Emily Simpson Fires Back at Rumors: “My Parents Don’t Fund Us!”
Background on Emily Simpson
Emily Simpson has garnered a significant following as a key cast member on the popular reality TV series, “The Real Housewives of Orange County.” Since her debut, she has been open about various aspects of her life, including her family, profession, and upbringing. This transparency has led to a slew of rumors, particularly concerning her finances.
Addressing the Rumors
Recently, Emily found herself at the center of speculation regarding her reliance on her parents for financial support. In a determined response, she clarified that she and her husband, Shane Simpson, are entirely self-sufficient.
Emily’s Response
Emily Simpson Responds to Jennifer Pedranti’s Claims About Her Lifestyle
In a recent exchange stemming from their discussion on the reunion episode, tensions escalated when Jennifer suggested that Emily’s in-laws financially contributed to her and Shane’s lifestyle. According to Emily, she addressed this claim in an Instagram Story shortly after the episode aired. She emphasized, “If my in-laws were funding our lifestyle, I would be living a much more lavish life—think private jets alongside Heather Dubrow,” adding firmly that they do not provide financial support.
Clarifying Family Support: What Jennifer Said
As Part 1 of the reunion unfolded with host Andy Cohen leading the conversation, discussions shifted towards Ryan’s previous legal complications. Emily stated her commitment to researching these matters thoroughly: “I’m sharing everything I’ve come across; I’ve dug deep to comprehend it…” referring specifically to Ryan’s immunity status concerning his legal troubles.
When Shannon Storms Beador validated Jennifer’s stance regarding Ryan’s situation, Emily countered with skepticism: “That goes against all information I’ve found.” In response, Jennifer retorted sharply by asserting her own findings about how Emily’s family supports them financially.
At that moment, a response eluded Emily; however, she later took to social media platforms to express her views on the matter.
Who are Shane Simpson’s Parents?
Emily Simpson has been married to Shane since 2009 and they share three children together. Over time on Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC), viewers have met Pary Simpson—Emily’s mother-in-law who is part of a practicing Mormon family alongside Shane and their daughters.
Adding further context about cultural background during an Instagram Q&A in November 2020, Shane revealed that his mother hails from Iranian descent. While deeply embedded in their faith tradition as Mormons—with both spiritual and cultural customs—Emily identifies differently with no formal religious affiliation herself.
Moreover highlighting familial milestones, it’s notable that Shelby (Shane’s eldest daughter from his first marriage) hosted her wedding celebrations at the home of Emily’s in-laws last August. To commemorate this event via social media post-Episode insights reveal details such as: “They tied the knot at an LDS Temple ceremony early on followed by an intimate dinner gathering at my in-laws’ residence,” reflecting fondly upon it as “a perfect day filled with sunshine where loved ones celebrated Evan and Shelby.”
For further developments surrounding these intertwined narratives between Jennifer and Emily—a rivalry intensified by recent claims—tune into new episodes of RHOC every Thursday night at 9/8c exclusively on Bravo or stream online through Peacock starting next day.
