Does Vicki Gunvalson have cotton in her ears, or is she just determined to drive her family absolutely bananas? Because honey, when your own flesh and blood is literally BEGGING you not to do something, maybe—just MAYBE—that’s a sign from the universe that you should listen!
The OG of the OC herself just dropped some seriously awkward tea at the RHOC season 20 premiere celebration, and we are LIVING for the messy family drama. According to Vicki, her daughter Briana Culberson was NOT here for mommy dearest’s triumphant return to the Bravo hit show. And the advice she allegedly gave? Let’s just say it wasn’t exactly a bouquet of roses wrapped in congratulations.
“Briana said, ‘No, Mom. The show has never been good for you. You’ve always lost relationships,'” the 64-year-old revealed during the panel discussion. Ouch! Talk about a reality check served cold! Briana basically said what we’ve all been thinking for YEARS—that the Real Housewives franchise has been absolutely TOXIC for Vicki’s personal life. And honestly? She’s not wrong!
Let’s recap: Vicki’s been feuding with cast members, dealing with friendship breakdowns, and creating enough controversy to fuel three separate reality TV documentaries. But apparently, she’s decided that Briana’s concerns are just background noise because she’s making her comeback anyway. The woman is resilient, we’ll give her that—delusional, but resilient.
Fans are absolutely SPLIT on this whole situation. Some people are applauding Vicki for ignoring the naysayers and doing her thing, while others are siding hard with Briana. The general consensus? If your own daughter thinks a show is destroying your relationships and you go back anyway, that’s not boss energy—that’s just ignoring red flags the size of Southern California.
What’s really wild is that Vicki was candid enough to share this conversation publicly. Like, girl, did you not think people would side-eye this? Your daughter literally told you the show is relationship poison, and you’re broadcasting it like it’s some kind of badge of honor. The audacity! The delusion! The complete lack of self-awareness!
One thing’s for sure: this season of RHOC is going to be MESSY, and we cannot wait to see which relationships get sacrificed at the altar of Bravo drama this time around.
What do you think? A) Vicki should’ve listened to Briana and skipped the show, OR B) Vicki’s a grown woman and should make her own decisions regardless of the fallout?
