Overview
- In Episode 14, Tamra Judge met privately with Katie Ginella, who showed texts and claimed Gretchen Rossi lied while alleging Slade Smiley urged her to “stick to the story” as a supposed legal issue.
- Judge said she left the meeting feeling validated and later suggested Katie had been set up, even as producers and cast questioned why she trusts Katie following a previously cited polygraph failure.
- At Emily Simpson’s Innocence Center fundraiser, Gretchen and Slade tried to confront Judge, who declined to engage and exited, cutting off the on-camera clash.
- Off to the side, Slade told Terry Dubrow, Travis Mullen, and Ryan Boyajian that he “really messed up,” without specifying what he meant.
- The latest tensions follow Gretchen and Slade’s recent allegation of an old “affair” involving Judge, with no public corroborating audio produced as the cast continues to dispute motives and credibility.
