A Bravo backfire.
Heather Dubrow may be in the business of fixing bad relationships on E!’s 7 Year Stitch, but it sounds like her Real Housewives of Orange County co-star Dr. Jen Armstrong isn’t interested in her services.
She revealed as much during E! News’ Daily Pop on March 1, explaining that she met newcomer Dr. Jen around the same time she and her husband Terry Dubrow started filming 7 Year Stitch. The TV special sees the couple attempt to save struggling marriages, and since Jen and her husband have been dealing with their own martial issues this season on RHOC, Heather called the timing “a life imitating art situation.”
“I just adore her and felt terrible about what was going on with Jen and her husband,” Heather said of Jen and husband Ryne, the latter of which left their home after an emotional discussion on the Feb. 16 episode of RHOC. So, Heather decided to try and help.
“This week on the show, you’re going to see I throw a dinner party,” Heather teased, “and I invited Jen and her husband over with a couple of other couples to show them, you know, what functioning couples look like. And I’m gonna let you see how well that went.”
Heather didn’t give too much away, but she did call Jen “controlling.”
“And I say that with a lot of love because so am I,” she continued. “But it was very difficult for her. She’s a doctor, she’s got a veneer and for her to step out of that comfort zone and share was a really big deal for her. My heart just broke for her.”
Hopefully Heather and Terry will have better luck with the couple on 7 Year Stitch. After all, if anyone’s well-equipped to help, it’s them.
