The fourteenth season of The Real Housewives of Orange County focuses on the lives of Tamra Judge, Shannon Storms Beador, Kelly Dodd, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson and Braunwyn Windham-Burke. Original housewife Vicki Gunvalson appeared as a friend of the housewives.
This season marked the first departure of Tamra Judge. She eventually returned for the show's 17th season.
Following the conclusion of the thirteenth season, Vicki Gunvalson was demoted to a friend after thirteen seasons of being a main housewife.[1] Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Kelly Dodd, Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson all returned with new cast member Braunwyn Windham-Burke joining the show.[2] Former housewives Alexis Bellino and Meghan King Edmonds also returned in guest appearance.[3] [4] Gunvalson’s demotion made the series the second Real Housewives franchise to not retain any original cast members as full-time participants after season 8 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
