In a dramatic finale to the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion, Vicki Gunvalson stole the show with an emotional breakdown. Just hours before the much-anticipated third installment aired on December 26, host Andy Cohen teased fans on Twitter, stating, “You do not want to miss part 3 of the #RHOC reunion tonight,” and he was right.
This episode was particularly notable for Vicki, a veteran of the series since its inception, who faced a demotion to “friend of” throughout Season 14. Leading up to this reunion, rumors circulated that she would return as a full-time cast member for Season 15. However, her tumultuous relationship with the producers, including Andy, seemed to suggest otherwise.
During the episode, Andy told Vicki, “If you don’t want to be on the show, you don’t have to stay on the show.” This comment prompted Vicki to storm off stage, leading Gina Kirschenheiter to quip, “Bye, Queen Victoria.” Clearly rattled by her premature exit, Vicki confronted a producer backstage, asking, “Why am I getting off the show?” to which the producer calmly replied, “It was the end of the segment.” Vicki, feeling belittled, shot back, “I’m like a lap dog.”
But that was just the beginning of her explosive reaction. Vicki continued to vent, declaring, “It pisses me off, that Brauwnyn; it bugs me,” and stating, “They can go f*** themselves.” She also noted that the other women were cheering as she left, asserting, “I started this before you were there. I’m a longer friend than anyone. I don’t think I’m just a friend.” Brauwnyn didn’t hold back either, labeling Vicki as “self-righteous” during this chaotic episode.
In her dressing room, Vicki lamented to her fiancé, Steve Lodge, “We needed to elevate this cast. I’m embarrassed by it.” After spotting a cameraman, she lashed out, yelling, “Really? F*** off!” The grand finale of her dramatic outburst? Slamming the door behind her.
The reaction from viewers on Twitter was swift and fierce, with many joining in the “Goodbye, Vicki” chorus. As for her potential return to the show, Bravo has yet to confirm any rumors, leaving fans questioning how she could possibly rejoin the cast after such a spectacle.
