Rumors about Heather Dubrow manipulating production on RHOC are not new at all. She totally got Kelly Dodd fired (YAY!) by refusing to return to the show if she was still there. But, then, almost immediately there was the sudden disappearance of Nicole James. I have mentioned before that in the NBUCu Media photos, there was one or two with Nicole but she was not listed by name as being in the photo. I’ve never seen that happen before.
Not to long ago I posted a blind, about someone receiving a payout. Blind Item Reveal I received some information that the Dubrows paid off Nicole to leave the show. My SOURCE who has gone radio silent, simply said that “Nicole was not what they were looking for.” Um they should have found that out in the trial stages. The story I heard was that the Dubrows gave Nicole an undisclosed amount.
Heather Dubrow Denies All The “Rumors”
Recently, there were rumors that Heather Dubrow wanted to get Noella Fired. I totally believe that too. For some reason, Heather finally decided to address these rumors while interviewing with ET. She told the site, “There are these rumors that I tried to get Noella fired before the show started, and that I called everyone to tell them not to film with her. That never happened. I love how powerful everyone thinks I am, though.” That’s just so very “Heather.”
Heather Dubrow also said, “I’ve seen rumors online that I had Nicole taken off the show, and nothing could be farther from the truth. Honestly, I brought her on the show and I tried to get her to stay on the show. I thought she was great. And she’s an incredibly nice girl, and beautiful and fun and great lifestyle. Like all of it. I tried to get her to stay on the show.” Nope! I’m not buying it.
Heather Dubrow Is Already Gearing Up For The Reunion
Heather seems to be looking forward to the upcoming reunion filming where she plans to go after Shannon “I feel like there are people that have said that I came off too harsh and that I blamed Shannon for something that I shouldn’t have, but I have other feelings about it and other information that I want to talk about that might make things clear. Maybe people still won’t agree with me, but in my mind, it’s why I felt the way I did.” And she will be coming hard for Noella.
I am so over Heather Dubrow.
me too. Last ratings I saw were very low.
She and Gina can go away.
THIS!!! Totally agree with you Smitters. I can not stomach Gina this year. Let them both go. I bet ratings will rise again….
Can. Not. Stand. Her. Been reading your recaps, but I’m hard pressed to watch because of her.
I stopped watching the show because of Heather. She thinks she is better than everyone. ANNOYING!
I agree 100%
I guess I’m in the minority here but I like Heather. I wish Tamra would have been brought back as well to humanize Heather a little bit more. Gina is fan girling over Heather while Tamra would have just kept things real with her and gotten Heather into some mud/trouble.
Noella, I enjoy as well. I actually cannot stand/care for Jen but that’s just me. It’s cringe to watch her interactions with her husband, who clearly does not like the Camera. Kinda hope she’s a 1-season wonder.
Overall, I’m enjoying this season of RHOC. Again, I feel like I’m in the minority haha.
I agree with you about Heather. I really like her and enjoy watching her family. Can’t stand Noella though. She’s hard to watch and frankly I think Heather is everything Noella wishes she were. Wealthy, happily married and successful
Agreed! I think Heather looked way better next to Tamra, Vicki, & Gretchen because of crazy they were willing to be for television. Heather was never really the primary focus. In the center light she is coming off way more pretentious than she usually is on TV. I love Heather but Gina cowering at her feet is weird.
The concept of Heather returning sounded great. The reality, not so much.
I keep hoping Heather leaves again after this season. She’s painful to watch. I believe she got rid of Nicole and tried to get rid of Noella. They need someone to keep Heather on her toes and Noella is the one to do it.
I assume Heather will leave after this season — she got what she was after: promote her new show, promote her daughter’s vanity published book, show what a great woke mother she is (also good for her other pursuits), promote her Heather’s Closet business (the clothes she brought Gina had tags from it and came in a bag printed “Dubrow”), and just ride a wave of egotism.
She is gross. Terry is a misshapen HW wannabe. I heard that he and the kids also got paid.
And she is getting the opportunity to try to get Shannon booted.
It’s hard to be a condescending egomaniacal cunt if no one is watching. Heather would curl up and die if she could not be on TV.
