Things are heated on The Real Housewives of Orange County. After Gretchen Rossi notoriously returned to the Bravo show, she was confronted about her controversial behavior online.
Gretchen Rossi was accused of liking posts that were homophobic, transphobic, anti-abortion, anti-vaccine, pro-election denial, and pro-Trump. During The RHOC Season 19 reunion, she apologized for her actions, saying, “there’s no excuse for liking anything that has any sort of offensive sentiment,” and denouncing “anything that seems homophobic or transphobic or anything like that.” She blamed that she was “mindlessly” scrolling at night.
“I gravely apologize if I liked something that was offensive or something like that,” Gretchen told her castmates. “Maybe that’s my mistake.”

What were the Posts That Gretchen liked on The Real Housewives of Orange County?
A Twitter (now X) user posted a thread of screenshots of Gretchen Rossi allegedly liking racist, anti-COVID vaccine, anti-abortion, homophobic, and transphobic posts on Instagram in 2023.
The homophobic posts include a graphic with the American flag and text saying, “I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have a whole month dedicated to the people that have lost their lives fighting for our freedom instead of a month of celebrating your preference in the bedroom. Another post written by conservative musician Tyson James, “When you open the door to homosexuality, you opened the door to pedophilia. You’ll never win by normalizing perversion.”
As for the transphobic posts, Gretchen allegedly liked a post mocking trans influencer and activist Dylan Mulvaney, a few which are posted by extreme right-winger Matt Walsh.
Another includes a commentary by Bible activist Allie B Stuckey about a trans activist. She wrote in the comments, “This is the ‘trans’ influencer who went viral for flashing at the White House a couple weeks ago, now attempting to use the Bible to justify identifying as the opposite sex. I think this is the most loving response we can possibly give. By the way: Jesus is very clear about gender – see Matthew 19:4-5” Gretchen allegedly commented praise emojis on another one of her posts where the commentator said, “If, as a professing Christian, your conscience isn’t at least troubled by voting for the party endorsing the abortion of 40 week babies and the genital mutilation of children, I’d like to humbly suggest that’s a problem.
She also allegedly liked a post saying that “neo-pronouns were a joke” with a screenshot of a thread with Elon Musk.
Heather Dubrow and Tamra Judge got into a fight with Gretchen because they had children who were in the LGBTQ+ community. Heather explained to Variety that she told her castmate off-camera that the behavior was dangerous. “Terry’s for you page is cats. Mine is, I like to watch people wrap presents and things like that. But when you follow that many hate accounts, your algorithm has got to be showing you terrible things. And so how do you not notice that?”
“And look, there were other posts that she liked outside of the queer community that I also don’t agree with. But you know, everyone’s entitled to their opinions on things, but when someone starts calling it a lifestyle choice being gay — it’s tough!”
As to where she stands with Gretchen now, she said, “You’ve always been kind to us. I can’t imagine what your for you page looks like, but I hope you use this. Because not just me and my family, but your other friends in the community — this is very upsetting to all of us. So I hope that she takes this moment to really look at what she’s liking and posting.”
