On Monday, the popular fan account It’s a Bravo World reshared a clip on Instagram that appeared to capture two of Emily’s glam team members. The footage showcased Emily and Gina lounging on the reunion set, along with glimpses of a conversation between Emily and Heather. It also offered an intimate look at other behind-the-scenes moments from the taping.

The caption on the post read, “On set with [Bravo,] [Emily Simpson,] and [Roya Falahi],” while the clip showed Emily dressed in a form-fitting silver gown, her hair pulled back, posing in front of an ocean-inspired backdrop illuminated by string lights.

Another portion of the leaked footage revealed the cast gathered on two couches, flanking host Andy Cohen, 56. As seen in Bravo’s seating chart, Tamra Judge, 56, and Shannon Beador, 60, sat closest to Andy, with Gina, Jennifer Pedranti, 47, and Katie Ginella, 40, to his left, while Emily, Heather, and Alexis Bellino, 47, occupied the seats on his right.

Additionally, Bravo and Cocktails shared images on Instagram that captured Emily and Heather deep in discussion, as well as a shot of Emily and Gina chatting together on set. These behind-the-scenes moments were further enriched by a few snaps of Alexis and Tamra in their trailers, prepping for the big taping.

After the reunion special aired on Sunday, Gina addressed the leak directly to her followers on social media.

“I know there’s already been a picture of Emily and me that got posted. It was an accident,” Gina admitted. “It was Emily’s glam person. I wasn’t thrilled about it, but it was an accident. So I just want to let you guys know—if you could just forget that happened… Well, actually, that’s a lie. Bravo is going to put out another photo that I probably won’t like, and then I’m going to share the one where I think I look the best. And if everyone could just judge me based on that photo, that would be ideal. That’s all.”
