The drama on “The Real Housewives of Orange County” isn’t limited only to what happens in front of the cameras. As a new report indicates, two of the regulars have not been asked back for season 9 of the series.

As production on the new season is about to begin, two of the regulars of the cast are notably absent. Wenn reports that they have not been in negotiations to return either.

“‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ stars Gretchen Rossi and Alexis Bellino have reportedly been fired from the popular Bravo series,” the e-zine says.

This is the second time in as many years that Bellino is rumored to be kicked off the show. Last year, reports claimed she’d been fired after getting into a massive fight with the other ladies on the show.

No word yet on why she and Rossi were (reportedly) fired.

“As for the rest of the cast, Heather Dubrow, Lydia McLaughlin, Tamra Barney and Vicki Gunvalson have reportedly been invited to return,” Wenn further says.
