  • Vicki Gunvalson’s Ex Wins Lawsuit Filed Over Alleged Hitman Hire

    Vicki Gunvalson’s ex, Brooks Ayers, has reportedly won a lawsuit filed against him by former business partner Robert Williamson III, after a judge found Ayers innocent of Williamson’s claims of hiring a hitman to off him.

    Williamson and Ayers were in business together with Gunvalson to create a line of vodka, but the project quickly fell apart after the two men began to bicker over one another’s involvement. Williamson soon filed a suit against Ayers for breach of contract, fraud, and for allegedly hiring a hitman, but a judge found that there was no basis for the claims and threw out the lawsuit, ordering Williamson to pay for Ayers’ attorney fees.

    “Brooks prevailed in every way in his case. It’s interesting that people question his integrity and sincerity, when the courts of law have consistently ruled in his favor and proven that what he says is true,” said Ayers’ attorney Sean Reis.

    There is currently another lawsuit in progress against Vicki Gunvalson, the Real Housewives of Orange County star who dated Ayers throughout his claims that he had cancer, for abandoning the vodka brand. Gunvalson has maintained that she didn’t know Ayers wasn’t being truthful about his illness until he admitted that he forged documents from a hospital, but her co-stars haven’t been sure what to make of the ordeal.

    Gunvalson has seen several of her relationships sour in the wake of her time with Ayers, including the one she shares with daughter Briana, who claimed early on that Brooks hit on her and was faking an illness despite what her mother wanted to believe. However, Briana is reportedly going to move back to Orange County soon, where she’ll be close to Vicki, and the reality star shared a photo recently of a gift she received in the mail from Briana: a Christmas ornament representing her two grandsons.

  • Brooks Ayers May Have Made Himself Sick To Back Up Cancer Claims, Vicki Gunvalson Says

    Brooks Ayers has been in the headlines for months now due to his claims that he has been battling cancer–and undergoing chemotherapy–despite a lack of evidence for any of it. Now, his ex, Real Housewife Vicki Gunvalson, says she thinks it’s possible that he made himself ill in order to keep up the ruse that he was very sick.

    Ayers was allegedly caught in a lie about having cancer by Gunvalson’s daughter, who says he also hit on her at a party with her mother in the next room. Ayers has denied every accusation leveled against him, but Vicki says there are ways he could have faked it.

    “I actually contacted a couple of people and they said you can actually take eye drops and they can make you violently ill. I don’t know if he did that, that’s pretty sick, but I witnessed him with fevers and night sweats and chills. He lost 42 pounds in three months,” Vicki said.

    Brooks Ayers’ claims were partially responsible for driving a wedge between Vicki and her daughter, Briana, who said earlier this year that when she first met Ayers he told her he had pancreatic cancer, then quickly changed his tune when he realized she had nursing experience and said it was pancreatitis. Ayers, meanwhile, says that Briana and the other Real Housewives–some of whom haven’t trusted him since the beginning–are just stirring up drama.

    “I think they do it to create drama. It’s useless drama that brings on stress that quite frankly no one needs and in particular my situation. I’m not running from anything,” Ayers said.

    As for Vicki, she says she doesn’t believe anything he says and just wants him to stay away.

    “I never want to see him or speak of his name again. I want him out of my life. My family is finally coming full circle,” Vicki said of Brooks.

  • Heather Dubrow Demands Answers from Vicki Gunvalson About Brooks Ayers

    Heather Dubrow of the Real Housewives of Orange County is demanding answers from cast mate Vicki Gunvalson about former boyfriend Brooks Ayers. She wants to know exactly when Gunvalson learned that Brooks Ayers was lying about having cancer.

    On Wednesday, Brooks Ayers issued an apology–but not for lying about having cancer. He claims he falsified documents “proving” he had cancer so those on RHOC would stop doubting him.

    Heather Dubrow discussed the situation with E! News in an interview that aired Thursday night.

    “The root of it is, Brooks is proven to be a con man. Tamra [Judge] has said this for years. I didn’t believe it until this year; now I see it. But the question for Tamra and Shannon [Beador] and Meghan [King Edmonds] and myself is now Vicki’s involvement in it, and when did she know? Because that’s…You know, he doesn’t affect us. He is who he is. He’s gone from all of our lives, I’m happy to say,” Heather Dubrow says in the interview. “But Vicki is in our lives. And when did she know? I think I said in the reunion, ‘We all agree he doesn’t have cancer but when did you find out?’ I said to her. So, I mean, those are the questions.”

