Emily Simpson is opening up about her husband Shane Simpson not passing the California bar exam. "Uh, no. He did not," the Real Housewives of Orange County star confirmed the news to TooFab.
"I'll tell you the timing of it was really horrible," said Emily. "He took the bar in February, right when we started filming, and he got his results on the day we filmed the finale. The timing was awful. It was horrible."
Emily said she knows "everyone in the world is trying to figure out if he passed or not," but didn't want to spoil the results. Unfortunately, the news about Shane not passing the exam was exposed after curious fans were unable to find Shane's name in State Bar of California's records.
Simpson told the outlet that Shane took the exam again in July and will receive those results in November. "With the way my life works, I'm sure it'll be the day of the reunion!" she shared.
“It’s one of the hardest bars in the country to pass. There was a 31 percent pass rate. So 69 percent of people don’t pass,” a source told PEOPLE. “It’s not like he’s in this minority where everybody passes but him.”
Shane's name is not currently included on the California Bar Organization website, while Emily, who works as an attorney, is listed.
The source says that Shane took the test “again in July and is awaiting the results.”
If you recall from watching the current season of the Bravo hit reality show, Shane spent time away from his family to study for the bar exam. He even moved in a hotel to study for the test. The situation has put a strain on their relationship.
