RHOC (The Real Housewives of Orange County) is all set to return with a bang on Bravo. The new season will bring more drama along with three new faces.

Noella Bergener, one of the newcomers on the show, is said to be bringing a lot of emotional baggage with her since she will soon be ending her marriage. Last month, she filed for legal separation from her estranged husband James, a personal injury attorney.

Bergener is also fighting a custody battle with James over their two-year-old son. Trouble in paradise occurred after news of James’ severe tax issue came to light. He is in debt of over $5.8 million.

Meanwhile, the RHOC newbie is also facing yet another legal battle.

During the 2014 legal battle with her first husband, Bergener apparently hired a law firm, Fried and Goldsman, to represent her in “a paternity action.” According to the reports, she owed $293,832.22 to the firm and has not paid the amount till date.

As a result, the debt collector Creditors Adjustment Bureau has allegedly sued the upcoming RHOC star for breach of contract.

Reports claimed that Bergener was not aware of such an amount as she thought it was supposed to be paid by her first husband, as per their divorce settlement.
