Vicki Gunvalson appeared to be in good spirits next to fiancé Steve Lodge after getting demoted on The Real Housewives of Orange County. Fans are outraged over the network's decision to make the Coto Insurance owner a friend of the wives after appearing full-time since the show premiered in 2006.
Vicki, 57, and Steve, 60, enjoyed a night out in Palm Springs on Saturday, July 6.
"I ❤️ being out in the desert," she captioned the romantic snap. "It’s hot but I don’t care!"
Fans were more focused on Vicki's demotion in the comments section. US Weekly broke the news about the mother-of-two's part-time status on Tuesday, July 2.

"You not holding the orange is not right," one fan wrote. "I need my OG from the OC. You are the queen of the Real housewives franchise your spot should never be in jeopardy period."
"I know but Bravo wanted to change things up," Vicki wrote in response. "We will see."
Vicki's RHOC costar Tamra Judge said that the "OG of the OC" is "sad" about the situation in an Instagram dedication she posted on Thursday, July 4.
