What Do We Know About ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ Season 19?

Bravo has released a trailer for the upcoming season, which gives fans a glimpse of what they can expect. Rossi shared this video on her Instagram account on June 5. She has 1 million followers on this platform alone. “#RHOC Season 19. Here we go! Who’s ready? Airing July 10th,” she captioned the post.

The trailer teases what reality TV fans can expect to see during Season 19, including trips to Amsterdam and New Orleans. In the short clip, we also see a scene involving a lie detector test, which adds to the drama. But, one of the highlights for many people is the interaction between Judge and Rossi. “Twelve years you’ve been going after me,” Judge says, to which Rossi responds, “It’s not the same thing.” Rossi also appears to accuse Judge of having an affair. According to Deadline, their “feud gets resurrected.”

Their feud can be traced back to when Judge claimed she saw Rossi kissing another man while she was engaged to Jeff Beitzel. Judge had previously commented on this in Dave Quinn’s book, Not All Diamonds and Rosé: The Inside Story of the Real Housewives From the People Who Lived It. “Gretchen and I were good for a while,” Judge said in the book, People reports. “The problem was, Vicki [Gunvalson], Jeana Keough, and I were out at an event at the St. Regis one night, and we saw Gretchen there with this younger guy, sitting on his lap and kissing him.”

Speaking of Rossi allegedly not wearing her engagement ring, Judge said: “She said, ‘Oh, it’s in my purse, it’s too big, and it keeps falling off.'”