I recorded the latest Botched, and wondered why it was two hours. It was Heather forcing herself in again as some kind of couples advisor. She’s such a twunt, and so is her husband. He does good work but his constant berating of Paul shows how insecure he is, and I’m sure Heather makes sure of that.
Terry has berated and made mean “jokes” to Paul since the show started. I guess he thought that he could get away with it because Paul is a quiet guy. Paul actually has had terrific personal success with his new family, and is the doc I would want over Terry any day.
Terry’s “it’s a joke” claims fall flat, like his nose.
Absolutely phony from the word go. She is so pretentious. Gina is a wannabe so bad it is very sad to watch. She is caught between who she is and who she wants to be and its not a good look. Heather has gotten her to come hard for Shannon. Just so silly. I don’t miss Tamra or Vicki and I will always feel a debt to Heather for making the OC a safe zone removing Kelly BUT I cannot stand her thinking she is the new face of counseling. Does she think the world is wishing that we had a marriage like hers and Terry? Terry always looks like he would rather be ANYWHERE else and she is just looking for the next thing to buy. No…just NO
I agree with every word you wrote. Actually, the only personality I like on this show is Gina’s. Emily is really hard to like. Gina may be a butt kisser, but she seems a lot nicer than the rest of them. I don’t like Noella or Jen. This show may have run its course. I definitely do not want to see Tamra or Vicki back.
Gina is PAINFUL to watch. She’s not funny or interesting.
Tamra, Vicki & Kelly need to come back.
If Heather “comes for” Shannon and Noella at the reunion, I hope they spill everything they know about Nicole’s lawsuit against Terry and why Nicole disappeared. Heather better think twice about all this “it will be addressed at the reunion” stuff.
Don’t the reunions tend to ignore the real stories unless it’s so out there like Erica they can’t! You now the countless lawsuits, that never really seem to be talked about at length🤣 I’m sure there will be some in fighting, but I see Shannon bend a bit at the knee. She knows the game, she wants to keep it. Let’s face it, unless you’re a fellon, soon to be fellon, your job is secure, but the rest gotta fight. I’m not sure in what universe that the rebranding of the OC meant give the Debrows a spinoff on a sister network and ability to control storyboards and cast members. It sucks!
I didn’t sign up for the Heather and Terry show. It wouldn’t surprise me if they aren’t paying off production too. Do they think the audience is stupid? It’s been an infomercial for the Dubrows since the first episode.
Yay Noella!
It was as clear as the day is long that Heather and Terry’s dinner party with Jen and Ryne was a total sneak peek at their relationship show. Also, I got the vibe from the scene with Gina that Heather was pitching a makeover show. Can’t you see it?!!
Yes!
Totally agree. Heather portraying herself as an informed and helpful friend on all levels. Doubt it will work. I am betting Heather is one of the least popular housewives. I like Terry actually and don’t mind Heather half as much. But I don’t think they will get that relationship show. We’ll see. Her home is cold and unimpressive too.
Omg they want to start a network like Magnolia. Picture it, Heather and Terry lifestyle brand, we fix you mind, body and soul. We the audience, we are the droogs from Clockwork Orange, in that we are forced to watch all that is Heather, and we’re being conditioned to accept all things Heather. We will all learn to love cold cryptkeeper houses with suchi from Nobu because its one of their sponcers. We will all wear our hair in extremely tight pony’s to achieve a natural facelift.🥴🤪
You, my dear, are a genius!!! I can see ALL of this!!!
Presuming you have heard the news that the clever and superior Dubrows got swindled out of 1.75 million.
Yes. That really is old news. It was brought up at the beginning of a season when Heather was originally on. Can’t remember which one but she was PISSED OFF! She I believe even put out a reward if someone would tell them where the guy was and they could find him. I guess he blew town on their 1.75 million. I don’t believe he was ever caught but I don’t remember a follow up to the story. She’s now trying to spin it like she’s not bothered by it, it was a wake up call for her not to act like a “girl in the marriage” and now she’s taken charge with Terry of their finances. Basically she’s saying it was Terry’s fault. Nothing is ever Heather’s fault. She’s a pure genius! It’s just come back up because they’re promoting their new show of how enlightened they are. The two of them are so annoying!
