DIANA KING said it all! Bravo, Diana.....and ditto, too!!!!

Vicky and I observed during the series and want you to know that you are the best of housewives as you show that you are a business woman
But remember to relax if you want your investments to continue to grow

As a working woman myself, it absolutely KILLS me when Tamra and Alexis plan get togethers during the weekday and then get all "offended" when you tell them you can't attend because you work. They seem to take it as a personal jab, and then accuse you of constantly throwing it in their faces that you work. When in reality, you're not throwing it in their faces, you're just stating the obvious; some people have to work for a living! And you would think that by now they should know your answer will always be NO if it's an event between the hours of 8-5 Monday thru Friday! Not all of us have the luxury to be able to have someone watch our kids during the day while we just run to the gym, get our nails done, hair done, make-up done, shop, grab drinks with the girls, etc. on a daily basis!!!

Ignore all of the haters Vick. They just don't understand. You are way too smart and too
put together for this crowd. They are beneath you. And tamara is not your friend.

Stay strong and God Bless your daughter always

Hi Vicky...so glad to hear that Brianna is doing better. I am going through the same thing. I am scheduled for an ultrasound on my Thyroid next week. From there if there are nodules, I will have to have the same thing done as Brianna did. Its very scary and just wanted you to know that I can relate to what you are going through. Keeping Brianna in my prayers.

I've had benign multinodular goiter for over 30 years. My left lobe is completely overtaken by nodules. I'm in my mid 50's and although they have slowly grown over the years, they remain benign. I've had neck pain, tiredness, and a fluctuating TSH level for many years. Hopefully Briana will continue to have a benign course, as thyroidectomy is major surgery not to be taken lightly. You can live with this condition and it never becomes cancer. Best of luck to Briana!

Vickie, When you were bonked on the head by a football last season and fell as you were accepting some kind of insurance award, didn't it dawn on you that the universe was trying to tell you something?! You are mean. i also believe that you are unhappy because you have gained so much weight..also, after a while we all get the face we deserve...perhaps this why you look so pinched...my best to your daughter; she is awesome

You and the other women are nothing short of apalling. Utterly and completely apalling. The only "housewife" who has any class, any dignity, any maturity at all is - Briana, and she said it best last night: "...this is why most of my friends are men..." All of you need to go back to the first grade and stop giving the rest of the adult women on this planet a bad name. I rarely watch anymore because I have just never seen women behave like you all do - especially you - and after last night, I will never watch again. Do you get along with ANYONE on the show other than your daughter? Anyone at all? You have openly clashed with your husband, Simon, Jeana, your mother, your son, Tamra, Gretchen, Alexis, Lynn... You all are a bunch of vicious, petty, vindictive, back-stabbing, self-absorbed, pathetic little girls who have everything in life yet will sit in a hotel room and cry because you don't have a date for the evening's festivities.

p.s. your table manners are just as terrible as Alexis' - business obligations DO NOT excuse cell phone use in any restaurant. Do you do that in front of a client?

Vicki,

i completely agree with you...and what you said was not i repeat not out of line!

i am young and i have seen what it means to keep what one has by working hard...you and dons relationship is not messed up there are other couples out there like yours. i just want to say the girls shouldn't have gained up on you and just to keep doing what you do because in the end you are the one ahead!

Vicki, i love you but hon, it is all you - completely all you. You throw out the insults and then when people come back at you in defense, you accuse them of attacking you. you can dish it but you sure cannot take it - they are right. and what is so very sad, i know you have a good heart but PLEASEEEEE take tonights video to a shrink and ask them to critique. I doubt this email will be on your site because it seems to be all blind support and not helpful info - your daughter has got you pegged - she is just willing to overlook it and has probably decided it is better to just not engage - but hon, as i said earlier, i love you, but it is you!! your insecurity is ruling your life - with all due respect to you, support comes in all forms and i hope you take my word to heart - i am not attacking - i just know what you need to do to finally be happy - it is you!

