“I feel very upset and resentful towards you,” Emily said on camera. “And I know you feel upset and resentful towards me.”  In October 2019, she opened up to Bravo's The Daily Dish about Shane's failures. “It was a huge thing in our family that was like everybody sacrificing so Shane could take the bar exam. So, it’s like, I’m taking care of the kids, his parents are helping, his sister’s helping, it was like the whole Simpson family was all running around doing all these things so he could take the bar exam. And then for him not to pass, it was pretty devastating.”
