Kyle Richards Has an Update on Feud with Former RHOBH Co-Star Carlton Gebbia
Sometimes time heals wounds, sometimes it doesn’t. In the case of Kyle Richards and former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills one-season wonder Carlton Gebbia, it looks like not enough time has passed. The two had their differences in Season 4, and it looks like they just never moved past that.
Guess Kyle had no interest in touching base with the former practicing witch and sex dungeon owner. As for Carlton, we haven’t heard too much about her. We know she was hospitalized after passing out in a club in 2016 due to an adverse medical reaction.
So, what’s been going down?
Kyle Richards admits the Season 4 drama with Carlton Gebbia was “horrible”
Carlton also emerged in 2023 when Kyle was going through her separation from Mauricio Umansky. She revealed that she and her husband, David Gebbia, were also separated. For what it was worth, she thought Kyle and Mauricio had a great run.
As for Kyle, she’s still not cool with Carlton. The update came during an Amazon Live where she shared that Carlton “was not acting” throughout Season 4 and that all that drama was real.
“That was real,” Kyle revealed. “Hence, my not getting along with her. That was horrible. Talk about, like, negative. Oh my gosh.”
It was so awful that Kyle admitted that Season 4 was her least favorite season to relive or look back on. Honestly, it’s not surprising Kyle never reconnected with Carlton. She’s been pretty consistent as far as her former co-star is concerned.
In 2020, Kyle appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and answered a fan question asking which co-star brought the least to the show. She quickly answered, “The least to the show, that would be Season 4, Carlton.”
Then, in 2024, during an interview with the Daily Dish, Kyle shared which RHOBH alums she still speaks with to this day and which ones she doesn’t talk to, and her answer was “Definitely not Carlton.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is streaming on Peacock in the US and on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
RHOC's Katie Ginella officially filed for divorce from husband Matt after discovering he was cheating with a younger woman while she was struggling with being ostracized by her RHOC co-stars
A Shocking Breakup Rocks the Real Housewives Universe
In a move that has stunned Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC) fans, Katie Ginella has officially filed for divorce from her husband,
Matt, after discovering that he had been cheating with a younger woman. The shocking breakup comes amid Katie’s ongoing struggles with her co-stars, who have reportedly ostracized her throughout the current season.
Katie, who joined RHOC in the latest season as one of the newest cast members, has been navigating the complicated world of reality television, fame, and personal drama. Now, her personal life is taking center stage, and the public fallout from her marriage breakdown is sure to dominate the headlines.
“Katie is heartbroken, but she’s done being humiliated,” a close friend of Katie’s revealed to Entertainment Now. “She’s been putting up with a lot from Matt and her co-stars, but this affair was the last straw. She deserves better.”
In the divorce papers filed this week, Katie cited irreconcilable differences, adultery, and emotional distress as the reasons for ending her marriage to Matt, her husband of five years.
The Affair: A Younger Woman and a Broken Trust
Katie’s decision to file for divorce comes just weeks after she learned about Matt’s affair with a younger woman, someone sources say he met during a business trip. According to insiders, Katie had
suspicions about her husband’s behavior, which had been growing increasingly distant and secretive in recent months.
“Katie was in the dark for a while,” a source close to the couple said. “Matt was working late, going on trips without telling her the full story, and avoiding their usual family time. She found texts and messages that pointed to something more, and when she confronted him, he admitted to everything.”
Sources also claim that the younger woman, whose identity has been kept private for now, has been involved with Matt for several months. Katie reportedly confronted her husband about the affair, which led to an emotional and explosive argument. Matt, according to sources, showed little remorse, and it was clear to Katie that their marriage could no longer survive the betrayal.
“Katie felt like she was living in a nightmare,” the source added. “Here she is, trying to make her marriage work, and her husband was having an affair behind her back. It shattered her trust, and she couldn’t continue pretending everything was okay.”
The RHOC Struggles: Ostracized by Co-Stars During a Vulnerable Time
While Katie was facing the painful discovery of her husband's infidelity, she was also contending with a growing divide
Katie felt increasingly isolated throughout the season, with her co-stars distancing themselves from her in what some have described as a “cold shoulder” treatment.
