The Real Housewives of Orange County

Gina Kirschenheiter has had a very, very difficult week.

In court, her ex-husband Matt apologized for assaulting, falsely imprisoning, and threatening her.

This week, Matt Kirschenheiter agreed to plead guilty in his domestic assault case.

Gina, his victim in the case, waited nearly two years for this moment.

Following nearly two years of ugly drama, Gina Kirschenheiter has finally received an apology from her ex-husband, Matt.

The only question now is whether or not this same ex-husband will receive jail time for his past behavior.

Early last December, Braunwyn Windham-Burke came out as a lesbian.

She was sober, living as her authentic self, and she made Real Housewives history to boot.

From tragedy to triumph.

Kara Keough Bosworth and her husband, Kyle Bosworth, announced the arrival of a son named Vaughn Mack Bosworth on Saturday, just under a week after breaking the news that they were expecting.

Season 15 of The Real Housewives of Orange County had catastrophic ratings and was frankly a little boring.

Though most blame the pandemic, some questioned whether Vicki Gunvalson needed to return.

It is March and The Real Housewives of Orange County fans still don't know who's returning and who's fired.

One fan decided to go straight to the source -- by asking one of the stars.

Last month, David Beador and Lesley Ann Cook welcomed their first child together.

Weeks later, she is taking to Instagram to call out David's ex for turning their news into a story.

Serious changes are coming to The Real Housewives of Orange County in 2021. This much is a certainty.

But which cast member is coming? Which long-time star is going? Whose status is very much up in the air?

Okay, look.

This much we can say for certain:

An unconfirmed but very believable report claimed that Bravo was shaking up the RHOC cast.

The most obvious alleged decision was that Kelly Dodd would be fired.

What appeared to be overwhelmingly joyous news came to The Real Housewives of Orange County fans this week.

A very believable report announced that Bravo was cleaning house in a major RHOC casting shakeup.

The expectations of a major casting shakeup for The Real Housewives of Orange County can barely be called "rumors."

The calls for it are almost universal, on Twitter and from Andy Cohen himself.

In July of last year, David Beador and Lesley Ann Cook announced that they were expecting their first child together.

Both were already parents from previous relationships, and three months later, the two were married.

Real Housewives of Orange County star Kelly Dodd's ill will tour of bad behavior in 2020 has tarnished her image forever.

She does not like wearing masks, she does not like being called out for racism, and will flip out if anyone tries to talk to her about it.

As the age-old saying goes, all good things must come to an end.

On a similar note, the reality television shows - and the careers of all elitists and racists who star on them - also should come to an end.

Vicki Gunvalson will always be the one, true OG of the OC. Well, she will in our hearts.

She is no longer on The Real Housewives of Orange County. For better or for worse.

On next week's Real Housewives of Orange County reunion special, Kelly Dodd will once again say something silly and ignorant.

And, let's face it, downright cruel.
