RHOC Polygraph Twist Upends Cast as Emily Simpson Sends Katie Ginella Home

The surprise test has become the season’s credibility flashpoint, with Ginella publicly challenging the finding as alliances harden.

Overview

  • At a Persian New Year gathering, Emily Simpson had the cast answer anonymous "burning questions" through on-site polygraph exams.
  • An examiner told the group that Katie Ginella performed the worst, and Simpson asked her to leave the party after the results were read.
  • Ginella insisted she told the truth and later argued the result was invalid due to anxiety, a missed anti-anxiety medication, and the nonclinical setting, telling Us Weekly she was devastated for weeks.
  • Gretchen Rossi’s results were reported as truthful on key questions, while Kiki Monique told Rossi she had, in fact, spoken with Ginella and recounted Ginella’s claims that are in dispute.
  • Other cast members saw mixed outcomes on targeted questions, reinforcing divisions that have turned the lie-detector segment into a defining storyline for Season 19.