    These are very valid questions indeed–the kind that friends deserve to have answered. Did Vicki Gunvalson ruin many friendships by going along with some of Brooks Ayers lives?

    Will Heather Dubrow get the answers she needs from Vicki Gunvalson?

    If not, it will be abundantly clear that these friendships didn’t mean to her what they meant to her costars.

  • Vicki Gunvalson Gets Proof Brooks Ayers Lied About Cancer Treatments

    Vicki Gunvalson has finally gotten proof that ex-boyfriend Brooks Ayers lied to her about receiving cancer treatments at the City of Hope National Medical Center in Los Angeles. The Real Housewives of Orange County star didn’t want to believe he had lied to her and others about having cancer, but more and more discrepancies in his story kept cropping up.

    Tami Dennis is the Executive Director of Communications at City of Hope. She confirmed to Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday that Brooks Ayers hasn’t been getting cancer treatments there.

    “City of Hope has not provided any cancer treatment to anyone by the name of David Brooks Ayers,” Dennis confirmed.

    Soon after word about this proof hit the media, Twitter lit up with questions and comments. Vicki Gunvalson responded to one Twitter user.

    Another user accused Vicki Gunvalson of lying, and said Bravo would be “crazy to keep her.”

    Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers broke up in August, yet she has still come under fire for sticking up for him and his claims that he has cancer. Gunvalson’s daughter always had doubts. Now she, too, has proof she wasn’t crazy for doubting his claims.

    “To this day, I definitely had red flags,” Vicki Gunvalson admitted on a recent show. “I do not have evidence that he does not have cancer. I don’t have any evidence that he does.”

    Will this proof finally end the question of whether or not Brooks Ayers lied? How long will it take for people to forgive Vicki Gunvalson for having lied for him?

  • Vicki Gunvalson Calls Brooks Ayers “Sick” After Hospital Reportedly Exposes Him As A Liar

    Vicki Gunvalson took to Twitter this week to respond to some fans who were wondering if she’s had any contact with ex Brooks Ayers following the revelation that he never sought treatment for cancer at City Of Hope National Medical Center as he claims he did.

    The Real Housewives star says she believed him because she loved him and never would have dreamed he would lie to her, but now she realizes he has issues.

    I don’t talk to him nor will I ever speak to him again. This man is sick…I am not the one who was untruthful. I loved a man and believed him just the way they believe their spouses,” Gunvalson said.

    Vicki also took to the social media site to thank her fans for supporting her earlier this month.

    Ayers reportedly claimed in 2013 that he was diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkins lymphoma, and after showing signs of a miraculous recovery, he said it was due to alternative medicine. But right away, Gunvalson’s daughter Briana smelled something suspicious. She said during a Real Housewives reunion earlier this year that Brooks hit on her at a party and was essentially busted in a lie about having cancer–he later changed his tune to her, saying it was pancreatitis–but when she tried to warn her mom, Vicki wasn’t hearing it. The incident caused a rift between the two of them and led to Ayers saying in an interview that the women on the show were causing problems where there weren’t any because they craved the drama.

    “I think they do it to create drama. It’s useless drama that brings on stress that quite frankly no one needs and in particular my situation. I’m not running from anything,” Ayers said.

    However, the hospital where he claimed to have received treatment has now issued a statement, saying they never saw Ayers.

    “City of Hope has not provided any cancer treatment to anyone by the name of David Brooks Ayers,” said Tami Dennis, Executive Director of Communications.

  • Heather Dubrow: Vicki Gunvalson Hurting “Real Housewives of Orange County” Brand

    Heather Dubrow is no fan of Vicki Gunvalson. In fact, she thinks Gunvalson is hurting the Real Housewives of Orange County brand with her fabrications.

    The specific scenario to which Dubrow points is Vicki Gunvalson’s recent lie about calling Heather Dubrow’s husband to treat Brooks Ayers with an IV following his alleged cancer diagnosis. On the recent reunion show–that aired Sunday–Gunvalson admitted she lied. She said she never called Heather Dubrow’s husband and that her gut was telling her Brooks Ayers doesn’t really have cancer.

    “I have tried to give her every opportunity to be a supportive person for her,” Heather Dubrow told RHOC cast mates Tamra Barney Judge and Shannon Beador during her new podcast, Heather Dubrow’s World. “I am very disappointed. Why I think this show was so good this season was it was authentic relationships and true storylines. I don’t want to be on a show that is nothing less than authentic. It hurts us all.”

