Apparently, the reason behind her exit would be a tiff with the creators. It was also reported that Dubrow’s husband Terry’s lawsuit made her quit the show. However, this part was cleared at the beginning of Season 16, and this cannot be the reason.The current speculation is that James had a problem filming with Bergener, and thus, the producers had to let her go. Although there has been no official statement/announcement regarding James’ exit, fans are quite happy to see her leave RHOC.James has been portrayed as disloyal, rude, and a person with no empathy in the latest season. She appeared as one of the friends of Dubrow and became the cause of ruining the latter’s party in the first episode.James had sued Terry Dubrow a long time ago, but they didn’t have any hard feelings about the situation. However, Shannon Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, and Emily Simpson made it a big deal and turned it into a huge drama.All about Episode 7 View this post on Instagram Instagram PostWhile James’ storyline might end in Season 16, the remaining housewives are not leaving a stone unturned in delivering dramatic episodes.RHOC Episode 7 revolved around the ladies enjoying their time in Cabo until Bergener arrives.
