LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jeana Keough, one of the original housewives featured on 'The Real Housewives of Orange County' initially served as a full-time cast member for five seasons before her exit.

The 'RHOC' alum ultimately decided to leave the Bravo show in the third episode of Season 5, titled "It Ends in Coto de Caza," which aired on November 19, 2009. Her departure was reportedly due to feeling undervalued on the show. "I just didn’t feel appreciated by the girls or the network," she said at the time.

Former 'Real Housewives of Orange County' alum unexpectedly appeared on a recent episode of 'Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles' Season 15. Jeana made a surprise cameo at a lavish open house event hosted by real estate mogul Josh Altman for the stunning $26.8 million property known as 1 Island Vista in Newport Beach.

Upon her arrival, Jeana was warmly greeted by Josh and Matt Altman, as well as fellow real estate agent Tracy Tutor, who noted the unique differences between the Orange County and Los Angeles markets.

"Orange County is definitely... it's a mood. People love a little more sequins, a little more flash, a little more gloss. And I'm here for it," she said.

At the same event, Nick Dubrow, the son of 'RHOC' pair Heather Dubrow and Terry Dubrow, was also in attendance. It was revealed that he is currently completing an internship with the Altman Brothers, adding an interesting dynamic to the open house.

"When you buy or sell a 50 million dollar house with the Altman brothers, your children get to work with us," Josh jokingly said during the episode.

Josh went on to say, "Nick Dubrow is coming in as a boy and leaving as a man. Like his bar mitzvah."
