In a recent episode of “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” tensions reached an all-time high as Heather Dubrow threatened to quit the show following a heated argument with her co-stars. During a group dinner in Mexico, Tamra Judge, Gina Kirschenheiter, and Emily Simpson accused Dubrow of calling them “f—king losers” behind their backs. However, Dubrow vehemently denied these accusations, stating that she was referring to former co-stars Noella Bergener and Jen Armstrong.
Despite Dubrow’s denial, the women continued to yell at her, labeling her a “fake friend.” Fed up with the situation, Dubrow abruptly left the dinner, venting her frustrations to Vicki Gunvalson, who had also removed herself from the drama. In tears, Dubrow declared that she was done with the show, stating, “I’m out, I’m done.”
Gunvalson, a long-time friend of Dubrow, comforted her and expressed her disappointment in how the other women had treated her. Dubrow seemed to agree, stating that the other women were being mean to her and that she had reached her limit. Shannon Beador later joined the conversation, inquiring about the reason for their distress. Gunvalson explained the situation, suggesting that the others should leave Dubrow alone.
The explosive argument escalated further when Tamra Judge claimed that Dubrow had referred to the rest of the women as “f—king losers” behind their backs. Clearly upset, Dubrow walked away from the group dinner, declaring that she did not want to be the scapegoat anymore.
This intense clash came shortly after a hot mic moment in which Dubrow was caught saying that she “hated” the other women. The argument stemmed from a discussion about Dubrow unfollowing her co-stars on social media after her initial departure from the show in 2016. Although she had recently re-followed Simpson, tensions remained high, with the others arguing that not following someone on social media was a personal matter.
Throughout the episode, Dubrow expressed feeling like the “punching bag” of the group. She revealed that she constantly felt criticized and that she just wanted the trip to end peacefully. Frustrated with the constant scrutiny, Dubrow decided she had had enough and announced her intention to leave the show.
It remains to be seen whether Dubrow will actually quit “The Real Housewives of Orange County” or if this explosive argument will eventually be resolved. One thing is certain, though – tensions are at an all-time high, and the future of the show may be in question.
“The Real Housewives of Orange County” airs on Bravo every Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
