"I love Heather but going up to a dress and looking at the price, to run back to the friend group, is mean girl behavior. Lol why would she do that"

"Heather knew damn well her intent to go to that store was to find Jen’s dress to look at the price. And to call up the girls was mean girl behavior AND gossip," a fan commented.

"It can't be " mean girl behavior" because that would mean that Miss Prim and proper Heather Fancy Pants Dubrow was anything besides perfect. So "gossipy" is ok, everyone gossips. Unbelievable," a tweet read.

Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 called Heather a "cold hearted snake":

"@HeatherDubrow is a cold hearted snake in the grass. The way she keeps trying to come for Jen is mean girl behavior. Tamra tried to destroy Heather last season... But Heather is up her butt. She and Tamra are friends out of fear," a person wrote.

"That’s the epitome of mean girl. Like you can’t afford it but why are you wearing a dress because you can’t afford xyz. That sh*tty couch doesn’t need to come back. Heather being so smug is disrespectful and disgusting," a fan commented.

"heather a weak individual who loves to bully and thinks she better than anyone she really self sabotaging herself tbh everyone seeing for she is as a mean girl who loves to do this on the daily," a tweet read.

Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 further said:

"Let’s be real Heather … you’ve been a mean girl for years . Acting like you’re appalled that someone would say that is just funny. Start being a better person then you won’t hear that," a person wrote.

"Heather checking the price tags on Jen’s dress was mean girl behavior. Heather saying Emily’s dress was actually tight on her was mean girl behavior. Heather defending Tamra ALL season was mean girl behavior," a fan commented.
