Heather Dubrow and Natalie Puche
As of yesterday (November 20), the two were on great terms — as Heather Dubrow commented on one of Natalie’s photos posted on Instagram — describing the new mother as, “Beautiful, smart, creative, amazing woman and a great mom!”
The sad part of this story is, the termination occurred while Natalie Puche was actively exercising her maternity leave and it’s apparent that the firing came as a complete shock based on her comments on social media.
On September 23, longtime staffer, executive director, and Heather Dubrow’s World podcast co-host, Natalie Puche, welcomed her baby girl, Piper Rose. After the birth, Heather Dubrow congratulated Natalie on Instagram and appeared excited about Natalie’s new addition to her family.
