Dr. Terry Dubrow was admittedly “pissed” after Heather Dubrow outed him for wearing height-enhancing footwear.
How to Watch
Heather shared the information in The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19, Episode 5, when she and her castmates were dining in New Orleans. At one point during the sit-down, Heather told the ladies that her plastic surgeon hubby wasn’t as tall as some might’ve expected, as he’s worn shoe “lifts” for “years.”
“He’s got those shoes with the thing inside,” she said in the August 7 episode. “Terry’s lifts are from China. And sadly, his shoes are going to be not just high, but highly priced. Probably won’t be getting any new ones anytime soon.”

Terry has since revealed he wasn’t pleased with Heather’s comments and wasn’t given a heads-up before the episode aired. He recalled his initial reaction during a red-carpet interview with Decider, questioning if the “gauntlet [had] been thrown down” in that moment.

“I said to her… ‘Am I going to out you for the things that only I know about?’ I actually looked at her and I said, ‘Why?’” Terry told the outlet. “I mean, I’m really not short. I’m 5’11”, but it makes me, like, 6’1”, which is kind of sexy and good. I thought it was weird.”
He continued: “To be perfectly honest with you, I was a little bit pissed. I really was. I could feel acid in my blood for about five minutes. I texted [her] and I went, ‘Really?’ She goes, ‘Oh, whatever.’ I go, “Oh, whatever?!’”
Terry Dubrow wonders what else Heather Dubrow might expose
Terry said he was also a bit amused by Heather’s remarks and noted “she was probably four champagne glasses in when she disclosed that.” However, the doctor insisted he had “nothing to hide,” and simply liked being an inch and a half taller.
“[Heather] busted me,” he added. “What else are you going to bust me for? The nose job I had? Oh, no, she can’t, because I put that on the Housewives. So, whatever.”

Terry Dubrow on Jax Taylor comparison: “I don’t really know…”
But the RHOC dad isn’t the only Bravoleb who has confessed to wearing shoe lifts. During The Valley Season 2 reunion, Jax Taylor hit the set rocking white Totos— the “elevator” sneakers that purportedly add 2.4 inches to the wearer’s height.
Jax showed off his shoe-lift inserts during an episode of The Valley After Show, saying they gave him “just a little bit” of extra height.
Terry told Decider he had no idea that Jax was also a fan of height-boosting footwear.
“I don’t really know Jax,” he said. “I’ve never met him, but I don’t necessarily want to be, certainly lately, put in the same category as Jax. He’s trying to work his life out. I’ve worked my life out. I think I’m good, but whatever.”
