Overview

• During the Aug. 28 episode, Emily Simpson brought in polygraph examiners; the examiner said Gretchen Rossi’s answers were truthful and that Katie Ginella failed, after which Simpson asked Ginella to leave.
• Ginella insists she told the truth and described severe emotional distress after the taping, later questioning the test’s setting and noting she forgot her anti‑anxiety medication.
• Gretchen Rossi publicly labeled Ginella a liar and said she felt foolish for defending her, while clarifying she misspoke earlier about a hospital visit and denying she ever claimed she was drugged.
• An unnamed insider told OK! Magazine that Bravo has temporarily removed Ginella from filming because several cast members refused to shoot with her, a report other outlets relayed without on‑the‑record confirmation.
• Viewers and cast pointed out a clash between Rossi’s polygraph‑backed denial of a hospital visit and her prior on‑camera remark suggesting she went, prompting skepticism about the test as Tamra Judge shaded Rossi online.