Hi Vicki,
Great job! Don't let those so called friends get you down, they are just jealous of you. Good luck to your daughter, and God bless you and your family.

hi vicki just got done wacting the show i thought you were the better person and they need to take a lesson from you she was the
one who start the fight and if tamra was a true freind she would
have stood up for you

Vicki, Vicki, Vicki!!! Are you serious! Do you not SEE how hateful you are? Alexis did nothing wrong! You getting so defensive just reinforces to people how mean-spirited you are. Save that "balls to the wall" nonsense for the office. When you're in a social environment, is it too much to ask of you to be cordial and polite? I know you were upset about Briana but you're the one that said, "Bring it on"! If I were on that show, you'd hate me, too because I'm just as opinionated as Alexis is and there's nothing wrong with that. You can be opinionated and diplomatic while being honest at the same time. Even your own daughter and your "friend", Tamra, said things against you. And do you not recall your friend, Jeana, leaving the show because of the ugliness of you and Tamra? Right is right and wrong is wrong and you were wrong! How you behaved at Lynne's dinner party was uncalled for. I do think that Simon saying those things was wrong as in his timing. That wasn't the place for that conversation. When Tamra vents to you and you comment on it, she's wrong to go back to Simon and repeat everything. I think that's where he thinks you're in his marriage. You're not, you're just telling Tamra what you think about what she's telling you. SHE'S the one in the wrong there. That whole scene could have been avoided had she 1) not said anything to Simon and 2) not started with, "Are you two ok"? That would have pissed me off, too. You seem to have a lot of anger because your fuse is WAY too short. Maybe you should rethink the show.

Vicki,

It is amazing to me, because you're obviously smart that you honestly think you're the nice one and do not deserve the flack you got at the restaurant. First of all, honey, if you cannot take it, don't dish it out. Your behavior (the falling asleep thing)at Lynne's party was rude, without class and quite frankly beneath someone of your accomplishments. You thrive on trouble and a perfect example of your mouth being on fast-forward and your brain on rewind was your reaction to your daughter's health. Your first thought (verbally anyway) to your own daughter was about your work and it obviously hurt her. You continually stir up trouble between the women, which is a sign of insecurity. Also, you need to realize something, friends should not be expected to "have your back" when you are wrong. Do you not watch your own show and your behavior? Seriously, try to be as good a person as your are a business woman, it will be rewarding.

Hi Vicki, I just wanted to say I hope things worked out for your daughter and her health. I had thryoid cancer at 19 and it came as a suprise as well. It can be tough as a young woman to have this illness come and takeover your life and impact your health so quickly. Im 24 now and I am cancer free, but still dealing with getting healthy and losing the weight from hypothyroidism. There are lots of resources for cancer survivors and I wish her the best.
Love the show and keep being you! ( I totally cried when you and Don renewed your vows I think that was a really sweet way to make your relationship even stronger.)
-Veronica

Dear Vicki,

You are by far my favorite and the housewife I most respect. You are independent, successful, classy and know what you want in life. You are hard working and go after it. I am a firm believer of working hard and earning it yourself. I strongly believe in a certain amount of independence in a marriage too - it's healthy. I think you've got it all so don't let anyone tell you different. You go girl!

Rebecca

Hi Vicki,

I have to agree with you that the show has changed since Alexis came on board. She self righteous hypocrite and gets worse with each episode. It is also sad to see the other housewives stooping to her level out of stupidity. I feel for you and the pain that has been inflicted by what used to be friends. I came to the same conclusion as your daughter after seeing the episode about your “Girls Trip” to Florida. You are a different person than the other on the show. It is to be expected in life; we all change and grow and our friends don’t always take that journey with us. I think this is the case for you. You are more down-to-earth and keep it “real” whereas they appear to “float.” There is a lot of self-centeredness, inflated egos, selfishness, and irrational thinking going on among the other housewives which results in the “attacks” on you for speaking truthfully. They can’t deal in reality or they may have to admit they were the ones whose behavior was inappropriate and unacceptable; it’s easier to hide than face your flaws. Anyway, the good news if that you are not alone; there are many women in the world like you who work hard; believe in honest friendships; and want to enjoy some fun time out with girls. You can have everything you want in your friendships, you just need to keep looking for the right friends; the ones on the show aren’t it.

