Vicki Had 'No Idea' Her Man Was A 'Deadbeat'

As quick as she said she was dating him, word got out about Vicki Gunvalson's boyfriend Brooks Ayers neglecting to pay child support to not one but two different women. Oh, and being arrested twice for it.

Rumorfix contacted a surprised Vicki who claims to have had "no idea" that her boyfriend was being refered to as a "deadbeat."

She continued on saying, "I've only just started dating this guy, we've had like three dates. I don't know about any of it."

Now that's funny since she personally wrote a letter defending him against the child support claims in 2010...

Vicki Gunvalson Dating A True Deadbeat Dad

We all heard Vicki Gunvalson admit on the Real Housewives of Orange County season 6 reunion that she was in fact dating Brooks Ayers. 

So, like clockwork, we are now finding out more about Mr. Ayers which isn't great news for him, or for Vicki.

Turns out, Mr. Ayers owes about $40,000 to two different women in two different states.

One woman is his estranged wife, Kim (he has three children with her), the other is his ex-girlfriend Nicolette Catanzarite, whom he has a son with.

So far, his refusal to pay the women support has landed him in jail twice -- once in Alabama and once in Mississippi.

On top of that, his wife (as in yes, they are still married) Kim claims that Vicki's new man "has a history of cheating." In fact, he conceived his son with Nicolette while he was still married to Kim.

And she has spent soo much time bashing Slade? Now she's dating this train wreck.. I don't get you Vicki, you've really disappointed me with this one! I thought you were better than that.

Watch the Top 3 Brawls From the RHOC Reunion

The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion was just so drama filled that one hour just wasn't enough, so they aired two separate specials, the second of which was last night.

From Tamra Barney storming off set after being verbally attacked by Gretchen and Slade to Gretchen's standoff with Vicki over the late Jeff Beitzel, check out the moments that made for must-see TV above!

Vicki Gunvalson Admits To Dating Brooks Ayers

Tonight on the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion special, Vicki Gunvalson -- as usual -- didn't have much to hide. In fact, when Andy asked her if she was dating yet she said yes!

On top of that, Andy teasingly acted as if the mystery guy was going to join them on set and introduced him as "Brooks" (Ayers).. and that rang a bell!

Photos of these two originally surfaced back in mid-May. At the time Vicki had told E! News, "We are not dating. He is just a friend,"" Well, turns out they were so woo-hoo for them!

Andy Cohen: RHOC Reunion Is 'Explosive'

The Real Housewives of Orange County finale was filled with pushing and drink-throwing and Andy Cohen says it only gets worse (or better depending how you look at it).

"Tamra was really pissed and it had gone on and on," Cohen told TVGuide.com at Monday night's Made in New York Awards. "You'll see at the reunion she was still upset and Jeana [Keough] is there too. It's a two-part reunion and it's quite explosive."

While the latter part of Sunday's episode featured the feud between former housewife Jeana and current cast member Tamra, a portion focused on Vicki filing for divorce from husband Donn. The Real Housewives of New York City's Jill Zarin says it's been hard for Vicki to watch her marriage fall apart on television.

"I spoke to Vicki today," Zarin said. "[She's feeling] pretty down. Donn's still living in the house, they're trying to settle their financial situation so it's difficult — it's been a rough time for her."

My Personal Thoughts On The OC Finale

Last night's episode of Real Housewives of Orange County was filled with some real drama. Alexis vs Peggy, Tamra vs Jeana, and even a little of Gretchen vs Tamra - for old times sake.

Now don't get me wrong - I love a little drama - but what happened to all of the genuine friendships? Sure, Tamra and Vicki have made up since the backstabbing of last season on Tamra's part, but is anything really "real" in Orange County any more?

One thing that seems to be is the new housewife, Peggy Tanous. She really kept me sane throughout this season. Everything I was shouting at the TV, she was saying! She's got a great personality and a hot husband. Alexis seemed out to get her from day one, but she stood her ground and rolled with the punches. Seeing her live on WWHL was great - she's really funny and I LOVE the way she handles her former friend, Alexis Bellino.

I really liked Alexis last season but this season I'm just not falling for her religious crap. I grew up in a Christian family and the attire she leaves home in was never acceptable. And getting wasted in Texas? Then, one week she says she dealt with an eating disorder and the next week she put on a skimpy oufit and said "no food is going in this body.." That sure isn't sending a great message. Last night, she called WWHL to steal the spotlight from Peggy (obviously) and ended up making a total ass out of herself on live TV so that was a highlight for me.

Oh and Tamra, what can I say? She was always a favorite of mine but I feel like the whole Jeana Keough situation was heightened for the cameras. The classy way would have been to call her and tell her to stay out of it, when she didn't serve her privately with papers, not at a friend's party - especially when that friend already has all sorts of issues she's dealing with. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt though, she just got divorced, has a new boyfriend, she must be in a transitional phase and is probably trying to figure out who she really is.

