Report: Noella Bergener Rushes To Court After Being Hit With $450K Judgment, Blames Her Ex-Husband For Delay!

According to court records obtained by Radar Online, Noella Bergener is fighting the $450,000 judgment entered against in the lawsuit brought by a debt collection company, Creditor’s Adjustment Bureau.

The court documents revealed the Real Housewives of Orange County star hired the law firm Fried and Goldsman to help her handle a 2014 paternity battle with the father of her daughter. The court battle lasted for years, and the Bravo reality star racked up quite the bill.

After the case was settled, the firm said Noella failed to pay them a total of $293,000. The lawsuit demanded the entire unpaid balance plus $116,000 in interest and an additional $5,000 in other fees.

Sources close to the reality star told the outlet she believed her first baby daddy was responsible for the bill per their divorce settlement. An insider close to her said she felt the suit was “unfounded.”

Creditor’s Adjustment said they served an individual at Bergener’s home in Orange County. However, in her new filing, she said that never happened and she wasn’t aware of the lawsuit.

As for the reason? Noella said her ex-husband James abruptly moved out of their family home and filed for divorce in July 2021. She said he then moved to Puerto Rico. She said the process server said they served a 38-year-old white woman with a height of 5’11. She said that doesn’t match the description of anyone who lives at her home.

Further, she said James “engaged in mail forwarding services to divert some of the mail from the Residence to James’ office or some other residential address for James,” the court docs read via Radar Online.

The outlet adds that Noella is demanding the judgment be thrown out and for the court to allow her time to respond to the original complaint.
