HEATHER Dubrow accused newcomer Noella Bergener of giving her daughter porn in the trailer for season 16 of Real Housewives of Orange County.

Noella looked panicked as Heather confronted her before looking utterly shocked and covering her mouth with her hands.
It's not clear which of Heather's daughter's she's referring to but it most likely Max, 17, who Noella was seen bonding with in a previous scene.
Noella, 36, excitedly approached the teen and said: "Are you Max? Hi Max! I'm bisexual too."
Max came out as bisexual on social media in June 2020.
Thursday's trailer showed Heather's return to the show after she left the series in 2017 after five seasons.
It follows the departures of Kelly Dodd, Braunwyn Windham-Burke and Elizabeth Lyn Vargas.
Jennifer Armstrong also joins the cast for season 16.

Elsewhere in the trailer, Shannon Beador stirs the pot as she becomes jealous of Heather's friendship with Gina Kirschenheiter.
Heather tells Shannon, 57, "Gina, she's super cool," to which Shannon mumbles "Yeah, no, she's, she's, she's…"
"Do you get jealous of Gina's relationship with Heather?" Emily Simpson asks Shannon at one point, and she responds, "I have my own relationship with Heather."
Heather is later seen telling Gina and Emily, "Shannon told me that the two of you were not to be trusted.";
Emily confronts Shannon, asking her, "I thought we were friends, Shannon," while Gina adds, "Shannon, I feel bad for you."
NOELLA SPLITS FROM HUSBAND
Meanwhile, Noella has filed for divorce from her husband James Bergener and is demanding legal and physical custody of their two-year-old son, James Jr.
In court documents first exclusively obtained by The Sun, Noella said she wants James to pay spousal support as well as her attorney fees.
The reality star, who was named as one of the newest OC Housewives early this year as first confirmed by The Sun, said in the documents she would allow James visitation with the child.
The court ultimately determines any child support that would be awarded.
In the new petition, Noella noted that she doesn’t know the exact amount of their assets and debts and reserved the right to update that information at a later date.

The couple were married in June of 2020 and James first filed for divorce from his wife in August in Puerto Rico, as TMZ reported.
Sources told the outlet the RHOC star was "blindsided" by the filing, adding that James does not currently live at the Orange County home they share together.
The split seems to be mutual, as reported Noella also filed for legal separation on August 2.
In filing for legal separation, Noella was not filing to end her marriage, however this new petition for marital dissolution ultimately would.
James has yet to respond to either of Noella’s petitions.
JAMES' LEGAL TROUBLES
James filed for divorce shortly after he was accused of owing nearly $6 million in back taxes.
He is a well known attorney in Southern California, while many locals will recognize him from his billboards and advertisements that are placed throughout the area.
According to RadarOnline, "the IRS and the State of California filed liens against Noella's husband who runs a successful law firm named Sweet James."
James has been accused of "refusing to pay $1,878,438 for 2018 and $2,166,680 for 2019."
Meanwhile, he reportedly owes the State of California $1,851,225.04 for both 2018 and 2019.
Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Orange County premieres on December 1 at 9pm ET time on Bravo.
