  • 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?

  • 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?

  • Shannon Beador: “RHOC” Star Calls Out Hubby’s Former Mistress at USC Game

    Shannon Beador was appalled this weekend when hubby David’s former mistress, Nicole McMackin, showed up at the USC game they were attending–making her presence known to the couple and their friends. The Real Housewives of Orange County star slammed McMackin in an Instagram post.

    “Go Trojans! Cheering with good friends!” Shannon Beador captioned her post. “Sorry @tamrajudge couldn’t make it! Someone with no moral compass decided to show up again. Watch reunion part 2 on Monday night and you will understand who I’m talking about. #narcissist #stalker.”

    A source tells Us Weekly that Nicole McMackin was more than obvious when she first arrived at the game–parading in front of Shannon Beador and her husband.

    It was when David and Shannon Beador were leaving the game that the two women came face to face.

    “That’s when Shannon calmly said to Nicole, ‘You have a lot of nerve being here,’” the observer said.

    Shannon Beador’s words were met with a, “F—k you,” from McMackin.

    The altercation continued, infuriating Shannon Beador to the point she returned to her section and yelled, “Nicole is the woman who had an affair with my husband!”

    While that wasn’t exactly a dignified response, what more can you expect from a Real Housewives of Orange County star?

    Nicole McMackin had an eight-months-long affair with Shannon Beador’s husband. Beador found out when she heard her husband whispering while on his cell phone. A little investigating on Shannon Beador’s part told her all she needed–and probably some that she didn’t–to know.

    These days Shannon Beador insists there is love and life, even after infidelity–and she hopes she and her husband can serve as an inspiration to other couples who have experienced what they went through.

    Love my husband! Having an amazing night at the most incredible restaurant @panxacocina #restored #godisgood

    Clearly Shannon Beador has never heard that old adage, “Once a cheater, always a cheater?”

    Will she live to regret her recent words and actions?

  • 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: Daughter Recalls Weird Past Cancer Claims From Brooks Ayers

    Vicki Gunvalson is having trouble convincing her friends and family members that her beau, Brooks Ayers, has cancer, and her daughter revealed on a recent episode of the Real Housewives of Orange County that Ayers told her a while back that he was ill and then changed his story.

    Ayers told Entertainment Tonight earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2013, but right away their co-stars smelled something fishy. When Ayers announced he had gone the route of alternative medicine–and that they had caused his lesions to go away–questions about his authenticity were brought up.

    “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.

    Vicki Gunvalson’s daughter, Briana, went to lunch with Tamra Judge in the recent episode, where they discussed their concerns about whether or not Ayers is being truthful. Briana says that when she first met him, he spoke about having pancreatic cancer but quickly changed his tune–saying it was pancreatitis–when she began to question him. Briana, who is a nurse, says she thinks her mother is siding with Ayers and won’t listen to her family because she doesn’t want to be alone.

    “I think she fights to make something work that shouldn’t work, because she doesn’t want to be alone,” Briana said.

    When Shannon Beador confronted Vicki Gunvalson recently about Ayers claims–saying she thinks they should provide medical documents proving that he is indeed sick–Vicki refused, and since then their friendship has been altered.

    “During that lunch, Shannon should have just been a listening ear and a friend. That is all that Vicki wanted her to be at that moment. Instead, she pushed and pushed when Vicki was really just wanting to have someone to talk to. The only thing that Vicki is really guilty of in all of this is loving Brooks,” a source told Radar Online.

  • 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?

  • Tamra Barney Judge: Cameras Should Have “Shut Down” When Vicki Gunvalson Found Out Her Mom Died

    Tamra Barney Judge has had her moments, good and bad, with Real Housewives of Orange County co-star Vicki Gunvalson.

    However, Tamra Barney was quick to try and protect Gunvalson when she received the fateful phone call that her otherwise healthy mother had passed away suddenly.

    In the heartbreaking incident, cameras caught every second of Gunvalson’s emotional reaction when she found out from her daughter that her mother was gone.

    Tamra Barney Judge didn’t think it was appropriate.

    She said, “At the moment it happened, I thought the cameras should shut down, because it was too sensitive. Vicki was in a state of mind where she didn’t even acknowledge the cameras. Now she has to relive it. She told me her family could not watch it.”

    Thank you @juliusmichael1 for the fun edgy hair and Priscilla @mspriscillanyc the makeup on @bravowwhl

    Now that Tamra Barney Judge and Vicki Gunvalson have had time to recover, they feel better about that moment being shared with the world on RHOC.

    Tamra Barney said, “Vicki said that her life has been on camera for 10 years, and ‘this is something that happened to me, and I’m okay sharing it.’ If she’s okay with it, I guess I’m okay with it.”

    How precious is Ava. She melts my heart .

