Noella Bergener has officially nosedived into The Real Housewives of Orange County. In the season 16 trailer, she faces off with Heather Dubrow, who claims Noella gave her 18-year-old daughter pornography.
After Heather drops the bomb, the trailer cuts to Noella’s reaction. Little is known about the type of ‘porn’ Noella allegedly gave, and the details may stay hidden until the episode airs.
In an interview with Screen Rant, Noella shared her feelings about the accusation. “You can see it on my face,” she explained. “I was shocked. I was shocked that those words were put together.” After laughing at the topic, Noella said, “Oh gosh, how do I address this one? Let’s just say you see it all. You see the play by play. Has it been resolved, no. Get the popcorn.”
In August, TMZ reported that her husband James, a personal injury lawyer, filed for divorce (while Noella was “blindsided”). Known by the nickname “Sweet James,” the attorney is showcased on billboards around the city.
In the interview, Noella discussed her marriage woes, saying, “The one thing I couldn’t plan for. I came in with a bucket list of things to do. I didn’t do any of those things. My happy marriage is gone, the journey, my family, and all the pretty polished things did not make it because they evaporated right before my very eyes as soon as the cameras came around.”
According to Noella, the most remarkable part about RHOC is its realness, and viewers will witness the end of her marriage on the show. (However, this is hardly the first time Bravo captured a divorce. Both Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson were happily married to their husbands before they ushered in the cameras.)
Noella’s tiff with Heather is her first taste of reality TV. But longtime castmates are good at playing the game, sprinkling accusations like confetti.
