Don’t ever call Vicki Gunvalson a “friend” of “The Real Housewives of Orange County.” On her demotion in Season 14, she told Entertainment Tonight, “First of all, when they told me I was going to have a reduced role, I said, ‘I’m never a friend. I started this franchise. I’m never going to be a friend … I will never come back part time. I’m either all in or all out. I’m not a part-time girl.”

It seems as if Gunvalson just couldn’t stay away from the show after being gone for two seasons. At BravoCon 2022, the OG confirmed rumors of her possibly returning to “RHOC” after being spotted out and about with Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador. “Just the Tres Amigas, we’re having lunch. We definitely filmed a little scene. I’m going to be doing a little cameo — one or two times — that’s it this season. It was good,” she told E! News. Although her role will be minor for Season 17, Judge has hopes that her partner in crime will come back in a bigger capacity for future seasons.
