‘Real Housewives of Orange County’: Tamra blames Kelly for Heather Dubrow not returning to show

Kelly Dodd took to Twitter and said Dubrow was not on the show because the network fired her.

The fight between Tamra Judge and Kelly Dodd continues to get dirtier by the minute. Kelly, who is furious with Tamra for spreading rumors that she pushed her mother off the staircase, doesn’t seem to be in any mood of extending an olive branch to her fellow housewife. Recently, a fan commented on one of Tamra’s Instagram posts expressing her love to the reality star and asking her to bring back former housewife Heather Dubrow on the show. The fan wrote, “Love you Tamra - the other one is a snooze! Bring back Heather Dubrow."
 
To this, the fitness guru replied, “She won’t work with kelly." Tamra placed the blame for Dubrow’s absence on the show on Kelly. Kelly noticed the comment and took to her Twitter to share the screenshot of the exchange, and commented, “Upset your friend isn’t on the show anymore to help back up your lies? No need to mention that it’s because the network let her go!! Just #blamekelly." The brunette housewife was so fed up of being blamed for everything that she started a “blamekelly” hashtag to take a dig at Tamra, and also clear up the air about Heather Dubrow’s absence from the show. According to Kelly, Dubrow isn’t on the show and won’t be returning because she has been fired by the network and has nothing to do with her.

Heather Dubrow was a former housewife on ‘RHOC’, who appeared between seasons 7 to 11. She is one of Tamra’s very close friends, and often stuck up to Tamra and defended her. On the current season of RHOC, Kelly Dodd discovers that Tamra is the source of the infamous “sex train” rumors, and also her pushing her mother off the staircase rumors. There is a lot of tension between both the housewives, who blame each other for manipulating the other housewives. Currently, Shannon and Gina appear to be on Tamra’s side, while Emily is a strong supporter of Kelly and Braunwyn appears to be taking a neutral stance. Fans often bring up Heather time and again whenever Tamra gets into trouble or controversies saying that Heather would have stood up for her.

Even in the show's "After Show" special, we see Kelly Dodd and Emily Simpson comment about how the other housewives have ganged up against Kelly and bully her because she isn't a "conformist." Emily brings up the lunch she had with Tamra and Vicki where they tried to brainwash her against Kelly but Emily reveals that she stood her ground and didn't turn her back on Kelly. Kelly adds how the current season 14 is similar to season 10 when the tensions between her and Heather were high, and how all the housewives ganged up against her. The housewife says that she feels like it's a "deja vu."
