Vicki Gunvalson Dissed By Fans For Launching New Fragrance Amid Brooks Ayers’ RHOC Cancer Scandal
Dec. 2 2015, Published 5:16 p.m. ET
Vicki Gunvalson’s attempt to bring a little holiday cheer to her fans has backfired now that The Real Housewives of Orange County star is being dissed for the ill-timed launch of her new fragrance, V!
Amid the continued fallout from the RHOC cancer fakery scandal involving herself and her ex Brooks Ayers, Gunvalson took to her Instagram page on Monday to share some seemingly exciting news — that she had released a new scent!
But not even her pristine headshot and glittery bottle was enough to keep her fans from questioning why she’d make the announcement in the middle of the cancer fakery drama!
Some fans accused the RHOC vet of using the publicity surrounding the scandal to boost sells of the fragrance bottles. And others accused Gunvalson's launch of being a distraction from the remaining questions over how much she really knew about Ayers’ cancer lies.

Gunvalson has been quiet over the past few weeks, offering no comments aobut her ex or her status on the reality TV show. But several sources revealed to RadarOnline.com that her silence is likely the result of the RHOC cast's current media lockdown.
“Right now, the ladies are forbidden to talk about each other and the entire cast is on media lockdown,” one source said. “This was done as a means of damage control. They have all been talking so much sh*t about each other that Bravo had no other choice then to step in and put a lock on it.”
The source added that the RHOC team is hopeful the lockdown will decrease the tension among the ladies as they prepare to begin filming for Season 11. “There is a good chance that Vicki will be returning next season,” the source said. “There is a good chance that Vicki will be returning next season.” Do you think Vicki should have waited to launch her new fragrance?
