Baneful Kelly Dodd won’t be recurring to “The Real Housewives of Orange County” — and neither will Braunwyn Windham-Burke or Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, a Bravo rep established to Page Six.
The network deteriorated to recommence their agreements.
But one acquainted face will be making a comeback. Heather Dubrow, who showed up on Seasons 7 through 11 of the reality shows, is established to reappearance for the upcoming 16th season.
Cast members Shannon Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, and Emily Simpson are also chronic.
Page Six reported that two strangers will also join the cast, one of whom is an “unknown” wealthy black woman.
Windham-Burke seemed on “RHOC” for two seasons while Vargas only appeared on the most recent season. But it was Dodd whom people wanted to be removed from the series because of her controversial opinions and comments about the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2021, Dodd described the pandemic as “God’s way of thinning the herd.” She later says sorry for her remarks but didn’t look as if to learn from her errors, coming under fire again in 2021 for mocking COVID-19 in a video filmed when she returned to the indoor dining.
As per pagesix.com, “In one now-deleted video, she was heard yelling “Cheers!” as someone yelled out, “To super spreaders.” One of her friends then fake-coughed after shouting, “Spread that s–t.”
A company named Positive Beverage helped Dodd get off the ground but fired her shortly after the videos went viral.
The anger in contradiction of Dodd only degenerated after she wore a hat with the slogan “Drunk Wives Matter,” which many felt stabbed fun at the Black Lives Matter movement.
“It was not intended to offend or make any kind of statement,” she said in a statement after the controversy. “Of course, I support black lives and racial equality! Thank you, all Love, Kelly.”
Last season, Vargas’ storyline circled her being raised in a religious offbeat. Windham-Burke, temporarily, came out as gay in December after filming for Season 15 draped and spoke on the gathering about how she and longtime spouse Sean Burke premeditated to stay married despite her expose.
