Updated on Nov. 10, 2026 in Sex Life
Alexis Bellino called Heather Dubrow insecure on the November 6 episode of Reality With the King, hosted by Carlos King. The discussion followed Dubrow's remarks to Gina Kirschenheiter during part one of the Real Housewives of Orange County season 20 reunion.
Why it matters
The exchange highlights ongoing tensions within the cast and how reunion remarks continue to be debated after the cameras stop. Bellino and King framed Dubrow's comments as classism and self-projection, adding a new layer to the on-air conflict.
Dubrow used Carmella Garcia as her realtor instead of Kirschenheiter, a detail Carlos King cited as evidence of her reluctance to help. Part two of the season 20 reunion airs Thursday, November 12, at 8/7c on Bravo.
