Tensions between Vicki Gunvalson and Gretchen Rossi finally boiled over in Real Housewives of Orange County Season 7, Episode 6. The claws really came out when Vicki blew up after Gretchen’s trash-talking boyfriend Slade Smiley came waltzing into the Bunco party, 80s mullet and all. We understand Vicki’s frustration — the guy had just compared her to Miss Piggy in front of 300 people at his comedy show. Yet saying her screaming fit was an overreaction may be putting it lightly. So does the Housewife feel embarrassed about her explosion in hindsight?RELATED: The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Stand By Your Man (Even If He's a Deadbeat)
“Am I disgusted at myself and how I lost my temper with Gretchen and Slade? One word — absolutely!” the 49-year-old insurance hotshot wrote in her Bravo blog. But does that means she’s going to back down or apologize? Ha! Who do you think she is?
Vicki went on to explain the side of the story we didn’t see on-screen, saying that she felt Slade and Gretchen used Vicki’s boyfriend Brooks to make themselves feel better about Slade’s own past. (Both Brooks and Slade have serious issues with paying child support.)
But Vicki thinks that instead of going after Brooks like they should have, Slade and Gretchen decided to use her as a punching bag. To make matters worse, the blow up couldn’t have happened at a worse time: Vicki was dealing with her daughter Briana’s illness.
“I guess the saying that some people love kicking you when your [sic] down is true with Slade,” she writes. “Class, Integrity, and character are something you cannot buy or wish for… you either have it or you don't and for Slade to do what he did in front of 300 people was disgusting and made me very sad.” She added, “I really think he thrives on the drama so he gets more airtime” and thinks he could learn something from the other Househusbands, who have never verbally attacked the ladies.
Embarrassed, maybe. Sorry? Not so much.
