During Season 19, Emily described that one of the more severe issues her son Luke is facing is separation anxiety, and shared that it gives her “mom guilt” to film
RHOC. She revealed more of her conversation with her husband Shane Simpson“He said, ‘You know, Emily, you know if you quit you’re basically just giving in to his wants and needs and he’s not learning how to cope,’” Emily shared on the

Emily Simpson opens up about a challenging moment filming the RHOC cast trip to Amsterdam
While Emily, Tamra and the other ‘Wives were on a cast trip to Amsterdam, producers revealed Emily was woken up by a call from Shane in Episode 17.
“Shane calls, and like, he’s so f—king frustrated,” Emily told Gina Kirschenheiter the next morning. “And I get it, because I’ve been in the situation. Annabelle had cheer practice, and he had to go pick her up, and Luke was just losing it.”
The episode showed a flashback to the call, where Shane added, “He doesn’t want to go to soccer. He doesn’t want to do his homework. Started throwing food. So, I lost it.” Emily replied, “You make me feel so bad! What am I supposed to do? I’m in another country!”
It was another moment during Season 19 of Shane and Emily clashing over how to best parent Luke. In Episode 2, Emily told a producer, “Shane is a good man and he’s a good dad. But I have a son that’s in crisis, and it’s like we’re not even on the same page. And I just … feel alone in that.”
Emily confessed to Gina in the Oct. 30 episode that she was concerned about Shane while she was away. “Shane’s never lost it, when it comes to the kids. So, for him to just f—king lose it, and I’m here, I feel like such a s—ty mom. I’m not even at home, I’m here,” she admitted.
How the RHOC ‘Wives offered support to Emily Simpson during filming
Gina was quick to reassure Emily in the Oct. 30 episode that she shouldn’t feel any “mom guilt” about being away from her children. “You have to take care of yourself too, Emily. And so does Shane, and you cannot let it break you guys,” she added.
Emily was frank about the toll Luke’s health issues were taking on her and her marriage. “I think what’s so hard is that this is a journey, and it’s a long journey. It’s not like he can just go to therapy and then he’s better. It just makes me feel like I can’t ever go anywhere,” she shared in her confessional interview.
Emily revealed that the ‘Wives have been a sympathetic ear during her struggles, and also offered much-needed support.
“It’s about someone saying, ‘I see you. You’re a good mom,’” she added during the After Show. “There were so many times when like Gina or Heather [Dubrow] or Tamra would just say, ‘You’re doing the best you can. You’re a good mom.’ And that’s really what I needed to hear. It wasn’t about advice or logistically telling me what I should do, it was just saying, ‘You’re a good mom.’”
We Need To Talk About Julia Lemigova’s Bombshell On RHOM Immediately-quang
The Real Housewives of Miami. Julia Lemigova threw a theoretical grenade when she admitted that she and fellow Housewife Adriana de Moura slept together on a cast trip four years prior.
The admission caused audible gasps from the group. It’s one of the first times Housewives admitted to a sexual relationship with each other. The series has been on an uphill trajectory ever since returning to screens after a hiatus before season 4, and this bombshell just solidified it as one of the top cities in the
Real Housewives franchise.
Julia Lemigova And Adriana de Moura Allegedly Slept Together
In the first part of RHOM’s Season 7 reunion, Julia Lemigova sought to clarify some of her more emotional reactions this season: she and her former best friend, Adriana de Moura, had slept together while on a cast trip to the Hamptons.
The cast was speechless, leaving many with unanswered questions. At first, Adriana laughed at Julia’s claim and denied the accusation. However, little by little, secrets came out that proved the two were intimate on more than one occasion.
“I never scissored anybody!”
According to Bravo, Adriana claimed the two “kissed” and slept in the same bed but never had sex. Julia, on the other hand, disputed that they had sex and played around on another occasion.
Interestingly, although Adriana denies sleeping with Julia, she later told Julia that she would have taken her secret to “her grave,” admitting that they had fooled around occasionally.
“You are such a fool. I would’ve kept your secret to the grave. And when I told you, ‘I’m gonna break the fourth wall,’ it wasn’t about any of that…”
The drama didn’t stop there. Andy began asking more questions about their alleged encounters, especially because Julia was still married to her wife, Martina Navratilova.
Julia told the host that Martina knew about her rendezvous with Adriana and that, at the time, her marriage was not great. The two have been married since 2014 and welcomed two sons through adoption. Julia affirmed that she and Martina are in a better place today, but she didn’t want Julia to air her dirty laundry on the air.
The episode ended with Adriana and Julia at a standstill over their friendship. Although both women were hurt, Julia wasn’t against the idea of remaining friends. A resolution to the debacle will (hopefully) be shown in Part 3.
What Does This Mean For The Cast For Season 8 Of RHOM?
The cast was divided by the end of The Real Housewives of Miami’s seventh season. Guerdy Abraira, Stephanie Shojaee, and Lisa Hochstein were on one side of the reunion couch with Adriana de Moura, while Julia Lemigova was on the other with Alexia Nepola, Larsa Pippen, Kiki Barth, and Marysol Patton.
A divided cast is the norm on The Real Housewives, but an alleged sexual encounter between castmates, where both women share different sides, is a jaw-dropping storyline for the franchise that could alter its future.
Fans saw a dramatic change when a similar situation happened in season 10 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills when Brandi Glanville alleged that she and Denise Richards slept together. Denise denied the allegations and was visibly upset for the remainder of the season. Neither woman came back for season 11.
Now that Julia and her wife are in a better place in their marriage and have two new kids in their family, it will be interesting to see if they come back for season 8. The same can be said for Adriana, who has been a part of the series since season 1.
Regardless of their presence in season 8, RHOM continues to give audiences everything they’re looking for in reality TV and remains one of the franchise’s top cities.
