Vicki Gunvalson Suggests Bravo Should “Pause” Heather Dubrow on RHOC, Claims She “Does Not Fit” Because She’s Too Liberal, Plus Vicki Says Tamra Can “Act Really Well”
Vicki Gunvalson said Heather Dubrow “does not fit” in Orange County, and she suggested that Bravo “pause” her. The Real Housewives of Orange County ‘OG’ also shared that Tamra Judge
In the new season, Tamra befriended Katie Ginella after the cast turned on her. Interestingly, Tamra seemed to play a pivotal role in turning the cast against her in the first place. Now, some fans question if Tamra is positioning herself with Katie to win back the audience’s favor.
Earlier in the season, Heather admitted during a lie detector test that she would rather be a castmate on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — a franchise known for hiring wealthier stars.

“She does not fit into Orange County,” said Vicki. “She’s very liberal. Orange County is a Republican conservative county. How do I know? I speak to the women and men in Orange County.”
Vicki was then asked what happens when castmates have vastly different political opinions.
“We typically don’t talk about it, but it’s very clear,” she explained. “And Kelly Dodd is very clear on speaking about it outwardly. I don’t [share my politics], but it’s very clear where Heather and
Vicki also seemed to imply that part of the Dubrows’ money is “inherited.”
“I don’t resent anything that they have built and have and inherited,” she said. “She just doesn’t fit in … Your house values are 1 million to 5 million in Orange County. Hers is like 50 million. It’s hard to break bread with that. I don’t think she understands or appreciates the 1 to 5 million dollar homes.”
Vicki suggested that Bravo should perhaps “pause” Heather.
Later in the podcast, Vicki addressed Tamra’s dramatic change from last season. “She can act really well,” said Vicki. “She knows what to do. She’s a making-money girl, and I’m so proud of her … She knows what to do to stay on that show.”
New episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County air on Thursday nights on Bravo.
“DWTS IN SHOCK”: Hilaria Baldwin EXPLODES, CLAIMING She Was ‘BULLIED OFF THE FLOOR,’ Accusing Judges and Cast of SABOTAGE, SECRET VOTING AGAINST HER, and Behind-the-Scenes FEUDS That Forced Her Exit
Hilaria Baldwin is two-stepping toward the haters.
Following her elimination last week from Dancing With the Stars, the 41-year-old shared why she believes she and her partner Gleb Savchenko were booted from season 34 of the competition series.
“I did get bullied off the show,” Hilaria said in an Oct. 12 Instagram Live, referring to the criticism she received online throughout her four weeks on DWTS. “I did, that’s for sure. That is for sure.”
In fact, the The Baldwins star—who shares kids Carmen, 11, Rafael, 10, Leonardo, 8, Romeo, 7, Eduardo, 4, María Lucía, 4, and Ilaria, 2, with husband Alec Baldwin—has been vocal about facing negative comments online throughout her time on the ABC show.
"There's a big problem online right now. It's a big problem," she told season 33 winner Joey Graziadei on the show’s official podcast immediately after her Oct. 9 elimination. "We don't see each other. We make enemies out of each other. And I'm talking about my fellow women. Women's inhumanity to women. We need to stop. We will never get anywhere.”
Hilaria had also used World Mental Health Day to address the “very coordinated, strategic bullying” she received while on Dancing With the Stars.
“I would be remiss if I didn't address the elephant in the room,” she said in an Oct. 11 Instagram video, “which is that there was some bullying going on aimed at me over the past few weeks.”
“One of the most common things that people say to me when they meet me—when they actually meet me—is how surprised they are by negativity that I receive,” Hilaria continued, “because in reality, I am none of the negative things that some people say and that breaks my heart.”
The former yoga instructor also called out the “campaigns of hate” that she sees as an issue plaguing public-facing people.
“They take lives and they demolish mental health, and it's tragic how rampant this behavior is, and countless suffer daily,” Hilaria explained. “Some of the people who have harassed me for years and misrepresented and outright have lied about me, I know that they'll only be satisfied when I'm gone. It seems that nothing I can say or do will be right in their eyes.”
Despite the negativity, Hilaria is appreciative to her supporters who helped get her cast on the show.
“I'm so grateful for this experience that I had on Dancing with the Stars,” she shared. “I never thought I would dance again, and I have all of you to thank for writing into the show and making this wild experience happen.”
Hilaria added, “I'm so blessed that I got to share this with my family. I loved everybody I met there, and I'm really excited to cheer on my cast mates.”
