In a recent episode of the Housewives of Orange County, Vera’s highly anticipated “royal tea” birthday celebration quickly turned into a chaotic affair. The episode, aptly titled “Spilling Tea and Throwing Shade,” promised drama, and it certainly delivered.
As the episode unfolded, we witnessed a shopping spree where the ladies, including Tamara, Shannon, and Vera, picked out costumes for the extravagant party. Meanwhile, Kelly declined Tamara’s invitation, setting the stage for tension. The party itself took place in a picturesque outdoor tea garden, where Gina arrived in a wildly extravagant Mad Hatter costume, complete with a vibrant pink wig. Her outfit stole the spotlight, making the others look rather subdued. Gina also revealed that she had rekindled a romance with her ex-husband, Matt, prompting Braunwyn to quip, “Good for you for making bad choices. It just makes me feel less alone.”
In a dramatic entrance, Vera, Shannon, and Tamara arrived at the venue in a horse-drawn carriage, fitting for the theme. However, the light-hearted conversations quickly turned sour. While the women were gathered at the table, they began discussing Kelly behind her back, revealing that she had been involved in a bar fight and had a public spat with her boyfriend, Brian, leading to an “Instagram breakup.”
Tamara and Shannon, who instigated the gossip, excused themselves to the restroom, where they FaceTimed Kelly in a bid to convince her to join the festivities. After she refused, they returned to the table, seemingly unaffected by their earlier gossip.
The real fireworks began when Gina and Braunwyn clashed. A seemingly innocuous discussion about their children escalated when Braunwyn mentioned her kids attending public school, only to be corrected by the other women, who noted they were in a charter school. This prompted Braunwyn to tear up, leading to Gina snapping, “I’m not talking about your kids! It’s not about you, Braunwyn!” The atmosphere turned tense as Gina voiced her frustrations about feeling belittled.
Shannon speculated that Braunwyn was merely trying to help, albeit poorly. Ultimately, Gina felt remorseful for upsetting Braunwyn, but the question lingered: was Braunwyn in the wrong, or did Gina overreact? With Vera taking a backseat in her own birthday episode, fans are left yearning for the return of the more captivating storylines, such as that of the unforgettable Karen and her microphone.
