When Emily Simpson got in shape

Last month, she spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the new season of RHOC. Emily Simpson also revealed that she wanted to get in shape after her hip replacement surgery last year. But she did admit it was hard since she had the surgery before filming last season’s reunion.

“It’s definitely the best decision I’ve ever made,” she told the outlet. “I don’t regret it because I really feel like I’m a completely different person. The pain that I was dealing with on a daily basis was so debilitating that I just feel like a new person.”

Emily didn’t share any details. But she admitted that she was “more active” these days. She enjoys working out. It’s brought her so much joy that she’s “much happier” and she feels “like a new person.”