    Dubrow is disgusted.

    “I have no interest in filming with her,” she said.

    “I think when someone comes into a reality show fabricating their reality it damages my authenticity and my credibility,” Shannon Beador added. “I think it damages basally the whole concept of reality television. So I have a huge problem returning and filming with someone who is not truthful.”

    Heather Dubrow admitted she was among those who want Vicki Gunvalson gone for good from RHOC.

    “There is this story bandying about right now that we–meaning the three of us and Meghan (Edmonds)–are banding together so we’re refusing to film with Vicki and we’re going to push her out,” she explained said. “I’m one of the people. I know we have not had a conversation. That has not happened.”

    Do you agree with Heather Dubrow that Vicki Gunvalson has hurt the RHOC brand?

    Do you think reality shows truly display “reality,” though?

  • Vicki Gunvalson Admits She Lied About Brooks Ayers’ Cancer

    Vicki Gunvalson admitted she lied about Brooks Ayers’ cancer on Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion. The admission may not be what you think, however.

    It wasn’t over whether or not Ayers has cancer that Vicki Gunvalson came clean, but rather that she lied about his purported illness in order to get some attention for herself.

    The scenario in question involved a fabricated story about calling Ayers’ doctor, telling him to treat Brooks with an IV during a sick spell.

    “I fabricated it because I really was looking for compassion,” she said.

    Ayers’ supposed illness and his treatment of Vicki Gunvalson has been a huge point of contention among her friends and family members. Daughter Briana Culberson did nothing to hide her disdain for the man throughout his entire relationship with her mother.

    Sadly, after making this one admission, Vicki Gunvalson fast learned it opened the door for even more questions.

    “Why?” Tamra Judge asked.

    Despite this one admission, Vicki Gunvalson admits she still thinks Brooks is sick.

    “I still believe he has cancer,” she says.

    Can this woman not see the writing on that proverbial wall? She’s been played–and hard, too. Brooks Ayers has mistreated Vicki Gunvalson and taken advantage of her ability to look the other way. Then when she needed him most, he dumped her.

    What’s your take on Sunday night’s RHOC episode? Do you think Vicki Gunvalson is any closer to admitting she thinks Brooks Ayers is lying about his cancer?

  • Vicki Gunvalson And Brooks Ayers Both Speak About The Real Reason Behind Their Split

    The highlight of this season’s Real Housewives of Orange County is arguably the sudden breakup of reality star Vicki Gunvalson and businessman Brooks Ayers. So much controversy hounded their relationship that one would think that this could be the best decision for both of them.

    Ayers sat down with Melanie Bromley of E! News and answered questions about the downfall of his romance with Gunvalson. The biggest issue of their relationship was his alleged battle with cancer, a storyline that many of Gunvalson’s friends on the show refuse to believe.

    Ayers was adamant about his medical condition and insisted that he never faked it. He also shared that he and Gunvalson attended couple’s therapy in the hopes of saving their relationship.

    When asked to set the record straight about these lying allegations, Ayers answered, “Absolutely I’m sticking by that.”

    “Unfortunately, I wish it wasn’t true. It would be a lot easier if I didn’t have cancer just to be honest with you. The daily grind, the routines of reminding yourself that I’m sick and I need to do certain things and not do certain things,” he added.

    Meanwhile, Gunvalson chatted with Andy Cohen on his show, Watch What Happens Live, where she was also grilled about the real reason behind her breakup with Ayers.

    “There were a lot of things. I just think that the conflict with Briana, and him and I and him being from the South, he really wanted to go back to the South, and I just think the stress of the show, and he’s sick, and at the end of the day it just didn’t work anymore,” she answered.

    She added that while a long-term relationship with Ayers did not seem likely, their short-term romance was “amazing.”

    Vicki Gunvalson also commented about her friendships with her RHOC cast mates. She said that she felt like they were “not there for me” and that she didn’t feel the support she needed from them while she was going through her tumultuous relationship with Ayers.

  • Vicki Gunvalson Shares Scoop on Brooks Ayers, Shannon Beador in New Blog Post

    Vicki Gunvalson spilled her guts in a recent blog post. The former Real Housewives of Orange County star defended herself in the post, too.

