Vicki Gunvalson’s Most Problematic Controversies

The OG of the OC, Vicki Gunvalson, has lost her footing along the way, making herself quite the villain. After years of spearheading the Real Housewives of Orange County, there was more than one instance where her attitude was extremely questionable. While I love some angry family van yelling, I can’t get behind the times when Vicki just came across as selfish and uneducated. 

The Illinois native has dug herself into a hole in recent years as she felt no shame in sharing fake news, false information, and strong opinions. After being let go from the show that “she made,” Vicki has made sure to really act as if she pooped rainbows, always making sure that everyone knew that show would fail without her.

Not surprisingly, the series has done just fine without the mean girl. However, some of her bad behavior hasn’t been forgotten. Am I the only one who feels Vicki shouldn’t ever be allowed back at Bravo? I bet the producers she’s pushed agree with me. 

Vicki Is Rude to Bravolebs

Vicki often likes to remind people that most of the other Housewives wouldn’t be on the map unless it were for her. It’s true she had a helping hand in making the first Bravo franchise extremely popular. However, she isn’t King Midas and doesn’t have the touch. In recent years, some Bravo personalities have started calling Vicki out. Ashley Darby said Vicki was the “rudest” person she had ever encountered. The RHOP star shared that she and Vicki “did a little thing together at Bravo headquarters, and she was so dismissive of me. We were doing an interview together, and she got up and walked out of the room.” 

Kenya Moore had her own encounters with Vicki. “Vicki is a bully, you know, and she bullied like a whole Housewife cast years ago,” Kenya told Us Weekly. “Every time I see her, she’s just not a pleasant person.” Like it or not, Vicki has a clear pattern when she engages with some housewives, which isn’t nice. 

Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder

When the worldwide pandemic was starting out, Vicki was one of the Bravolebs who chose to act like an ostrich. She stuffed her head into the sand and pretended her world wasn’t going to change. In March 2020, California had some of the strictest rules in the country. However, the OC resident felt she was above them.

After only one month of COVID-19, Vicki tweeted a message to Governor Gavin Newsom. “Let’s get America who is healthy back to work,” she wrote. “We need hairdressers, nail techs, small businesses, and restaurants to start reopening May 1st. Please?”

Critics slammed Vicki for being tone-deaf as she begged for nonessential workers to put their lives on the line just in the name of her beauty regime. It was gross to learn that Vicki was ready to whoop it up with Botox and acrylic nails while others died around her. But she also still hangs out with housewives like Kelly Dodd, so birds of feather.

After over a year of sheltering in place, the CDC approved COVID-19 vaccines, proving they were safe and would help against the variants. However, Vicki often felt she knew better than the qualified medical professionals. During the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, Vicki made some pretty heartless comments, including, “There has to be an end to this booster, this, this, this … don’t even get me started. It’s a rabbit hole I will go down. Follow the money, baby, follow the money!” When asked if she was an anti-vaxxer, Vicki said, “Yeah.” The fight worsened with Vicki implying that people would die from receiving the vaccine. 

Vicki’s ignorance cast her in dark light, with even her son poking fun at her. When getting his first jab, Michael Wolfsmith shared that his mom was not thrilled he had chosen to get vaccinated, writing it “broke her heart.” Michael went on to share that he didn’t feel his mother was that smart after a fan asked about her intelligence, noting, “No, she has terrible sources of information. ‘Guns, American flags, and invisible sky fairies’—the All-American Trifecta!” 

There have been plenty left disappointed by Vicki. Whether you are an LA camera operator, a loyal Bravo fan, or a nonessential worker, Vicki has shown her true colors, and they are not pretty. I mean, even the Tres Amigas have given up on her. At least for now, we don’t have to watch her fail to keep a man or prattle on about issues we don’t give a damn about. Sayonara, Vic!
