Vicki Gunvalson returned to The Real Housewives of Orange County for Season 20. While fans expected her to whoop it up for the landmark season, Vicki has instead been labeled a “Debbie Downer.” Of course, she is dealing with severe knee pain, so she deserves some grace for her medical issues.
Besides being obsessed with her work and ignoring her RHOC co-stars, Vicki has also been making some unkind comments. Normally, fans enjoy some drama on Real Housewives.
However, when the comments escalate to mom-shaming, a line has been crossed. And the “OG of the OC” has vaulted over this barrier repeatedly during Season 20.
Vicki Gunvalson needs to stop mom-shaming her RHOC castmates
During RHOC Season 20 Episode 15, the tension between Vicki and Tamra Judge boiled over in Tokyo. Tamra was hurt by Vicki’s comments about her relationship with her estranged daughter, Sidney Barney. In 2024, Vicki went on her podcast and slammed Tamra as a mom.
And to make matters worse, Tamra claimed that Vicki never apologized to her. “That’s the lowest of lows that you can say about another woman,” Emily Simpson stated. When Tamra finally confronted Vicki about her mom-shaming comments, Vicki responded, “That was wrong. So, whatever I said, I’m sorry.”
An emotional Tamra replied, “You called me a horrible mom. You called me a mom that chose fame over my own daughter.” Unfortunately for Vicki, Tamra brought the topic up again. Vicki’s decision to double all the way down during a car ride was a choice.
“Tamra has a sharp tongue, and this is what Sidney was … talking about. All I know is what Sidney said publicly,” Vicki said in a flashback from the previous night.
Naturally, Tamra pointed out that Vicki keeps “going after people as mothers.” And, as usual, Vicki denied the accusation. She may want to watch Season 20, as she also repeatedly insulted Carmella Garcia’s parenting.
At one point, Vicki shaded Carmella for leaving her 14-year-old daughter when she was ill. Mom-shaming is never okay, and this behavior has tainted Vicki’s return to the series. As a mother, Vicki should know better than to insult someone’s parenting. And dragging co-stars’ children into the fray doesn’t sit well with some viewers.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Thursdays, 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock the next day.