    “As I write this blog, I have so many mixed emotions, but mostly it’s sadness and betrayal,” Vicki Gunvalson shared on Friday. “The constant subject line of Brooks’ cancer, his choice of treatment, and if he was ‘faking’ it or not has gotten out of control. My stance is I do not believe he faked cancer, as there are way too many people involved, way too many doctor visits and way too many doctor reports which would be very difficult to falsify. As I said at the reunion, I didn’t have enough information that he does have cancer, and I didn’t have enough information that he doesn’t.”

    Brooks Ayers and Vicki Gunvalson broke up for the second time in August.

    While she still remains she’s responsible for nothing that happened during the recent filming of the reunion show–as well as for the way people left the filming feeling–Vicki Gunvalson admits she might have handled things better.

    “Hindsight,” she wrote. “I didn’t handle things always in the calmest manner which I am sorry for that, but I was extremely frustrated having to always be questioned about him.”

    Vicki Gunvalson is as frustrated with the way things wound up with Shannon Beador as she is about the situation with Brooks Ayers.

    “I never betrayed her, she was just embarrassed that it was exposed again when it was supposed to be about badgering me,” she wrote. “I knew what David and Shannon shared this season, and it was Shannon’s decision to reveal the affair so I didn’t think it was a secret to tell my brother. All the ladies already knew, so for me to tell my brother privately was NOT betraying her.”

    Vicki Gunvalson says it was Tamra Judge who shared word of the very uncomfortable situation involving Shannon and David Beador.

    “What you don’t know is that last year Tamra actually told the group about David’s affair at a dinner we were all at, and even disclosed the woman’s name and information about her. Bottom line here is Shannon knew that Heather, Tamra, and Lizzie all knew and by me telling my brother privately in my home was not any secret,” she wrote.

    Has Vicki Gunvalson cleared up anything in Friday’s blog post–or has she perhaps made things even worse than they were before?

    What’s with these RHOC people? Do any of them know when to keep their mouths–or their keyboards–shut?

  • Vicki Gunvalson Dumps Boyfriend Brooks Ayers, He May Have Lied About Having Cancer

    Viewers can still expect to see Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers as a couple in season 10 of The Real Housewives of Orange County although their on-and-off relationship has finally ended.

    Vicki and Brooks had been together for four years but the relationship had always been tumultuous. Vicki’s daughter, Briana, and co-star Tamra Judge questioned Brooks even when he and Vicki had just started dating.

    Reportedly, Vicki finally broke up with Brooks because of his false medical records indicating he has cancer. He was accused of falsifying documents of his diagnosis and treatment.

    An oncologist who reviewed Brooks’ medical records added that the papers were not an authentic proof of cancer.

    But despite their recent break up, Vicki is still defending Brooks and is claiming he does have cancer and their breakup was due to their differences.

    “We were unequally yoked on many levels,” Vicki said recently. “We looked at our futures and realized we were good for right now, but not for a lifetime. We haven’t talked for a long time.”

    In fact, Vicki even supported Brooks when he was dealing with his cancer after they broke up for the first time in 2013.

    “[Cancer] either will tear you apart as a couple or bring you together. And with us, without a doubt, it’s brought us together,” Brooks told Us Weekly.

    Vicki and Brooks’ lie about his alleged cancer infuriated Meghan Edmonds, which she shared in her blog post. People also started to question if Vicki knew what Brooks had done.

    “It blows my mind that Vicki continues to relentlessly defend herself and Brooks,” Meghan said. “All of the evidence is there yet she’s completely throwing religion in our faces as if we are bad people. How can she possibly keep portraying herself as a victim when all of this evidence is adding up against them?”

    Vicki’s replied to her statement by saying, “I have never lied about cancer or one’s diagnosis nor would I ever. I fear God and the truth will always set one free.”

  • Vicki Gunvalson’s Daughter Briana Culberson Threatens Brooks Ayers’ Life If He’s Lying About Cancer Diagnosis

    Vicki Gunvalson seems to think Satan is behind Brooks Ayers cancer diagnosis controversy and her daughter Briana Culberson says she is ready to kill Ayers if it comes to light that he is indeed lying about his illness.

    As People magazine pointed out, things turned even more dramatic for The Real Housewives of Orange County on Monday’s episode.

    Gunvalson, who decided to go on a detox retreat to clear her head over the scandal, maintains that she believes that Brooks has cancer and says the ladies’ speculation about the diagnosis comes from the devil.

