Answering the million-dollar question!

The Big Daddy of Bravo, Andy Cohen, reveals why Bravo decided to fire Braunwyn Windham-Burke ahead of the Real Housewives of Orange County 16th season.

Andy says that the network didn’t feel that Braunwyn was in the “healthiest” spot to continue sharing her life on reality TV.

“I will say, regarding Braunwyn, I really give it up to her and commend her for being so open and letting us in, especially relating to her journey with sobriety,” Andy stated on RadioAndy. “She was going through some really serious life stuff on the show and she didn’t shy away from sharing with us, which I always appreciate.”

“Listening to her at the reunion made [us] feel like, maybe at this moment in time, being on TV wasn’t the healthiest spot for she and her family,” he shared. “I think she was dealing with some real stuff with herself, with her marriage, with her children. It was a lot.”

Meanwhile, Braunwyn recently admitted that she’s still heartbroken over getting axed from RHOC.

“It sucks. I was really looking forward to showing the other side,” Braunwyn confessed.

She added that she’s most hurt by Andy.

“I haven’t spoken to him. I think that’s what hurt me so much,” she said. “I was not in the healthiest place at the reunion. I was less than a year sober. I was still struggling a lot. There was a lot of tension with my cast. I knew what I was getting into and it wasn’t hard.”

“Although I wasn’t in a great place [then], I’ve gotten so much better by doing the work. And I think we all go through moments in our life that are tough. We’ve all had, you know, mental breakdowns or times in our life where we’re not OK, but we get better,” she continued. “We do the work. And then we heal. And I wish someone had just said, ‘Hey, what’s going on now? How are you healing? How are you doing?’ Because where I was six months ago and where I am now are so different. So that did hurt just because no one took the time to call.”

RHOC is expected to return for season 16 in late 2021 or early 2022.

Tamra Judge is ready to battle it out in court with former Real Housewives of Orange County foe Jim Bellino.

After refusing to settle with Jim, who was previously married to RHOC star Alexis Bellino, Tamra has told a judge that she is prepared to go to trial over the $1 million defamation lawsuit.

As we have previously reported, Tamra and Shannon Beador were sued by Jim in the summer of 2018 for over $1 million after they made some questionable comments about Jim while appearing on Heather McDonald’s Juicy Scoop podcast. The OC Housewives dishes on the bevy of lawsuits against Jim and his trampoline business as well as his “scam” divorce from Alexis.

At the time, Jim claimed that Shannon and Tamra were guilty of defamation due to their statements about him which included claims his trampoline park left paralyzed and the fact that he may go to jail.

Tamra and Shannon denied Jim’s allegations and claimed that their comments were true and/or their own opinions.  In January 2019, a judge dismissed Shannon from the case and order Jim to pay her $137,000 to cover her legal fees.

Jim continues to demand more a $1 million from Tamra, who doesn’t believe she owes Jim a dime. She’s ready for her day in court and to fight back against Jim’s claims.

Tamra and Jim’s court battle will begin on November 8, 2021.

RHOC is expected to return for season 16 in late 2021 or early 2022.

Braunwyn Windham-Burke is officially DONE with former Real Housewives of Orange County co-star Kelly Dodd.

The mom of seven dubbed Kelly “bitter” after Kelly accused her of ruining RHOC and getting them both fired.

Kelly blasted Braunwyn over text messages then shared the messages on Instagram.

“We’d still be on the show if you didn’t make things so dark and ugly and brought all that political ‘woke’ BS.’ … Your lies about me, calling me a racist and a homophobe were horribly destructive and your phony storylines didn’t help either,” Kelly said in the messages.

“You just have to laugh at this point — only Kelly Dodd would post screenshots of her own texts that make her look wildly immature,” Braunwyn told Page Six. “I guess that’s what being bitter is like, and I tried to empathize with her, as you can see.”

While Braunwyn didn’t deny that her text exchange with Kelly went down but she claims Kelly “cut out” portions of the texts including where she wished Kelly “nothing but the best” and “hoped she has a beautiful life.”

She concluded, “As far as ‘woke and political BS goes,’ I will never stop or be ashamed for standing up for communities who are hurting. If she wants to see what I’ve been up to, she can unblock me, and check out my Amplified Voices series on Instagram. I bet she’s going to be thrilled with what we are doing with it next.”

Despite the drama, Braunwyn admits she’s open to the idea of finding peace with Kelly.

“I’m a big believer in growing and changing, and second chances (or in this case 10th or 11th chance),” she added. “At the end of the day, it’s just a tv show and we are still neighbors.”

Both women were fired from RHOC ahead of season 16 along with co-star Elizabeth Lyn Vargas.

RHOC is expected to return for season 16 in late 2021 or early 2022.

Firing back!

Emily Simpson is firing back after Real Housewives of Orange County co-star Braunwyn Windham-Burke after the former OC Housewife dissed her in a major way.

The drama all started when Braunwyn talked to Entertainment Tonight about the OC Housewives who didn’t get their oranges taken away ahead of season 16.

As we previously reported Bravo recently kicked Braunwyn, Kelly Dodd, and Elizabeth Lyn Vargas to the curb.

According to Braunwyn, she doesn’t understand why Emily got to keep her orange.

“Honestly, I think it’s weird. Gina, I get. Gina was very, like, whatever,” Braunwyn said.

“Emily, I think Tamra Judge said it best, it’s like watching paint dry. I agree. I know her in real life and I’m like, you were Eeyore,” she continued.

The mom of seven agrees with Bravo’s choice to keep Shannon Beador and re-hire former OC Housewife Heather Dubrow.

“I think Shannon’s good, because you get the older, long-term viewers, that’s good for bringing them back,” she admitted. “I think the dynamics with the new and the old will be interesting.”

She continued, “Heather’s a great casting decision. The idea of Heather and Gina is going to be weird.”

Braunwyn added that she believes that the producers “should have gone further” with the casting changes and more wealth to the show.

“If you’re going to recast, and you’re going to go the direction of — and I know the new cast members — so if you’re going that direction, I just think that it’s going to be an interesting dynamic,” Braunwyn said.

“You have young, hot, rich, beautiful, cool, liberal,” she added. “And then conservative Trump supporters. It’s going to be an interesting dynamic.”

Meanwhile, Emily clapped back at Braunwyn’s diss during a Q & A on her Instagram stories.

“Thoughts on Braunwyn’s recent comments about you?” one fan asked.

Emily replied, “Fraunwyn can run her mouth all she wants…but she’s still fired and unlikeable.”

RHOC is expected to return for season 16 in late 2021 or early 2022.
