Emily Simpson thinks the world has been “cruel" since she's been on reality television. The Real Housewives of Orange County star vented about this and how she’s able to stay so positive in an Instagram Q&A posted on Tuesday, July 16.
Emily, 43, answered questions from fans while she was in her home state of Iowa.
“How do you stay so positive in a world so cruel?” one asked her.
“This world is cruel. So cruel,” Emily responded. And if you want to know how truly cruel it is… go on a reality show!”
“I literally have to remove myself from the all-consuming negativity and focus on what really matters in life and the people that truly know me,” she continued.
“I spend time with my kids. I send a group text to my girlfriends and plan a night out,” the mother-of-three said. “I think it’s important to surround myself with people who TRULY know who I am and have known me for years. That way I don’t let the negativity get into my soul.”
Emily broke down during the season 13 RHOC reunion after discussing the hurtful names people were calling her on social media, many of which revolved around her weight.
She’s been an advocate, both on and off the show, for body empowerment in the wake of the constant negativity she’s dealt with. Her outspokenness on the matter has been met with a ton of support from her costars and fans.
