Last year, The Real Housewives of Orange County star Lynne Curtin was kicked out of her house. Now Bravo's booted the bizarre brunette from its hit series.

The 53-year-old famously facelifted jewelry designer revealed the bad news Friday via Facebook

"Rumor has it that I will not be returning for 'season 6.' That rumor is true!"

Curtin, who joined the mostly blonde cast in season 4, let cameras film her cosmetic surgery (with her 19-year-old daughter Raquel), eviction from her Laguna Beach home and criticism by a "youthologist" and her fellow castmates for her lousy discipline of her bratty daughter Alexa.

Expressing her shock over her firing, the drama mama relied heavily on exclamation points:

"I am broken hearted! I was so let down the way this came about! We were the last to know! I guess Bravo has to do what they have to do! I thought we had a great relationship! I guess I was wrong! Its funny how fast offers came to us from other places! Thats how we found out we were not returning! Funny how life can be!"

Peggy Tanous, 41, will reportedly take Curtin's place on season six, expected to air in January 2011. A friend of castmember Alexis Bellino (who herself joined The Real Housewives of O.C. last season), Tanous has two young daughters with her husband, Micah, an Internet marketing entrepreneur and infomercial host.

Though Bravo has yet to comment on Curtin's departure from Housewives, she believes things are in the works for her dysfunctional family to have their own show.

"Further rumor has it we will be back somewhere else on our own show!" Curtin said, dramatically punctuating even her optimism. "Hmmmm! I would like our new show to be totally honest! No retakes or do overs. You will see it exactly the way it really happens! Someone thinks a lot of people will tune in! That makes me feel better about things! Its important to keep a positive vibe in life no matter what is going on!"

"'Watch what happens,'" the demoted to lowercase housewife concludes."Life is so unpredictable! Enjoy!"