    Vicki Gunvalson took to her blog to add some sage advice that all should take to heart.

    She said, “It’s been five months since my mom died and there isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t want to pick up the phone to ask her a question or tell her I love her. I miss her so much, but know one day I will be with her in Heaven and at peace. I want to stress the importance of not putting off talking to or spending time with the ones you love. You never know when they will be taken from you.”

    What do you think? Do you agree with Tamra Barney Judge’s initial reaction?

  • Vicki Gunvalson On Shocking Death: “I Don’t Know How I’m Going To Function”

    Vicki Gunvalson suffered a devastating loss while filming a scene for The Real Housewives Of Orange County this season, and the moment aired on Monday night as fans watched Gunvalson collapse from the weight of the news.

    Vicki was at a party at Shannon Beador’s home when she received a phone call that changed her life: her mother had passed away suddenly in her sleep. Because she hadn’t been ill, the death came as a shock and Gunvalson broke down in the kitchen as the other housewives came running in to find out what was going on.

    “I just want my mom back. I want my mom. I have to go see my mom right now. I want to be with my mom. I need her every day. I need her so bad. Who’s going to worry about me? I don’t have parents now. I need my parents. I need my mom,” Vicki said in the heartbreaking clip.

    Vicki was very close with her mother and said she had just spoken to her that morning, with no clue that anything was wrong. She later said that she couldn’t imagine how she was going to function with the loss.

    “I wasn’t ready to stop learning from my mom. I really don’t know how I’m going to function. I need her in my life. I don’t know why we have to die. I’ll miss my mom’s spunk. She had so much love for life. I don’t want this to be real.”

    The episode was filmed in February but just now made it to air, and a devastating clip from the moment Vicki received the phone call began making rounds on the web earlier this year, close to Mother’s Day. Vicki took to Twitter to address the fact that Bravo chose that time to air the clip, saying it was a “terrible thing to relive”. Gunvalson received quite a bit of fan support, however, and took the time to thank everyone for their kind words on Monday night after the show aired.

    “I wanted to take a second to thank each and everyone of you for your kind words this evening. They mean the world to me!” she wrote.

    Vicki Gunvalson and the other housewives have said that this season is one of the most real in terms of the things they go through, with Tamra Judge saying it’s not all about silly drama.

    “I think it’s a really good season this year. We have a birth, my granddaughter, we have a death, we have everything in between. It’s really real life stuff going on. It’s not like, ‘You didn’t invite me to a party! You took my chair!’ It’s not that stuff…” Judge told E! News.

  • Heather Dubrow: ‘RHOC’ Star Body Shamed For Not Having A Boob Job

    In spite of being married to a highly recognized cosmetic surgeon, the Real Housewives of Orange County star Heather Dubrow has never gone under the knife.

    Just recently during a Monday, June 22 interview, Dubrow revealed to Huffpost Live that she has been body shamed for not having done any plastic surgery.

    “Being married to a plastic surgeon, everyone assumes I’ve had everything done, but this is my [real] body and [real] face,” Dubrow said during the interview. “People started body shaming me for not having a chest. I did when I was younger, but after four kids, they suck the life out of you. There’s nothing wrong with [breast implants], but I just can’t do it.”

    Dubrow also recalled in the same interview how a recent Instagram picture of her had haters negatively judging her flat chest.

    “I put a picture of me on Instagram this week, of me and my family in Hawaii, and I was wearing a bikini, and people started body shaming me for not having a chest,” Dubrow told Huffpost Live host Caitlyn Becker.

    When a fan asked the reality star which of her co-stars could use her husband’s service, she offered a safe and kind response saying, “Everyone in our cast looks very good.”

    The housewive believes that there is “nothing wrong” with plastic surgery and she even thinks “it’s fabulous”. However, she will not be lining up for any chest surgeries anytime soon.

    Dubrow also discussed the drama coming soon on the 10th season of RHOC. The reality star stated that the drama will be based on real relationships and not just the petty fights between partners.

    “There is a lot of drama but it’s not superfluous,” said Heather Dubrow.

  • Shannon Beador Found Husband Cheating on April Fools’ Day

    Shannon Beador had to make a decision. Should she tell the world that her husband David had cheated on her? Or should she back out of her hit television show and deal with it on her own?

    It is a problem faced by many who get their fame and fortune on reality TV: Do they tell everything? What happens when the probe gets too deep into territory they really wish would stay hidden?

    Shannon Beador opened the season of The Real Housewives of Orange County by telling fans of the show about the infidelity. She had discovered the affair when she found hotel receipts that told the tale.

    “At the time when it should’ve been the best year of my life, he started an affair,” Beador recalled. “I caught him whispering to this person on the phone and I suspected something was wrong.”

    But Beador kept pressing on, looking for the truth.

