A Shocking Revelation at BravoCon! Gretchen Rossi Drops a Bombshell.
In the midst of the excitement surrounding Vicki Gunvalson's comeback on The Real Housewives of Orange County, a potential drama unfolds.
Gretchen's Exclusive Reveal:
"You won't believe this, but Vicki and I had some interesting exchanges over the summer. She was texting me about Tamra, and let me tell you, it was insane!" Gretchen shared with Us Weekly at BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas.
"I mean, the things she was saying... It's going to be quite the ride to see how everything plays out," she added, leaving us all curious about the dynamics between the cast.
Vicki's Emotional Return:
The official announcement of Vicki's comeback to reality TV was a heart-stopping moment at the fan convention in Sin City. Andy Cohen, with an orange in hand, surprised Vicki on stage, asking her to rejoin the show for Season 20.
"Vicki, would you like to be a housewife again?" Cohen asked, leaving Vicki visibly emotional. (Remember, she was a key part of the show's launch and appeared for 14 seasons before her departure in 2020.)
After this thrilling moment, Vicki shared her experience with Us, explaining how she prepared a speech but was caught off guard by Cohen's question.
"I thought it was my last time on stage, my last BravoCon moment. I was ready to go out with a bang, but when he asked about Season 20, it took a while for it to sink in. I'm grateful and excited for this new chapter," she said.
Tamra's Take on the Reunion:
While Gretchen hinted at some lingering tension, Tamra Judge, Vicki's longtime friend and costar, expressed her excitement for the upcoming season. She told Us that she was genuinely surprised by the news.
"I had no idea this was coming. I've been spending time with Vicki lately, and we even talked about the next season, but she hadn't heard anything either. She was as shocked as I was!"
Tamra later shared that she was "so happy" to see Vicki accepting her orange on stage, and revealed a sweet detail: her husband, Eddie Judge, was sitting next to Vicki's boyfriend, Michael Smith, during the momentous occasion.
"Michael's reaction was priceless. He was in awe, just like Eddie would have been. Now, Eddie will have a buddy to hang out with at Bravo events!"
And Here's the Controversial Bit...
