Noelle Bergener, the new star of Real Housewives of Orange County, is flashing off her expensive clothing despite her husband being hit with massive tax liens.
The Bravo star, who recently started shooting season 16, decided to post a photo of herself rocking a bunch of designer brands.
In the snap, Noella rocked a crisp white dress with a fancy purse. She also wore a pair of bright blue Off White brand heels. The bow stiletto mules are interesting given they retail for around $1,065.
The 'RHOC' star is married to a personal injury lawyer named James Bergener. He is well-known for running a successful law firm named Sweet James in Orange County.
As RadarOnline.com first reported, James was recently hit with tax liens by the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California.
A federal tax lien was filed on June 3, 2021. The IRS accuses James of refusing to pay up on his 2018 and 2019 bills.
The government claims James owes $1,878,438 for 2018 and $2,166,680 for 2019. In another lien filed by the State of California, James is accused of owing $1,851,225.04 for 2018 and 2019. The grand total for his tax debt comes to $5,896,343.04.
Attempts to reach James for comment have been unsuccessful.
Under one recent post, a fan told Noella "Don't make the same mistake as Erika Jayne by owing millions while flaunting wealth on social. She's going to get slammed - don't let it happen to you."
Noella replied, "Promise to not disappoint."
In the weeks since RadarOnline.com broke the news, Noella has stayed silent about the situation but instead ripped her former friend Braunwyn Windham-Burke on social media.
After one follower asked Noella if she was still friends with Braunwyn. She revealed, "It was a great friendship till it wasn't. I've wanted to call her so many times since our bad breakup but without trust you have nothing. Wishing you and yours well."
The two had been inseparable for months until producers decided to fire Braunwyn and replace her with Noella. She will be joining Shannon Beador, Emily Simpson, Heather Dubrow, and Gina Kirschenheiter
