A few days ago Heather Dubrow shocked fans when she announced that she was quitting The Real Housewives of Orange County after five seasons to focus on family and other business ventures. However, according to a new report, the reason why the mother-of-four walked away from the Bravo hit reality series was to save her marriage to Terry.
“After Heather’s marriage became a central focus last season on the show, it really caused issues with her and Terry,” a source told Radar Online.
The couple have been married since 1999 and have four young children, Katarina, 9, Collette, 6, and twins Nicholas and Maximillia, 12. But it all seemed on the line when they started getting into explosive arguments on-camera last season.
In one of their arguments, Heather even broke down in tears and admitted that Botched star Terry was never home because of work!
“They both decided that that she should just quit RHOC since they both have several other successful projects and do not need the money,” an insider trevealed. “The last thing that either of them want is to end up in a divorce because they became reality TV stars.”
On Friday, Heather released a statement of her departure to Bravo. "After a lot of careful thought and deliberation, I have decided not to return to RHOC this season. These past 5 years have been an incredible journey and I'm so proud to have been a part of such an iconic piece of pop culture," Heather said in an exclusive statement to The Daily Dish. "I am so grateful to Evolution Media, Bravo and the whole NBCU family for all of the incredible experiences and the opportunities RHOC has afforded me and my family. However, at this point in my life, I have decided to go in another direction and do what’s best for my family and career. Should I change my mind, I thank Andy Cohen, Evolution and Bravo for telling me that the door is always open."
However, a recent report claimed the real reason why the actress quit the series was due to being demoted from main housewife to a friend.
“Heather was offered a friend role for this season,” a source revealed to The Dirty. “However, she decided not to take it.”
As to why she was offered a friend role, an insider claimed that “Production was bored with her storyline. It’s been about her house and wealth for years, and they didn’t feel there was enough substance for her to return again as a full time Housewife.”
“Heather turned down the friend role and thus left,” claimed the source.
