Braunwyn Windham-Burke is shutting down rumors she and *Real Housewives of Orange County* newbie Noella Bergener were once an item. The former OC star insists that she and her former bestie Noella *“were never romantically involved.” * *“I do want to make it very clear: we were never romantically involved. I’ve seen rumors like that,”* Braunwyn quipped on a recent episode of Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp’s [@two.ts.inapod](https://www.instagram.com/two.ts.inapod/) podcast. *“My first lunch with her, I was like, ‘I love this girl. She’s so open. She’s like me on crack,’”* she recalled.* “Any crazy thing I’ve done, she’s done more! … But the thing that I love about her is she owns all of it.”* Braunwyn admits that when she was not asked back for season 16 of RHOC and Noella was given an orange; she pressed pause on their friendship. *“She was my first phone call. I called her before I called anyone else. I sent her a text message, like, ‘Oh my God, I’m so happy for you. You deserve all the beautiful things in life. I just need to take a break right now because this hurts so much,’”* she said, adding that she had hoped to continue to be a part of the show. *“My best guess is that maybe someone we trusted said something to distance her from me,”* Braunwyn explained. *“This is literally me just throwing stuff out there because that’s the only thing that would make sense given how close we were.”* As for a future friendship with Noella, Braunwyn confesses she’s hopeful they can reconcile. *“I do think when the show is over [we can be friends]. I miss her,”* Braunwyn said. *“Things will happen in my life that are so crazy, and there’s no one else I can talk to because she was the only person that fully understood the crazy and embraced me and loved me for it.”* She added, *“It’s very rare in life that you meet people like that.” * *The Real Housewives of Orange County *airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm EST on Bravo. ## Thoughts on this all?
