‘RHOC’ 2 Major Cast Members Set To Exit
Two major cast members are set to exit RHOC, just as the long-running Bravo series enters Season 19. It was the first of the Real Housewives franchise, and now, there will be a major shake-up. So, who will be saying “goodbye” to The Real Housewives of Orange County, and why? Keep reading for more details.
2 Major Cast Members Set To Exit
Season 19 of RHOC just began on Thursday, July 10th. It focused on Tamra Judge’s therapy journey and a multitude of problems with Katie Ginella. Katie began in Season 18, and there was a lot of drama and inconsistencies. She has been called out for chatting with bloggers and putting out false narratives. Viewers are also awaiting the return of Gretchen Rossi. She was a main cast member from Seasons 4 through 8, but has made appearances over the years. Gretchen will come in and stir the pot with Tamra, and fans are chomping at the bit. `
Unfortunately, two cast members are allegedly not coming back for the epic twentieth season. This comes on the heels of Vicki Gunvalson sharing that she would not even be a guest for the current season. It appears that Heather Dubrow, who left after Season 11 but came back in Season 16, will be gone. Per an insider, she was happy to return and be a part of The Real Housewives of Orange County. More so, Heather is extremely busy and not that close with her co-stars. The insider added:
“I think she’s done after this season. She’s made her mark, she did what she need to do but her heart isn’t in OC.”
Furthermore, Heather has been active in Los Angeles, so the OC is not where she belongs. Lastly, Katie will also be out for Season 20.
She has been attacked and on the defensive for quite some time. Her parenting has come under fire, and the Season 19 premiere ended with the girls demanding accountability. That never happened, so she is likely done with the RHOC, which makes sense. Moreover, this is not the right group of women for Katie, and it will only get worse as the show continues.
The Drama Continues
This season, the RHOC ladies will be traveling a lot. They hit up New Orleans and Amsterdam, but the latter did not bode well for Katie Ginella. She was axed from the vacation and allegedly does not film much as the season progresses. Tamra Judge also quit midseason when they were in New Orleans, but eventually returned to finish the year. As for Heather Dubrow, she has been moving and flipping her homes for mass income. Her children are all flying the coop, and her husband has a new reality series. So, this is the best time for her to walk away when she is still on a high.
Would you miss Heather and Katie, or are you ready for more fresh faces? Let us know your thoughts, and watch the RHOC Thursdays on Bravo.
