Edit: Remember, folks, all of this is unsubstantiated rumor! In order to avoid any more turmoil, this blog post is no longer accepting comments. Sorry!
Remember on Real Housewives of Orange County Season 4 when they showed Vicki flirting with dudes in the club in Vegas and getting all up on her friend’s husband in Chicago (that “my boobs want to come out and play” episode?) Looks like Vicki is once again, having one too many dirty martinis (the drink that Gretchen Rossi allegedly “stole” from her) and sitting on guy’s laps at a bar. The den of iniquity, The Dirty, has a few photos of a woman that looks an awful lot like Ms. Gunvalson cozying up to a man at a club. Underneath the photos, there are accounts from a few people claiming to have personal info of Vicki cheating on her husband, Donn. One of them says:
“I saw your post of Vicki yesterday and I just wanted to tell you that she is so fake. I work at Hannah’s restaurant and see her come in from time to time with different guys. She is a big time player and fakes as a crazy person for the show. Everyone in Coto calls her out on her bull sh*t.”
This comes a few weeks after Radar Online posted photos of yet another Vicki look alike getting a tattoo on her butt. Vicki has since taken to her Facebook page, claiming that the woman getting tattooed was her sister, the patented R. Kelly “it wasn’t me” defense. However, a commenter here claims they were at the event and that the person getting inked was indeed Vicki. 
The cheating story is not a surprise for anyone who cringed through watching Vicki & Don’s awkard moments marriage to Donn in Real Housewives of Orange County season 4. I’ve also read on some message boards grumblings about Vicki’s cheating, but as usual, there’s never any real evidence of anything except that Vicki is a flirt.

BE ADVISED!! Don’t believe everything you read! I know Vicki and Donn personally and none of these accusations are true. Vicki and Donn are very much in love. Vicki works extremely hard and is very good at what she does. Vicki is a beautiful and talented woman devoted to her family, her faith, her career, and her friends. I value having her in my life. You should all be so lucky to have a gem of a friend like Vicki Gunvalson! Know this – people can post anything on the internet regardless if it’s factual or not.
Maria, What gives? How many posts on here have slammed Gretchen mercilessly with no “proof” yet you never closed down those comments sections. Are you all of the sudden Vicki’s new BFF? Why did you only allow one comment to be shown that was clearly written in her favor???
If you don’t want people commenting then don’t have a comments section for any of them but to restrict one seems awfully biased.
Why would Bravo ask you to delete comments? That seems so fake and one-sided. Many fans of the show disliked Vicki this season…..what hold does bravo have on any other website?? I don’t get it. Vicki…turned into a super b*tch this season as soon as she befriended Tamra. I know she is a hard working woman, but her personality…is lacking greatly. Who could be mean to Lynne? Geez…she has to be one of the sweetest women on the planet. Too bad we couldn’t read what our fellow posters here wrote about Vicki……
I wasn’t questioning you at all Maria, I meant that was fake and one-sided of Bravo, not you!!! I don’t believe you are biased towards Vicki either, as any good tidbit is a good tidbit for you!!! Now I’m so curious what was in those previous posts?? HAHA Keep it coming Maria!! Did I mention I don’t care for Vicki? LOL
Vicki Gunvalson . . . . a mother who has children with no drug issues, no alcohol issues. Chidren who are accepted into the best colleges. Children who might seem to become embarassed when she shows up unexpectedly, but deep down respect her for caring enough to do it. And her husband Donn. A wonderful, fun-loving guy who loves his wife. Sure, Vicki has fun, she laughs, she loves, she has lasting friends. She is in no way fake. She would in no way “cheat” on her husband, and if she would, do you really think she would do it in public? She knows she is followed everywhere she goes. You see, she is out in the open with nothing to hide. She does not have to slither into hotel rooms, or sit on toilets for someone to take a photo of her to be cute. You want-a-be women have it all wrong. This is a woman who is not only a successful mother, a fun-loving and devoted wife, she is also a successful business woman who has never waited for a hand out. She did it herself. Maybe you people need to reevaluate yourselves. What is causing your life to have so much hate in it. The Real Housewives of Orange County is a TV show and meant to entertain. If you re going to places like “The Dirty” website every day, maybe you need to reevaluate your life, not hers.
Vicki, I mean “Trudie”…..so getting drunk and sitting on your friend’s husband’s lap and saying “my boobies want to come out and play” is respectful???
I also did not notice her children attending any Ivy League schools as you mentioned above. Oh and who would really know what Vicki’s children drink? Their mother drinks enough for the both of them, she is the one with the real problem.
This is all on television for everyone to see so let’s stop pretending these things did not happen. We have seen her treat her family like garbage, treat the other housewives like garbage.
This is not someone with morals or character or any kind of family values. People did not like her LONG before these pics came out. And frankly, she makes Gretchen look like a classy nun compared to the way Vicki acts.
It is utterly disgusting and an overwhelming number of viewers are simply tired of watching trashy people like Vicki……maybe YOU need to reevaluate YOURSELF if you think this sort of behavior is acceptable.
Wow, so basically the only person allowed to post comments on this section is Vicki??? These posts are so pathetically written by her being that no one likes her.