    “When is enough enough?” she asked the camera. “He’s got cancer.”

    Daughter Brianna Culberson does not buy into Ayers claim that he has the deadly disease.

    In fact, Culberson and her family think there is something weird going on and only decided to stay at the family home during their Orange County vacation because Ayers was away on business. They noted the bad vibes that seem to linger in the house despite his absence.

    “It feels heavy and uncomfortable and there’s just kind of a nasty feeling when you walk in the door,” Culberson told her husband, Ryan – who made a comment himself about the “weird musk” left by Ayers’ presence.

    Briana later clarified her feelings for the camera: “There is absolutely nothing Brooks can do for me to accept him.”

    After several more discussions about the “illness,” Briana made her feelings very clear about what will happen if it turns out he is lying.

    “I’ll kill him. I’ll kill him myself,” Briana said. “Well she’s gonna find out … or he’s just going to be ‘cured’ one day.”

    As a nurse, Briana told Tamra that some of what Ayers has said about his treatment sounds strange.

    On the way to Tamra Judge’s baptism, Gunvalson agains brought up religion, saying the doubt over Ayers claims is demonic.

    “The truth is always the truth,” she said during the ride over to the baptism, adding, “Satan loves confusion. This is Satan’s work.”

    Despite her certainty that Ayers is telling the truth, the women seemed dumbfounded over Gunvalson’s passionate defense of Ayers.

    Shannon Beador, who seems to be the most worried, said, “The possibility that I’m being duped by Vicki is crushing to me.”

    She then added, “Vicki Gunvalson might not be as good of a friend as I thought.”

    The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Mondays (9 p.m. ET) on Bravo.

  • Vicki Gunvalson Goes to Detox Retreat As Brooks Ayers’ Cancer Drama Heats Up

    Vicki Gunvalson and some of her pals enjoyed a spa getaway that included a detox retreat this weekend. It was the perfect kind of rest and relaxation for the Real Housewives of Orange County star as the drama over ex-boyfriend Brooks Ayers’ cancer scandal heats up. Detox treatments are known to be good for the body, mind, and the soul, and Vicki Gunvalson likely needs some help in all three areas.

    “The start of our detox retreat at @bacararesortsb with @skyranchfitness and @clubdetox_oc. Yoga, meditation, hiking, massage and healthy eating is what’s in store for me this weekend,” she captioned the photo that showed her looking happy in a black evening dress.

    Vicki Gunvalson also shared a shot of some of the healthy food she ate at her detox retreat.

    “Great way to start the morning before my hike @bacararesortsb, @clubdetox_oc, @marisakenson, #healthyeating, #freshberries, #detox, #juicing,” she captioned it.

    Just prior to attended her detox retreat, Vicki Gunvalson taped the season nine reunion of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Some sources report she won’t be returning for the show’s tenth season.

    Meanwhile Vicki Gunvalson’s ex, Brooks Ayers, is cashing in on her name. He has traveled to New York to do an interview with Andy Cohen, but won’t share with Vicki what is was about. She is beginning to believe–as some of her costars have long believed–that Ayers might be faking his cancer.

    Kudos to Vicki for treating herself to this weekend away. Stress can cause all sorts of toxins to invade the body, and she’s been under more than her fair share of late.

  • Vicki Gunvalson: Has Her Time on “Real Housewives of Orange County” Come to an End?

    Vicki Gunvalson has reportedly quit The Real Housewives of Orange County, purportedly bringing to an end 10 seasons of drama.

    It was only a couple of weeks ago that Gunvalson threatened to quit the show. Now some believe she actually made good on that threat.

    Turning to Instagram to share her news, Vicki Gunvalson captioned a photo of herself with her cast mates, writing, “Thanks ladies for taking me to dinner tonight. What a shocking season finale. Glad it’s over. Time to move on to a bigger and brighter future. Love you girls.”

    Prior to this announcement, Gunvalson filmed the season 10 reunion of RHOC.

    It hasn’t been an easy few months for Vicki Gunvalson. Her mom died, then just months later she was dumped by Brooks Ayers. Brooks is doing everything he can to cash in on his time with Vicki, too. He has taped secret interviews, sharing his side of what most believe to be a scheme he has in place to fake having cancer.

    Bravo flew Ayers to New York City to film an interview with Andy Cohen.

    “Not only did they fly him first class to New York and put him up in a very nice hotel, but they also paid him $10,000!” a source told the Radar. “The whole thing lasted about four hours.”

