Heather Dubrow immediately defended her husband and their wealth. Keep reading to learn how Terry reacted to the suggestion that he didn’t earn his money.
Who Is Terry Dubrow’s Brother?
Vicki Gunvalson and Heather Dubrow were never close friends during their time on RHOC. They got off on the wrong foot almost immediately during the Season 20 premiere. Heather confronted her returning co-star about comments Vicki made on a podcast. She claimed that plastic surgeons couldn’t afford 40-million-dollar homes and she knew where the money really came from. Vicki made the shocking claim that Terry Dubrow inherited millions from his late brother.
His brother, Kevin DuBrow, was the lead singer of the heavy metal band Quiet Riot. Their song, “Cum On Feel the Noize,” was a huge hit in the early 1980s. The band continued performing even after the hair band fad was replaced by grunge. Terry Dubrow’s brother passed away in 2007 and left behind a massive estate, including publishing rights and royalties.
However, Heather and Terry Dubrow deny that they inherited any money from his late brother.
