The weather forecast for SoCal this summer? Not so sunny.
The Real Housewives of Orange County is rocked by lies and a shocking cheating rumor in the Bravo series' explosive season 19 trailer.
"There's a snake in this group," Shannon Beador warns in the preview, released June 5, before Tamra Judge notes, "No one likes a liar."
Heather Dubrow adds, "She is not telling the truth."
It's not long before Tamra and returning RHOC alum Gretchen Rossi—who costarred seasons four to eight—are at each other's throats amid their decade-long feud.
During a tense reunion showdown, Tamra yells, "Twelve years you've been going after me!" to which Gretchen fires back, "It's not the same thing!"
Meanwhile, Gretchen's fiancé Slade Smiley labels longtime foe Tamra "captain evil" amid their bitter battle.
The drama only intensifies when Gretchen and Slade tell Emily Simpson about an alleged cheating scandal involving Tamra.
Emily relays the rumor back to Tamra by telling her, "Gretchen said that you had an affair," before Emily exclaims, "There's audio of them having sex?!"
Tamra's reaction to the gossip? "She's lying!"
But Gretchen isn't Tamra's only point of contention this season. She and former BFF Jennifer Pedranti are still on the outs after their falling out over Tamra trashing Jen's fiancé Ryan Boyajian.
"I don't want Tamra at our wedding," Jen declares in the teaser. "That f--king woman caused so much pain!"
Meanwhile, Shannon and Katie Ginella are at war as well.
After Tamra says, "Katie's like a silent assassin," Shannon confronts her costar and tells Katie, "What you did is illegal. We're done!"
But it's not all drama. The women all sit down for a lie detector test where Shannon makes a hilarious PDA confession.
When the polygraph examiner asks, "Did you make out with multiple men in Newport?" the embarrassed 61-year-old confirms, "Yes."
And Gretchen drops a NSFW bombshell about her sex life with Slade: "I broke his penis for real. It went like this."
From trips to Amsterdam and New Orleans to Emly and Gina Kirschenheiter getting candid about heart wrenching family problems, see everything to come in the trailer above.
The Real Housewives of Orange County returns Thursday, July 10, at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
