'Real Housewives of Orange County' star Emily Simpson comes across as a very mature and serious person on the show. So, in the latest episode, when we heard about one of her ex-boyfriends, we were left feeling surprised, and fans had a lot of questions for Emily.
 
In the latest episode, we saw the housewives go on a jet ski ride. While Emily's dear friend and fellow housewife Gina Kirschenheiter was struggling with the water sport, Emily was surprisingly good at it.

Later, in her green room interview, Emily revealed that she once used to date a guy who was a drug dealer and owned a boat and a lot of jet skis.
 
Unfortunately, she didn’t reveal any further details about her ex-boyfriend, but fans were totally surprised to hear that the legal attorney was once involved with a drug dealer.

A fan tweeted, “Emily is the last housewife I'd ever picture dating a drug dealer.  #RHOC." Another fan expressed their surprise with, "Emily used to date a drug dealer that had lots of jet skis? This woman’s an onion! #RHOC."

"Wow, Emily... a drug dealer bf? ... we learn new things every day #RHOC," wrote a fan. Another intrigued fan commented, "How is Emily just gonna throw that in there... 'I used to date a drug dealer' wtf, lmaooo I need to see more of that Emily, I'm intrigued #RHOC."
 
The brunette beauty is currently married to her husband, Shane Simpson. We saw her marital issues with Shane surface in the current season. Shane has constantly been ill-treating her and fans have expressed concerns over their marriage on several occasions.

Hence, after learning that Emily dated a drug dealer, a couple of fans felt that Emily should have married the drug dealer instead of Shane.

One fan shared, "Emily should have married the drug dealer. #RHOC." Another wrote, "Oh Emily a drug dealer seriously? And you're married to Shane? something Doesn't add up #rhoc."
