Katie Ginella has a theory as to why most of her Real Housewives of Orange County costars can't seem to give her a break. "I think these women were looking for anything to point out that I've done wrong," Katie, 41, exclusively shared with Us Weekly while promoting the Bravo show on Thursday, July 31. "I think I was really well received [in my first season]. I'm so thankful for everybody being so kind, and I think that was like, 'OK, well, we're going to point out things she did wrong if she's so well received.'" Viewers met Katie when season 18 kicked off in July 2024.
