After four seasons and a couple of season 5 appearances, Jeana Keough is bidding farewell to The Real Housewives of Orange County tonight in the episode fittingly titled "It Ends in Coto De Caza."

And as a result, Jeana has decided to leave all the reality TV drama behind to focus on her family and make ends meet.

The Real Housewives of Orange County: Lauri Waring Suing Ex-Husband

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 25 May 2009 06:00:00 GMT

Another celebrity couple's divorce drama is about to get a lot more messy. Lauri Warning, former cast member of The Real Housewives of Orange County, is suing ex-husband, Philip Waring. The multiple-divorced single mother is reportedly demanding more support from Phillip, specifically $12,000 per month to supplement her income.

Lauri claims that Philip earns $360,000 per year and that she is only earning $400 per month. The reason behind Lauri's demand for more cash seems unclear, considering that she's remarried to an even wealthier man---unless this means that Lauri is no longer with new husband George Peterson? Or maybe she's just trying to gain additional financial support to help her son, Josh, who was charged with two felony counts of possession and intent to sell heroin and ecstasy and was sentenced to jail.

Earlier this week, Gretchen told the press about the squabble that arose between her and Tamra. This occurred while filming, and the new housewife accused the other of being insensitive.

'The Real Housewives of Orange County' Get to Know Newcomer Gretchen

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 08:00:23 GMT

The fourth season premiere of The Real Housewives of Orange County brought back Bravo's most fabulous ladies for another run, but with a new wife in tow: Gretchen. For the first episode, we get to see what the women are up to these days and how far they've gone in their lives. Also, we're introduced to this possible alien threat with blonde locks and diamond rings.

Maintaining that looks don't make a woman, Gretchen Rossi says she's far from the high maintenance lady she appears to be. She claims that she's pretty down-to-earth, except that she had the luck to snag herself a millionaire for a fiancé. She's already begun stirring up the atmosphere, trying to prove that she's not like the others. Probably because she's busy picking out $65,000, four carat diamond rings.
