Who Is The Rumored New 'RHOC' Cast Member?

by Emily Lackey

Move over, Heather Dubrow, there is a new brunette in town. According Us Weekly, a new addition to The Real Housewives of Orange County may have been found with Kelly Meza-Dodd. According to the report, Meza-Dodd may be added to the Season 11 roster, even though it has yet to be announced whether long-time favorites Vicki Gunvalson, Heather Dubrow, Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, and Meghan King Edmonds are returning for another season. But, as premature as the news may be (Bravo has not yet responded to Bustle's request for comment about these reports), all of this news has me wondering: who is Kelly Meza-Dodd? And, more importantly, will she be able to keep up with these crazy housewives?

According to Meza-Dodd’s Facebook account, she is married to Michael Dodd, and she is the COO of Kiss Me Mirrors, a Newport Beach-based company. The two have one child together. Unfortunately, very little else is known about Meza-Dodd — aside from Facebook, there seem to be no other social media accounts in her name.

And while nothing has been confirmed yet, it's worth noting that Gunvalson is already commenting on her Facebook photos. Gunvalson posted a comment on Meza-Dodd's profile photo on Monday, saying, “You look great.” So, either these two are already friends, or there is definitely some behind-the-scenes knowledge that we don’t know about yet.

Considering that Bravo has a history of bringing on new cast members who are already personally connected with the current cast, it’s an interesting thing to note.

Until the new cast and season are announced, we won't know for sure. But, until then, I’ll be crossing my fingers that she joins all of the other housewives who have made the show so great.
