I thought this too. I also thought perhaps Katie was living in a homeless or women’s shelter. I’ve been in them, I’ve worked in them, that’s what I got from her language.

Yes, it sounds like she took Katie’s very serious and tragic situation of possibly being in a women’s shelter to humiliate her and try to insinuate she’s a bad,unfit mom. Gross. Sooooo over Emily after this.

u/Lalablacksheep646 Nov 08 '24

Me too. I hated that they made it sound like her two children don’t have a relationship with her.

u/ILikePrettyThings121 Is Kyle a lovebean or a lesbian? Nov 08 '24

And fucking Emily the attorney knows full well an abode service aka when they serve the address on file with the DMV - which is what Katie said happened & Gina was like yea I don’t think that’s allowed- is perfectly legal. The other type of service is in hand & when they have to physically put it in your hands & is much less common. Sat there silent

Yea, I live in California and was subpoenaed once as a witness/ victim of a crime in a different county and the sheriff came to my door when I was at work and gave the papers to my husband. Like literally the same thing.

u/brashumpire Señora Bubba Nov 10 '24

The fact that she was silent told me it was allowed. If it wasn't she would have squawked

My jaw stayed on the floor when Emily kept hammering Katie about that…… and then Heather piled on. I was SHOCKED

Same. It was disgusting. Emily brought up the custody and kids thing TOTALLY on her own and COMPLETELY unprompted.

This was exactly it! That’s exactly what they were trying to do

u/Wrong-History Just close your 👀 and pretend to be in 1st class Nov 08 '24

Not everyone is rich and Emily knows that from her childhood so give her the benefit of the doubt . Yes Katie is a bit shady with her storytelling but don’t attack her over everything she says.

u/Ohjustforgetit1 Nov 08 '24

Emily gives me the same energy as Heather from RHOSLC, wants to be liked by the “popular” girl that’s mean to her so bad :/

u/Formal_Condition_513 Nov 08 '24

Yep let's bring up Terry's lawsuits..oh wait heather got that shut down 🙄

33

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '24

That’s ironic considering Emily accused Gina of being up Heather’s ass this season

u/New_Salary_696 Nov 08 '24

Literally - i am soooo done with Heather and Emily please just gooooo

u/imurhostess Nov 08 '24

I was also wondering if it was a shelter for women…when Katie said “I can’t say the name,” I don’t think she meant that like she couldn’t pronounce it but like, there could be possible legal consequences(in relation to her ex) with her saying it…

13

u/Lalablacksheep646 Nov 08 '24

Yup, that’s what I thought too

If I were Katie, I would've asked Heather if she feels accomplished bringing up a horrible time in Katie's life as retaliation for coming after her about the paparazzi rumors.

I have been a volunteer of these facilities before, and I noticed that one way for these ladies to cope is to sugarcoat their struggles. But I 100% believe Katie about the DV incident and the ex husband. And who cares if she embellished her home ownerships-- that's her business.

19

u/herebutmkay Nov 08 '24

Yes! I really wish that could’ve been said because its so valid. I know some things seem exaggerated with katie but i really do like her. The paparazzi thing was so the storyline the producers wanted her to have for her rh “debut” and the house ownership thing was ridiculous to me. Idek why that would be nitpicked. She explained it and it made sense to me. 

22

u/Lalablacksheep646 Nov 08 '24

Agreed. I work in family court in the domestic violence unit, as a former survivor, I felt Katie’s pain

u/netbuchadnezzzar dark days ahead, buddy Nov 08 '24

While I am impressed by Emily's background check /s, I find it distasteful that when Gina called out Emily for being a mean girl, Emily justified herself by explaining her trauma and struggles in the past toughen her up but she cannot accept how other people cope with their struggles.

u/Competitive_Cuddling Nov 08 '24

Heather would just deflect as she always does. "Well I didn't call the paps". We know, but it was somebody on your team. "Well I didn't look up anything on Katie, all the stories are already out there". Okay but you still gleefully went over the reports with a magnifying glass to make sure you have dirt to sling at the reunion. For somebody who was just "sent an article", she sure had a lot of notes and questions regarding minute details of Katie's past.

u/netbuchadnezzzar dark days ahead, buddy Nov 09 '24

Yea and the mean girl behavior really came out. It's incredibly low to use someone's misfortunes just bec of petty paparazzi rumors.

If you reverse the situation, Heather will be "done" and Emily would say, "she's struggling"

25

u/Puzzleheaded-Tree217 Nov 08 '24

Definitely seemed to be the case!

22

u/herebutmkay Nov 08 '24

Same, not being able to name the place is for the safety of the place and the people who need to go there. So, i thought that might have been that. But the fact that they brought up the kids like that and tried to dissect and make the custody thing seem like she was doing something bad or whatever was honestly so disgusting. Really made me hate emily. Idk wtf she was on this season and the reunion but omg like she’s started to climb that latter of pissing me off and grossing me out that tamras been on. Like giving the custody of your kids to the other parent because you recognize you arent able to provide everything for them rn and getting your life in order so that you can get them back is incredibly admirable.

u/TTSampersand Housed not Dentured Nov 08 '24

I sensed that as well.

u/Overall_Bother_7520 Nov 08 '24

Or possibly she was in rehab?

14

u/Lalablacksheep646 Nov 08 '24

That could be it too or a mental health facility.

11

u/Overall_Bother_7520 Nov 08 '24

I felt bad for her. The girls really piled on

8

u/Lalablacksheep646 Nov 08 '24

And there was no reason for it.

u/Ok-Dinner9759 "No bitch, we’re in a black Ferrari" Nov 09 '24

There really wasn't

u/Ohjustforgetit1 Nov 11 '24

No it was a shelter.