I have never been a Gretchen fan - at least not of her personality. And when I came across those disgraceful pictures of her on the internet that sealed the deal. Last night when Tamra was dealing with her issues, Gretchen had to make it about her and "this is what you did to me.. now you know how I feel.." I'm surprised she didn't get a drink thrown in HER face! But she's a great business woman so I respect her in that sense.

Last but not least, Vicki - she has stayed Vicki through all six seasons. Sure, maybe she works a little much, but she's a working woman and everybody's priorities are different. Hopefully one day she'll have it all!

Real Housewives of OC Reunion Gets Nasty

"I don't think the way this went down was treated with class or dignity," says Donn, Vicki Gunvalson's estranged husband, of the reunion show for Real Housewives of Orange County's sixth season.

Between the screaming, the tears and the eye-rolling, there's going to be plenty of insults and accusations – all of which can be seen in a just-released, minute-long trailer for the upcoming episodes.

Tamra Barney, whose troubles with her ex and a new romance have been documented on the show, seems to be at the center of the storm.

"You were sleeping with another guy while your fiancé was dying," she says to Gretchen Rossi, who was engaged to the late Jeff Beitzel.

At one point in a clip of the show, which will air starting June 12 (9 p.m. ET) on Bravo, Tamra shrieks, "Is your ass jealous of the s–– that comes out of your mouth?"

She also accuses Jeana Keough of lying and gets into an argument with Gretchen's boyfriend, Slade Smiley, who accuses her of ... uh, promiscuous behavior.

"You're the lowest form of s–– in the world," Tamra says as she storms off the set.

Is Vicki Gunvalson Flaunting New Man Meat?

Somewhere, we know Vicki Gunvalson from Real Housewives of Orange County is yelling out her signature "Woohoo!"

After filing for divorce last October from Donn, her hubby of 16 years, who appears on the show, it seems the Bravo reality star is ready to move on. To a dude who looks just like Donn!

This week, a smiling Gunvalson and her new man were spotted shopping at the Faith Connexion store on Melrose, "laughing, flirting and sipping champagne," a source tells us.

But is "The O.C. O.G." really ready to go public with a new romance?

"No, we are not dating. He is just a friend," she tells E! exclusively.

However, a source from the store dishes to us that Gunvalson was introducing the man, Brooke Ayers, whom she met through work, as her boyfriend.

"She said they have been friends for a long time. She was raving about him and says he lets her be her, they have a great time together and she feels lucky to have found him," the store source reveals. "She was so sweet and seemed to be in love."

The two sipped on champagne in the trendy clothing store while Vicki picked up a white off-the-shoulder butterfly dress, which the source says she planned to wear to the reunion show, which is taping this week.

"Vicki also picked up four 'Faith' hats and Ayers picked up the entire tab for her purchases," adds the savvy source.

OC Vicki Tells Brandi Glanville To "Be Careful"

Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson has strong words for Brandi Glanville, the ex-wife of LeAnn Rimes’ husband Eddie Cibrian, who is joining the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“Be careful,” she tells me at the Mint Jubilee Celebration surrounding the Kentucky Derby. “It’s not all glamour. You’re going to shed some real tears. You’re going to see people hurt you that you never thought could hurt you before. I think she’s in for a rude awakening. It’s not all fun at times, but the experiences have been that of a lifetime. I wouldn’t change it for the world. It’s been great.”

Hm, what does he think of her Beverly Hills counterparts?

“I met all the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and they were lovely ladies,” she says. “It’s interesting that they would throw another franchise in the same one-hour distance from us, but we’re very different in regards to lifestyle and money. I mean, I wish I had their money. I don’t. We’re more of the middle-class of California, whereas they’re absolutely the upper class. I think that the viewers like California, they like the lifestyle, they like the color scheme, and both of our shows are being a hit because of that.”

Vicki, who debuted on the show in 2007, confesses that her portion of the reality show is as real as it gets.

“I just know my story’s all true. I don’t know what the other girls are doing. This is a reality TV show, and I feel like a lot of it is being lost in this pre-thinking about what we’re going to film. I don’t do that; my life is my life. When I cry, I cry real tears. When I laugh, I’m woo-hooing. I don’t know what the other women are up to; I stay focused on myself, my career, my family, and I try to do the right thing.”

What misconceptions could she clear up about herself?

“I think people love me or hate me,” she says.  “There’s no middle of the road. I’m lucky today at the Oaks, I had so many people come up and cry and say I’ve given them inspiration as a woman, and taught them good work ethic. They complimented me on being a good mother. If there’s anything negative, I don’t hear it. I try to stay away from the blogs and the bad things. I think the bad would be that I’m insensitive and I’m too hard, but I’m not. I’m compassionate and caring about other people. I give back to our community, and I love my work and my family. If that’s what makes me a bad person, then so be it.”

