'RHOC' Star Braunwyn Windham-Burke Teases Season 15, Calls Vicki Gunvalson Inauthentic

Production on most shows has come to a halt, and Season 15 of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Orange County" is on that list.

Despite the fact that filming has been temporarily cut short, enough happened so far that Braunwyn Windham-Burke was able to dish about the upcoming season on Danny Pellegrino's "Everything Iconic" podcast.

"Some of the things that we're doing this season are by far some of the most real and impactful storylines I've ever seen on a 'Real Housewives' show," she claimed.

"RHOC" Season 15 will premiere without two of the show's most veteran stars, Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge -- a drastic change from what fans have seen. However, Braunwyn revealed that their departure was in the best interest of the franchise.

"Obviously, everyone knows Vicki never liked me, we didn’t get along," the mother of seven said. "I think Vicki tried really hard last year to stay relevant and in doing so, she brought an inauthenticity to the whole show that was hard to get around. It was all just her trying to create drama where there wasn’t any."

Braunwyn added that with Vicki gone, she was able to bond more with the other cast members.

"[The new cast] was able to connect on a much more real and personable and human level [without Vicki]," she explained. "My relationships with these women in the past month are so much deeper than they were all of last season combined."

Although the Season 15 cast has yet to be confirmed, it's assumed that Kelly Dodd, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, and Shannon Beador all returned alongside Braunwyn Windham-Burke. That leaves two open slots for some either a newbie or a blast from the past to step in.

At the moment, rumors are leaning towards introducing brand new faces to "RHOC" fans, but as always, only time will tell.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" Season 15 is expected to air on Bravo later this year.
