It’s been a busy year for Mercedes “MJ” Javid. She’s navigating a divorce and keeping her real estate business afloat, all while preparing for the launch of her new show, The Valley: Persian Style. Somehow, in between all of that, she’s also found the time to keep up with the latest Real Housewives of Orange County casting rumors, and she just made a huge claim about the Season 20 cast.
MJ claims Heather Dubrow is leaving Real Housewives of Orange County

MJ and Reza Farahan appeared on the December 29 edition of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live. During the episode, the trio of shady Bravolebrities waded into the latest RHOC casting news. Specifically, they were talking about a rumor that Crystal Kung Minkoff started on her podcast. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum claimed that Vicki Gunvalson’s return to RHOC would coincide with someone else’s exit.
“Vicki got her orange. I have the tea: I know she took someone else’s orange,” Crystal claimed a few weeks ago.
On Jeff Lewis Live, MJ weighed in. She claimed that the person Crystal was talking about was Heather Dubrow.
“It came out that the person that Crystal was talking about that’s leaving Orange County is Heather Dubrow,” MJ claimed.
“I wonder if she’s leaving by choice,” Jeff wondered.
Meanwhile, Reza jumped in and suggested that this might finally pave the way for Heather to join the cast of RHOBH, a rumor that has long been floating around the Bravoverse.
“But I heard she’s also potentially joining the Beverly Hills cast,” Reza confidently added.
Of course, there’s been zero confirmation of any of this. This is all just chatter and speculation. For now, the only Housewife Bravo has confirmed for RHOC Season 20 is Vicki. We’ll get more casting news in the new year, and we can guarantee that it won’t come from MJ.
The Real Housewives of Orange County is streaming on Peacock.