Vicki Gunvalson Melts Down Over Marital Woes

Real Housewives of Orange County's Vicki Gunvalson just isn't "woo-hooing" with as much vigor as she used to -- and with good reason.

As a new clip from Sunday's episode shows, the 48-year-old has had it with pals who prod her with relationship questions.

Recounting a dinner party Gunvalson attended with fellow wives Tamra Barney and Peggy Tanous, Gunvalson's husband, Donn, quickly becomes the lead topic of conversation. But when Tanous brings up how lively Donn was at the bash Gunvalson changes the subject.

"Every time someone would bring up Donn, I'd see Vicki get tighter and cringing," says Barney in a voiceover, as Tanous presses for more and her pal finally cracks.

"The reality is, my world is falling apart," the insurance executive -- who wed Donn in 1994 and filed for divorce in October -- laments. "My marriage is falling apart, my security is falling apart, and I'm miserable within my own mind and my body. I don't know where I belong anymore!"

As the couple's rocky romance crumbles on camera, Gunvalson admitted to Us Weekly in March that she and her estranged spouse were still living under the same roof.

"My love tank has truly been empty for many many years," Gunvalson said. "We stopped communicating. My happiness came from my work and my children," she explained of Michael and Brianna, her grown kids from her first marriage.

"I didn't go to Donn for friendship or companionship, and he didn't with me either," she told Us.

Vicki Gunvalson: Derby Poker Championship

Last night's Derby Poker Championship was a charity event to benefit Blessings in a Backpack. It wasn't uncommon to hear celebrities and pros alike shouting "Re-up! It's all for the kids!"

Among the first to go out were Real Housewives of Orange County's Vicki Gunvalson and Blue Collar Comedy's Ron White. Still going strong toward the latter part of the evening were Coach Denny Crum and Melissa Biggs from Baywatch.

When Phil Helmuth arrived on the red carpet I made sure to ask him whether or not he'd be on good behavior for the night. He said he hadn't decided quite yet. He was an entertaining emcee and frequently interviewed other poker pros and celebrities during the event. He was quick to give Ron White a hard time for going out so early, and even handed off the mic to Robert Williamson III so he could play a hand or two himself.

Everyone was in great spirits and took advantage of the bars on both levels serving Jim Beam and other drinks that helped party-goers get loose on the dance floor.

Surprising celebrity encounter of the evening was an impromptu chat with Ron White at the pizza place next to the Palace, where he told me I had cute boots and I told him I liked his Prada carryall (i.e. purse.) He was quick to respond, "Indiana Jones carried one just like it." He's funny even when he's not getting paid.

Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Barney: Cabo Magazine

Real Housewives of Orange County's favorite duo, Tamra Barney and Vicki Gunvalson, have shared their lovely faces and ample bosomry on the cover of Cabo Social magazine’s 5th Anniversary Issue!

Both ladies are sporting skimpy string bikinis with the headline “Real Housewives Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Barney Love Cabo.” The move is a bit surprising from the no-nonsense insurance mogul Vicki, but seems to the the new modus operandi for the recently divorced Tamra Barney, who has found a new zest for life after separating herself from her tumultuous relationship with ex Simon Barney and moving on to tan super-hunk Eddie Judge.

Both women are looking great (as usual) but Vicki looks a little different dontcha think? Maybe it’s the hair? Or maybe it’s the separation from husband Don that has transformed her look?

Cabo Social publishes their magazines online, but the May 2011 Issue with Vicki and Tamra isn’t on the site yet. (It shouldn’t be too much longer according to this tweet from the publication on April 26: “New MAY issue of Cabo Social Magazine featuring #realhousewives @tamrabarney and @vgunvalson out VERY SOON”)

Vicki Gunvalson: RHOC Caused My Divorce

Bravo's hit reality franchise focuses on the lives of "Real Housewives," but is it ending their marriages in the process?

Orange County's Vicki Gunvalson filed for divorce from her husband Donn last year, and claims the reality program had something to do with it.

"Six years ago when Donn and I started, we didn't have 90 percent of the problems that we have now and I truly believe it is the show," she tells CNN.

"[W]e had a good foundation. We really felt like we could battle it and the reality was I got too busy for him. My business in itself - I have 400 agents and 12 employees and I'm at the office a lot because I was trying to film TV in there and then he felt deflated… the center of my universe was not my husband," she says. "I didn't have anything left for him and we grew distant. If I didn't have the show I would have had more time for him. That's the reality."

But Gunvalson cautions that the show isn't at the root of all their troubles - her "Housewives" co-star Tamra Barney also split from her husband, but Gunvalson says that sometimes it's just a matter of life playing out in front of the camera.

“Look there's gonna be divorces and there is gonna be deaths like when Lou Knickerbocker died. We didn't expect that," she says. "[T]his is the reality and if you are throwing your life on a reality TV show, you have to be prepared for the consequences."
