Braunwyn Windham-Burke, who was on the show for two seasons, and Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, who was on the most recent season, also will not return.
A Bravo spokesperson confirmed to Variety the departures of Dodd — a controversial firebrand who’s been in the cast since 2016 — Windham-Burke and Vargas. Their contracts were not renewed for the show’s upcoming 16th season, which is set to begin production next month.
Shannon Storms Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, and Emily Simpson, however, are all returning to “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” or “RHOC,” as it’s nicknamed. One or two new women will also join the cast.

PAMELA ANDERSON RETURNS TO HER ROOTS
PAMELA’S GARDEN OF EDEN
Premiering November 3 on FOXTEL
PAMELA’S GARDEN OF EDEN features global icon Pamela Anderson taking a break from Hollywood life and returning to her roots, as she embarks on a massive restoration of her grandmother’s legacy property. PAMELA’S GARDEN OF EDEN from November 3 at 1.30pm on FOXTEL and available On Demand.
Pamela’s passion for design and gift for renovating spaces has inspired her to redevelop the six-acre waterfront property on Vancouver Island, which she purchased from her late grandmother over 25 years ago. A project of this scale will test Pamela’s patience and her personal life as she tries to remain focused on her dream for the property: to embrace her family’s past and fulfill her vision for the future.
Pamela enlists a dream team of contractors, including her former husband Dan (construction), contractor Darren, designer Francesca, construction consultant Kenny and input from her parents Carol and Barry to execute her romantic and glamorous vision. Over the course of the season, they work alongside Pamela through the stresses, struggles, budget, and time constraints of this extraordinary renovation.
Pamela Anderson said: “It’s an interesting journey, I couldn’t have imagined this 20 years ago when I was doing Baywatch that I was actually going to come home. After the life I have had in Hollywood and all around the world, to come back in one piece is pretty much a miracle.
“I was overwhelmed with my life in LA, marriages, and my career. Time just passed so fast, but I kept this place. I came back to Vancouver Island to right where I started from, I feel like I am the custodian of this property which has been in the family a long time. I want to see how beautiful I can make it for generations to come.”
The property encompasses three main areas: The Roadhouse, The Boathouse and The Cabin; each of which Pamela has major plans for. With an ambitious timeline, Pamela hopes to finish the “crown jewel” of the property, The Boathouse on the shoreline, before the Christmas holidays and make it into an architectural masterpiece.
PAMELA’S GARDEN OF EDEN, premieres Thursday November 3 from 1.30pm AEDT on FOXTEL.
Available to watch on FOX ARENA and ON DEMAND.

It’s understood the vicious, snakey, downright designer claws out cast of the cult favourite reality show franchise are coming to Victoria this month.
Filming is currently underway on season 15 of the long running Bravo reality show – Beverly Hills is a serial fan favourite – with new cast member, recently divorced stylist-to-the-stars Rachel Zoe joining Housewives Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke and Bozoma Saint John.
Housewives fans will be well aware the cast often head overseas on a trip each season, usually resulting in the most feisty of catfights with acrylic nails and stilettos sharpened, or some drunken pashing and purging, but more of that later.
It’s understood the Bravo production is in talks with a tourism body about just where the girls will be heading to and staying while here this month.
