The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans are discussing a potential cast member switch after Heather Dubrow and her husband Terry Dubrow recently sold their mega-mansion in Orange County and purchased a penthouse in Los Angeles. Heather joined The Real Housewives of Orange County season 7 in 2012, left after season 11, and then rejoined the cast for season 16 in 2021. Her love for extravagance and exquisite items earned her the nickname “Fancy Pants,” and viewers were able to witness the beginning stages of the construction of “Château Dubrow,” their 22,000 sq foot mansion that was recently sold for an eye-watering $55 million.

Now that the Dubrow family has sold their OC home, a Reddit thread started by u/superficialwishes has Housewives fans discussing her potential addition to the RHOBH cast. Some feel that Heather would be a “fun” villain for RHOBH because “she’s never too dark or problematic, she’s just an a**hole.” After a tumultuous season 12, RHOBH could do with some lighter, even petty, problems and arguments that are more on par with what viewers expect from a Housewives show. Reddit user u/queermyvibe also supports the possibility of Heather joining RHOBH, saying, “Omg my theory that she’s gunning for an RHOBH spot is gaining validity.”

Heather Dubrow Could Be The Second-Ever Crossover Housewife

Taylor Armstrong recently became the first Housewife to switch franchises when she left RHOBH to join RHOC. Going the opposite route, Heather could swap the OC for Beverly Hills and join RHOBH stars like Kyle Richards, Sutton Stracke, and Garcelle Beauvais. Redditor u/stocar commented, “I hope she moves to BH! She’s too lavish and bougie for the OC team.” Others agreed that her extreme wealth would make her a perfect fit with the other women of RHOBH, many of whom boast incredibly huge net worths.

Throughout the last few months, Heather and Terry have faced rumors of Terry’s infidelity, and some Redditors are speculating that their penthouse purchase and sale of “Château Dubrow” indicates that they may be separating. u/gammagirl admitted that she’s “not sure if they’re permanently moving, splitting up or are going to build another Grand Hyatt.” Nevertheless, the couple has firmly denied the affair gossip and stated that there is no truth to it.

Selling their Orange County house and purchasing an LA penthouse means that Heather and Terry will be relocating closer to Beverly Hills, at least for now. Heather is known for her penchant for designing houses and then moving after a few years, so her move out of Orange County could be strictly temporary. However, that doesn’t stop the Real Housewives Universe from speculating about her possible addition to the cast of RHOBH.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills seasons 1-12 are available on Peacock.
