When Noella Bergener joined the\u00a0Real Housewives of Orange County,\u00a0she came in dripping in labels, private jets and big-ticket vacations.<\/p>\n
On-screen, she loved a luxe moment, but off-screen, her finances have taken some wild twists since she put down her orange.<\/p>\n
Now, new court documents have pulled back the curtain on what life looks like for Noella post-RHOC, including a seriously jaw-dropping monthly spend.<\/p>\n
Noella only held her orange for one season, joining RHOC for season 16, which aired from December 2021 to April 2022.<\/p>\n
A few months after the reunion wrapped, she confirmed that she would not be returning for season 17.<\/p>\n
In a statement shared on Instagram in July 2022, she thanked Bravo and Andy Cohen for the opportunity and said that after a \u201cwild season of ups and downs,\u201d she would not be back, calling that year one of the hardest of her life and hinting at \u201cbrighter skies ahead,\u201d per\u00a0People.<\/p>\n
At the same time, her personal life was imploding. She had filed for separation from husband James Bergener in 2021, after his law firm was hit with multi-million-dollar tax liens, and then moved toward divorce and a tense custody battle over their son, James Jr.<\/p>\n
On top of that, earlier court filings show she told the court she was unemployed, had earned $46,000 from\u00a0Bravo\u00a0during her time on the show, and was claiming she had zero income and assets with monthly expenses of around $4,070, per\u00a0Reality Blurb.<\/p>\n
So by the time she exited RHOC in 2022, the glam housewife lifestyle viewers had seen was already colliding with some very real money stress behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
Fast-forward about three years, and Noella\u2019s financial picture has shifted again \u2013 and the numbers are a lot bigger.<\/p>\n
In new court documents, cited by\u00a0Us Weekly, Noella states she currently has no earned income and lists her occupation simply as \u201cmother.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to those filings, she also hasn\u2019t filed taxes since 2022 because that was the last year she had a paying job, which would line up with her RHOC season.<\/p>\n
Despite that, she reports monthly bills totalling over $33,000?!<\/p>\n
That is a whopping five-figure amount that most people would associate with a yearly salary, not one month of living expenses.<\/p>\n
According to the filing, her expenses break down into the following:<\/p>\n
\u201c$16,000 on rent, $1,509 on health care costs, $1,500 on child care, $800 on eating out, $2,000 on utilities, $350 on her cell phone, $800 on laundry, $600 on clothing, $2,000 on education, $5,000 on entertainment and vacations, $500 on auto expenses and $800 on insurance.\u201d<\/p>\n
And yes, all of that adds up fast. In total, Noella\u2019s monthly outgoings come to just over $33,000, which means her budget is basically operating at Real Housewife levels\u2026 minus the Bravo paycheck.<\/p>\n
According to the same documents, she covers almost the entire amount through child support, $25,000 a month from ex-husband James for their son James Jr., plus another $7,400 from her daughter Coco\u2019s father, leaving her with only a tiny margin between income and expenses.<\/p>\n
