The Real Housewives of Orange County

TERRY AND HEATHER DUBROW: FOR THE LOVE OF REAL ESTATE

Well that was fast. Reality stars Heather and Terry Dubrow made news when they sold their Newport Beach home for $55 million and moved into a penthouse in LA’s star studded building, the Century. Well now it turns out the Real Housewife of Orange County and her Botched doctor husband have NO plans to leave Orange County, like everyone assumes. The couple purchased the LA penthouse as part of a 1031 exchange, a tax code that lowers ones taxes after selling a property if another property is purchased within a short amount of time. It’s just an investment. Heather and Terry have been trying to lease their LA penthouse for $75,000 a month,(see link below) and they are leasing a house in OC until they find a home they want to buy.

Ratings Shannon Beador The Real Housewives of Orange County

WHAT REAL OC HOUSEWIVES WILL DO FOR RATINGS

We cringe at the word “housewife,” but fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County will appreciate this tidbit. Producers have been worried about declining ratings for a few years, and they tried bringing in new cast members, but that failed. So now they’re reverting back to storylines that worked in the past. Shannon Beador’s divorce from her husband David brought in huge ratings as the nastiness of the split sent shockwaves through the pricey OC community where they lived. They haven’t spoken for years, but this past weekend, Shannon conveniently ran into her ex-husband at The Quiet Woman, a restaurant in Corona Del Mar. She immediately posted a photo to her social media (dolled up in her best) and the story went viral. Our source says this was no coincidence – that meeting was planned. Producers are hoping to generate buzz for the upcoming season which debuts next week so expect more of these so called “random” encounters.

Jennifer Armstrong MD scandal The Real Housewives of Orange County

THE NEW “ORANGE COUNTY HOUSEWIFE” IS MORE THAN A DOCTOR

The Real housewives of Orange County just started filming next season and they’ve added a tantalizing new cast member. She’s Jennifer Armstrong, an Orange County MD who specializes in skin care and anti-aging treatments, of course. But she’s more than your typical educated, successful woman- she got through school the easy way – with someone else paying for it! Back in 2014 she was sued by her disgruntled billionaire former fiancé who claims he paid her way through medical school while showering her with money, a Range Rover, jewelry etc, and after graduation she cheated on him and dumped him. By that time she was pregnant with twins that she claimed were HIS, but it turned out they weren’t! They eventually settled the lawsuit, but Bravo hopes to find the billionaire and get him to appear on the show.

Only on a “reality” show like “The Real Housewives of Orange County” would you see a woman like Gretchen Rossi hefting trash bags full of castoffs to be sold at her own garage sale. Certainly the event was lovingly filmed for the popular series. To make the sale seem even more unlikely, Gretchen’s boyfriend Slade Smiley (who was engaged to another O.C. housewife not long ago) helped out. Slade and Gretchen appear to have a passionate desire for fame in common. Gretchen is best known for being an O.C. Housewife WITHOUT implants.
