Who Is Carmella Garcia? Meet the Newest ‘RHOC’ Cast Member for Season 20

Carmella Garcia is the newest cast member joining "The Real Housewives of Orange County" for its 20th season. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Carmella said she hopes viewers show grace, as the season was not easy and included many difficult moments. Based on the trailer, she may clash with OG Vicki Gunvalson but will build close relationships with Jennifer Pedranti and Heather Dubrow. Carmella is a mother of four teenagers and works as a broker associate with the Oppenheim Group. Before joining "RHOC," Carmella was Playboy's Miss April 2003 and the 2004 Playmate of the Year. She was born and raised in Ohio before moving to Los Angeles at 18 to pursue modeling. She currently splits her time between Corona Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe, California. Carmella admitted she didn't watch much of the show before filming, which she believes allowed her to be more authentic, though she is curious to see how she comes across on screen.
