Gretchen Rossi and Alexis Bellino have reportedly been asked not to return for the ninth season of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Rossi joined the hit Bravo series in season four and Bellino in season five, and though they were friends initially, they started fighting in season seven. Despite trying to patch things up last season, the ladies were at each others' throats again earlier this spring in a heated Twitter battle.

"Alexis and Gretchen were fired," a source tells Us Weekly. "They just had run their course. Gretchen has been on the show a long time, and it was the same old story." Ouch!

Remaining cast members include Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, Heather Dubrow, and Lydia McLaughlin. Wonder who will replace Gretchen and Alexis?
