REAL Housewives of Orange County star Noella Bergener SOBBED and claimed her husband James is "MISSING" after he "shut off her credit cards" and filed for divorce.

The Bravo star broke down in tears over her estranged husband's disappearance during Wednesday's episode.

While getting lunch with her friend Nicole James, Noella reveled that she received divorce papers from James the day before.

She then revealed she doesn't know where her husband is, stating: “I still need to find him in order to turn back on the credit cards, make sure that rent gets paid and to afford my son’s therapy.”

When Nicole asked if she “thinks he left,” Noella said: “I know we left. He took his tooth brush.”

Nicole then asked if he blocked her number, so Noella called him and it rang until she reached his voicemail.

Noella continued to cry and asked Nicole to hug her numerous times before her friend got up to give her a hug.

The new RHOC star continued to cry in a confessional, stating: “I don’t know what the next step is and all I can think about in my head is, ‘I don’t know’ and that’s a very scary place for me to be cause I’ve never had a day in my life where I don’t know what I’m gonna do.”

She then slammed the way Nicole consoled her by saying “it will all work out.”

Noella said: “I think our views of friendship are every different.

"I need somebody who is going to wrap me up and say, ‘I know. I have been there.’ I need friends, for the first time, to really show up for me.”

The segment concluded with Noella crying as she said she’s “having a breakdown” and “my life is falling apart.”

SLAMMING NICOLE

Bravo fans weren't happy with how Nicole consoled Noella, as many rushed to Twitter to call of the friend.

One viewer wrote: "It was extremely hard watching Nicole not be there for Noella when she's clearly having a break down. Nicole was too busy worrying herself and how she looks in public. She's a disgusting human being."

Another added: "I’m confused by Nicole’s behavior towards Noella. Is she embarrassed or is this normal behavior for Sweet James??

A third chimed in: "Noella is learning these OC shallow fakea** women Nicole won't support her while she's breaking down and losing her sh*t. They only care about image!"

The backlash continued as another RHOC fan wrote: "Nicole your friend is asking for a hug and saying she’s having a break down. I say stand your a** up and walk over to her."

An additional viewer wrote: "The Noella and Nicole lunch made me made. Are you so lacking in empathy you can’t give that girl a hug? 'I’m uncomfortable,' yeah and she’s depressed. SIT DOWN."

FINANCIAL WOES

During last week's episode, Noella broke down in tears as she revealed that James "shut down her credit cards."

Last month, The Sun exclusively revealed that Noella is demanding legal and physical custody of their two-year-old son, James Jr., amid her nasty divorce from James.

In court documents first exclusively obtained by The Sun, Noella said she wants James to pay spousal support as well as her attorney fees. 

The reality star, who was named as one of the newest OC Housewives early this year as first confirmed by The Sun, said in the documents she would allow James visitation with their child. 

The court ultimately determines any child support that would be awarded. 

In the new petition, Noella noted that she doesn’t know the exact amount of their assets and debts and reserved the right to update that information at a later date. 

The couple were married in June of 2020 and James first filed for divorce from his wife in August in Puerto Rico, as TMZ reported. 

Sources told the outlet the RHOC star was "blindsided" by the filing, adding that James does not currently live at the Orange County home they share together. 

The split seems to be mutual, as RadarOnline reported Noella also filed for legal separation on August 2.
