Vicki Gunvalson is firing back after Robyn Dixon questioned why she seemed uncomfortable during the Atlanta stop on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star responded after Robyn discussed Vicki’s behavior on Reasonably Shady, where Robyn said she personally felt Vicki was “extremely standoffish” at the Atlanta party hosted by Porsha Williams.
Robyn said Vicki’s energy made her not want to introduce herself.
“I personally felt that Vicki was uncomfortable at the party,” Robyn said. “I saw her and she was extremely standoffish to the point, I never met her before and the way she was moving or acting, I was like yeah I am not going to introduce myself to her.”
Robyn then questioned whether Vicki felt unimportant because the event was centered around the Atlanta women, or whether there was a deeper discomfort.
“Was she feeling I’m not important here because this was about Atlanta or because she hasn’t been around that many Black people in her life?” Robyn asked. “That was my number one thought.”
Gizelle Bryant immediately pushed back on taking the conversation there, saying she likes Vicki and believes Vicki is simply more comfortable in spaces where she already knows people.
“Okay I’m not going to go there only because I do like Vicki,” Gizelle said.
Gizelle explained that Vicki did not know many of the Housewives in Atlanta and may have felt like no one was talking about her or knew who she was. Gizelle also pointed out that this is where someone should introduce themselves and make an effort.
Now, Vicki is responding directly.
After Reality Blurb posted a headline about Robyn’s comments on Threads, Vicki jumped into the comments and shut down the speculation.
“This is complete bullshit!” Vicki wrote. “Shut up unless you know what you are talking about! I don’t even know you!!!”
Vicki’s reaction comes after her RHUGT behavior became a major topic among viewers and cast members.
During the Atlanta stop, some fans felt Vicki appeared checked out, uncomfortable and uninterested in mingling with the group. Tamra Judge also recently called out Vicki on Two Ts in a Pod, saying she should have made more of an effort to communicate with the other Housewives.
“You should make an effort, and you should try to talk to them,” Tamra said. “And just because you don’t know them or they haven’t been on as long as you doesn’t mean you can’t communicate with them.”
Tamra added that Vicki’s behavior “wasn’t a good look.”
Andy Cohen has also weighed in on the criticism. On SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, Andy suggested Vicki may have been adjusting to being back on television after not filming for several years. He also noted that Vicki is in a different life stage than many of the women and may have struggled during the early stops of the trip.
Andy also said Vicki eventually gets her “groove back” as the season continues.
