RHOC fans haven’t warmed up to Shane ever since they made their debut on the Bravo series in 2018. They have constantly called him out over how he treats Emily in the comments section of her social media pages.

Tensions escalated between the married couple in the episode that aired on Tuesday, August 27, after she surprised him by booking a gig dancing in a burlesque revue in Las Vegas. Shane, a practicing Mormon, didn't approve of her doing this.
"He said he wasn’t comfortable, he didn’t know that he wanted to be there,” Emily said during the show. “We kind of got into a fight, an argument. It hurt my feelings … It’s outside his comfort zone.”

“Shane and I, we’re in a difficult situation right now,” Emily later admitted. “I’m reluctant to share things about my marriage because I don’t want people to jump on a bandwagon of bashing my husband.”
