The ladies of The Real Housewives of Orange County are back for a 19th season on Bravo. And while Tamra Judge temporarily quit midway through production, she doesn’t seem to have missed out on any of the drama. In fact, she’s right at the center of it in the just-released trailer.
As the clip begins, the cast is seen undergoing polygraph tests as Shannon Beador, 61, says, “There’s a snake in this group,” and Tamra, 57, declares, “No one likes a liar,” and others warn of the “truth.”
“You’re talking about Captain Evil,” Slade Smiley, 51, who makes his triumphant return alongside longtime partner Gretchen Rossi, 46, declares in the sneak peek, immediately picking up where he and Gretchen left off with Tamra.
“Twelve years you’ve been going after me!” Tamra yells while clapping.
“It’s not the same thing,” Gretchen replies.
Then accusations of an affair, potentially behind the back of Tamra’s husband, Eddie Judge, 52, are made.
“Gretchen said that you had an affair,” Emily Simpson, 49, informs Tamra as she later asks about potential “audio of [someone] having sex” and Tamra insists “she’s lying.”
Also facing marital turmoil are Emily and Shane Simpson, whose son Luke is “in crisis.”
“We’re gonna end up divorced,” Emily states.
Meanwhile, Gina Kirschenheiter, 41, opens up to Shannon about her and boyfriend Travis Mullen‘s drama with his ex-wife, sharing that they haven’t seen Travis’ son in three weeks and that he was having to “go back to court.”
“Whenever Travis and I are happy, we pay for it,” she explains.
Katie Ginella, 41, is also back and at odds with her castmates.
“Katie’s like a silent assassin,” Tamra alleges as Shannon tells their co-star, “What you did is illegal.”
As the trailer continues with trips to New Orleans and Amsterdam, Heather Dubrow, 56, meets with Josh Altman, 46, and Josh Flagg, 39, about the sale of her $25 million Beverly Hills home, and she is questioned about whether she’d rather be on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
She’s also seen butting heads with Gretchen, who yells, “Make it make sense! Why!?”
Then, during a dinner date with Jennifer Pedranti, 47, who is in the midst of planning her wedding to Ryan Boyajian and doesn’t want Tamra there, Heather is told, of Tamra, “That f*cking woman caused so much pain.”
On a lighter note, Shannon is “ready to mingle” as she confirms in the lie detector test that she made out with multiple men in Newport.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 premieres on Thursday, July 10, at 9/8c on Bravo.
