Heather Dubrow returns, rotten oranges exposed on “The Real Housewives of Orange County”

The Real Housewives of Orange County are back for their sweet 16 - and they’re cattier, richer, and more successful than ever.

The opulence has returned to Orange County, as former housewife Heather Dubrow made her grand re-introduction to the long-running Bravo series. Dubrow, 52, was a regular on the show from 2012 to 2018 before re-joining the cast this year for season sixteen, connecting back with series regulars Shannon Storms Beador, Gina Kirshenheiter, and Emily Simpson after a disastrous fifteenth season that tackled the start of the coronavirus.

Sweet Sixteen

The drama begins from the start of the episode, with Shannon holding a secret over Heather’s head, one that only Gina and Emily are aware of. All is revealed as the episode continues - Shannon knows that one of Heather’s friends had sued her husband over a botched plastic surgery, but doesn’t know if Heather knows. Heather is married to Terry Dubrow, famed plastic surgeon and star of E!’s Botched. The episode ends as Nicole joins the party, with a brief glimpse of the drama to come.

The Real Housewives of Orange County premiered on Bravo in March of 2005, and has been a staple of the network since. Based on scripted television drama’s like Desperate Housewives and Peyton Place, The Real Housewives documents the lives of affluent women and navigates their highs and lows. The Real Housewives franchise spans over 11 cities in the United States as well as 15 international series.

The season sixteen cast also includes Dr. Jennifer Armstrong and Noella Bergener. The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo every Wednesday at 8pm.
