"Real Housewives of Orange County" producers are reportedly cleaning house for next season and are handing out pink slips to Kelly Dodd, Emily Simpson, Braunwyn Windham-Burke, and Elizabeth Vargas.
Deuxmoi, the popular celebrity gossip Instagram (who has a great track record with accurate anonymous tips being sent to them) reposted a message they received from a tipster.
The tipster said their friend worked at Bravo and told them a bunch of secrets about the expected cast shakeup for next season.
The message read, "Same friend also works at Bravo. RHOC shakeup is coming Kelly, Braunwyn, Emily, and Elizabeth are out. Tamra {Judge} will be back. Heather [DuBrow] and Alexis [Bellino] said no. They're trying to get Gretchen [Rossi] and her rich Newport friends but Gretchen [Rossi] won't return if Tamra's still on the show. Anon, please."
If the message is true, that would mean Gina Kirschenheiter and Shannon Beador will be the only returning cast members for season 16 of "Real Housewives of Orange County,"
The alleged shakeup should be no surprise to fans after a disastrous last season which included accusations of racism against Kelly. Andy Cohen expressed his displeasure with the cast and his desire to fire some of the cast on Twitter after the reunion show.
Andy spilled all on his intentions after writer Evan Ross Katz tweet his displeasure with the season after the season wrapped. he wrote, "It's time to cancel RHOC"
"The View" star Meghan McCain replied to the tweet, "yes." However, Andy then replied, "I think you mean reBOOT."

If the firings are true, fans are sure to be excited about Kelly being fired. They have been pleading with Bravo to get rid of the controversial reality star after she refused to apologize for her behavior this year. Kelly was defiant despite being criticized by fans. The "RHOC" star spread anti-mask views, defended her friend who was accused of throwing up the white power symbol during dinner and she called BLM protestors "terrorists."
One said, "Fire @RHOC_KellyDodd. She doesn’t deserve the platform she has. @Andy
@BravoTV - YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS! #RHOC."
