On The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 15, Braunwyn Windham-Burke introduced Noella Bergener as “the life of the party” who “doesn’t hold anything back” and is “unapologetically herself.”
For several months after that, the women appeared to be inseparable, posting social media photos of themselves vacationing together in Puerto Rico, attending social justice rallies, and even referring to each other as soulmates in their respective captions. However, after Bravo announced that Noella would be joining RHOC Season 16 — and firing Braunwyn — the friendship deteriorated.”
It was a bad breakup, but I wish her and her family well,” Noella said in August in response to a fan’s Instagram comment about the status of their friendship. The RHOC newcomer also responded to fan comments a month earlier, implying that the feud was caused by jealousy over her casting and “lost trust.” “It was a great friendship until it wasn’t,” Noella wrote, hinting that the issue would be addressed further on RHOC. “I’ve wanted to call her so many times since our bad breakup, but you can’t have anything without trust.”

Noella’s world will be “turned upside down” in Season 16 after her husband unexpectedly files for divorce, threatening her financial future, according to her Bravo bio. She’ll find solace in Shannon Storms Beador’s friendship, but she’ll clash with some of the other women. In the Season 16 trailer, she refers to fellow RHOC newcomer Dr. Jen Armstrong as her “polar opposite,” to which Jen agrees that they only have one thing in common: they both breathe oxygen. In other news, Heather Dubrow, a returning cast member, accuses Noella of giving her 18-year-old daughter Max “pornography” as a gift.
