The whole issue boiled over at the event. Billie and Katie got into a huge screaming match. “Girl, you did not include me in any of this! I’ve been rejected my entire life and [have not been] able to go to girls’ things, and then my co-worker doesn’t invite me?” Billie yelled.

Lisa Vanderpump eventually stepped in to reason with Billie and explain that the other women had been supportive of her identity and that she was included in Girls’ Night, since she was literally in attendance. But the hostess wasn’t buying it.

But apparently that didn’t happen. When Billie found out about the event on social media, she flipped, tweeting about the cast, “When [your] coworkers don’t include the only trans girl in GIRLS night at your own job! On the night you work! ?? #rudeAF #TransIsBeautiful.”
