If you were ever holding out hope that Gretchen Rossi might return to The Real Housewives of Orange County it’s time to let go of that dream.
After what she just said about the franchise there’s no chance they’ll ever welcome her back to the show.
The blonde beauty didn’t hold back during a recent podcast as she blasted the show for portraying her as a “gold digger.”
When Gretchen joined Rhoc in Season 4, she was engaged to Jeff Beitzel – a rich older man 24 years her senior who was diagnosed with cancer and later died.
It didn’t take much for Gretchen’s castmates and viewers to think she was only in the relationship for money, but Gretchen is outraged by those claims.
During her recent interview, the Rhoc alum slammed the show for manipulating her true story, admitting she had no idea what she was signing up for.

Before NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation in New York City next week, Bravo has announced that it’s renewing a slew of its shows: 15 in total. Among the renewals is its nightly talk show “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” putting to rest any speculation that the network is looking to cut ties with Cohen after his being named in a lawsuit against the company by former “Real Housewives of New York City” cast member Leah McSweeney. Brandi Glanville, formerly of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” had also made legal threats against Cohen.
Cohen, the face of the Bravo, and an executive producer of the “Real Housewives” franchise, will remain so. A spokesperson for Bravo told Variety: “The outside investigation into the recent allegations made by Brandi Glanville and Leah McSweeney against Andy Cohen has now been completed, and the claims were found to be unsubstantiated.”

Ryan Boyajian, who, along with fiancée Jennifer Pedranti, appeared on Season 17 of The Real Housewives of Orange County (Rhoc), is reportedly embroiled in the $17 million gambling and theft scandal involving the former interpreter of Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani.
Ippei Mizuhara, the former interpreter of Japanese baseball star Shohei Ohtani, agreed to plead guilty to US charges that he illegally transferred nearly $17m from the athlete’s bank account. The Los Angeles Prosecutors contend Mizuhara used that money to pay off unlawful gambling debts to an illegal bookmaker.

The Real Housewives of Orange County star gets a lot of slack from fans, but they might change their tune when she goes head-to-head with Shannon Beador in the new season.

Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador have taken their feud to new heights as the drama follows them on their cast trip to London.
We’ve seen several photos of The Real Housewives of Orange County stars filming Season 18 out of the country.
However, audio recently leaked of an alleged fight between Shannon and Tamra as their Tres Amigas drama continues.
We already knew that the fallout between the once close trio would play out onscreen after Tamra distanced herself from Shannon and Vicki Gunvalson, also choosing to ditch their comedy show.
Shannon and Vicki have accused Tamra of being a bad friend and she has since clapped back at the pair.
The friendship fallout occurred before filming began on Season 18 and while Vicki is no longer a cast member on the show, full-time Housewives Shannon and Tamra knew they would have to film together.

Shannon Beador’s ex, John Janssen, appears determined to make her life miserable, and now they are embroiled in a bitter lawsuit.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star recently responded to John’s claims that she owes him $75,000.
In March, John filed a lawsuit against Shannon for alleged breach of oral contract and promissory fraud amid claims she borrowed the money for a facelift procedure.
John allegedly loaned the 59-year-old $40,000 in January 2022 and another $35,000 in 2023, both of which she reportedly agreed to return with interest — according to a complaint obtained by People.
However, John claims Shannon has yet to repay him despite his reaching out multiple times.
Meanwhile, Shannon recently explained her version of the story and claimed John never requested the money back until recently.
Now, the exes are headed to court to battle it out — something the mom of three was hoping to avoid.

Can you believe The Real Housewives franchise first hit our screens 18 years ago?
Andy Cohen took to Instagram this week to pay tribute to the show that started it all – The Real Housewives of Orange County.
The series premiered on March 21, 2006, and although it isn’t considered one of the best seasons, we may not have seen the other shows without it.
The original cast included Kimberly Bryant, Jo De La Rosa, Vicki Gunvalson, Jeana Keough, and Lauri Peterson.
Of course, Gunvalson remains a mainstay on the show and has been filming for the upcoming Rhoc Season 18.
The other four original stars are distant memories, but the show must continue.
Andy Cohen is thankful for Rhoc
“I didn’t know then how that show- and over a hundred incredible women over ten-plus spinoffs – would change pop culture, and my life,” said Cohen, who serves as an Executive Producer and reunion host across the sprawling franchise.

