'The Real Housewives of Orange County' star Emily Simpson may have caught wind of rumors about her husband, Shane Simpson, and his alleged debt. As a devoted wife, she took matters into her own hands to address the situation. On Sunday, November 17, Emily reposted a news story with a headline claiming Shane had a "massive debt." The story suggested that Emily had spilled the beans about their financial situation in a leaked clip.
Interestingly, the article turned out to be nothing more than clickbait, with no mention of debt in the actual story.

While Shane's wealth is largely inherited, he also has a successful career of his own as an attorney at Benjumea & Associates in Orange County, specializing in workers' compensation.
