Vicki Gunvalson's RHOC Season 17 Reunion Cameo

When it came time for a filming break, reunion host Andy Cohen's phone mysteriously buzzed. He picked it up and revealed to the RHOC ladies — Shannon Storms BeadorHeather DubrowGina KirschenheiterEmily SimpsonTamra Judge, and Jennifer Pedranti — that he had gotten a text from none other than Vicki.

"Oh, Jesus," Tamra aptly responded. 

Andy, meanwhile, began to giggle at his phone. "This is hysterical," he said while looking at what Vicki had sent. "Someone has posted a seating chart of the reunion and it's me with Vicki all around. It's me with six Vickis." 

The meme had indeed placed Vicki's face where the actual RHOC Season 17 cast members were sitting (Tamra directly to Andy's left, followed by Shannon and Emily, and Heather directly to Andy's right, followed by Gina and Jennifer).

"I think she has some FOMO," Tamra noted of her fellow Tres Amigas member

What Vicki Gunvalson Has Been Up to Recently

In case you need a refresher, Vicki departed RHOC after Season 14. She then made her return earlier this season, and upon coming back, she shared several life updates. 

Among them was that her son, Michael Wolfsmith, “bought another house in Pacific Beach, California.”

Vicki's daughter, Briana Culberson, meanwhile, is living in Illinois (she has since moved again), Vicki said. As RHOC fans may recall, Briana and her husband, Ryan Culberson, are parents to sons Hank, Owen, and Troy, and daughter Cora Rose.

In addition to discussing what her kids have been up to, Vicki dished on her dating life and her boyfriend, Michael Smith. As she put it, “I’ve been dating a really nice man for about a year now.”

RHOC producer sought more information, specifically asking Vicki about her sex life. Her response? “[My] sex life is great. He’s incredible.” 

Vicki has lots of exciting things lined up for her future, too. First and foremost, she's set to attend BravoCon 2023 and be honored with the top award at The Bravos, a night of glitz and glamour honoring Bravo’s most iconic stars. Vicki is set to be honored at BravoCon with the Wifetime Achievement Award.
