Now, the OG of the OC is giving an update on where her friendships with Judge and Beador stands now since filming the reunion, which took place in November.
“It was so nice to make up, it’s so good,” Gunvalson told Us Weekly. “It’s the holidays and it’s gotten us busy and we’re never going to be the same as we were before, but we are definitely in a better place, a great place. I don’t want to go backwards anymore. They hurt me, I hurt them and nobody benefitted. We just have to move on now.”
The OG of the OC revealed that if she could do anything differently in regards to her friendship with Judge and Beador, she wouldn’t have dated her ex, Brooks Ayers, who her cast members accused of faking cancer back in season 10.
“Well I wouldn’t have dated my ex, that would have been a great step to take back then!” Gunvalson explained. “That was really a main reason why we were fighting. That was five years. That was an interesting revelation to me that I was sadly, 100 percent trusting of someone and learned from that. Everyone moves on. He’s in a better place. I’m in a better place. I’m glad he’s happy, but I guess we all have to date a bad boy once in our life, right?”
She added, “At least I didn’t marry him!”
However, there's two friendships that Gunvalson feels like she doesn’t have to worry about, which are with fellow RHOC co-stars Lydia McLaughlin and Peggy Sulahian.
“It’s good, they’re easy friends. I never have to worry about backstabbing or conflict and they’re good people,” Gunvalson told Us Weekly. “I don’t have to worry about what I say will come back around bite me in the butt. I’m keeping my friend circle very small right now.”
While Bravo has yet to announce who is returning to RHOC for Season 13, Gunvalson, who is the only original cast member still on the show, says she would definitely sign on. “I would say yes. My life isn’t over yet. I’m having fun!” Gunvalson said.