“Katie didn’t feel welcomed by the other women,” a production insider shared. “There were a lot of subtle digs and whispers behind her back. They weren’t necessarily overt, but she could sense the tension. The more she tried to fit in, the more she felt like an outsider.”
Many fans of the show were puzzled by the apparent lack of camaraderie between Katie and her castmates, especially considering that she had been introduced as a prominent new addition
to the cast. As the season progressed, Katie’s vulnerability became apparent, and it was clear that she was struggling not only with her marriage but also with her position within the group.
“Being ostracized by your friends while dealing with a painful personal crisis is unimaginable,” one RHOC fan tweeted. “Katie deserves better, from both her husband and her so-called friends.”
During a heated
RHOC dinner party, one particular confrontation with Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge reportedly left Katie in tears. “Shannon and Tamra both attacked Katie, calling her naive and overly emotional,” a source revealed. “That was when Katie realized she didn’t have the support she needed.”
The Divorce Filing: A New Chapter for Katie
In the divorce filing, Katie requested full custody of the couple’s two young children and is seeking spousal support from Matt. While her attorney has not publicly confirmed the exact terms, it’s clear that Katie is ready to move on and start fresh, leaving behind a marriage built on lies and betrayal.
Katie’s legal team is also pursuing financial compensation for the emotional distress she has suffered, including her “ongoing emotional trauma” caused by both the affair and the treatment she has received from her co-stars.
“Katie is focused on healing and moving forward,” a family friend told Page Six. “She’s not looking back. She’s determined to be the best mother she can be and put this behind her.”
It’s reported that Matt has expressed regret over the breakdown of their marriage, but sources close to the couple say he’s been “caught off-guard” by Katie’s strength and resolve to walk away.
“Matt didn’t think she would ever leave,” a source said. “He thought they could work things out. But Katie is finally standing up for herself.”
The RHOC Cast Reacts: Mixed Support and Public Opinions
The RHOC cast has been largely quiet about the divorce, but sources say Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge, and Gina Kirschenheiter have reached out privately to express their support for Katie during this difficult time.
“There’s a lot of drama and tension in the group, but Shannon and Tamra have been sympathetic,” an insider revealed. “They both know how hard it is to go through personal pain while being filmed, and they’ve told Katie they’re here for her.”
On the other hand, Heather Dubrow and Emily Simpson have reportedly been more distant, with Heather said to have privately remarked that “Katie needs to take responsibility for her part in the breakdown of the marriage.”
This division of support among the RHOC women only adds another layer of complexity to Katie’s situation, as she not only faces the emotional pain of her marriage falling apart but also the ongoing pressure of navigating a fractious reality TV cast.
What’s Next for Katie: A New Beginning
While her personal life has taken a dramatic turn, Katie is already making plans for the future. Sources say that she has expressed interest in focusing more on her career and spending time with her children in the coming months, while also potentially seeking therapy to work through the trauma of both the affair and her difficult time on the show.
“Katie has always been strong, but this has tested her in ways she never expected,” a close friend shared. “She’s taking the time she needs to heal, but she’s also excited to start a new chapter — without Matt and without the drama.”
Fans are already rallying behind Katie, expressing their support and admiration for her resilience.
“Katie is a queen. No one deserves to go through what she’s been through, but she’s handling it with so much grace,” one follower tweeted.
“This woman deserves peace and happiness. I hope she finds everything she’s looking for in this next chapter,” another added.
Katie’s journey on RHOC may have been marred by personal heartbreak and betrayal, but the future is hers to shape.
Conclusion: The End of One Chapter, The Beginning of Another
Katie Ginella’s divorce from Matt marks a definitive end to one of RHOC’s most tumultuous personal storylines. The betrayal of an affair, combined with the emotional toll of being alienated by her co-stars, has undoubtedly taken a toll on Katie. But as she takes the brave step of moving forward, she is reclaiming her life and her independence.
For Bravo fans, this breakup is more than just a divorce; it’s the final chapter of a painful journey for a woman who deserves better. With her strength, courage, and determination, Katie is poised to overcome this heartbreak and emerge stronger than ever.
“I’m done settling for less,” Katie said in an Instagram post after the filing. “It’s time to choose me and my children — and I won’t apologize for it.”
As Katie steps into her new future, one thing is clear: this is just the beginning of her story. And RHOC fans will be watching every step of her journey.
