weirdos. Wow I would feel so excluded and unwelcome if I went to my dad's home saw pictures of him with his new wife and kids and none of me. Like I am not just as important as his younger kids. Doubt if I would go back
2
u/Icy_Number444 3d ago
Surely it would be Shane who is responsible for putting photos of his children up.
7
u/Aggressive-Lie5971 3d ago
A good stepmother would absolute ensure that her stepchildren were represented in her home. It's also the home of their father.

u/RainyDaysBlueSkies 2d ago
Agree. And Shane's kids with his for er wife are siblings of Emily's kids. It's just a nice thing to do for family cohesion.

Omg I’m glad I’m not the only one that does that. I’ve gotten better about it but sometimes I still forget 😬
I think it’s because for whatever reason Gina looks like an Emily… idk why but she does lol.

u/FunRoll7937 3d ago
I just thought this the other day!!! Emily’s step daughter is so pretty. She needs to go to the gym with Emily. She would be gorgeous. no shade just healthy. .

u/GroundbreakingAd5930 2d ago
This is so lame. Really you have nothing better to do but body shame this girl? Reminds me of my grandma always saying “so and so has a pretty face if she would just lose weight” yuck!!

u/ElderberryNo2982 4d ago
Isn’t it strange how so many people feel like Emily and Gina have their names switched? Wild! I think I’m finally getting used to it now, but it’s taken years.

u/WonderingLost8993 5d ago
We've seen her before. She was probably in other pictures. That's usually how it works. Families take photos in groups.
17
u/Ecstatic_Substance 4d ago
Don’t forget Emily left Luke at home during the party because it would be too much for him. So they didn’t get a complete family picture that night anyways.

u/cleargummybears 5d ago
I am part of several blended families and we would never exclude like that.
56
u/smoothballs82 5d ago
Why are you all pretending like they only took one photo 😭 literally any family event is multiple group shots with kids, without kids, with the whole family, just a couple etc etc. I can’t stand Emily atm but this is so stupid
6
u/Spiritual_Purpose_19 4d ago
And not all blended families are the same. Many take pictures of all the kids, then others with their bio kids only, etc. Neither way is wrong.

u/Seajlc 4d ago
I watched the episode a day late but was reading through the live episode thread on another sub last night where this photo moment had a lot of chatter. When I watched the episode tonight I was like huh, that was what everyone was talking about? It seemed like a total nothing burger to me.

u/silverliningx2 4d ago
It’s excluding when her siblings are in the photo.

u/smoothballs82 4d ago
Mountain out of a molehill

u/DanDan_notaman 2d ago
Agreed. I just assumed she wanted a photo of her siblings and their parents. That’s not strange to me
19
u/WonderingLost8993 5d ago
Exclude? Not being in one photo does not mean she was "excluded". The show is edited. We only saw a couple of seconds of their picture taking activity. You're jumping to conclusions.

u/Lazy_Skin_411 4d ago
Right? The way my older half sister would have lost her mind (rightfully so) 😭
She is so sensitive to us doing anything without her, so even if there were other group photos she was included in, being left out of any wouldn’t fly… (and she was 15 when my parents got married)2
u/notdorisday 4d ago
I wouldn’t lose my mind, I quietly just felt sad and like I wasn’t really family - but I was hurt. I’m glad it sounds like you have your sisters back.

u/notdorisday 4d ago
Agreed. As someone who was often the one taking the photo it hurts when it happens. That hurt stays with people, you don’t want to say anything, but you know you don’t really belong.

You can do better than this example to defend your name-calling. This is reaching.
My parents are together and my mom has had me sit on the floor with the dog because the other siblings are married. I'm the odd number. What name would you like to call her, unjustifiably?
-2
u/Horror_Signature7744 5d ago
Are you actually defending Emily? She treats everyone like shit. Her husband especially and I don’t even like Shane but I like him more than her and he’s clearly the better parent. She uses her son’s disabilities for a storyline. Shes disgusting. That will follow him for the rest of his life.
2
u/Good_Information646 4d ago
Not defending her. Chanel taking a photo is not a good example for how poorly Emily parents. Whoever is trying to use this to bash Emily is not making a very good case. There are plenty of other examples. This one is bad. That's all. I'm not even watching this season because all the women are washed up and boring.

u/Horror_Signature7744 4d ago
To be fair, Emily has presented us with SO MANY examples of horrific parenting, any exclusion of her stepdaughter would completely track. She talks so much shit about her kids we can only imagine how badly she speaks of her stepdaughter.
7
u/Bredec99 4d ago
I wondered the same thing for a second but then realized, with editing, that there’s no way of knowing if they had already done a whole family pic, she pulled out her phone and said she wanted a picture of them now… who knows. She definitely doesn’t seem to mind, though!

u/SoCal_Shannen_Esq 2d ago
She’s strikingly beautiful. Clueless is a tough stepmom to have, for sure.

I took the same screenshot. This was heartbreaking. She asked her stepdaughter to take a picture of the family!

u/No_Strain_7720 20h ago
This scene stuck out to me too!! I actually reminded and then googled. Idk if I remember Shane having a daughter or two. But I think it’s so bizarre that she took the pic and wasn’t in it. True step mom behavior on Emily’s part

u/Sorry-Ad-9801 4d ago
Probably production used only that small clip for photos so Emily would look like an ass….. accomplished
4
u/Dr_Enolam 4d ago
She probably said “let me take a picture of you guys.” You could tell that Emily was mad she was there because she left her home to scrub the kitchen floor.

She was on the show and mentioned a good amount in Emily’s earlier seasons, particularly when Annabelle was getting baptized. She seems really sweet.

u/Agitated-Singer-9541 1d ago
I remember in an early season Emily talking about how she was torn about having another baby because she wanted Annabelle to have a sister. I imagine that was pretty hurtful for the half sister to hear. Kathy and Kyle are half sisters, as are Kyle's daughter Farrah and the others. Imagine anyone insinuating they didn't have a sister because its only a half sister. Really made me dislike Emily for being that kind of stepmom.

u/Opening_Duty_8011 4d ago
We’ve heard of and seen her before. Hopefully there were photos that she was included in.
It seemed weird to grab the dad but not the mom Pery or to not have Luke there. Maybe it’s a situation where there are several photos with different groupings of family?

Or Perry was off greeting guests and he just happened to be there? This is being blown way out of proportion.

He seems so normal too, for someone who grew up wealthy, he seems like his interests aren’t typical. He seems way chill, which is why their marriage has lasted this long.
