Vicki Gunvalson And Kelly Dodd Reportedly Returning To RHOC For Season 12!

Following the news that Heather Dubrow is not returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County for the show's upcoming 12th season, a new report is claiming that Vicki Gunvalson and Kelly Dodd are returning to the Bravo hit reality show.

“Vicki and Kelly are going to return,” a source told Radar Online. “They are just trying to get more money since they know that they bring the drama and RHOC needs their drama.”

Dodd seems to be working hard for a raise, as she sparked departure rumors when she tweeted that she will “prob not” return to the Bravo show.

The cast shakeup comes after Dubrow announced her departure from the show. “If you’re wondering why I’ve decided to not come back, it wasn’t an easy decision,” she revealed on her PodcastOne show, Heather Dubrow’s World. “You know, it’s hard to walk away from something, first of all, that’s been successful for five years, and truly has given us so much. But I just feel like, right at this particular point in time, a couple of things [changed my mind].”

She continued, “My oldest kids are now teenagers, and I just felt like they need to make their own decision about being on television and exposing their lives, and for me personally, I have some really cool, interesting opportunities that I want to explore. I don’t know where they’re going to go, but I want the opportunity to explore them.”

She added that she will “miss the girls.”
