Vicki Gunvalson isn’t walking back her comments about Heather Dubrow’s finances.
Ahead of more drama on “The Real Housewives of Orange County” season 20, the OG addressed Heather and Dr. Terry Dubrow’s wealth, shared an update on Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador’s fractured friendship, and teased what viewers can expect this season.
Vicki Gunvalson Says Heather Dubrow Should ‘Own It’
During the season 20 premiere of “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” Vicki suggested that Heather and Terry inherited a significant portion of their wealth, saying there aren’t many doctors living in “$40 million homes.”
After Heather denied the claim and noted that both of their mothers are still alive, Vicki stood by her opinion in a new interview with Page Six’s Virtual-Reali-Tea.
“I mean, Terry’s brother passed away. She said her parents are still alive. No, his father’s passed, and so has her father’s. And both parents weren’t married when they passed,” Vicki explained.
“I’m in financial planning. I have a lot of history on legacy planning in regards to where does the money go when people die? It’s going to go somewhere. And if it went to them, good for them. Own it. … I personally think, because I’ve been doing this 36 years, there is a legacy plan.”
The ‘OG of the OC’ Tried to Play Peacemaker Between Tamra and Shannon
Vicki also opened up about the ongoing tension between Tamra and Shannon, revealing she stepped in to try to calm things down.
“You’ll see this season, I did my very best to just kind of be the intermediator, but also say, ‘We gotta stop this!'” she said.
“In the real picture of the world, what are you guys fighting about? … OK, let’s say you don’t respect each other, let’s say you don’t like each other — but we’ve gotta work together, we’ve got to be able to do this. So you’re gonna see, I think things evolve a little bit.”
According to Vicki, Shannon didn’t believe she had anything to apologize for during the disagreement.
“Be authentic,” Vicki added. “Would you do this in real life? Because if you wouldn’t do it in real life, what are you doing it on camera for?”
New episodes of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” season 20 air Thursdays on Bravo.
