RHOC: Heather Dubrow on Facing Off With Newbie Katie Ginella and Shannon Beador's DUI Drama

'The Real Housewives of Orange County' returns for season 18, the 100th season in the 'Real Housewives' franchise. Heather Dubrow reacts to the Bravo milestones, previewing the ups and downs to come, especially between her and new Housewife Katie Ginella. Heather explains why the two didn't get along, comparing Katie to season 16 addition Noella Bergener. Plus, Heather weighs in on the Shannon Beador saga, reflecting on her co-star's arrest for an alleged DUI and the larger conversation happening within the group around Shannon's drinking. 'RHOC' airs Thursdays on Bravo, with episodes available to stream next day on Peacock.

Heather could care less about the other ladies all she’s interested in is showing off her wealth and mansions.

Heather, Tamara is not someone you want to be friends with.

Didn’t Heather also try to look for a problem with Alexis when she first joined the show back in season 7? So who is she to talk about “inauthentic” now?😓

[@leanndoolin4284]

Alexis should have never been brought back.

[@Beautiful_Disaster444]

100% 😂😂

[@minimalist2036]

These women are not friends. They are co-workers. Co-workers that you are REQUIRED to spend time and try to get along with…that’s all

[@charliedemosmusic]

Exactly. It’s never been “real” but some folks still think all of this is reality. Which is bizarre

[@Tquin55]

Tamara has never had a friend she’s kept.

[@carter7937]

I like Shannon ,but the fact that she went back to drinking before even finishing her alcohol classes is a sign that she has an issue. If there was no alcohol issue then she wouldn't have an issue abstaining until she completes her required classes/treatment.

[@bydivadream]

this is why it's so important for viewers to remember "2 things can be true at once"

[@laurac9857]

Exactly. Only person who can't take a break from alcohol is addicts

[@maureen6755]

I still don't understand why she didn't call Uber.

[@NotSorryCharlee]

No one else wanted Alexis back…like at all!

[@RichGoesPlaces]

Right!! No one was excited for her return. We wanted Gretchen lol

[@user-is6de8pp7k]

@@RichGoesPlacesNo, Not Thirsty Gretchen. Not either of them.

[@minimalist2036]

Shannon and John Jansen’s whole relationship was about getting wasted. He drank a lot with her, the more they drank the more toxic they were to each other. I suspect he drinks much less around Alexis

[@classyconversationswithrho344]

Heather was torn apart last year! It was terrible to watch. It's nice to see the heat is off her. Tamar is being too hard on Shannon. It's only a matter of time that Tamra goes at Heather, again. If someone shows you who they are, believe them.

[@johanmichael6624]

I friggin cackled at Heather's reaction to the internet saying every season for Shannon is her worst 🤣. I love Heather so much. She's such an housewives icon

[@cate4338]

MEGHAN WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST RETURN OPTION

[@cigarettesandredlips]

Heather clashing with a newbie? What the hell else is new

[@valeriekelly5257]

Alexis was furious when she found out Jim had dated the one housewife

[@laurac9857]

Heather shouldnt trust tamara

[@irenetsomidis2167]

I don’t think Heather trusts Tamra at all.. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer is how I see what Heather is thinking

[@kristinawoelber6484]

There would be no OC without Shannon they should thank her

[@therockbottom5256]

More like Heather! What?!

[@ccnproductions1753]

There was 8 seasons before Shannon joined lmao ☠️

[@busynana7917]

💯

[@busynana7917]

Oh dear Heather - you’re close to Tamra?!!! 😮😧

[@truth_teller571]

Shannon needs to cut the crap and join AA. She should be having zero alcohol! Not one more drop of alcohol for the rest of her life!

[@jeanie111]

Watch out for Blech Tamara, Heather❤, She might turn on you on a dime, like in the past….

[@lisahymel6359]

I LOVE YOU HEATHER DEBROW!!!!!!! Haters gonna hate girlie and you handle them perfectly!!!! ❤❤❤

[@natalied3347]

A moment of silence? Heather is always so out of touch without even realizing it 😂

[@mirandapillsbury7885]

this season is going to be PERFECT. The entire cast is wonderful (minus the new girl who seems very boring)

[@sunmoonstars0369]

No wonder I love Heather she's from NYC. She always keeps it classy and is unafraid of.confrontation. I don't like Tamra at all Heather keep away from her she will turn on you at your most vulnerable .

[@Kat3Lov382]

Is she from NYC or from NY state?

[@wendyeskelin8765]

I'm pretty confident in saying that NO ONE wanted Alexis back this season or ANY season. She is the worst, and then add in this whole twist with her embarrassing herself and "Johnny J" is an understatement.

[@vzee8037]

So Heather’s reaction to seeing Shannon’s photo was all an act? On the preview, she looks shocked.

[@RichGoesPlaces]

Well she is an actress lol

[@fayrefitness5416]

I fast forward all scenes with Tamra. I only care about Shannon

[@JK-wg5rp]

"Not your circus, not your monkeys", is a great expression ❤

[@sirblanka]

Heather Dubrow talking about "authenticity" LOOOOOL what a hypocrite what a joke! lmaaooooooooooooo

[@admusik99]

Heather is THAT GIRL! point blank & PERIOD!

[@noreenmountain2994]

I actually like Heather, shes growing on me but i was disgusted with ALL of them, especially Heather, when none of them shut Tamra down at that dinner. What happened Heather? I thought you held the moral high ground?

[@Ariesstar29]

They made me love heather ..love.. and i used to dislike her so much but dang.. the girls are jalousssssss

[@patternmotherlode9250]

" I think we can all agree, I had it the roughest" 🙄

[@noreenmountain2994]

Alexis is strong??? Is Heather serious?? Alexis is as strong as the last man telling her what to think! Shes a ragging dingbat 😂😂😂😂❤

[@twelve11]

Love Heather, vindication from last year's disgusting display of ganging up

[@Solace-ow1iw]

Or Heather Dubrow and any acting award...

[@Beautiful_Disaster444]

Lol who wanted alexis back 😂😂😂😂

[@terryMcb]

Should’ve just brought back Kelly !!

[@nancyhart56]

Love me some HEATHER 👏👏👏💜

[@lisahymel6359]

Alexis is wayyyyyyy too pretty for him. Sorry John.

[@carolroth440]

I love Heather ❤

[@carolroth440]

Johnny Jtamra is horrible to Jen and others ugh

[@litrealred6840]

[@kimsattler7997]

[@ΑντωνηςΜανωλαγκας]

[@mia_mya4701]

She is adorable! Love her!

[@lisarogers7415]

Fake, fake, fake! Grow up, be true to yourself and stop with the ass kiss because you want friends. Want vs need learn the difference!
