Tamra Barney Fired, Heather Dubrow Quits: The Latest Casting News On 'RHOC' Season 10 [Video]
The Real Housewives of Orange County may see a major cast shakeup ahead of season 10.
Tamra Barney To Be Replaced By "High-Profile" Housewife
For weeks, there have been multiple, conflicting reports, regarding the possible termination of Barney's contract with Bravo. In the latest development, it is said that Barney will soon follow in the footsteps of her Real Housewives of New York City counterpart, Ramona Singer.
"Tamra is basically the Ramona Singer of Real Housewives of Orange County, minus the crazy eyes," Celebrity Dirty Laundry reported on Sept. 12, noting that Singer was recently demoted to a recurring role. "The fact that Bravo is revamping the RHONY cast should have Tamra shaking in her boots, because according to the writings on the wall, she is next. Especially since Bravo is already shopping around to replace the Dubrows; maybe they will come across someone to replace Tamra as well."
Bravo Is Searching For New Housewives For 'RHOC' Season 10
Although the Dubrow's exit is also unconfirmed, Dr. Terry Dubrow told Rumorfix last month that he didn't want to return to the show. "Hell no!" he told the site's Mr. Real Housewife. In the same interview, Dubrow denied Barney had gotten the axe.
“No way,” he told the site. “They wouldn’t fire her because Tamra is real. Tamra is honest. She brings what is real in her mind and her heart."
Barney has also denied reports of her firing both on Twitter and in the press.
Still, with no word from Bravo, it's hard to know for sure who will return for season 10.
Below, check out what may become the final moments of Barney and Dubrow on The Real Housewives of Orange County.
