Looks like the tension and drama between new housewife Noella Bergener and Heather Dubrow isn't going to be diffused anytime soon. The two 'Real Housewives of Orange County' stars got off on the wrong foot right from the get-go and with each passing episode, things just got worse between the ladies. The recent source of conflict between the two fan-favorite 'RHOC' stars is Noella's allegations that Heather attacked the show's crew members and 'slammed them against walls'.

When Noella accused Heather of violence, needless to say, Heather got really defensive and began quizzing her co-star about what exactly she witnessed. Noella finally gave up and admitted that she didn't actually see the housewife slamming or attacking anybody but heard about it from someone. The new housewife also alluded that some other ladies too were privy to this information. When the ladies began pushing Noella to reveal who else heard about it, she pointed at Heather's ally Emily Simpson. Even though Emily lashed out at Noella and snuffed all claims of hearing anything about Heather's violent behavior, Noella continued her crusade against Heather, The recently aired episode once again featured Heather and Noella locking horns over it. Though Noella may not have any of the ladies on the show supporting her or backing her up against Heather, the new housewife seems to have found an ally in former housewife Kelly Dodd. So did Heather really attack the crew members and slammed people against the walls? Well, read on to find out.

Did Heather Dubrow attack the 'RHOC' filming crew?

Before we get into what Kelly had to say about the whole Heather situation, let us first take a look at what the audience did see on the show from the night Heather was accused of attacking people at her home. The premiere episode of 'RHOC' Season 16 kicked off with Heather throwing a lavish party for her friends. The fun and casual party quickly turned into total chaos when Heather learned about rumors of her husband Dr Terry Dubrow being sued by her friend Nicole James for a botched surgery. An angry Heather was filmed demanding the cameramen to stop filming and pushing the cameras away before storming off. But the housewife later returned and tried resolving the issue with Nicole.

In the midst of all this drama, someone reportedly told Noella that Heather was slamming people against walls and attacking them, and Emily too was reportedly present there at that time. Though Emily denied it, former housewife Kelly claimed otherwise. On her podcast 'Rick & Kelly Unmasked', the ex 'RHOC' star revealed texts she received from Emily after the filming. The texts show Emily telling Kelly that Heather 'flipped out' and was 'screaming' for the cameras to stop filming. Kelly felt that it was proof to prove that Heather engaged in violent behavior even though the attorney housewife didn't mention anywhere about Heather throwing hands at anybody.

So coming back to the question of did Heather really attack anybody? Well, we don't think so. If the housewife did physically assault someone then we doubt that the producers would not air that footage or even allow her to continue filming. On the other hand, was Noella lying about it? That also seems unlikely as Noella claimed that she heard it from somebody. So whoever told Noella about it might have been exaggerating or embellished the story a bit to make it more dramatic. Either way, we can't wait to see how things pan out between these two'RHOC' powerhouses on the upcoming episodes of the Bravo show.

'Real Housewives of Orange County' Season 16 airs every Wednesday at 9/8c on Bravo.
