Real Housewives of Orange County star Heather Dubrow is opening up about her hesitation on joining Bravo’s hit show with her husband Terry Dubrow encouraging her.
Heather Dubrow stopped by The Glamour and Grit Podcast and opened up how she came about joining the show explaining, “My husband was really into the reality stuff and understood the power of the platform. And my girlfriends and I were pitching a show about opening a restaurant and within those meetings, became acquainted with the people that did Real Housewives”
Heather says she was asked to be on the show and was not into it at all saying, “you know, that sounds like a disaster, that will be the last nail in the coffin that was my career.’ I didn’t understand, really, that the landscape of television had completely changed. And also, I still had young kids, was I really going to be on a set for 17 hours a day? For me personally, not judging anyone else, but no, not at that time. So it just ended up being a thing. My husband signed the contracts for me to be on the show and we fought about it.”
She then spoke on coming to terms with it with Terry encouraging her to watch a scene to familiarize herself. The scene that she watched was from Tamra Judge throwing wine on another woman which made her laugh.
She says, “Terry comes back in the room and he’s like, ‘Oh my god why are you laughing? I thought you’d be running, screaming from the room,’ and I go, ‘No I get it, it’s like a Christopher Guest movie it’s satire, I can do that.”
Heather Dubrow says she is grateful for the platform and for what the show has done for her family.
