Heather Dubrow invited her "Real Housewives of Orange County" co-stars Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge on the premiere episode of her new podcast, "Heather Dubrow's World," reported People. The ladies discussed the their friendships with castmate Vicki Gunvalson, came to a decision about whether they believed Gunvalson's ex-boyfriend Brooks Ayers had cancer, and addressed rumors that claimed the ladies are refusing to film Season 11 with Gunvalson.
Dubrow, Beador and Judge all agreed that they don't believe Ayers had cancer and said their concern wasn't about Ayers and his lie, but with Gunvalson for perpetuating that lie.
"It was more about Vicki and is Vicki lying to us," explained Judge.
"That's not the issue," agreed Beador. "The issue is when did Vicki know?"
They each gave examples of times where Gunvalson took the lie with Ayers' cancer diagnosis too far, and they all revealed that their relationship with Gunvalson and the "RHOC" brand has been damaged because of it.
"I think that when someone comes into a reality show fabricating their reality, it damages my authenticity and my credibility, and it basically damages the whole concept of reality television," said Beador. "So I have a huge problem returning and filming with someone that is not truthful at all."
"I don't want to be on a show that's nothing less than authentic," agreed Dubrow. "So, as far as I'm concerned, right now I have no interest in filming with her."
