Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson has announced that she is returning to the show, and filming for Season 11 is officially underway. However, despite Vicki’s desire to move on from things regarding her ex Brooks Ayers, more than one inside source has it that the current cast isn’t on board with that. In addition, a friend close to Vicki says that she is thinking about getting in touch with her ex to fix their relationship.
“Vicki has been given hell about Brooks this season by the cast,” one source shared with Real Mr. Housewife . “They are not relenting and want her to own up to lies she told.”
Another source points to Vicki’s social media activity, saying that the RHOC star continues to insist that she was not involved in any lies. But despite her insistence, the cast continues to badger her.
Of course, the drama surrounding Vicki was only compounded when she and Shannon Beador’s husband David got into an explosive argument during a 70s-themed party for Season 11.
“Recently, much of the cast attended a 70’s themed party where there was an epic showdown between Vicki and David. The situation is worse than what is being described on the Internet, David really went after her and everyone who witnessed it was in shock over the entire situation,” a source shared to Nelly Boi, states Fashion and Style .
During the heated exchange, David torched Vicki Gunvalson with numerous accusations and went as far as calling her a pig. Afterwards, rumors of the fight began to swirl online, and it didn’t take long for Vicki to address it, dissing David in the process.
“Now I know how he talks to his wife. #unacceptable!” Vicki tweeted.
Lizzie Rosvek, who was a full-time cast member during Season 9 and part-time for Seasons 10 and 11, also joined the conversation.
“Messy & desperate,” Lizzie tweeted.
Rumors also suggested that David initiated the fight because of the lack of storyline he and his wife Shannon were getting for the upcoming Season 11.
Some of the accusations that David lashed out with Vicki was that she paid her ex Brooks off to “stay quiet and stop talking.” As a result of the fallout of the fight, a source reveals that Vicki is ready to call upon Brooks to help out.
“Vicki is contemplating asking Brooks to help her out and say something that will put rumors to rest once and for all.”
However, another insider stated that the likeliness of Vicki having Brooks help out in the situation is next to none.
“Brooks has completely moved on with his life,” the insider said. “He has a new girlfriend, is happy, and wants nothing to do with Vicki.”
Meanwhile, with the show to date is going on ten years with season one of the original Housewife show premiering on March 21, 2006.
Vicki Gunvalson was a part of the original cast along with Jo De La Rosa, Lauri Peterson, and Jeana Keough. In speaking with Entertainment Weekly recently, the cast members revealed how they thought the show would pan out.
“I really never thought it was going to amount to anything,” Vicki said, with De La Rose adding, “Reality wasn’t a thing back then. It was a very foreign concept to me.”
“I must have had a screw loose,” Vicki added about joining the show. “It was going to be about college kids living this privileged life and living behind the gates.”
Ten years later and Vicki is still a staple on the show, and so is the drama that surrounds her.
