"At that point, I already felt disrespected," Heather explains of turning down Christine's offer. It wasn't like I just had a freak-out and left."Īs Heather and Tarek stormed out of the party (a soiree thrown by brothers Brett and Jason Oppenheim to announce the expansion of their business to the El Moussas' home turf of Newport Beach and, ultimately, the introduction of a soon-to-launch Selling the OC spinoff), Christine asked Heather if she'd be willing to have a one-on-one chat instead of a group discussion. I'm going on my vacation with my future husband, at the time, and so a lot had led up to that frustration. I'm good.' And I'm like, 'If you're good, I'm good, too.' She wanted to mend a friendship with me, and the relationship. "She completely brushed me off and she's like, 'I'm good. "She disregarded the fact that we were all waiting for her, I was waiting for her specifically," Heather reiterates. And they're like, 'She's coming in 10 minutes,' and I said, 'OK. You know what? I just want to talk to her before I leave on this vacation.' And she showed up and she brushed me off." "But I was already an hour past when I was supposed to leave. "I actually left and decided to come back because I knew she was going to show up in about 10 minutes," Heather recalls. She decided to show up hours later than all of us other girls were there." She knew I was waiting around to talk to her.
And I had been waiting around for Christine for hours. And what people don't see is, Tarek and I were heading out to St.
And I was going to take that time to have a really nice conversation with her and just clear the air with a lot of things that have obviously been spewing and she said, she said, she said, and so I just wanted to clear the air in a nice, calm way with her. There was a lot that happened hours before, and we all were there hours and hours and hours before Christine showed up. "I mean, a lot led up to that moment that was not shown. "I wouldn't say a freak-out," Heather clarifies when ET asks if that's an appropriate descriptor for her reaction to Christine.