    “Bravo had wanted Brooks to come to the reunion taping, but he refused. There was no way he was going to go into that hornets’ nest,” the source adds.

    Just prior to Vicki Gunvalson appearing for the taping of the RHOC reunion, a source told the publication that she is devastated by what went on at the interview in New York.

    “Vicki just feels so betrayed that Brooks chose a payday over her, and is refusing to tell her anything about the interview. She stood up for him, and doesn’t want to look like a fool to her fans.”

    Do you think Vicki Gunvalson really quit The Real Housewives of Orange County? Can the show survive if that’s the case?

  • Brooks Ayers–Vicki Gunvalson’s Ex–Maintains He Has Cancer, Meghan King Edmonds Says No Way

    Brooks Ayers latched on to Vicki Gunvalson and became part of the Real Housewives of Orange County cast. Since their split in August, he has made money off his former relationship in the form of interviews and appearances.

    Supposedly diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma back in 2013, some of the RHOC cast mates think he is faking. One of them has publicly spoken out about her beliefs. Brooks Ayers has threatened to file a defamation lawsuit against her for speaking out about his purported illness. Meghan King Edmonds received a letter from Brooks Ayers’ lawyer, and was told to issue a formal apology–something she refuses to do.

    “I am waiting patiently on my official documents that I’m being sued,” Edmonds says during an interview with People magazine. “I already got one letter threatening to sue if I don’t comply with his requests, including one to issue a formal public apology.”

    The letter says she was to respond by this past Wednesday evening, or else Brooks Ayers and his attorney would pursue legal action. That deadline has come and gone, but Edmonds says she isn’t worried.

    “I didn’t respond on purpose, because he’s full of crap and doesn’t have a case. So now I’m waiting to be sued,” Edmonds says. “He won’t. He knows he’s a liar and he’s pissed off at me and made a feeble attempt to intimidate me into not talking. When really, it’s so ridiculous I simply laughed it off. He doesn’t have the balls to sue me.”

    In addition to Meghan King Edmonds, Tamra Judge has also questioned Brooks Ayers’ illness.

    Brooks Ayers, however, maintains he does–in fact–have cancer.

    “I think they do it to create drama,” Ayers told Entertainment Tonight of the cast’s accusations regarding his illness. “It’s useless drama that brings on stress that quite frankly no one needs and in particular my situation. I’m not running from anything.”

    A new report claims ex Vicki Gunvalson no longer believes Brooks Ayers has cancer either.

    Do you think Brooks Ayers is truly sick? What kind of person would go on TV and claim to have cancer if he didn’t?

    Obviously one who is sick in an entirely different way.

    Will Brooks Ayers go through with his threat to sue Meghan King Edmonds?

  • Vicki Gunvalson Reportedly Quits ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’

    Vicki Gunvalson has had a rough couple of weeks.

    The Real Housewives of Orange County reality star recently broke up with Brooks Ayers just months after the death of her mother and now it seems he is secretly cashing in on his connection with Gunvalson.

    According to RadarOnline, Gunvalson’s ex has making bank by telling his side of his cancer lies in secret interviews.

    And now, it appears that Gunvalson has quit the show.

    According to the Inqusitr, following filming of the Season 10 finale, Gunvalson, who is the longest-running star of The Real Housewives of Orange County, took to her Instagram account, where she wrote, “What a shocking season finale. Glad it’s over. Time to move on to a bigger and brighter future.”

    The Real Housewives of Orange County has yet to be renewed for an 11th season, and if Vicki Gunvalson did indeed quit, it would be highly unlikely the show would go on.

    LALATE.com reports that two seasons ago, Vicki Gunvalson, who reportedly makes $850,000 per season, told them that RHOC producers told her that she would lose her housewife status if she refused to film without Brooks.

    This comes closely on the heels of news that Brooks Ayers traveled to New York to film a secret interview with Andy Cohen about his cancer scandal.

    Bravo apparently paid for the trip although Brooks was never an official cast member.

    “Not only did they fly him first class to New York and put him up in a very nice hotel, but they also paid him $10,000!” a source told the publication. “The whole thing lasted about four hours.”

    “Bravo had wanted Brooks to come to the reunion taping, but he refused. There was no way he was going to go into that hornets’ nest,” the source adds.

    Before Vicki Gunvalson appeared at Friday’s taping of the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion show, a source told RadarOnline that the reality star is hurt by what transpired in New York.

