Heather Dubrow curses out ‘anti-female’ Taylor Armstrong
Heather Dubrow criticized Taylor Armstrong for insulting her acting career after she declined a role in Armstrong’s upcoming film. During the latest episode of “Real Housewives of Orange County,” Armstrong admitted feeling insecure about Dubrow’s refusal to join her film “Masterpiece.” Armstrong also confessed to criticizing Dubrow’s IMDb page during a lunch with Tamra Judge. An angry Dubrow called Armstrong’s behavior incredibly rude and anti-female. Dubrow, who previously starred in sitcoms before taking a break to raise her family, revealed that she is currently at a crossroads in her life and trying to figure out her identity now that two of her four children have left for college. Dubrow expressed her disappointment in Armstrong for offering her something that wasn’t hers to offer and then badmouthing her career to her friends. She cursed at Armstrong and told her off for being anti-female. In the previous episode, Armstrong asked Dubrow to star in a movie with her, but Dubrow didn’t take it seriously because it wasn’t how she had been offered roles in the past. Armstrong checked Dubrow’s credentials after feeling insecure about her rejection. On the other hand, Dubrow maintained that she declined the job because she didn’t feel it was offered in the right way. Armstrong interpreted Dubrow’s rejection as not wanting to be associated with her as a rookie actress. Dubrow found this interpretation ridiculous and explained that there is usually a protocol when someone wants her to do something, such as receiving a call and a script. The two initially resolved their issues after Armstrong realized it wasn’t personal, but they had a disagreement again when Armstrong mentioned that the director wanted Dubrow to do a casting tape before offering her a role. Dubrow was offended to learn that her IMDb page didn’t meet the director’s standards and that she had to audition for a role that Armstrong had already offered her. She expressed her frustration in her confessional, emphasizing that she had been offered a role, declined it, and was now being told she wasn’t good enough for it. The casting tape upset Dubrow because Armstrong was able to get cast without having any prior experience, while Dubrow had to audition for a role that was already hers. Tamra Judge, who was present when Armstrong looked through Dubrow’s IMDb page, chimed in and agreed that Armstrong didn’t find Dubrow’s past career impressive. Dubrow saw this as a punitive action and confronted Armstrong about it. The episode ended with Dubrow expressing her anger towards Armstrong. It’s unclear if the two were able to resolve their issues completely, but they still follow each other on Instagram. “The Real Housewives of Orange County” airs on Bravo on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
Heather Dubrow slammed “anti-female” Taylor Armstrong for disparaging her acting career after the former declined a role in the latter’s upcoming film.
During the latest episode of “Real Housewives of Orange County,” Armstrong admitted she felt “insecure” by Dubrow’s refusal to join her upcoming film “Masterpiece.”
Armstrong also copped to critiquing Dubrow’s IMDb page during a lunch with Tamra Judge.
“That is so incredibly rude,” an irate Dubrow told Armstrong. “I’m someone who has put my entire life on hold as many women do for my family, so for you to denigrate my career is not only anti-female – but just not nice.”
Dubrow – who starred on several sitcoms before pausing to raise a family in the early aughts – admitted that she’s now at a “crossroads in my life figuring out who I am” after two of her four kids left for college.
“I was excited for you – that’s the person I am,” Dubrow, 54, continued. “The person you are is making a mountain out of a molehill when you offered me something that was not yours to offer me in the first place and then talk to all of my friends and s–t talk my career? F–k you!”
During last week’s episode, Armstrong, 52, asked Dubrow to star in a movie with her, but Dubrow claimed she didn’t think she was being “serious,” because that’s not how she’s been offered gigs in the past.
However, Armstrong took Dubrow’s declination of the film as her not wanting to “attach [her] name to anything that [I’m] attached to” as a “rookie actress.”
“Are you kidding me?” a stunned Dubrow asked after Armstrong confessed her feelings. “I think this is a you issue, not a me issue, because I don’t feel that way. Usually if someone wants me to do something, someone would call, they’d send the script, there is a protocol.”
The two initially resolved their issues after Armstrong learned it wasn’t personal, but then she said the director wanted Dubrow to do a “casting tape” before offering her any sort of part.
“Just for clarity, I was offered a role, I turned down the role, I am better than the role, but now I’m not good enough for the role, and still no one has reached out to me,” Dubrow summed up in her confessional.
The casting tape made Dubrow upset because Armstrong was “good enough” to get cast having “never worked before” – yet she has to audition for the role Armstrong already offered her.

Tamra Judge – who was at lunch with Armstrong when she scrolled through Dubrow’s IMDb – chimed in that Armstrong was looking through Dubrow’s page and “didn’t think it was that impressive.”
Armstrong argued that she was only looking through Dubrow’s credits, because she was worried she looked “f–king stupid” for suggesting Dubrow after the director asked her to audition.
However, Dubrow didn’t seem to buy it and slammed her intentions as “punitive,” and the episode ended with Dubrow going off on her.
It’s unclear if the two were able to work things out for good, but they each still follow each other on Instagram.
“The Real Housewives of Orange County” airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
