RHOC Fans Outraged as Heather Dubrow Faces Backlash for Betraying Shannon Beador

Heather Dubrow has been one of Shannon Beador’s most loyal supporters throughout The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18. However, in one of the season’s most shocking twists, that loyalty took a drastic turn when Heather began questioning whether Shannon was using her to tarnish John Janssen’s reputation.

Rather than addressing her concerns privately with Shannon, Heather teamed up with Tamra Judge, and the two confronted Shannon while in London. While Tamra turning on Shannon isn’t exactly surprising, Heather’s sudden shift came out of nowhere, especially given their long history together.

Though they’ve had their ups and downs, Heather had been a strong pillar of support for Shannon, particularly after her DUI and the legal troubles involving John. This unexpected betrayal left fans stunned, and many were quick to criticize Heather for her actions during the explosive episode.

Heather Faces Backlash from Fans

“Heather is out of order,” one viewer expressed, pointing out that she wasn’t being “used” by Shannon and shouldn’t have confronted her so publicly. “She shouldn’t do this at the table,” the fan added, emphasizing that Heather’s actions crossed a line.

Heather is out of order!

Heather is known for having high expectations of her friends, and it’s clear she wouldn’t tolerate anyone calling her out in such a public setting. One fan echoed this sentiment, saying, “She has rules for others that she doesn’t have to follow.” They went on to say, “It’s grown thin,” implying that Heather’s double standards have become tiresome.

Another fan humorously used a reference from Mob Wives to express their frustration: “Heather Dubrow… girl, when I catch you,” they wrote. “Never one to be trusted.”

Heather Dubrow Labeled a ‘Snake’

Some critics didn’t hold back, with one calling Heather a “snake” and comparing her to villains from other Bravo shows. “Oh Heather, you really are a snake,” another viewer wrote, referencing her cold, calculated behavior in this latest confrontation.

Many viewers also called out both Heather and Tamra for their actions toward Shannon. “They’ve been so nasty with Shannon at the table,” one fan commented, suggesting that the duo’s behavior felt more like a sport to them. “It was out of order and nasty,” the post continued, criticizing the two women for seemingly ganging up on Shannon for no real reason.

Heather and Tamra have been so nasty with Shannon at this table. It really felt like they did that for sport, just because they could. It was out of order, and nasty.

And I LOVE me some Heather. I know she has a mean streak, but she hasn’t been that nasty in a minute. #RHOC pic.twitter.com/YlSq9kSdsd

Despite the backlash, Heather still has a strong fan base, as evidenced by the overwhelming support she received when she returned to the show after her initial exit. However, many fans now feel she’s aligning herself with the wrong side in this latest battle.

With the season nearing its end, there’s a possibility that Heather could switch allegiances once more and return to Team Shannon before the reunion. Alliances have been shifting rapidly throughout Season 18, so viewers can expect more twists and turns in the episodes to come.
