RHOC Newbie Elizabeth Lyn Vargas Is Reportedly ‘Struggling’ To Get Along With Her Co-Stars!

According to a new report, Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, who's joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County, is having a ‘challenging’ time while filming the new season of the Bravo hit reality series.

The “really feisty” businesswoman is “still getting her groove” while filming Season 15 of RHOC.

“She was brought into the group by Kelly and they have fun together,” an insider told HollywoodLife. “It’s been challenging for her to connect with a lot of the other women though. They didn’t know her before and she hasn’t exactly been fitting in very easily. She’s pretty vocal and seems to still be getting her groove, but she hasn’t started off on the best of footing with the other women.”

Vargas reportedly used to live near Kelly. She’s the CEO and founder of Edge Music Network. Last week, Elizabeth confirmed that she’s officially divorced from her ex-husband Bernt Bodal. “Well today is a very exciting day – um, I’ve officially signed my divorce papers last night,” she confirmed the news in a series of video clips via her Instagram Stories. “So I’m very excited, I’m – I’m walking my ten miles – training for L.A. Marathon 2021.”

“You know, I don’t know how I’m feeling today. I’m excited but I’m sad and I – it’s the end of an era – I was with the guy for 20 years. 17 years but divorcing for 3. 20 years total of my life and I’m happy but it’s a failure and I’m learning to cope with it just like Edge Music was a failure.”

“It’s not quite a failure yet but it’s on its way. I’m gonna pivot my life to a new direction to generate revenue – you know from things that I acquired – I can repurpose and you know,” she continued. “I paid an arm and a leg to get divorced and to get what I thought I needed and um, I go I – here we are – transitioning to a new phase in my life and I’m excited.”

She concluded by saying, “Peace, love, and happiness, I am officially divorced.”

The news comes after the former couple sold their La Quinta, California property for $8.5 million. Elizabeth’s ex, Bernt Bodal, is a partner in Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp and former CEO of America Seafoods who appeared on “Undercover Boss” in 2012.

Elizabeth is set to appear on Season 15 of RHOC as a full-time cast member along with returning cast members, Braunwyn Windham-Burke, Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter, Kelly Dodd, and Shannon Beador.
