Vicki Gunvalson Reflects On Her Past Dramatic Relationship With Brooks Ayers: “He Wasn’t A Monster”

During a recent interview, Vicki Gunvalson reflects on her past dramatic relationship with Brooks Ayers. While Vicki says she has not spoken to her ex in nearly two years, the Real Housewives of Orange County star has a message for the fans.

"He wasn't this monster in my life. He wasn't. The viewers may think he was, but he wasn't," Vicki explained to E! News. "Did he turn into a monster towards the end? He did a lot of weird ass crazy things that I still don't understand because I don't talk to him."

She added, "I don't know why he did what he did, but he wasn't a monster. He wasn't really the man I thought he was if he did what he did to me."

The OG of the OC claims if given the opportunity to talk to her ex again is to ask him: Why?

"Why did you reveal bad records? Why did you do what you did to me?" she shared. "We had a good thing going or so I thought, but why? I still don't know why. I've never been able to get the answer from him."



As viewers remembered, Brooks was questioned by several co-stars if he was really battling cancer. He later presented documents with the "City of Hope" logo in hopes of squashing any and all doubters. Ultimately, a representative for City of Hope Medical Center confirmed that they never treated Brooks for cancer at their facility.

Within time, Vicki managed to bounce back and find a special man by the name of Steve Lodge. According to the Bravo reality star, things started getting serious 10 months after things with Brooks completely ended.

Now, Vicki claims if Steve would propose to her today, she reveals she would say yes.

"I don't want to be alone and he's really good for me. I love him. He loves me," she said. "We may not have the fireworks all the time but that's not real. I know that I can count on him always."

Vicki admits she's open and honest about her past relationships that may have ended on a dramatic note.

"We've talked about our relationships ending and anybody in my past is still important to me," she explained. "My first husband Donn—I was married to for 20 years—you just don't forget about them. I want the very best for Donn. I miss Donn. I miss our family unit, but it didn't work. That's why we're not together anymore."

Vicki says that viewers will get to witness the love between her and Steve this season on Real Housewives of Orange County, which her daughter Briana Culberson totally approves of the relationship.

"All in God's timing, the right people appear when they need to so it's been good," Vicki shared.