On a note of my own, I am dying to see someone slap Alexis up-side her head. I think it might jump start her brain.

Vicki you have a strong personality and that is one of the reasons you are a successful woman! YOU GO GIRL! Shame on Alexis to be so petty and crude to bring up the dinner party! I think Alexis is all about Alexis and she needs to get over herself! I hope all goes well with Briana, she's a lovely young woman and I know you are so very proud of her.
I wish I could find Lynne's blog. She might take a look at your children. I would be so embarrassed to see my children act the way hers do! I feel sorry for her husband, she appears to be on another planet.

Vicki-

After watching tonight's show, I think it is time to take Don's advice and Jeana's lead and get away from these women. The reason why they have issue with you is because you are everything they aren't. Yes, you can be very frank with your comments, but you say it like it is. These women are just bringing you down, Tamara included. I will keep Brianna in my prayers. I have thyroid disease and know how hard the symptoms are.

Hi Vicki,

I agree with your daughter completely, these ladies lead a different lifestyle which is why they don't quite understand you. Additionally, you should keep your distance from Tamara and her issues with her husband. In my experience there is always two sides to every story and typically in the heat of the moment the story your friends tell you are completely emotional and at times irrational. Oh yeah and her husband is insecure and out out of control which is why he feels he needs to control his wife.

Stay strong and independent!

Vicki I'm glad Brianna's tumors were benign & I hope she is doing better. As for you young lady, unless they get more classier women for the housewives next season you should really think about moving on (i.e. Laurie, Jeanna). They're fake wanna-be's that will never be on the same level as you. Simply put... they don't have any class!

KARMA!!!!!!!look it up! As you sow, so shall you reap!!! What goes around comes around! Vicki, other people have feelings, you are rude and insulting put yourself in the other persons place! The fun is gone because they are tired of taking your crap! Do you have any other friends besides these girls? I doubt it! Friendship requires participation from both people not blind loyalty to the QUEEN!!!

I respect you and how hard you work, but at times you do have a sharp tongue and you do think you are better than the other housewives. I think Alexis is a big hypocrite, but she was right on the money when she said you can dish it but you can't take it. Maybe it wasn't the right time and place, but you had it coming. As for your daughter, I wish her all the best and you should be very proud of her. She definitely behaved like the bigger person during that luncheon. She should get her own show teaching people how to behave.

Hey Vicky! First off I want to say my prayers go out to you and your family and I hope all is well with your daughter. You are my favorite on the show. I feel that you are much better off without those women in your life. Tamra is the biggest fake on the planet. She tells you how she have your back but quick to talk about you when ur not around. Your the only one who actually have ur head on straight and not having to down sized or make cut backs. You may work alot of hours but all ur hard work pays off when you are able to take a trip when you want or buy whatever you want with no problems. Dont let Simon get to you he just mad that you make more money than he do lol.

Vicki,
Why did you let a 33 year old let you cry? You call her out and make her cry. You are slipping in your old age. Alexis is a hypocrite. Gretchen likes trouble with anyone.Praying and making somebody cry does not mix.

Vicki-Love ya' girl...but you do dish it out, but can't take it. Just have fun. Allow others to have some attention. It's ok to be in the background.

PS--Don't "eyeroll" when others talk. Just be nice.

Get over yourself! Let your daughter and son live their own lives. Stop trying to interfere in the other houseweives business. You work, your not losing your home, blah, blah, blah! Seriously, take a cue from Gina(who by the way you totally stabbed in the back) and leave the show if you are soooo unhappy!

HI Vicky,

I am a huge fan of the show! You were by far my favorite housewife, but this season you have become my least favorite. You are so judgmental of everyone and I think you are jealous of all the other housewives. You keep saying you love your life, but all you do is justify to everyone. Doesnt sound like happiness to me!

Please change your attitude!!!

SA Sexy Girl,
TX

I feel bad for your daughter and hope everything works out. As far as the lunch went, you were totally wrong. You have been making terrible comments, most of which are none of your business to everyone and when someone tells you,you cry like a little baby. Yes this season it appears that you are trying to turn over a new leaf with your personality. Its seems like every there is any conflict, you make a scene a cry. That is not a strong woman to me. A strong woman can talk like an adult and take take what she dishes out. You clearly can't. I can't believe you are not embarrassed when you see yourself on tv.

