‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ Drops Gretchen Rossi and Katie Ginella

Gretchen Rossi departs amid ongoing off-camera feud with Tamra Judge as most Season 19 cast members return for the milestone 20th season of RHOC.

  • On January 27, 2026, Variety reported that Gretchen Rossi, 47, will not return for The Real Housewives of Orange County's milestone Season 20.
  • During the finale and reunion episodes, a 2023 Twitter thread resurfaced posts described as transphobic, anti-vaccine and anti-abortion, reigniting Gretchen Rossi's feud with Tamra Judge.
  • Aside from Rossi and Katie Ginella, the rest of the Season 19 cast is expected to return for Season 20, including Gina Kirschenheiter, Heather Dubrow, Shannon Storms Beador, Emily Simpson and Jennifer Pedranti, while Ginella confirmed on Jan. 9 her exit after two seasons.
  • The 'tres amigas' reunion will reunite Vicki Gunvalson with Shannon Storms Beador and Tamra Judge, while executive producer Andy Cohen highlighted Gunvalson at BravoCon 2025.
  • Season 20 is set to begin filming soon as the Bravo franchise's history-making 20th season, and Gretchen Rossi's comeback as a 'friend' in Season 19 proved short-lived.
