After The Real Housewives of Orange County finale, Vicki Gunvalson made an appearance on Watch What Happens Live. One would expect to see Vicki a little humbled by her breakup with Brooks Ayers and all of his #Cancergate foolishness. One would be disappointed. Vicki was as defensive as ever, and not the least bit remorseful about this season. Not even when it came to spilling the tea about David Beador’s affair to her brother, Billy, and his buttinski girlfriend, Ronda.

Ronda, perhaps having too many Red Bull and vodkas, spouted off about Shannon and David’s marital problems in the middle of Tamra’s baptismal party. So, was she simply Vicki’s mouthpiece? Vicki says no.

“She [Ronda] was tired of all the backlash from the Brooks cancer thing… I didn’t tell her to say it, she just did it on her own.”

Sorry, but I’m not buying it, Vicki. You may not have been pulling Ronda’s strings, but you sure as hell didn’t shut her down either. Bad form, OG of the OC.

When Andy Cohen asked why Vicki and Brooks called it quits—again—she had an entire litany of reasons. But his fake cancer drama wasn’t among them. “…conflict with Brianna…stress of the show.  He’s sick…he’s from the south and he wanted to go back to the south… Long term, it was not going to work. Short term, it was amazing.”

I fail to see anything amazing about Brooks, unless you count his ability to lie through the fake teeth Vicki bought him.

One caller asked if the OC girls have supported Vicki through her breakup. “No. They still have their mother and they still have their partner. So, I’ve had two huge losses this year, and they’re not there for me. That makes me realize we’re just TV friends, I guess.”

While I’m terribly sorry Vicki lost her mom, I’m stunned by her inability to take responsibility for her actions. According to the OC ladies, Vicki repeatedly lied for Brooks, yet she doesn’t admit to any wrongdoing. I can’t respect that.

A fan tweeted Andy, asking if Vicki blamed Tamra and her psychic for #Cancergate.

“I think the whole thing is pretty disgusting. Whether he does have cancer or doesn’t have cancer, you don’t ask for medical records…and yes, it did start from Tamra…”

Is this an admission that Vicki knew, or at least suspected that Brooks was lying? Sure sounds like it to me.

The last caller of the night asked Vicki if she was too hard on Brianna, calling her a pot stirrer in this final episode of the season.

“Brianna doesn’t like Brooks, we all know that. So I’d asked Brianna ahead of time, how about we just don’t’ talk about it on camera… I was just over it. I personally didn’t like that her and Tamra went to lunch without me… I think the whole thing was pretty nasty.”

You want to know what I think is nasty? Dating a man who tells your son-in-law to beat your beloved daughter. That would have been a deal breaker for me. But Vicki seems to gloss over what she doesn’t want to face.

So, do you think Vicki and Brooks are really over this time? And why did he move to Florida when his children supposedly live in Mississippi? Hmmm.
