Real Housewives Of Orange County Recap: Gone But Not Forgotten

by Maryon July 7th, 2015

Last night’s episode of Real Housewives Of Orange County left me wondering about the blurred lines of real reality vs. reality TV appropriate as we witnessed Vicki Gunvalson reacting to the news that her mom had unexpectedly passed away.

Of course, Vicki’s tragic news was preceded by petty dramas with clueless Meghan Edmonds, and interspersed with scenes of whooping it up over Bunco at Shannon Beador‘s house. It seems inappropriate to write a recap that encompasses both the tragic passing of a parent and nonsense over whether or not a party invite was shady. But alas, the powers that be over at Bravo have given me this incredible opportunity. (Sarcasm).

At Meghan’s house, that’s not really Meghan’s house because Jimmy bought it and decorated it with one of his exes, they’re packing in preparation for a move. Apparently Meghan and Jimmy have moved 65 times in the last 6 minutes so I presume they’re high-class squatters and this is going to be a really interesting HGTV cross-over. Also, if you don’t really live anywhere – how have you amassed enough stuff for several junk drawers? Jimmy blames Meghan for the stuff. Because of course.

Vicki Gunvalson Pays Tribute To Her Late Mom; Talks To Andy About Her Deep Sadness Over The Loss – Video

by Reality Teaon July 7th, 2015

I’ve never been as emotionally moved as I was last night watching the Real Housewives of Orange County. Watching as Vicki Gunvalson learned of the passing of her beloved mom, Joanne, was heartbreaking and something I hope we never have to watch a Housewife go through again. For all of the cries of “fakery” on reality shows, I think this was one of the rawest moments we’ve seen.

Vicki took to her Bravo blog to pay tribute to her mom. And she also sat down with Andy Cohen to give a brief interview about her loss. We’ve included that video down below. Get your tissues before you watch it.

Vicki’s Vodka Lawsuit Update: Case Against Brooks Ayers Is Dismissed!

by Maryon July 6th, 2015

The lawsuits surrounding the now defunct Vicki’s Vodka have lasted far longer than the company itself! Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers were investors in the company, which Vicki started with co-founder Robert Williamson III, but things went horribly awry. Don’t drink and do business deals, I suppose (and kid!)

The Real Housewives Of Orange County star has been battling the lawsuit for years, with Vicki and Robert going back and forth over Brooks involvement in their partnership. Robert even alleged that Brooks hired a hitman to try and take him out, but the embattled Brooks scored a huge victory when a Nevada Court Circuit judge has dismissed Robert’s suit as without merit.

Meghan Edmonds Calls Out Shannon, Tamra, and Vicki; Claims ‘Jimmy’ Didn’t Want Shannon at Their Party!

by Erin M.on July 3rd, 2015

Not winning friends and influencing people so far on the Real Housewives of Orange County, new girl Meghan Edmonds is taking to her blog this week to defend herself against Shannon Beador, Vicki Gunvalson, and her so-called ally and mentor, Tamra Judge. She also explains why she didn’t invite Shannon to her JDRF party following their Napa argument. Apparently, it was all Jim Edmonds‘ doing. Huh?

Beginning by reliving “Phone-Gate,” Meghan reflects that it was “so stupid and petty for Shannon to storm off on me like she did and make a scene in the Bello’s home. If Shannon reacted like an adult she would’ve swallowed her pride, apologized for unintentionally offending me, and explain she was caught off guard, the issue would have been laid to rest.” Yes, but then where would Meghan be? L~~eft with no storyline?~~ Meghan also rebuffs the idea that Bravo producers egged her on to start the drama. “There was no ambush as she described it unless she was recreating history in her own mind. What the cameras show was what happened. There was no prodding from production for me to talk to Shannon about this or to make the phone call in the first place, it was all my idea,” claims Meghan.

Vicki Gunvalson Explains Why Newbies Have The Advantage Over Her On RHOC

by Melissaon July 2nd, 2015

Vicki Gunvalson has endured – and definitely contributed to – ten seasons of screaming, crying, and backstabbing on the Real Housewives of Orange County. In a recent interview, Vicki opened up about her co-stars, why newbies have an advantage, her future on the show, and more.

When asked which former or current co-stars she considers real friends, Vicki shared, “It changes from season to season. Tamra [Judge] is my friend .. right now. Alexis Bellino absolutely is my friend. She reaches out to me weekly.” She went on to say that she sees both Lynne Curtin and Jeana Keough “now and then” but has not stayed in touch with anyone else.

Tamra Judge Reflects on Her Bad Year; Wants Viewers to See That She’s Changed!

by Erin M.on July 1st, 2015

Not having blogged since the first episode, Tamra Judge takes a long, meandering tour through the last two weeks – not to mention the last year! – of the Real Housewives of Orange County to bring us up to speed on where her head’s at these days. She begins with an explanation of why last year was tough for her personally, and on camera, and assures viewers that the “New Tamra” is legit. She’s turning over a new leaf, yo! And anyone who thinks otherwise can “SUCK IT!” (yes, real quote).

Tamra begins by sharing, “The last year had been a long painful journey for me and coming back to the show and filming scared me. I really did feel like I had been hit by a truck and I was learning to function again.” She says she couldn’t talk about most of her issues on camera last season due to legal reasons, but does reveal, “My ex-husband put me and the children thorough a painful custody battle that lasted a year. A year of court dates, attorney fees, sleepless nights, scared children, therapy appointments, false media stories, lies, embarrassment, but most of all the worst pain I had ever felt. These are memories that me and my children will never forget.” The court battle ended in Tamra’s two youngest children being closer “than ever” to her, while her eldest daughter has chosen to live with Tamra’s ex. Tamra admits, “every day without her is painful for me.”

Shannon Beador Believes Meghan King Edmonds Used Her For A Storyline

by Melissaon July 1st, 2015

Real Housewives of Orange County newbie Meghan King Edmonds and fan favorite Shannon Beador are off to a rough start. In her blog, Shannon shared her thoughts on the drama with Meghan and her date night with Vicki Gunvalson.

Shannon reminded us that we only see a snippet of what is filmed and filled us in on what wasn’t shown. “We all had a fun day together in Napa and everyone was getting along. On the drive to the Bello’s beautiful home, Meghan and Jim brought up the charity party they were hosting the following week,” she shared. “They both asked me questions about an event I hosted for the same charity some months prior. I answered the questions. I gave them suggestions. It was a given in the conversation that everyone on the bus would be attending the party. In addition, I had received a “Save the Date” email for the charity event.”