I saw somewhere that the reason Nicole was dropped from the show is because she refused to get the vaccine to travel to Mexico.
If you think about it. The Nicole / Terry situation was at the start of the season. Heather, Terry, & production were able to come up a storyline that worked for all of them. Heather glazed over it after that and even at the book launch Nicole seemed fine with Heather. If everyone was fine with the story why pay her off?
Everyone was expecting Nicole to come then when they were preparing to leave it seemed like production told one of them to say Nicole cant come. Some of the ladies seemed confused why.
Heather paying off Nicole doesn’t make much sense to me compared to the vaccine idea.
All the housewives on every season had to be quarantined, tested and vaccinated before being allowed to film. So I am not buying that.
I heard it was because she didn’t want to discuss her recent, but brief engagement to Jim Bellino. Which would be understandable ha!
Umm what 🤯
Heather and Terry are so odd. Both of them. It feels sooo forced with them and with others. It’s creepy how they both laugh so hard in sync at minor things that are not funny.
I feel like they are partners in crime more than partners in love. Heater came back to: 1. Make OV the Heather show and 2. Promote her new show because ya know, her and Terry are perfect.
The entire OC cast needs to go. I don’t care about Gina’s 3 bedroom apartment for 8 people not do I care about the odd Dubrow’s crypt. Oops I meant house.
Wow! In all the years I’ve been here I have never been right about a blind item before! Ha! I feel semi-smart, lol. But now I have more questions:
Did Dubrows pay Nicole to go away and then stage that scene where Terry says something like ‘ but you dropped it, right?’ referring to the old malpractice suit. Or did they just settle the old suit?
And regarding the bi-racial person in the blind, is Nicole bi-racial? And was source indicating that the Dubrows and Armstrong are racists?
I just can’t with that dinner scene. Terry makes my skin crawl. Heather is an exaggerated version of her fancy pants self and it’s nauseating. They try way too hard and both could use some humble pie. Just Eww. And the jen & husband thing was super cringeworthy. Whoever suggested Ryan/Rhyne/Rind might be on the autism spectrum might truly be onto something. And I swear I heard jen say this time his name is Rind like the orange. WTF is the dude’s name?!
I don’t know the details about “the settlement” I was only told that the Dubrows paid Nicole to go away. ALLEGEDLY.
Noella is the biracial cast member. Someone had to tell me that as well.
Heather should have been such good TV. She has it all; however, her sanctimonious know-it-all attitude is ruining the vibe. It’s hard to care about her kids, her husband, her house-building woes, when she is so unlikable. Just because one has money, one isn’t an expert at everything: skin care, wine, decor, architecture, counseling, therapy, sexual issues, supplements, hair care and ACTING. Stop acting, Heather. I bet underneath, you might have some insecurities we could relate to…maybe?
One more thing rich people, um, I mean Heather should do is try to focus on the strengths of others that she lacks. I would love to see Heather hire Emily to plan a party or ask Sam to babysit Gina’s kids so they could make Italian pasta – -anything at all where Heather isn’t the one in charge and the expert. It wares.
Totally agree. Because the show is so Heather focused I feel like we’re losing the connection with the rest of the cast. And I’m thinking that Jen & Noella are one and done. So, next season will be the debut of more new people of Heather’s choosing in which case, I will be out. Like the one from that awkward lunch? It’s already basically unwatchable. The only way they’ll draw me back in is if they show the legal demise of Dr. Jen. And I kind of even feel icky watching all the felons by bravo yet I tune in for that crap!
Bravo needs Heather more than she needs them, unlike the other women who are there for the pay check. In fact, that goes for most of the women across the entire Housewives franchise. Orange County needed a reboot and I will take Heather over vulgar Kelly Dodd any day, every day. Having said that, I wish Heather was on Beverly Hills where I think she would be better suited.
This show is beyond saving.
I think it is time to put RHOC on the shelf for a minute and take a break.
