Real Housewives of Orange County star Noella Bergener is dealing with losing a parent all while still fighting her estranged husband James in court.
On Wednesday, the Bravo star posted an emotional note days after losing her dad.
Noella wrote, “My Father Christopher Nance Weatherman for NBC for 20 years and champion of countless charities benefiting children with fatal illnesses has passed on. He was the oldest living man in the US with sickle cell anemia.”

She revealed, “Though we weren’t close for many years reconnecting last year and your incredible insight and encouragement is something I will cherish for life. Hearing stories from your friends about how proud you were to be a grandfather gives me such comfort. I wish you got to meet them.”
The RHOC star ended, “If I didn’t tell you enough while you were here how proud I am to be your daughter I hope you hear it in the heavens. I love you.”
The blow comes only two months after she hit her personal injury lawyer husband James with court papers. She filed for legal separation in August weeks after his tax debt was exposed.
