Real Housewives of Orange County alum Braunwyn Windham-Burke and Sean Burke reacted to reports that they were evicted from their Newport Beach, California, rental shortly after they announced their split.
A rep for the now-estranged couple denied the claims, noting in a statement to Us Weekly, “Sean and Braunwyn were surprised to find out about the unlawful detainer complaint through press, as they were not personally served. After consulting with legal counsel on this matter, they are doing everything they can to resolve it.”
Several outlets reported on Monday, July 12, that the pair were facing a civil lawsuit from the owner of the property regarding $45,000 in unpaid rent. The duo had been leasing the five-bedroom home with their kids — Bella (20), Rowan (18), Jacob (15), twins Curran and Caden (8), Koa (6), and Hazel (3) — since January 2020, but allegedly failed to meet three months of rent.
However, Karen Ogden, the owner of the property, stood her ground about the “horrible situation,” claiming the pair “haven’t been paying for months” and “keep telling us fabrications about their financial situation.” She told Us Weekly, “It’s all very confusing and unclear. … We need the house back.”
Rumors about the family’s living situation emerged not long after Braunwyn told viewers in an Instagram Live that she would be moving to Hawaii for the summer as she and Sean officially separate.
“We are packing up this house, the one we filmed in last year, and we are moving,” the mother-of-seven said on Monday. “We have decided jointly that we are going to take a few months apart.”
Sean, who plans on “moving into a furnished rental,” added, “We’re going to see what that’s like, living apart for a little while.”
