About The Real Housewives of Orange County:
Following a very difficult year, Shannon Storms Beador is doing her best to move forward as she faces the consequences from her DUI. With her twins in college, this empty-nester is left trying to mend her fractured friendships.

Always on the move, Heather Dubrow and husband Terry find themselves routinely commuting between Orange County and their new estate in Beverly Hills. After many years of friendship, Heather and Gina find themselves at odds over loyalty and betrayal.

No longer a Tres Amiga, Tamra Judge is putting her energy into developing stronger friendships and helping her daughter Sophia, who recently turned 18, navigate her gap year. Tamra’s damaged friendship with Shannon is hotly contested as she wonders if Shannon is truly remorseful for her accident.

Gina Kirschenheiter has leveled up as a realtor, but her professional reputation is called into question after one of the ladies puts her in a sticky situation. Her relationship with Travis takes an unconventional turn when deciding she wants to live separately, but stay together. On top of this, as Gina watches bestie Emily get close to Tamra, she wonders if their friendship will remain the same.

Emily Simpson has gone through an incredible transformation after losing 40 pounds and finds herself trying to adjust to her new healthy lifestyle. When she’s not helping the wrongly convicted as a part of the California Innocence Project, she’s questioning the ladies on everything from integrity to intentions.

Jennifer Pedranti is ready for a fresh start with Tamra while also trying to prove that her boyfriend, Ryan, is worthy of redemption. While some of the ladies in the group wonder if she has truly learned from her past mistakes, Jennifer finds some commonality with new housewife Katie. New to Orange County, Katie Ginella and her husband, professional golf journalist Matt Ginella, recently moved from San Diego.

Now ready to learn more about her Korean heritage and connect to her roots, Katie decides to explore her adoption further and meet her birth mother. A longtime friend of Heather and Emily, Alexis Bellino comes in full force ready to make waves. She finds her footing with most of the ladies and starts fresh with Tamra, but she instantly finds herself on shaky ground with Shannon as they face off in a series of high-stakes disputes.

Does anyone else not think.. that having Alexis on as a "friend" was so fucked up just to get a story line and torture Shannon for a season. Seriously bravo that's low ...

[amandaclarke]

God Tamara has no redeeming qualities at ALL.

[jv-zvmv]

okay. i love that emily, gina and shannon are talking so positively of each other.

[debbyvibbert]

From what Shannon mentioned the fact John turned down lump sum payment instead demand a payment plan like he's a loan shark keeping control of Shannon until paid off. Alexis pay attention this could be your future. Who unless in a abusive relationship physically why keep video unless planned to blackmail.

[robynkoltiska]

Tamara has got to go and she needs to take her new bf Alexes with her. Here is their hats don’t let the door hit you.

[mattheww]

“She was horrible to Jenn” is Tamra talking about herself?

[robinmorelli]

Tamara, on one hand, says how bad social media is to her daughter, but on the other hand, she tells everyone to go to social media to plug her daughters 😂

[jandawald]

I wonder why Alexis is getting so involved in the drama between John and Shannon. Whatever happened between them is between them. If I was dating someone that was having problems with their ex girlfriend, I would encourage closure and not want to invest any of my energy into fighting and lawsuits with my new boyfriends ex. Just sayin

[ThatPrettyMess]

Shannon breaking down was heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹 i definitely felt for her .. u got this shannon 🌪️

[havinfun]

If you loan someone money without a written contract, be prepared to eat the loss. Period.

[veroniquetyszko]

Twisted and rich. John is trying to hijack the season. It's becoming exhautive.

[cheriemaneshi]

Tamara needs a new mirror to communicate with because the one she has is lying to her about her true nature .

[operamom]

Shannon know your Take time find yourself

[justinjuerakhan]

Shannon needs all the support she could get, if not she needs to rely on herself from monster John!!!!

[Jenesaisquoi]

What kind of a man says “we’re done with her…?” No MAN ever - that statement makes it all clear …. Bravo open your eyes 👀. What staff member has said that to their wife - NONE ever - men say … oh forget about it and move on UNLESS they’re thirsty.

[Beautifulme]

At some point Shannon is going to have to stand up for herself

[AleeSteezy]

Tamra is just as toxic like the drama in New Jersey!

[microblue]

This overwhelmingly ugly show of lack is making Shannon show up for herself. And she looks good.

[laurac]

I think john is an abuser and shannon has been hiding it. Ive been in abusive relationshup and the fallout looks exavtly similar

[Brittzlynn]

Its crazy to me that they got rid of Vicki but kept Tamara. Vicki is an OG. She is OC HOUSEWIVES. At least Vicki brought the drama but also brought the fun too.... Tamara just brings drama but its more than that, she gets really dirty and mean. Since she was 1st on the show shes always flip flopped on friends and turned on her closest friends and sided with their enemies.
