Heather Dubrow feeling cheated by him Carmella Garcia after establishing a semblance of friendship with the Real Housewives of Orange County Newbie among filming season 20.
While she also shares which member she talks to the most and admits she doesn’t date him Emily Simpson50, Heather opened up about her apparent falling out with Carmella, 44, as Carmella revealed the kind of thing Heather did to one of her off-screen children.
“I only hear from [Tamra Judge] and [Gina Kirschenheiter] … I haven’t heard from [Carmella]. I saw her at the first party. We haven’t spoken since,” Heather, 57, said in the October 29 episode of the series RHOC: After the show.
After admitting she was “too sensitive,” Heather said she “felt like that [she and] Carmella was creating a deeper friendship. “
“I was really excited about it,” she said. “After Japan, [I] not heard from her. I don’t know if I had the responsibility to go out to her, but we had texted, I think, the day before. So, I was surprised, and maybe that’s, like, I don’t know, selfish of me to think that she would text me.”
After skipping the casting trip to Tokyo due to diabetes struggles, Carmella, who is often based in San Diego, admitted she felt embarrassed among the women and said Heather, who lives in Los Angeles, was “so far” from her.
“I know everyone is so busy. I thought we were good. I thought things were good,” Carmella continued.
She then said that Heather sent treats to her children for Easter.
“She did, which was very kind,” Carmella said. “Like, my son has a severe egg allergy, and he’s never had a donut in his life, and she has a friend who owns an allergy-friendly bakery, and she literally Ubered baked goods down for my son, which meant a lot to me. And she said, ‘This is absolutely nothing to do with a show.’ I feel like it was a very generous, kind thing, and it meant a lot to me.”
Looking back on their dynamic season 20, Heather said she felt like she was “making an effort” with Carmella.
“I feel that I have made an effort to keep our friendship going, but I feel a bit of a ghost with her, and then when I hear [Tamra’s] talking to her, and she went out to lunch with these two, or she went out to dinner with those two, I’m like, ‘Okay.’ But you know what? I’m at the point where I’m like, ‘If you want to be friends, I like you. We’ll talk it out, but I don’t want to be the one who always has to reach out and make the plans,’” she said.
Also on the After Revelationafter Heather revealed that she’s closer to “Tamra,” and admitted that she and Emily “haven’t talked,” Tamra said she’s closest to Heather.
“We talk the most. I talk to Carmella. She reaches out once in a while,” Tamra said.
The Real Housewives of Orange County the season 20 reunion begins next Thursday, November 5, at 8/7c on Bravo.
