RHOC Emily Simpson Reveals Shes Going Under The Knife So She Can Be Pain Free

July 12, 2024

During this season of Real Housewives of Orange County, Emily Simpson has been struggling with her health, and in a recent episode, she even broke down in tears when she stepped on the scale at Tamra Judge’s gym, Cut Fitness. Simpson suffers from arthritis and her weight gain has made it worse, so she is taking a major step in an effort to get healthy.

Simpson recently revealed on social media that she is going to have hip replacement surgery on October 28th so she can “move pain free.” She added that the “new Emily can’t wait to run, jump, workout, walk a catwalk, and dance.” The 43-year-old also explained in the comments that she’s having the surgery because her arthritis has led to her having no cartilage in her left hip.

Simpson’s pain has gotten so bad, that she also hurts when she is simply laying on her back or buckling her shoes. She says she can only imagine how it feels to wake up and be pain free.

The severe pain she has experienced over the past few months has made it impossible for Simpson to be active and exercise, and when she stepped on the scale at Cut Fitness, it was difficult for her because she had been avoiding the scale for a long time.

“I’ll be honest with you, I have not weighed myself in probably eight or nine months because I just, I don’t want to know,” Simpson explained. “I’ve been avoiding knowing any of this information. I’ve just been living in denial. I don’t know if I want to know.”

When she saw the number on the scale, the attorney said it was “off the charts” and it was the most she’s ever weighed, which made her sad. Simpson has found herself caught in a vicious cycle where her arthritis and pain makes it impossible to work out, and her weight gain makes her arthritis worse.

Simpson also admitted that her diet hasn’t been the best, as she usually starts her day with a cup of coffee with cream and sugar, sometimes eats lunch, and grabs Del Taco for dinner when she is working.

I’m having hip replacement surgery October 28th. I’m nervous, but beyond excited about finally being able to move pain free. The “new” Emily can’t wait to run, jump, workout, walk a catwalk and dance!! #rhoc

In addition to her upcoming surgery, the RHOC star also hired a trainer this summer because she was at her highest weight ever and her body fat percentage was higher than it’s ever been. She explained on Instagram that even though she can barely move, she decided to get mobile.

Simpson’s trainer has modified workouts for her, and she meets up with her three times per week at 6:15 in the morning which has led to results. Simpson says she now weighs much less and she has lost 13 inches so far, however she still has a long way to go.

New episodes of Real Housewives of Orange County air Tuesday nights on Bravo.
