Things between Shannon Beador and Vicki Gunvalson apparently get even more intense on next week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County . In an interview with E! News , posted on Tuesday, Shannon said that viewers will see her and Vicki go head-to-head .
Shannon first explained why she’s upset with Vicki. Shannon doesn’t appreciate Vicki questioning her loyalty and friendship.
“David and I have been nothing but supportive of Brooks [Ayers] and Brooks and Vicki’s relationship since even before we met them. And so it’s very difficult…My friendship is being questioned by Vicki and I am loyal to a T. When you are my friend, you are my friend for life. It’s just that there were so many different, inconsistent stories and so when people started coming to me and asking me for information, ‘Why didn’t Brooks see these two amazing doctors that you referred him to?’ Look, he can make his own decisions and it was just, ‘Go in with these people. An hour of your time. If you’re fighting for your life go meet with this person for an hour and see if they might be able to help you.’”
On Monday night’s episode, Shannon questioned Vicki over why she and Brooks won’t show a medical document that proves that he has cancer in order to prove their doubters wrong. Vicki, in tears, told Shannon to stop her questioning. Vicki later told the camera that Shannon is “drinking the Kool-Aid” and that she feels betrayed by her.
Shannon added during her E! News interview that she learned some information about Brooks from Vicki’s daughter, Briana Culberson, that shocked her.
“To have Vicki’s daughter bring in some stories that I am shocked by is something else…I was very, very surprised to see certain things that she is aware of in Brooks history and cancer.”
Will viewers see Briana, who has been very vocal about her dislike and distrust of Brooks throughout her mom’s relationship with him, with this information regarding Brooks’ history and cancer on the season finale?
One thing viewers will definitely see on the season finale episode is Shannon Beador and Vicki Gunvalson in another tense confrontation. Shannon summed up the finale episode as “Shannon vs. Vicki.”
“I’m just gonna say, ‘Shannon vs. Vicki.’ That pretty much describes the finale to me, ‘Shannon vs. Vicki.’ And it’s not something that I’m excited about. It’s not something that should’ve happened.”
Shannon further added that she and Vicki have not really spoken since filming the season, which means that they will have to talk about the demise of their friendship on the reunion show.
“No, it is not resolved. Clearly it will have to be [talked about on the reunion show]. We are filming the reunion next week so clearly it will be discussed. You know what, I’ve seen her a few times for things related to the show and we texted just a couple of brief times but what’s best for me, with what I’m dealing with in my life, what I have been dealing with, is I go dark. I don’t need all this stuff in my life. I don’t need all this added drama that makes no sense to me so I just, I shut it down. There’s no need for me to talk to her if I’m going to keep getting accused of not being a good friend and drinking…drinking the Kool-Aid…What kind of Kool-Aid is that? I don’t get that.”
Vicki Gunvalson seems ready for the fights that she’ll have on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 reunion show. As previously reported by the Inquisitr , Vicki posted a quote about getting back up to fight after crying, a clear reference to her tearful scene with Shannon Beador.