    “Vicki just feels so betrayed that Brooks chose a payday over her, and is refusing to tell her anything about the interview. She stood up for him, and doesn’t want to look like a fool to her fans.”

    Only time will tell if Vicki Gunvalson really did quit RHOC on Friday. What do you think? Is it time for her to move on?

  • Vicki Gunvalson: Is Ex Brooks Ayers Making Money from Their Former Connection?

    Vicki Gunvalson might be getting doubly shafted by ex Brooks Ayers. In addition to breaking up with her just months after her mom died, he is reportedly making money from her status as part of the Real Housewives of Orange County cast.

    RadarOnline says that since Ayers broke things off with Vicki Gunvalson, he’s been cashing in on secret interviews.

    It was just last month–about a month after he and Vicki Gunvalson broke up–that Brooks Ayers traveled to New York to film a secret interview with Andy Cohen about his cancer scandal. Bravo foot the bill–even though Brooks was never an official cast member. He was only on the show because of his connection with Vicki Gunvalson.

    “Not only did they fly him first class to New York and put him up in a very nice hotel, but they also paid him $10,000!” an source tells the publication. “The whole thing lasted about four hours.”

    “Bravo had wanted Brooks to come to the reunion taping, but he refused. There was no way he was going to go into that hornets’ nest,” the source adds.

    Vicki Gunvalson was set to appear at a taping on Friday for a Real Housewives of Orange County reunion show.

    She “has no idea what she is walking into because Andy and Brooks have refused to tell her what was discussed,” the source says.

    “Vicki just feels so betrayed that Brooks chose a payday over her, and is refusing to tell her anything about the interview. She stood up for him, and doesn’t want to look like a fool to her fans.”

    Is this the ultimate betrayal of Vicki Gunvalson at the hands of Brooks Ayers?

    Will she have the last laugh? Tamra Judge is, after all, still trying to prove that he doesn’t really have cancer.

    Might Vicki Gunvalson eventually see Brooks take a mighty fall?

  • Brooks Ayers, Vicki Gunvalson Face Cancer Together

    Brooks Ayers recently revealed to his girlfriend, Real Housewives veteran Vicki Gunvalson, that he has stage three cancer.

    Vicki admitted that when Brooks Ayers broke the news to her, she “just burst into tears.”

    In a joint interview with Us Weekly, the on-again-off-again couple spoke of the struggle they now face and how they plan to face it together.

    Brooks Ayers has non-Hodgkin lymphoma for the third time since first fighting it back in 2009.

    The couple revealed that they are now living together and have been dating for a year with no off-again time.

    MSU Football weekend. It's cold, but the people here are so WARM and welcoming. #thankyou, #gobulldogs

    A photo posted by Vicki Gunvalson (@vickigunvalson) on

    “[Cancer] either will tear you apart as a couple or bring you together. And with us, without a doubt, it’s brought us together,” Brooks Ayers explained.

    Gunvalson chimed in, “So, yes, we are exclusive, we are dating, we are together. It’s official.”

    Gunvalson’s daughter, Briana, has always taken issue with Brooks Ayers and that might possibly be a thorn in the side of the couple. However, they don’t seem to be too bothered by it now that they have much bigger issues to deal with.

    “Briana and I, we’ve kind of agreed to disagree on this one subject,” Gunvalson said.

    In fact, she didn’t even know that Brooks Ayers is living with her mother.

    Vicki said, “She doesn’t know Brooks is in, but I guess she will now!”

    That little bit may not help matters, but at least Brooks Ayers is ready to try and make things right with Briana.

    Brooks Ayers said he is “ready and willing” to make peace with Vicki’s daughter, should he be “given the appropriate opportunity to apologize to her, face to face.”

    “She deserves that,” he added.

  • Vicki Gunvalson Opens Up About Brooks Ayers’ Cancer

    Vicki Gunvalson hasn’t said much about Brooks Ayers’ cancer since he was diagnosed in 2013, but now that it has advanced, she has finally opened up and shared her feelings about it.

    “I am very sad about the recent diagnosis of Brooks’ cancer reoccurrence,” she told People in a statement.

    “It really puts life in perspective and makes you realize how important health, family and friends are during this time,” she added. “Thank you for respecting his privacy and for all your thoughts and prayers for Brooks during this time.”

    Vicki and Brooks have been dating on and off for over four years and have a very special bond and relationship even though they are not currently together.

