Later in the season of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Heather Dubrow accuses Noella Bergener of giving her daughter Max pornography.

The trailer teases the heated moment but what really happened? Bergener and Max shared a sweet moment when Bergener shared with Max that she too is bi-sexual. Before the new season aired, Max shared that she is bi-sexual and even wrote a book, “I’ll Give it to You Straight-ish.”

So did Bergener actually give pornography as a gift to Dubrow’s daughter? While Bergener wouldn’t spill exactly what happened, she did make it seem as though more came into play, accusing Dubrow of twisting the description for drama.

Did Noella Bergener give Max Dubrow porn on ‘RHOC’?

Bergener said RHOC fans will have to wait to see what exactly she gave to Max but said using the word “porn” may not have been totally accurate. “It’s a big moment, so I don’t want to tease the spoiler as they say,” she told People TV. “So you’re going to have to wait to see exactly what that’s about. But let’s just say the wrong words were used.”

“I think, somewhat intentionally to be salacious and to be dramatic and to really try and shame me,” she continued. “Which is never really cool in my book. Just use the right words and we can have an adult conversation. If I genuinely had concern that somebody was doing something sexually inappropriate to my child, I would call them immediately and be like, What the heck is this?”

She added, “I wouldn’t wait 10 days. Tell everybody else behind your back. Again, you have to watch it play out, I’m totally spoiling this one. But it’s not what it is. And she’s a smart girl. She knew what she was doing there. So you’re just going to have to see how I handle that.”

Heather Dubrow and Noella Bergener’s friendship crumbled before the ‘porn’ accusation

Dubrow and Bergener’s friendship was already on the rocks before Dubrow said Bergener gave her daughter porn. Bergener referred to Dubrow as a narcissist when she visited Dubrow’s home and saw her podcast room. “I had my suspicions before but this is pretty concrete evidence,” Bergener said in a confessional during a recent episode of RHOC. “This is a shrine to a complete and really, really good narcissist. This is thorough. If I wasn’t so creeped out, I’d be impressed.”

Bergener and Dubrow couldn’t see eye to eye during their discussion but Dubrow told Bergener she had a lot going on and they should just be social friends. Bergener had just been served with divorce papers and was unable to locate her husband until recently.

Upon seeing the footage from the show Dubrow shared on Instagram a text exchange she had with Bergener. She captioned the exchange, “When you thank her for coming to your house to clear the air and move forward because you’re working all weekend, and she comes over and pretends not to know and trashes your business and your character. Well, all of this and more at the reunion!”

RHOC alum Tamra Judge weighed in, sharing that starting a fight with Dubrow won’t end well for Bergener. “NOT COOL AT ALL! I’ve worked with housewives like that before & it sucks! But don’t worry they don’t last long,” she wrote. Adding, “Loved to know who you ‘slammed’. Cuz that’s so your style.”

She fires back at Heather Dubrow and promises more for the reunion

Bergener responded to Dubrow’s Instagram post with her own message, which she shared in her Instagram stories. “A good host knows their schedule. I was left waiting in my car in her driveway for 45 minutes.”

“When I asked to use the bathroom I had to wait 15 minutes for permission then return back to my car. When I finally was allowed to come inside I walk into an infomercial,” she continued. “This was a Saturday with my kids. I showed up when I was told to. My time was not respected and plugging products was clearly more important than making me feel welcome.”
