Heather Dubrow’s life is pretty close to perfect and when weird rumors started circulating, she just brushed them off.
Dubrow is laughing off claims that her husband Dr. Terry Dubrow had cheated on her and that was why she missed out on filming for the upcoming season of “The Real Housewives of Orange Country.”
“Success breeds contempt, friend. So no one’s perfect, no one’s marriage is perfect, lives are perfect,” Heather, 53 exclusively said. “In general, you have to know at the end of the day that you have to go home to your life and your truth.”
She continued, “So what other people want to say about you, sometimes it’s annoying, sometimes you get fed up with it. But in general, you’ve got to blow it off. I’ve tried to shut down the rumors before, but I seem to always be met with backlash.”
“As soon as you say something, it’s a lose-lose situation. If you say nothing, you’re hiding. If you say something, you’re deflecting. It’s a lose-lose. So I tried, but whatever,” Heather concluded.
Terry, 64, also said the accusations are rather ludicrous.
Terry said, “The initial rumor was she wasn’t filming, but she was filming every single day,” to which Heather joked, “Oh yeah, I wasn’t filming because I was ‘devastated.’ I’m like, can someone give me a devastation break because I could use four days to just go to the spa and nap, you know.”
While the very weird rumors can upset the two, they seem to be used to the fact their marriage is a constant target on the reality series.
“We’ve been targeted for other things before that we’ve kind of just ignored as well,” Terry said, seemingly alluding to his lawsuit drama which unfolded on the hit series.
Despite the two looking past the rumors, it seems their four children are not having such an easy time.
“That’s the problem. You ignore and you let it go,” Heather said. “But at some point, it gets frustrating. And we have children and they are old enough to see things and hear things. And even though they know things aren’t true, that’s upsetting to a kid. We have two kids at college, they’re away from home that we need to protect.”
Amid the speculations, the couple, who have been married since 1999, put on a united front earlier this month while spending the day at Disneyland.
The reality TV stars were all smiles as they were spotted hugging and holding each other while visiting the iconic theme park.
However, this isn’t the first time Heather has had to set the record straight on her marriage.
“There’s a rumor online right now that Terry was banging his assistant for years,” she said on an episode of her “Heather Dubrow’s World” podcast back in April. “It’s not true. I’m not going to give it any weight or any life because it’s stupid.”