    “I knew. I just knew something was different. And I was told I was crazy or I was told I was stupid, and it’s upsetting to me because I knew. It was April 1st — April Fools Day, Shannon — and he was taking the kids to school and I grabbed his briefcase and I saw all the hotel receipts. When he came home, I said, ‘I’m going to ask you one last time: Are you having an affair?’ and he said, ‘Yes, I am.’”

    David moved out for two weeks, but they are still together.

    How did Beador make it through that rough time?

    “After I found out about the infidelity, we had some bumps back and forth and we finally ended up at a place called Couples Retreat,” Beador told Us Magazine. “They have a 90 percent success rate with repairing marriages and we went through the process and it was eye-opening for the both of us and we received some tools that would help us repair our marriage.”

    Repairing a marriage torn by infidelity is not easy for any couple, especially not one that lives its life in the spotlight. Shannon Beador and David had their work cut out for them.

    “Every Saturday night after church we go out to dinner just the two of us and it’s nice,” Beador’s husband David said. “It’s nice to have the alone time. Shannon calls it our ‘reconnection time’…It’s really helped our relationship because previously we never did that.”

    Most people probably would have walked away from the show rather than live that agony out in front of cameras. But Shannon Beador soldiered on.

    “It was a difficult decision coming back to the show because it’s a reality show and we are both honest so we knew we had to address the infidelity as part of what was going on in our lives.”

    But Shannon found a way to take the experience and make it worthwhile. She decided to help other people.

    “What’s important to both of us, as corny as it might sound, is we want to give other couples hope that even if there is infidelity, or something devastating in a relationship, if you both work and make the effort and love each other, you can get out,” Shannon Beador said. “You can get through it and get through in a better position than you started out in.”

    Struggled with the day today. Grateful that I have my husband and family to make everything ok!

  • Shannon Beador: ‘RHOC’ Star Reveals Husband Cheated On Her

    Shannon Beador brought up a shocking revelation in the season 10 premier of The Real Housewives of Orange County — her husband, David, had an affair.

    While on a couple’s retreat, RHOC’s newest recruit turned mournful as she uncovered something about her relationship with David. She acknowledged that her husband of 14 years cheated on her.

    “At the time when it should’ve been the best year of my life, he started an affair”, Shannon admitted during the said couple’s retreat.

    On April Fools’ Day, Shannon found out that her hubby was cheating on her. She caught David whispering to someone else on the phone and became suspicious about what was happening. Later on, she found hotel receipts in his briefcase and he eventually confessed about the affair.

    Before Shannon opened up about the affair, there was someone on the cast of RHOC who knew all about this as well. Tamra Judge confessed her knowledge about the conflict between the two.

    “I knew about this last year, I knew that David was having an affair last year”, Tamra admitted.

    “My relationship with Shannon is good now because she knew I knew last year (about the affair),” said Tamra.

    David had a long-term affair with an unnamed woman which was hidden during the past season of RHOC. Regardless of this fact, the couple still strives to work on their rocky relationship.

    Shannon, however, is staying strong amid the turmoil in her family life. She decided to exclude divorce as an option. “I love my family and I will do whatever it takes to keep my family together,” Shannon said.

    “I remind myself of the commitment that David has made to both me and our family. He has not only made himself accountable to me, but to everyone who watches the show, and for that, I am grateful beyond words,” Shannon noted during their couple’s retreat.

    Shannon has been acting positive despite of all the negative happenings between David and her. She remains hopeful that her marriage will soon be repaired and restored.

  • Shannon Beador Reveals How She Caught Husband Cheating

    Shannon Beador recently revealed that her husband of 14 years, David Beador, had an affair and said the couple are trying to work things out.

    The 49-year old star of The Real Housewives of Orange County told her story on the season 10 premiere this week, saying she caught her husband talking to someone on the phone and knew something wasn’t right. But instead of jumping into a painful divorce, they sat down with their children and talked about what they would do.

    “At the time when it should’ve been the best year of my life, he started an affair. I caught him whispering to this person on the phone and I knew something was wrong,” Shannon said on the show.

    Later, Shannon wrote a blog post to delve deeper into the painful experience and talked about their decision to attend a couple’s retreat, saying it was “life-changing”.

    “When watching David reveal the highs and lows in his life, I felt like I was punched in the stomach. I saw that he listed the affair as both a “high” and a “low”. I heard him say that the affair gave him “new life”. Today, I am trying to process through the hurt that I feel from his comments. Some moments can be difficult, but I am focusing on the positive. I remind myself of the commitment that David has made to both me and our family. He has not only made himself accountable to me, but to everyone who watches the show, and for that, I am grateful beyond words,” she wrote.

    Shannon Beador says she wanted to share her marriage troubles with viewers in the hopes that someone may take something away from their decision to push through and try to make things work, and has earned praise from some of her co-stars.
