Katie Ginella Accuses RHOC Star Heather Dubrow of Arranging Paparazzi Photo with Husband for Image Management

Katie Ginella, the latest addition to the Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC), is adamant about her allegations against co-star Heather Dubrow. Ginella accuses Dubrow of orchestrating a paparazzi photo shoot with her husband, Dr. Terry Dubrow, to enhance her public image amidst ongoing rumors of marital difficulties. In a recent interview, Ginella hinted at possessing additional evidence to substantiate her claims.

During her guest spot on the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast hosted by Page Six on September 16, 2024, Ginella opened up about the escalating conflict with Heather Dubrow. She revealed that during Season 18 of RHOC, she shared a text message from a friend that allegedly validates her accusations against Dubrow.

Katie Ginella Reinforces Allegations Against Dubrow, Teases More Evidence Ahead

“There is more,”Katie declared during the interview, referring to additional evidence she asserts she possesses. She and her husband, Matt Ginella, who have worked in the media field for two decades, trust the source from a well-respected photo agency. Katie mentioned that when she inquired if Dubrow had arranged the paparazzi shoot herself, the contact replied with a “yes.”

However, Ginella opted not to reveal further specifics to safeguard her source’s identity.

“I’m not going to share our personal text because I respect his job, and I respect his position,”she explained.

“I guess it’s going to look like that’s not a good enough receipt, but I’m going to be respectful to a friend, a dear friend.”

The speculation surrounding Heather Dubrow’s alleged interactions with paparazzi originated from an incident in 2022. Amid swirling rumors of marital tension and infidelity, the Dubrows were photographed together at Disneyland.

Heather and Terry Dubrow have both denied the cheating allegations. However, the paparazzi snapshots intensified speculation that the couple was attempting to project a united front.

This controversy gained traction during RHOC Season 17 while Ginella was not yet part of the cast. She brought up her alleged evidence during her introduction to the reality series in Season 18, leading to intensified conflict with Heather Dubrow, who has consistently denied orchestrating a paparazzi shoot.

“Heather said, ‘I didn’t call, I didn’t call,’”Ginella shared on the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast.

“Well, that doesn’t mean your assistant or a friend [didn’t]. It’s pretty obvious.”

Katie Ginella also implied that Dubrow’s denials might be based on semantics, suggesting that someone in Heather’s close circle might have made the arrangements.

As it stands, there seems to be no potential for reconciliation between the two RHOC stars. Katie confirmed that she and Heather are not on speaking terms, and her paparazzi source has opted to remain distanced from the unfolding drama.

“They kind of just disengage,”she noted, adding, “But I do know that there’s more.”

As the season unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Ginella will disclose further evidence to support her accusations or if the conflict will escalate during the forthcoming reunion episodes.

Fans can catch the evolving drama between Ginella and Dubrow in new RHOC Season 18 episodes premiering every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
