Season 11’s Secrets Are Out — ‘RHOC’ Star Vicki Gunvalson TELLS ALL In Shocking Interview!

You can never keep an OG down! Vicki Gunvalson, who has been on The Real Housewives of Orange County for all eleven seasons, admitted to some shocking revelations in a sit-down interview with E! News. The reality TV star has battled her way back to the spotlight after an intense year of lies, betrayal, and depression!

She told Melanie Bromley about her reaction to Brooks Ayers leaving her life: “My emotions are still sad more than anything that, number one, I have known this man for 10 years. I never, ever thought that it would end this way… I was just so, so sad. I felt betrayed by my cast members. I felt betrayed by him. I had lost my mom a few months before that. It was just all this emptiness that had happened in my life and I had this big house and I just…I cried.”

Brooks infamously faked treatment documents that “proved” he had cancer. Vicki weighed in. She said, "I do believe there were lies being told, I don't know to what level. I mean, I do believe he was sick, nobody can lose the amount of weight that he did.”

But she made excuses for her blindness to the issues. Vicki explained, “When I love, I love hard. When I am in, I am in...In a normal situation, if you were sick, or your boyfriend or a family member, would you ask them for medical records?"

She almost didn’t return to the season because of being at her lowest point in life after the Brooks scandal. "I would never take my life but I was at the lowest place I had ever been in my life,” she confessed. “He lied to me, and lied to the viewers, and lied to everybody else for whatever reason I don't know, and I will never know why he did what he did. But I believed him and I loved him.”

The 54-year-old hinted a very somber new season. "I have been through counseling, I have been through enough tears, I've done my vision boards. I've done anything I can possibly do to move on,” she said. "I think what you will see in this season is that it definitely starts off very awkward, but the best part about this season is that we have a new cast member. She brings a whole lot of opinions and I love her, we have a great relationship.”

But out of every failure, comes a lesson and Vicki said she’s learned a lot about forgiveness and anger. She’s applied those lessons to other areas of her life. Vicki and her daughter, Briana’s, relationship has drastically improved and her new boyfriend, Steve Lodge, is open and honest with her.

Vicki’s friendship with Tamra Judge has shifted as well. She said, “I mean, you can be friends with Tamra in one minute, and in one hour she can turn on you… She can talk crap about me for years but if I say one thing, she blasts me. So I am OK with it. I am actually quite emotionless about it."
