"It's really frightening bringing back Brooks into my life publicly," Gunvalson told Us Weekly when asked why she continued to film with her on-again boyfriend after receiving backlash following her daughter Briana Culberson's famous clash with him. "[Bravo] basically put the gauntlet down and said, 'If you don't film with Brooks, then we are reducing your role.' And I was like, 'Oh no! You did not just say that!'"
Vicki also opened up about Brooks’ recent stage 3 cancer diagnosis. She says the hardship has brought them closer than ever and confirms they are still a couple.
"[Cancer] either will tear you apart as a couple or bring you together. And with us, without a doubt, it's brought us together," Ayers explained. "So, yes, we are exclusive, we are dating, we are together," Gunvalson confirmed. "It's official."
After nine seasons, Gunvalson reveals she's nowhere near being done with the Real Housewives franchise.
"I am not going to throw in the towel on the Housewife franchise," she said, laughing, "I will be in a walker with my botox and my false eyelashes. I mean, at the end of the day, they're going to have to kill me off!"