I am so glad someone stood up to you! As one of the people who work everyday and respect women who work from home stop using your job as an excuse. You chose to be on this show so you have enough time for it. It requires that you spend time with the other women. If you are so busy at work quit the show and stop using it to drum up bussiness.

Vicki - I think you are amazing business woman, wife & mother. I do however feel that you dish it out and can't take it. You just don't want to deal with it. It's time you "own it". You back peddle too much after the comments you make to the other women. Whether you are right or not...own the comments you make and stop acting like a victim. Stick up for yourself the way you do in the business world and stop acting like a wuss.

Take care of your daughter and yourself. Brianna's health should been the first consideration of each of those narcissistic women. Brianna's ability to relax that weekend should have been their focus at the lunch table. There is something wrong with those women - they are too self involved.

Vicki and Brianna,
I am watching the 2/18/10 episode as I write....as my daughter would text:OMG...Vicki,all my REAL prayers go to Brianna;that was the worst ,what we call,Bible Banging prayer I have ever heard :ALEXIS!!!!!Hello,is anyone home in that cranium[yeah,I am a nurse too Brianna]
Hate to be so hard on people,but did Bravo pick this couple on purpose to stir some banter?
Vicki,you are right on tract;marriage is ongoing and evolving;that what it is;it is NOT a free ride anymore;women do not NEED to be married;it's about love and comittment;if the wife has work great;if the husband has work great;;;;the onlt thing that really needs to be discerned is the children issue;some are more traditional;some are more into Mr. Mom;etc..it seems you have all gotten through the worst decisions and are all on the same plate;
The funny part is is that I work with someone who 'Zooms" like you do..
However ,you think before you do and she does not..!
I am curious to see as the shows unfold who ends up being your real friends!
Go for it Anne Marie

I love you!! and I'm so proud of your daughter!! If I were straight I would marry her!! I hate Alexis...money cannot buy class!! Obviously!!

I have seen a constant pattern in the shows. You have this tough girl mouth and attitude. You like to judge everyone else and tell them how it is. However, the second they stick up for themselves or better yet give you back a taste of what you dish, you run off and boo hoo cry. It is pathetic. If you want kindness- give kindness. When you give attitude, don't cry when you get attitude back. Our actions directly effect how people react to us. You constantly cry about how you are being treated so poorly and yet you don't seem to think you have anything to do with it- Tamara hit the nail on the head when she said "victim."

Hi Vicki - I haven't enjoyed watching you on the show recently - however, now that the social Christian Alexis is on the show - I'm back on team Vickie. The florida trip was incredibly insensitive by all of the housewives and I can't believe no one gets it. Brianna helped put the San Franciscon trip into perspective. A bunch of rich over indulged women whiming about who said what to hurt my feelings. Girlfriends are always honest with each other and yes feelings get hurt - but Aleix was attacking you and only did it because she had an audience . . . . however, remember to not wrestle with pigs . . . you both get dirty. Take your own advice and take the higher road.

Bravo to you Vicki! You are such a down to earth REAL person! You work hard and play hard. I just love that you have rekindled your marriage! This is what I was waiting for! Those other housewives whom right now I do not feel deserves to even be mentioned by name in your comment space here are vicious! They are so freakin busy dogin you that they don't even know the real Vicki! You know what! Too bad - their lost! Everyone should have a friend like you in their life! Your a great role model to many women and an awesome mother & wife! Cheers to you and I know you will leave their crap behind and be just fine! Your heart will hurt because of their mean selfish insecurities, yet who you are will never change! And this is why we Love you!
God Bless you & your Family!

Stand your ground. You have tried to stay cool and present yourslef in the best posb. manner at times that could not have been easy. Alexis is not worth the time of day. Niether is Tammra. There will always be women jealous of your success, both in business and home. OMG what her husband said to the pastor?????????? WTF. Yeah...real class act, that whole group. May God watch over your family and keep them healthy, happy and harmonously in love with life.

