Emily Simpson is so busy, between raising her three children with her husband, Shane Simpson, and working on her law-centered projects.
How to Watch
The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member is a lawyer by trade, and has continued to pursue projects in that area, along with focusing on her family, even though she is no longer practicing. Together with Shane, also a lawyer, the couple hosts the weekly podcast, Legally Brunette.
In a recent interview with The Daily Dish, Emily opened up about her favorite things about hosting a podcast with Shane that is all about the law. “I love doing a legal podcast because it gives me the ability to still feel like I’m in that world cause I do so much research for it,” she admitted.
“And so, it allows me to research cases and read about things and really think about it and come up with a plan of what we’re gonna talk about, so I really enjoy it,” she noted. “I feel like I get to be a nerd, like a law nerd again. And then do it in an entertaining way cause it’s done really well.”
