Lydia McLaughlin Dishes On RHOC Season 12: “It’s A Wild Ride!”

Lydia McLaughlin is spilling the tea on Season 12 of The Real Housewives of Orange County. McLaughlin who launched Nobleman magazine with her husband Doug last fall — is teasing fans what they can expect from new season of the Bravo hit reality series.

“The first time I could play dumb and say I didn’t know what to expect,” she told Us Weekly. “But this time I knew what it was like, and I still went for it. I’d describe this season as, ‘I’ve lost my mind.’ It’s a wild ride!”

The antics are shocking, insists McLaughlin. “I would come home after filming and say to my husband, ’Today was the craziest day ever! I can’t believe any of this happened!’”

That includes conflicts with co-stars Tamra Judge and ­Shannon Beador. “You’ll see a lot of shifting of friendships,” she adds. “Tamra and I had a bond, but I don’t get along with her best friend Shannon. I wear all my emotions on my face and I don’t think before I speak, so you’ll see exactly how I react!”

“There are some huge personalities,” McLaughlin added. “Everyone’s lives are so full of drama, but also entertaining enterprises. Personalities clash, people are forgiven and then they’re not. There are ambulance rides in the middle of the night, surgery and also so much fun. There is a lot of laughter and a lot of tears. I think this is going to be the best season yet.”