We didn’t have The Real Housewives of Orange County staging a return to form on our bingo card, but the series shifted gears in a big way in 2023.
After solving most of its casting woes and delivering one of the strongest seasons in years, we’re now looking ahead to Rhoc Season 18.
For the first time in a long time, we can’t wait to see what’s on tap for the ladies as they navigate some genuinely shocking things going on in their lives.
Of course, one of the biggest storylines involves the aftermath of Shannon Beador’s arrest for a DUI hit and run in September 2023.
The series didn’t start filming the current season until months later, and the show will attempt to capture the process of Beador picking up the pieces.
Sadly, it sounds like she’ll face an uphill battle as far as most of her co-stars are concerned.

A feud between Tamra Judge of The Real Housewives of Orange County and Parvati Shallow from Survivor may pique interest in a reunion show for The Traitors 2.
Tamra and Parvati each appeared on the second season of The Traitors, with Parvati, Big Brother’s Dan Gheesling, and Rhoa’s Phaedra Parks Murdering Tamra in the game.
Parvati was eliminated three episodes later when she got Banished at a Roundtable. She was the second Traitor eliminated, as Dan was Banished right before her.
Many players from The Traitors have been doing interviews as the show continues rolling. And it’s those interviews where feuds and chaos have been coming up.
One feud is between Big Brother legends, as guest star Dr. Will Kirby went after his fellow alums and how they have played The Traitors.
And now Tamra hasn’t taken kindly to Parvati speaking about her during a recent podcast episode hosted by Johnny Bananas.

The Real Housewives franchise has featured countless housewives across their various iterations- some land well with viewers, and others become a distant memory.
Reality TV is a cutthroat world, and some housewives don’t get a fair shake from the production companies that make the shows, the network, and — you guessed it — the fans.
Let’s take a look at some one-and-done cast members that deserve another chance.
We probably wouldn’t even be thinking this way if it wasn’t for Monica Garcia, who single-handedly steered The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City to one of the best seasons in Real Housewives history.
Was she unhinged? Of course, but as you’ve probably realized, if you’ve watched these shows as long as we have, unhinged personalities go hand in hand with reality TV.

We knew it was coming, but we’re surprised we have confirmation this soon.
Vicki Gunvalson is officially returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County, with the original star getting back to work this week to bring the Tres Amigas feud to the small screen.
TMZ first reported the news, but there’s a significant caveat:
Gunvalson will not reclaim her orange. In fact, she won’t even be a friend of the housewives.
Instead, the 61-year-old has been drafted in for an on-screen takedown of onetime friend Tamra Judge.

Vicki Gunvalson is officially returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County, with the original star getting back to work this week to bring the Tres Amigas feud to the small screen.
TMZ first reported the news, but there’s a significant caveat:
Gunvalson will not reclaim her orange. In fact, she won’t even be a friend of the housewives.
Instead, the 61-year-old has been drafted in for an on-screen takedown of onetime friend Tamra Judge.

If Erin Lichy didn’t want to start a feud with the original Real Housewives of New York City ladies, she probably shouldn’t have mentioned them.
As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Lichy shut down rumors that the legacy and new cast would be merging during a recent appearance on Housewives Nightcap.
Things got pretty awkward when the Rhony newbie was asked about Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Dorinda Medley, Kelly Bensimon, Sonja Morgan, and Kristen Taekman reuniting for a season of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.
“It was cute,” the mother of three said in response to the question.
Given her delivery of the above sentence, we’re inclined to believe it was shade thrown at the OGs.
Reality TV stars are shady people. And it’s why their shows perform so well: people tune in for the shade of it all.

As filming for The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 heats up, more spoilers have emerged.

Judge, who reclaimed her orange last season after a two-season hiatus, is seen in the footage dancing on the bar at The Boulevard in Costa Mesa.
While Bravo cameras caught all of the footage, fans were in their glory watching the display and got their own phones out to capture the moment.

The Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge was eliminated on a new The Traitors 2 episode.
The Traitors is a reality competition show streaming on Peacock, and the second season has 22 celebrities competing for a $250,000 prize. The season began with 21 people, but Kate Chastain from Below Deck joined them in Episode 5.
Four women from the Real Housewives franchises appear on the Season 2 cast, setting up a possible alliance for the quartet.
But after five episodes, two housewives have already been eliminated.
Larsa Pippen from The Real Housewives of Miami, Sheree Whitfield from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Phaedra Parks from Rhoa also played the game.
Having four Bravo stars made the women early targets, but Phaedra did her best to alleviate suspicions. That included going after Tamra.

It might be some time before Season 18 hits our screens, but at least the cast is now filming.
We recently spotted Shannon Beador, and newbie Jennifer Pedranti out together with the Bravo cameras in tow.
Many Rhoc viewers are eager to see what Jen has in store her second time around.
The newbie got a lot of love and sympathy from viewers after she was introduced to the group by Tamra Judge last season.
However, poor Jen was like a deer in the headlights as she slowly realized that the Tamra she knew morphed into a different person when the cameras started rolling.
By the time the season ended, so did their friendship.

It’s been quite some time since “Jesus Jugs” has been on The Real Housewives of Orange County, and given her current love life situation, not bringing her back to film wouldn’t be wise.
After Shannon Beador’s split from John Janssen following Season 17 wrapping, things spiraled out of control for the Rhoc star. After her DUI arrest in September, she and John ended their friendship, and he moved on — with Alexis.
To add to the juicy drama in the Oc, Tamra Judge repaired her friendship with Alexis, and the two have been cordial since being at BravoCon together. Tamra is no longer part of the Tres Amigas, leaving her at odds with Shannon as they begin to film Season...

Shortly after Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Orange County” finished its third season, the network introduced viewers to “The Real Housewives of New York City,” thus properly establishing an American franchise that has since grown to include nine more similarly formatted series and over two dozen spin-offs. Since March 2008, 14 seasons and more than 270 episodes of the Big Apple-set show have been produced, with 23 women having formed its various five to eight-person casts. Check out our photo gallery showcasing every housewife who has starred on this series.
Despite being filmed in a vastly different part of the United States, “The Real Housewives of New York City” closely emulated its predecessor by initially following the lives of five upper class female friends: Luann de Lesseps, Bethenny Frankel, Alex McCord, Ramona Singer, and Jill Zarin. Although de Lesseps briefly relinquished her star status for a single year, she and Singer remained on...

“Now for Real Housewives of Orange County. I heard, uh, who’s coming back allegedly. Why not bring back Taylor Armstrong? That just seems like a good value. You weren’t paying her that much. I think she was giving you guys, I mean, a lot. Why would you not bring her back? What is that reasoning?” Jeff asked.
“I don’t know,” Andy responded.
“Why does nobody consult me? And then with Vicki [Gunvalson], why can’t you just give her a, I mean, just give her an orange for f-ck sake. You just keep bringing her back as a friend. She...

As part of Variety’s 100 Greatest Shows of All Time issue, we asked writers on our staff to name their favorite cult shows — series that may lack the clout, the following, or the prestige to quite notch an entry on our list, but ones for which our writers have a special fondness. Here are seven shows that are, to us, the greatest.
Alias
So the central mythology, about the mystical inventor Milo Rambaldi, came to little as the show went on. No big deal. On “Alias,” it was all about the ride. That’s meant very literally: Each week, the show crash-landed into an episode-ending cliffhanger. As played by a luminous, game, and utterly committed Jennifer Garner, superspy double agent Sydney Bristow changed her loyalties, her allies, and her wigs. The only constant in her life was chaos, into which a writing team led by J.J. Abrams thrust her week after week.

Peacock is headed back to the treacherous Scottish castle for another season of The Traitors.
The streaming service announced that the second season will debut Thursday, January 12, 2024.

Instead of releasing all of the episodes on day one, we're getting a weekly release, which is sure to up the tension considerably.
The series was a big success for Peacock, so it makes sense that the network would want that conversation for weeks on end.
