Vicki Gunvalson is speaking out against Tamra Judge and Alexis Bellino, claiming they are “nasty humans” and “mean girls” amid their feuds with Shannon Beador.
While also suggesting John Janssen, 61, may not be the marrying kind and shading his $75,000 lawsuit against Shannon, 60, the 62-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star accused Tamra, 56, and Alexis, 47, of “hurting people” as she reacted to Alexis’ “welcome to my world” diss.
“They’re nasty human beings. The only way that they get any type of following or whatever is if they’re hurting other people, and I don’t subscribe to that. I don’t like that. They are mean girls,” Vicki stated on the My Friend, My Soulmate podcast, via Bye Wig Hello Drama on X.
According to Vicki, who said she will “never be that person,” she asked Tamra why she thinks she has to act that way and was told, “‘This is what I get paid for.’”
As for what she said about Tamra having vinegar running through her veins and a black heart, Vicki confirmed Tamra told her that about herself.
“Who do you know that would say that about themselves? I don’t know anybody,” Vicki stated. “I’ve never been around anybody that is that mean … [Tamra] has no empathy. When you’re hurting and down, down, down, she’ll kick you … or pour gasoline on you.”
Moving on to Alexis, Vicki admitted she “wanted to hit” her when she said, “Welcome to my world,” a line Vicki previously uttered to Alexis years ago.
Vicki also said she felt that the comment was “100 percent” rehearsed.
“And she giggles at herself. It’s like, ‘Go away, girl.’ She is so f*cking obnoxious,” she complained. “She is a nasty person. She and Tamra will be nasty — with Johnny J. It’s like, ‘Move on, girl.’”
In recent months, Alexis has frequently spoken about marrying John, but Vicki isn’t so sure it will happen.
“Maybe she’ll ask him to marry her,” Vicki shared on the podcast, via Bye Wig Hello Drama on Instagram. “[But] John had been dating another girl for 10 years, and they were supposedly engaged, and they never got married.”
“He likes relationships like most of us do. I don’t know if he’s gonna get married, but she says they are. So, good luck, b*tch,” Vicki added.
In addition to wondering if they’ll actually wed, Vicki also questioned Alexis’ many defenses of John.
“Why is she defending him so much? I feel like I’m looking in the mirror of how I was with [Brooks Ayers],” she explained, giving a nod to her ex-boyfriend who scammed her with fake claims about a cancer diagnosis. “I defended Brooks because I loved him and we were gonna be together forever. I didn’t say we were gonna get married, but I really thought he was my soulmate, and I can see her totally defending Johnny J because he doesn’t have a voice right now.”
“He wants to be behind the scenes so he’s giving her screenshots of these receipts of wire transfers he did. He did that voluntarily. There was no like, ‘Oh, Shannon, I’m gonna borrow you $35,000 or $40,000 and then [another] $35,000 and you have to pay me back and sign this promissory note,’” Vick shared. “There was never talk about it because Shannon paid for everything. I was there. I was there in New York. I was there when she bought him clothes at John Varvatos. Every time.”
“I saw her being very generous,” Vicki added, noting that Shannon would often upgrade their flights and hotel rooms.
As Shannon and John remain locked in a court battle over the $75,000 he claims to have loaned her for a facelift, Vicki suspected Shannon took the money because they were in a partnership at the time and her finances were tied up with other things.
“I’m sure she thought, ‘He’s helping me. I’m in between contracts and I need some help.’ She’s paying for the girls’ college, and what [David Beador] doesn’t pay, she pays. It’s expensive. Three girls in college. So maybe she fell behind on something,” Vicki posed.
Either way, Vicki said John “voluntarily” offered the money.
“But now that he’s dating Alexis, he wants his money back. And she was willing to pay him back — just so everybody knows — if he would sign a non-disparage agreement and he wouldn’t do that,” Vicki continued, hinting that John has ulterior motives with the case. “[He] never asked for the money back at any point in time, even when Shannon got a new contract … Never said anything. It’s Alexis. It’s dirty-pool. I can’t believe that Bravo brought her back. Of all the people to bring back, bring back Gretchen Rossi.”
During another segment of the My Friend, My Soulmate podcast, shared on Instagram, Vicki again spoke of Alexis’ “welcome to my world” declaration, signaling to Alexis’ “friend” status on RHOC.
“That dinner that you all saw, Shannon asked me to go and I’m like, ‘Of course I’m gonna go.’ We showed up a little late because they stagger when everybody’s coming in. We were the last ones and two things happened immediately. Alexis’ like, ‘Welcome to my world.’ I’m like, ‘Sit down, b*tch. It’s still my world.’ She’s just a friend, and hopefully, they won’t bring her on full-time,” Vicki stated. “From what I’m hearing, the viewers are not loving on her. She’s not a kind, nice person.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
