On The Real Housewives of Orange County, newcomer Noella Bergener has been in the middle of many conflicts during season 16, and former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville thinks Noella is acting fake. Noella entered RHOBH season 16 by picking a fight right with fellow newbie Dr. Jennifer Armstrong. On the show, Noella called Jennifer “thirsty” because  Jennifer tagged Noella in an Instagram picture to promote her business. Fans thought Noella was just trying to create drama for no reason, as this happened before RHOC even aired.

Noella gave fans more to talk about when her very messy divorce with her husband “Sweet James” Bergener started happening during the early stages of filming RHOC. Viewers watched it all play out as Noella shared how RHOC's James left their house without giving her a clue as to where he was staying. Soon afterward, she told the cameras that James served her with divorce papers in the guise of sending her flowers. Fans watched Noella break down several times on RHOC, once during lunch with “friend of” Nicole James. Another time, she got upset in a sweat lodge in Mexico.

Noella’s life seemed to be right out of a soap opera and Brandi thought it was a little too unrealistic to believe. Brandi, who was a guest on RHOC’s Tamra Judge and RHOBH Teddi Mellencamp’s podcast Two Ts in a Pod, shared, “I just feel like it’s just too much, too soon, honestly. I think she’s beautiful and everything, but we just started the season, she’s already breaking down in a restaurant and refusing to get out of the restaurant and making a scene. I’m like it just seems phony. Too soon!” Teddi suggested that RHOC's Noella’s divorce happened a long time ago, before she filmed RHOC, and claimed that Noella wanted to share it as a big storyline for season 16.

Heather and Noella on RHOC

Tamra shared that she thought Noella wanted to be a housewife for a long time. Noella was friends with former RHOC star Braunwyn Windham-Burke. Fans saw a glimpse of Noella on RHOC when Braunwyn introduced her as a close friend and “soul mate.” After Braunwyn was let go from the franchise and Noella seemingly replaced her, the two housewives had a falling out and are no longer friends. Fans called Noella out for being “thirsty” and using Braunwyn to get a spot on RHOC. Tamra revealed that Noella was also friends with former RHOC OG Vicki Gunvalson before being cast as a housewife.

Noella is getting quite a mixed reaction from fans and her RHOC castmates. Besides her minor feud with Jennifer, Noella went for RHOC star Heather Dubrow. Although Heather welcomed Noella with open arms, Noella kept talking about Heather behind her back, and called her “fake” on the show. Things got hairy between them when Noella gifted Heather’s underage daughter a raunchy card game. Instead of listening to how Heather felt, Noella seemed to just want to fight with her, and tried to call Heather out on her “straight fragility.” Fans think that Noella is trying to maintain her spot on The Real Housewives of Orange County, but according to Tamra, Noella may not be around for too long.