Gee Bravo, maybe if you actually listened to what the VIEWERS thought you would know that no one likes her because she is a horribly rude, tacky and low class person……ever wonder why the ratings for OC Housewives are sinking?
Vicki and Tamra are the reason the ratings are suffering, bravo viewers are sick of watching women who act like they belong on Jerry Springer. We want the old OC housewives with nice people like Kimberly Bryant & Tammy Knickerbocker who have class.
Can you handle the true opinions of your viewers Bravo????
You know, I remember the comments being shut down on the OC Housewives forums on Television Without Pity some time back (before, I believe, Bravo bought TWoP). It sounded like there was a threat of litigation there as well.
OC housewives does not have near as high ratings at NY & NJ (don’t know about Atlanta). OC ratings were much higher in the beginning. I think viewers are sick of trash tv and want to see housewives with integrity and character.
I am betting next season’s ratings won’t be so hot considering all the posts I have seen from people saying they refuse to watch if vicki & tamra are on it. I don’t blame them, it used to be a really good show in the beginning.
I think the ratings went up because of Gretchen. She is much more interesting and fun to watch than the other housewives. She is always in People magazine too, none of the other housewives are.
I think it is pretty pathetic that Bravo does not show the comments from their viewers, just silly.
Bravo definately picks and chooses which comments they allow to be printed. They literally publish none of my comments. I should mention that they are negative comments towards both Vicki and Tamra, but is that not misleading?? Censoring viewer comments is shady and fake!!!! Why should we watch their shows if they don’t care about our opinions? Don’t get me wrong…lol..I’ll be right there….rooting for Gretchen!! HAHA
I think the ratings for NY & NJ are higher because those housewives really are rich (except bethanny & alex). None of the OC housewives have near the money that the housewives from the east coast have.
OC Housewives are wannabes for sure, they wear cheap clothes and most of them are bankrupt (except for Gretchen & Lynn).
I also think Gretchen is the only interesting housewife on the OC show.
I was lucky enough to read the comments and they were great. Pretty much just some jokes making fun of Vicki’s nose (which was really a good one) and some others. I laughed my a– off for awhile. So seems like she can not take a couple of jokes either. You had a good one also Maria.
Reality Tea has some funny ones about it too, gee too bad she can’t bully the people over there the way she did Bravo…..what a pathetic woman. She truly is delusional about what a mean-spirited, awful person she really is.
She thinks if she has some comments deleted that somehow people won’t know this already which is laughable.
BE ADVISED!! Don’t believe everything you read! I know Vicki and Donn personally and none of these accusations are true. Vicki and Donn are very much in love. Vicki works extremely hard and is very good at what she does. Vicki is a beautiful and talented woman devoted to her family, her faith, her career, and her friends. I value having her in my life. You should all be so lucky to have a gem of a friend like Vicki Gunvalson! Know this – people can post anything on the internet regardless if it’s factual or not.
HAHAHAHAHAH NICE POST VICKI!!! YOUR WIFE I MEAN HUSBAND IS A CUCKOLD….
I post more about Gretchen because there is more news to post. I was asked by bravo to delete the other comments. I have no personal relationship with any of the bravo stars. As I’ve said before, the tone of this blog is sarcastic.
Anica, if you don’t believe me, I can show you the e-mail I received from Bravo asking me to delete the comments. I’d rather delete the comments than get sued and I need to maintain a good relationship with Bravo/NBC in order to continue to bring you guys the best site I can bring you — I need to be able to work with them for the site to survive. If I were being biased towards Vicki, I would have deleted the post altogether. I really need everyone to understand why I did what Bravo told me to do; it is not because I am suddenly friends with Vicki. In the end, it’s to continue to have a good site with good information. If you have questions, please email me : maria.diaz@b5media.com
Thanks, Anica
I just wanted to make sure everyone knew why I did it. It is weird that I got an e-mail about Vicki and not any of the other housewives.
Actually.. ratings are not suffering. Viewers hate on Vicki & Tamra on the boards, but ratings have gone way up!
@FO — Yes, I remember that. I believe it was the Warings who got involved in that mess. I looked into it further and it seems that some of the posters there, including commenters on the OC Register site (who do weekly recaps and used to have a weekly column about the show) were getting a little too involved.
Actually, season 4 ratings were higher than ever:
http://thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20090122bravo01
That link says “Through nine episodes, “The Real Housewives of Orange County” is up 30 percent from season three (averaging 1.21 million vs. 932,000) and up 36 percent among total viewers (1.66 vs. 1.22 million). ”
And on this one:
http://thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20090224bravo01
The “Real Housewives” franchise has seen huge ratings surges, with season four of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” marking its highest rated season ever with double-digit increases across the board. Compared to its third season, the series was up 34 percent among adults 18-49 (1.56 million vs. 1.16 million) and 39 percent among total viewers (2.09 million vs. 1.50 million).
You are right int that the other franchises do get higher ratings — NJ gave it its highest ratings ever, but you can argue that it was from the momentum of the RHOC reunion that the other series picked up speed. Vicki & Tamra get a lot of hate on the boards, but I’m sure people will continue to watch.
