‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ Reunion Part 1: Vicki claims it's her show, fans remind her she is a 'has-been'
Former OG housewife Vicki Gunvalson clearly hasn’t processed her demotion to “friend” yet. While there was enough going onstage with the housewives throwing jabs at each other, the backstage too had enough drama thanks to Vicki. This is the first reunion for Vicki as a friend instead of housewife on the show. She didn’t take to it kindly, when the filming of the reunion began without her. As she sat backstage waiting to be called in, she kept constantly screeching in her high-pitched voice about how she started the show, and it is her show.
She went around throwing temper tantrums about being “disrespected”, and kept bugging the producers by asking them to “fire” her and do away with her rather than treat her that way. Finally, when she got on stage, she instantly directed her rage at the executive producer and host of the reunion, Andy Cohen. She tells him not to mess with her. Towards the end of the episode, we see her channeling all her rage against new housewife Braunwyn and lash out at all the housewives by screaming she started the show, and without her none of them would be there. It was worth watching Andy’s amused expressions while the former housewife went on shouting about how she owns the show and ends by demanding Braunwyn be fired from her show.
It wasn’t just Andy who was amused by Vicki’s rants, but fans too. Several fans took to social media to remind the reality star that she doesn’t “own the show”.
A fan tweeted, “I CANNOT with Vicki screeching at reunions that this is her show and no one would be there without her. She SUCKS. And should have been demoted several seasons ago. #RHOC”.
Another fan wrote, “Vicki screaming 'THIS IS MY SHOW' while getting demoted to a friend of on 'her show' is peak embarrassing. They will have to pry Bravo out of Vicki’s cold dead hands #RHOC #BravoTV”.
Many fans poked holes in Vicki’s claims by reminding her that if it were her show then she shouldn’t have been demoted. A fan pointed out, “If I started my own business, i wouldn’t be sitting with the employees. You should be sitting in Andy’s seat...right? That’s if you OWNED the show. #RHOC”.
Another fan commented, “Vicki: Get her off my show! Your show, huh? So you’re telling me that you couldn’t even manage to keep yourself at full time status on “your” show? Well that’s embarrassing...#RHOC #BravoTV”.
Fans began demanding that she be fired from the show altogether. An annoyed fan expressed, “Omg...Vicki IS a has been! Why is she even still on the show?! For her to say 'this is MY show!” Is delusional and thirsty AF! Vicki IS a fraud! Her engagement is the living embodiment of FRAUD! @Andy why do you tolerate being spoken to the way speaks to you?!#RHOC”.
“News flash Vicki, it’s not your show and you didn’t start it, you were ONE of the first employees of the show and they’re STILL trying to fire your ass! Go home #RHOC”, wrote a fan.
You can catch the second part of the reunion of ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ Season 14 on Wednesday, December 23, at 10 pm ET/PT only on Bravo.