Vikki, stay strong! You are the only respectable woman on the show!

"Briana doesn't think I "fit in" with these girls anymore"
Bri is right, Vicki.
The show has changed since Tamra joined, actually. It took a more horrible turn when Gretchen joined. It's just not a good show anymore. You are above it and should leave it behind as something you did for awhile.

Lori and Jeana have the right idea ... you should follow their lead.

Having said that, I would miss you, Vicki. I don't like the show much anymore.

MRS.VICKI YOUR FAMILY IS IN OUR PRAYERS.....BE STRONG AND STAY POSITIVE....GOD ANSWERS PRAY....AND HE MAY NOT COME WHEN WE WANT HIM BUT HE IS ALWAYS ON TIME....

MUCH LOVE TO U & URS

MESHEL

Mrs.Vicki (I say that because you truly have earned that title) you are the top housewife to out of ALL .....yes you are hard at times but its because you only want and expect the best from your friends and fam....I think out of everyone you AND your family have it wrapped tight....I would love to be in your position when i get to be as young as you...i am a hairstylist at a hospital for seniors and though it is slow motion i need someting else on the side that can cushion my family when the time comes...I am a single mom of four...Mrs Vicki what can i do to get there...i dont want to be broke forever....do you have any tips...something ...anything...i am so open for ideas.....pls help me brainstorm....if they show my email use it....DESPERATE MOM OF FOUR...!!!!!!!!!!

You are a complete woman, strong, intelligent, professional, wife and mother. As a single working mother of 3 for over 20 years I can certainly understand and relate. Your t.v. friends are a 'little' threatened by you - 'maybe' a bit jealous. What would they do w/out their husbands? The men in their lives feel threatened by an independent woman being friends w/their wives, they want to control them. Don't waste your tears on their comments. P.S.: It takes a real man who is sure of himself to be married to someone like you. Congrats!

Vicki,
I know how it feels for y'all to go through this rough time about Briana's health. I had cancer when i was 10 and the day of my 5 years of remission I found out my mom had cancer. Were both in remission now and thank god everyday for this blessing. I admire y'alls strength through that rough time and Briana's and yours relationship reminds me of my moms and I and how close y'all are. I hope the results are benign.
Keeping y'all in my prayers.
Remember to keep being strong..we can conquer anything as long as we have hope and strength and faith.

I am 28 and was diagnosed with thyroid cancer back in April. It went to my lymph nodes. I went through surgeries and treatment. IF she wants support tell her to email me! I have been through it all!!

Vicki you are tough and you will be fine. You keep reminding Alexis of who she really is. She is superficial and is not a true housewife. She is living in a Fantasy world and will probably be divorced in the future. I am not impressed by her at all. I see her as a put on. You just keeping putting her in her place.

I would just like to tell you that i love you!!! Let those jealous women talk about you after you leave lynns home - so what? you are blessed to have trust in your relationship so that you and don dont have to be stuck up each others butts! you have EARNED everything that you have - and you did it all while raising children. you show it is possible. you are a great business woman and mother! Tamra is NOT a good friend - Alexis is FAKE. be who you are and trust in that!

we are praying for your daughter.

Oh Vicki!!! You are awesome! I admire your work ethic, your mothering attributes, and your ever present love for the people that you care about. Do not let the rest of the ladies, and I use that term loosely, get you down. They are all ridiculous. Alexis had absolutely no right to call you out on anything. I am shocked that no one has ever said those things to any of those women. Keep your head up. I hope all goes well with your daughter and her health. Lots of love to all of you!

Vicki
You are the "womean of the world" Early you were hard on your husband, BUT U made it right.You know what you want and you made it right. I'm 35 (an single) and have a 6 yr. old child and 4 horses to take care of, an live at home with my mother that works 7 days a week. You work and are a devoted mother AND NEVER COMPLAINS about working. You make this show worth watching, an inspiration to all. Anyway, i guess what i saying the other housewives are not in your shoes, your happy with what you doing and they are not. Hope you get to read this, I on facebook (shane Melnick) you can check my lively hood out!!! WHOOOO HOOOO!!!
