Since we first met Vicki Gunvalson in the early days of Real Housewives of Orange County, we knew she was a hot mess. This was before it was popular to call out a âKarenâ for asking to speak to the manager â Vicki helped create the blueprint. She screamed about family vans. She whooped it up at Andaleâs on vacation. She embarrassed her kids. And, of course, she got into messy relationships that included serious allegations, including a cancer scam.
While Vicki has changed in more ways than one since the start of RHOC, sheâs still the same deep down. She apparently screamed at Dorinda Medley about COVID-19 vaccines while filming Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in the Bezerkshires. Tamra Judge is still her forever partner in crime. And sheâs still looking to get her love tank filled, now more than ever since sheâs split with wannabe California governor Steve Lodge.
According to E! Online, Vicki and Steveâs split may have not been as amicable as they tried to play it off as. But this is coming from a woman who downplayed a potential COVID-19 diagnosis on the phone to Page Six. The new allegations were spewed in the comments section of a Tammy Sue Instagram post. But just wait â it gets even more on-brand than that.
Tamra posted a photo of herself looking hot in the mirror to Instagram, as captured by @commentsbybravo. If you zoom in, you will see Queen Victoria lying in bed, looking sadly at her phone. Thatâs iconic in and of itself. Tamra called for her friend to get out of bed in the caption, writing, âI hate to see you so sad. No one is worth it girl. Especially after what you found out last night.â Tamra, always stirring the pot, whether there are cameras around or not.
Vicki and Tamra went back in forth of the comments, determining that Tammy would serve as Vickiâs sole matchmaker from now on. One fan asked for more deets on the split, and Vicki took that and ran with it. âHe used me, he lied to me, heâs been dating a 36 year old and is not what he portrays himself to be. No Christian man would do what heâs done,â she wrote. Even though Steve lost his gubernatorial run on his own, Vicki will clearly not be advocating for him in future campaigns.

Another follower asked if Steve was cheating on Vicki, who simply replied âYep.â She also commented, âWhile I was out of town on a biz trip, he took her to my condo in Mexico! Heâs been flaunting around my town in OC making out in public places. Itâs disgusting.â Vicki has a way of picking sleazy dudes. This is why she shouldâve tried to rekindle things with Donn Gunvalson, the harmless dad she needs in her life.
Tamra didnât stop backing up her friend in the comments. She wrote that Steve was, âsleeping in [Vickiâs] bed running for governor using [her] followers.â Now thatâs a ride or die, even if they both talk smack about one another.
Steve gave E! a comment, denying Vickiâs cheating allegations. âVicki s telling a pathetic lie for drama and attention, that should not be surprising to anyone,â Steve wrote. Burn. But he liked her reality TV status when he was scrounging for votes a few months back. I see right through this guy. He added that the pair ended their relationship last December. And to get even more graphic, he says they havenât been in an âintimate relationshipâ since September 2020. So Vickiâs love tank has been empty, according to Steve.
Steve added that heâs been living in his own condo in Mexico since the beginning of 2021. So not only did this man allegedly sneak around on Vicki, but he tainted her Puerto Vallarta getaway. âThe absolute lies she is now spreading on social media is very disappointing and disingenuous, to say the least,â he added. âShe should not be dragging Tamra or anyone else into her lies.â
Page Six reports that Steve broke things off with Vicki last December, telling her âin person verbally and explained it to her in writing.â But Vicki didnât accept Steveâs desires to be just friends, he claims.

Vicki responded to the accusations that sheâs lying. âHe is correct, that he rented a 1 bedroom condo in the complex that I purchased a home in for our retirement in April. He continued to stay with me when I was there, but physically moved out of both my homes 3 weeks ago. Yes, he is right about wanting to âmove on with his life,â but still living together gave me hope that we would be OK.â So Steve was leading Vicki on, she claims. I can believe it, but Vicki and Donn did shack up for months while they were separated. Vicki seems to have a track record for this sort of thing.
