Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson, Kelly Dodd, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson and Shannon Beador are all confirmed to start filming for Season 14 of the Bravo hit, insiders told Page Six on Wednesday. Production is set to begin next week. It’s too soon to tell what will take place this season, but Season 13 was filled with dramatic stories for fans. Gunvalson and Dodd’s friendship fell apart on the show’s last season after Page Six revealed that Gunvalson and her boyfriend, Steve Lodge, helped set up Dodd’s ex-husband Michael with one of their mutual friends. The two are still not getting along, with Dodd recently slamming Gunvalson’s plastic surgery on a photo that Judge posted from Andy Cohen’s baby shower last weekend. Meanwhile, Kirschenheiter, Dodd and Beador all went through divorces last season. While Dodd’s has since been finalized, Beador and Kirschenheiter are still working out the kinks of their separations. Judge struggled with her husband Eddie’s heart issues last season as well, while Simpson explored her family dynamic and possibly having another child.<doc-sep>Tamra Judge and her Real Housewives of Orange County are preparing for the start of filming on the upcoming 14th season of the show. According to a new report, Judge has been expressing her excitement through photos on Instagram in recent weeks. On February 5, All About the Real Housewives promoted a series of photos shared by the longtime reality star, one of which included a caption about "whooping it up" with her co-stars. Days ago, Tamra shared a series of photos of herself getting a facial at Newport Beach Plastic Surgery to Instagram, and said she was "getting ready for season 14" with a trip to her favorite doctor, Dr. Milind Ambe. "Bring on the [cameras]," she added in the caption of her photos. Although Bravo TV has not yet confirmed the upcoming 14th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County, the women of the show -- including Vicki Gunvalson -- have discussed the new episodes on social media on numerous occasions. In addition, Page Six reported at the end of last month that filming was set to begin sometime this week. The outlet also revealed that the entire Season 13 cast of the show -- including Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson, Kelly Dodd, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, and Shannon Beador -- are set to return for The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 14. Last year, at the Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 reunion, Vicki Gunvalson made shocking allegations against her former friend and co-star, Kelly Dodd, that suggested Dodd was a neglectful parent and a drug user. A short time later, Dodd said on Instagram that she would not be returning to the show if Bravo TV included Gunvalson in Season 14. Now, however, after the network reportedly refused to get rid of Gunvalson, both women are set to return to the show. "Vicki is not getting fired and Kelly Dodd is not going to quit," a production insider told Radar Online weeks ago. "Kelly got super upset in the heat of the moment. But the higher-ups are coaxing Kelly into staying because they need the drama for next season." "Kelly and Vicki will hash this out on the upcoming season, or they won't. Either way, neither of the ladies are going anywhere and the claws are going to come out like never before on season 14," the source continued. The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 14 will air on Bravo TV sometime later this year. A premiere date has not yet been set.<doc-sep>
Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson, Kelly Dodd, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson and Shannon Beadorare will be returning for season 14 of the popular series, Page Six confirms. At this point in time, it's too soon to tell if another cast member will join the series or what will take place, however, we're pretty sure Tamra will break another bone, Shannon will lose her cool, and Vicki will whoop it up... or twerk in a bikini! As for Tamra and Shannon's tumultuous relationship, it appears their friendship is on the mend and they're not afraid to show it! In the last few months, the pair has been spending a lot of time together, posting pictures of lunch dates and dinner parties. The trusty trio, Tamra, Shannon and Vicki— who is still dating Steve— have also been bonding, enjoying boozy nights out on the town! Also, while you're here, can we talk about Shannon's impressive weight loss... She seems to be very focused on improving her health after gaining weight following her bitter divorce from David. And you bet she's been making the regular visits to Dr Moon! Seriously though, she looks incredible! Going off previous seasons, it's likely her insecurities around her weight and body image will be a topic of conversation next season. Now to Kelly...It doesn't seem like she has been bonding with any of her castmates and appears to still have it out for Vicki after she accused her of snorting illicit drugs at the reunion. Kelly recently slammed Vicki on Tamra's Instagram, making a comment about her plastic surgery. The jury is still out on why Kelly didn't attend Andy Cohen's very rowdy baby shower which saw all of the housewives gather for a very big night! As for Gina, Emily and Shannon's rocky relationship, well, we'll see how things pan out next season!
