"Heather and Emily attacking Katie and not even letting her talk - annoying!!! Awful women."
"I will die on this sword. It doesn’t matter whether it was the daughter or the sons. Both Emily and Katie have been very vocal about how Heather annoys them. So… there is no new information or opinions. This is a GIANT who cares!!!!" a fan commented.
"It’s obvious that Emily & Heather made a pact to show a united front together against Katie for this reunion. And it’s too much and seriously it makes them look worse than Katie because they are coming on too aggressively," a tweet read.
Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County defended Katie's daughter.
"Katie's daughter is a young adult... Who uses Social media. She is protecting her mother. And yes the other women on Heathers couch are fake," a person wrote.
"Also, Katie’s daughter is a content creator who built a career for herself online before Katie was even on #RHOC. Heather’s acting career could never! Her nepotistic son could never!" a fan commented.
"Honestly, I don’t care if Katie’s daughter said it or Emily’s kids said it. Heather has mean girl qualities, and that’s a fact," a tweet read.
Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 further said:
"Emily has had an ongoing issue with the other women bowing down to Heather, basically being up Heather's a** for years, but she sure has pitched a tent up there throughout this reunion! Anytime Katie said something to Heather, Emily jumped in as a backup mouthpiece," a person wrote.
"Heather IS a mean girl, that right couch really feels so good about themselves when they are literally trying to condemn katie’s CHILDREN … shall we roll back to Gina, Tamra, Shannon and Heather all exploding about their kids?" a fan commented.
