'Real Housewives of Orange County' star Emily Simpson managed to ruffle quite a few feathers on the recently aired episode of the hit Bravo show. After learning from Shannon Beador that Heather Dubrow's friend Nicole James once sued Heather's husband Dr Terry Dubrow for a bad boob job, the housewife was determined to get to the bottom of the matter. So, when she crossed paths with Nicole at Heather's dinner party, she immediately got into it by complimenting Nicole's breasts.

Although Nicole had just met Emily, she opened up and revealed that there's a lot of history attached to her breasts. Emily pried a little further by asking if she has implants on her breasts, Nicole confirmed that she did but didn't get into any further details. Later at the party, Emily ambushed Nicole by confronting her if she indeed sued Dr. Terry. A visibly upset Nicole said that she did sue Dr. Terry but that was only because she was a young model in her 20s and her lawyers pressured her into doing it. Although it seemed very clear that Nicole wasn't interested in discussing it any further, Emily continued to ask more and more questions. Finally, Nicole shut it down by telling off Emily that it was a matter between Heather and her, and that they would discuss it privately amongst themselves.

Emily was taken aback by Nicole's tone and lashed out at her. The housewife then made a big issue by shouting at Nicole and accusing her of being uneducated and having no job. She then stormed away furiously mumbling about how Nicole was a villain. 'RHOC' fans however felt very different, and called out Emily for using education and career to humiliate Nicole. Several fans took to Twitter to express their displeasure with Emily's behavior.

A fan tweeted, "Emily needs to watch her angry mouth. I wasn't feeling Nicole ,but Emilys "you're uneducated and don't have a job" rant was so very telling about how she views people. Not a good look, not at all #RHOC." Another fan wrote, "For real, I was like how the hell is this mess an attorney?! So embarrassing to act that level of trash and then try to insult someone else's lack of education or career. Nicole was obviously drunk, what the hell was Emily's excuse? Yikes. #RHOC #Emily." "That's sad Emily uses education in arguments. Having a degree does not make you better, smarter and richer all the time. It's about kindness! Degrees won't get you into heaven honey. She has to sleep with Shane. That's karma. #RHOC," seconded a fan.

Another fan wondered, "Oh Emily. You’re a better version? She’s uneducated & no job. How do you know. Did you do a background check on everyone? #RHOC." "Emily calling Nicole uneducated trash reaffirms everything I've thought about her since she joined the show and validates the reasons I've never liked her. #rhoc," expressed a fan. "And there it is. Emily is as phony as they get. Calling Nicole all those names and for what? That’s disgusting. #RHOC," pointed out a fan.