    Brooks was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma last year and received a lot of support from his friends and fans. He began treatment but the cancer has gotten worse and it is now in stage three. Ayers is still determined to kick it and thanked everyone for their support.

    “I appreciate the prayers, support, and positive vibes from anyone who would wish to send them. Let me assure you that I am going to remain positive and continue to battle this disease vigorously with much tenacity along with seeking the appropriate medical care,” Ayers told Radar Online at the time of his diagnosis.

    “Finally, please respect my family’s privacy in this matter as we walk through this challenging time. I am determined to fight this horrible disease and am surrounded by love and support from people who truly care about me,” Ayers added.

    Hopefully Vicki will continue to support Brooks during his illness and hopefully he is able to beat the nasty disease.

    According to Radar Online, Ayers was first diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the fall of 2013. Since then, his cancer has become more advanced and is now stage three.

    “I appreciate the prayers, support, and positive vibes from anyone who would wish to send them.

    “I am determined to fight this horrible disease and am surrounded by love and support from people who truly care about me,” Ayers added.

    Vicki, who dated Ayers on and off for years, said she is deeply saddened to hear of his latest prognosis. “I am very sad about the recent diagnosis of Brooks’s cancer reoccurrence,” she told People in a statement.

    “It really puts life in perspective and makes you realize how important health, family and friends are during this time,” she added. “Thank you for respecting his privacy and for all your thoughts and prayers for Brooks during this time.”

  • Vicki Gunvalson Addresses Brooks Cheating Rumors

    There are a lot of rumors surrounding the cast of The Real Housewives Of Orange County, but the ladies try to ignore most of them. One rumor that Vicki Gunvalson refuses to ignore claims that Brooks cheated on her.

    The rumors started when a video that allegedly shows Brooks sleeping with another woman, turned up.

    The sex tape caused a stir on social media sites and shocked her fans.

    While Vicki’s fans may have been shocked by the tape, Vicki herself wasn’t and quickly addressed the tape and the rumors.

    “I was told that the story mentions Brooks dating other women. Brooks can date anyone he wants to. I am not married to Brooks, nor engaged — nor are we living together,” she said to People.


    Although Vicki and Brooks seemed like they were in a committed relationship, Vicki seems to be hinting that they aren’t.

    Just last week she told Andy Cohen that she would be open to dating other people as well and that while she wasn’t necessarily looking for a new man, if someone came along that she was interested in, she would be willing to pursue the new relationship.

    She also added during the interview, “This is the best part about being single. I am open to seeing what else in the world.”

    Gunvalson has been called out about her relationship before and Tamra Barney bullied her about it for much of the last season of The Real Housewives Of Orange County. Gunvalson has always denied that there is a problem.

    Her and Brooks seem to be fine with an open relationship and if it works for them, why question it?

    Vicki Gunvalson: Is She Single Or Taken?

    Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers are a pretty well-known couple, but are they really a couple at all? While Vicki and Brooks have been together for a while now, they have still not confirmed their relationship status and Vicki has said on several occasions that she is willing to date other people.

    “I am open to seeing other people…this is the best part about being single. I am open to seeing what else is in the world,” Vicki said to Andy Cohen in a recent clip from Bravo.

    Vicki later changed her mind and said that she isn’t looking for anyone else to date right now, but if someone were to come into her life and sweep her off her feet, she would be willing to give it a try.

    That comment still doesn’t make it seem like Vicki and Brooks are in a serious relationship or that they are happy together.

    When Vicki talks about Brooks, it seems like she is talking about a business deal instead of a boyfriend or life partner.

    Gunvalson recently bought a new home and said that Brooks is planning to move into it with her. When Cohen asked if she would ask Brooks to help out with the rent she said,

    “Absolutely, and he would have a lease agreement, absolutely,” she said.

    Brooks seemed fine with the idea and even had his own ideas about the lease agreement.

    “Six months down the road, there’s a value on the house, and if I move in, stuff moving forward … three or four years down the road, she sells it … I’m not throwing away rent here,” he said.

    Vicki didn’t seem to be too happy about his opinions, but before the couple could argue, Heather DuBrow offered her advice on the situation, suggesting that Vicki create a lease agreement for any prospective deals.

    “Oh hello, do you think I wouldn’t?” Gunvalson snapped back. “What do you think I do for a living? Finances!”

    Do you think Vicki and Brooks are in a serious relationship or are they more like business partners?
