Heather Dubrow Addresses RHOC Season 16's New Cast Rumors

Earlier this summer it was confirmed that Heather Dubrow would be returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County for Season 16. And now we're hearing from Heather herself about just what we can expect from her return when she appeared on Bravo's Chat Room on Wednesday (August 25).

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Peacock and the Bravo App.

Heather kept all her teases vague but juicy, and we are intrigued by even the smallest detail she revealed, which you can check out in the clip, above. And when she drops phrases like "I don't need backup" when asked who might be hanging out with her this season, you can bet Porsha Williams and Gizelle Bryant also had their interest piqued by the RHOC cast member's spicy teases.

But. That's. Not. All. Heather also shared a bit more gossip. "Just between the three of us, right? It's in the vault?" she asked the Bravo's Chat Room co-hosts, before teasing something that left Porsha sharing her theory about what "the little shakeup" and "the little plot twist" might be.

"All I can say is, it's going to be fun," Heather added in the clip, below.

Heather Dubrow Reveals a RHOC Season 16 "Plot Twist"

Heather first joined the franchise in Season 7 and exited several seasons later following Season 11. In June, when it was announced that she'd be back to join the RHOC cast, Heather spoke to Andy Cohen on her Heather Dubrow's World podcast about why she decided to return now.

"Timing is a big deal," Heather said about why now is the right time to return to the cast. "Now things are a little bit different. My family's in a different place. My kids are a little bit older. The pandemic has sort of given me a different perspective on things. And then I started thinking about, 'How many times do you get to go back and try something again?'"

Heather added, "I am excited. I'm mildly terrified. It seems so surreal."

In June, it was announced that Shannon Storms BeadorGina Kirschenheiter, and Emily Simpson will also return to the next season of RHOC.
