Emily Simpson reveals that she saw the *"red flags"* in Vicki Gunvalson's now-former relationship with Steve Lodge. *“I wasn’t surprised [about their split] just because when we were at her engagement party I remember talking to Vicki’s brother and her brother told me at the engagement party that they were never gonna get married and [Steve] wasn’t into her. So I was like, ‘Wow, that was a lot,’”* Emily admitted on the January 18 episode of [Us Weekly](https://www.usmagazine.com/podcasts/getting-real-with-the-housewives/emily-simpson-vicki-gunvalsons-ex-steve-lodge-was-an-opportunist/)’s “Getting Real with the Housewives” podcast. *“I felt like he was an opportunist and I think the red flags were there.”* Earlier this month, Steve announced his engagement to Janis Carlson, which comes three months after his split from Vicki. Vicki quickly dubbed Steve a *“fame whore [who] is all about staying relevant.”* Oddly enough Emily agrees with Vicki's point of view. *“I just think Vicki wanted her love tank filled and she wanted it to work out and she wanted to see the best him,”* Emily explained. *“She thought they had a future together, but I think he was, you know, in it for the camera time or whatever, and then he moved on. So, you know, I feel badly for her.”* Despite her rocky relationship with the OG of the OC, Emily would like to see Vicki back on the *Real Housewives of Orange County*. *“I wouldn’t mind Vicki back on the show. I think Vicki’s good on the show,”* Emily confessed*.** “I think she’s funny and I think she’s quirky and I think she says funny things and I think she does funny things and I think she’s good TV.”* *The Real Housewives of Orange County *airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm EST on Bravo. ## Do you agree with Emily?
