The Real Housewives of Orange County season premiere is right around the corner. Based on the previews, it seems the new installment will be a highlight from recent years. Of course, Heather Dubrow will be a part of the action. Recently, she sat down for an interview and discussed her beef with Katie Ginella, Alexis Bellino returning, Shannan Beador‘s DUI, and more.
Heather, who is also an actress, expressed interest in returning to the world of scripted content by appearing in the new Jennifer Lawrence movie, a murder mystery based on The Housewives.
Heather recently interviewed with E! News about the new season of RHOC. She first discusses the issues she has with newbie Katie. She says, “Well, I mean, I think, unfortunately, she didn’t come in wanting to get to know me. She had some preconceived notions, as sometimes happens when people join our show. Unfortunately, because I think things might have gone differently.”
She then discusses calling herself “the whipping boy” last season and her drama with Tamra. According to Heather, “After the reunion, I think we sort of looked at each other like, what are we doing? This is crazy. We’ve been friends for so many years.”
She continues, “We really just came back together, and we had a lot of fun this year.”
The conversation then moves to Alexis Bellino coming back to the show. She says the love triangle had nothing to do with her returning, and she then discusses how Shannon handles her return and remaining friends with both ladies.”
Heather says, “How did Shannon handle it? How would you handle it? How would I handle it? I mean, as best as she could.”
She continues, “How does one go in between two friends where there’s a guy in between them? Very carefully.”
When asked if she thinks Alexis and John Janssen will make it down the aisle, Heather responds, “Listen, I’ve been on reality TV for a long time. Nothing surprises me.”
The interviewers then ask about Shannon’s DUI and if she needs to go to rehab. Heather says, “I just don’t think I’m in a position to answer that. I just don’t. I care about Shannon, and I think she’s a grown woman who needs to make her own decisions about her health journey.”
Heather says everyone on the cast “has their own feelings” about Shannon’s sobriety and her health journey. Regarding Tamra confronting her in the previews, she says Tamra Judge is just more direct than most people.
They also discuss Jennifer’s fiance’s involvement in the gambling scheme. When asked how she felt about the scandal, she says, “I mean, this is the first time I’ve ever been involved in a camera pick back up. I don’t know every detail, but you know, some things, and it’s a small town that we live in. News gets around.
Lastly, they discuss Jennifer Lawrence’s upcoming movie The Wives, which is a housewives-inspired movie. When asked if she would do it, she says, “Someone call me. I need to add to my IMDB, clearly.”
Fans can watch new episodes of RHOC every Thursday on Bravo.
