Vicki Gunvalson has made her feelings clear regarding Meghan King’s potential return to The Real Housewives of Orange County.
The Bravo star responded with a resounding "NO!!!!!" to speculation about King rejoining the cast, igniting discussions among fans.
Gunvalson, 63, shared her blunt reaction in the comments of a Page Six Instagram post that highlighted a recent incident involving King and Jim Edmonds’ wife, Kortnie Edmonds. The drama escalated when Kortnie called the police on Meghan for allegedly barging into their home.

One fan chimed in with a playful suggestion: "Bring her back for Season 20 😂." Vicki didn’t hesitate to deliver her fiery retort right after.
The fallout from the incident has caught the attention of many RHOC fans, who are divided on whether Meghan’s return would be a good move, especially considering the recent tensions surrounding her, Jim and Kortnie.
Meghan, 40, shares three children with Jim — a daughter named Aspen and twin sons Hart and Hayes. The couple was married in 2014 but divorced in 2019. Jim wed Kortnie in September 2022.
Meghan had been to the Edmonds’ residence multiple times on May 1, causing a "disturbance," according to Page Six. Kortnie alleged that King refused to return her daughter’s dress, entering the home without permission in the process.

Following the encounter, Kortnie called the police to "press charges for harassment." Jim, who returned home after the incident, informed law enforcement that he had video evidence of Meghan’s actions.
Despite the drama, the Frontenac Municipal Prosecutor declined to pursue charges against Meghan, labeling the situation a domestic dispute, although a restraining order was filed against her by Kortnie.
Vicki Gunvalson has starred on 'RHOC' for 13 seasons.
While Vicki may no longer be a mainstay on RHOC, her perspective carries weight. She starred in the first thirteen seasons before being downgraded to a "Friend of" role in Season 14, making guest appearances in Seasons 17 and 18.
Meghan exited the show after Seasons 10 through 12, returning as a guest in Season 14. During her time on the series, she notoriously exposed Vicki’s ex-boyfriend, Brooks Ayers, for allegedly faking his cancer diagnosis. This revelation sparked a bitter feud that has persisted for nearly a decade.

Last year, Meghan described the idea of a friendship with Vicki as "not desirable." When asked about Vicki’s fallout with Tamra Judge, Meghan said, "Well, I mean, who could be friends with Vicki?"
"Like, I feel like anybody who’s friends with Vicki is just fake anyway," Meghan continued. "They’re just doing it for their own political gain — not actually because they like Vicki. Like, she’s not easy to like."
Vicki fired back, emphasizing her long-standing friendships. "I’ve had quality friends longer than [Meghan] has been alive," she responded. "She has no idea about my life or my long-term friendships … This woman is clueless & will say or do anything for press including marrying people she doesn’t even know."
