How to Watch
Amid explosive drama between Shannon Storms Beador and Katie Ginella during The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19, Episode 3, Heather Dubrow also entered the chat with her own bombshell, courtesy of Alexis Bellino.
During an outing in the July 24 episode, Shannon vented to Heather and Jennifer Pedranti that she was miffed by a text from Katie apologizing for secretly recording her having a “meltdown” during the previous season’s gallery shoot. Katie had apparently told her that “no one” heard the audio, other than her husband, Matt Ginella.
When Shannon indicated that she didn’t believe her, Heather confirmed her suspicions.
“Can I tell you something?” Heather chimed in. “Emily [Simpson]Â told me the other day that this all happened. So, on my way to hot pot, I called Alexis. She said, ‘We were at lunch. [Katie] played it for me.’ She couldn’t remember if Jenn was there or not.”

Though Jenn insisted that Katie never played the recording for her, Heather added in a confessional that she “100 percent” believed Alexis, noting that Jenn sometimes “doesn’t remember all the details.”
“There’s no coming back from that,” Heather declared to Shannon and Jenn. “Katie has crossed so many lines.”
Katie Ginella denies Heather Dubrow’s claim about Alexis Bellino
At the hot pot lunch in Episode 2, Gina Kirschenheiter exposed to Shannon (and the rest of the group) that the recording existed while repeating Tamra Judge’s claim that Katie had “sent the video to Alexis.” From that moment on, Katie maintained that she only shared it with Matt.
“You came in and you were screaming, and I recorded on a voice note and sent it to Matt,” she explained to Shannon, denying that there was a video. “No one has listened to that but my husband.”
Katie admitted that she had “discussed it with Alexis,” however, amidst Shannon’s then-active lawsuit with her ex (and Alexis’ fiancé) John Janssen.

She doubled down on those claims while having a one-on-one with Shannon at Heather’s birthday party during RHOC‘s July 24 episode.
“Do you know who it went to, Shannon? My husband,” Katie said. “Alexis never heard it.”

Shannon, meanwhile, still refused to believe that Katie hadn’t shared the recording with Alexis, nor did she have any interest in accepting Katie’s profuse apology.
“Katie, no apology will ever measure up to how much you violated me,” she fumed at Heather’s birthday bash. “I will never, ever speak to you again. You are the most evil person I have ever met.”
The dustup intensified further as Katie attempted to further defend herself, prompting Gina and Jenn to walk over.
“This girl, worse than Alexis Bellino, worse than Tamra Judge,” Shannon ranted to her castmates, before looking back at Katie to declare, “We’re done!”
