Heather Dubrow's RHOC Return Gets a Surprising Reaction from One of the RHOC Alums

She's back! Earlier this summer, it was confirmed that Heather Dubrow will return for Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, joining Shannon Storms Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, and Emily Simpson in the upcoming season.

Heather, who joined RHOC in Season 7, had stepped away after Season 11. And fans will recall that Heather crossed paths with Alexis Bellino during her (first) time on RHOC, and it wasn't exactly smooth sailing for the two women.

So, how does Alexis feel about it all today? She reflected on their drama during an interview with Bravo Insider's Life After Bravo. "It's interesting, 'cause I just love the girl, and that's one of them where once you cross a line, I did kind of get over it," Alexis said before sharing some new insight into how she was able to make peace in the wake of their issues, which you can check out above.

As for Heather's return to RHOC, well, here's how Alexis reacted to the news. "Love you, Heather," Alexis said. "Glad you're going back next season. I might watch again now."

In her Life After Bravo interview, Alexis also shared her take on Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge exiting RHOC back in early 2020. You can find out what she had to say about that in the clip above.

To hear more from Alexis about her four seasons on RHOC, as well as her life today, including where things stand with her ex-husband, if her kids have watched any of her TV appearances (including when she popped up on Below Deck!), and what her life looks like today with fiancé Andy Bohn, make sure you check out Alexis' full Life After Bravo conversation.
