Are They Brave Enough? 'The Real Housewives Of Orange County'' Signs Two New Cast Members
Dec. 21 2013, Published 9:59 a.m. ET
The Real Housewives of Orange County continues its shake-up with the signing of two new cast members.
Lizzie Rovsek, a former model and beauty queen-turned swimsuit designer, and Shannon Beador, a mom of three whose husband is a multimillionaire in the construction business, are the ladies taking the plunge, Us magazine is reporting.
RadarOnline.com had previously revealed that Beador was coming on board with a family scandal -- her husband was once investigated for battery! He pleaded not guilty. It took three years for the case to work itself through with the charge ultimately being dismissed.
They're replacing RHOC veterans Alexis Bellino and Grethen Rossi and Lydia McLaughlin who only survived one season.
They'll be joining Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Barney and Heather Dubrow when season 9 premieres on Bravo in 2014.
