As you recall, Vicki Gunvalson made up Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador during last year's Real Housewives of Orange County reunion and after the Season 13 premiere episode, the trio appears to still be going strong.
Now, the OG of the OC recently gave an update on her relationships with Judge and Beador.
"We're good," Vicki told E! News. "I said I will do my part to never, ever betray them and they've also got to agree not to hurt me and betray me. I think we've come to a really good meeting of the minds and they did some bad things and I did some bad things, but we were able to just put it aside ‘cause I care about them. I really, genuinely, care about those girls."
Vicki said "it was a like a cancer, so to speak" in her relationships with Tamra and Shannon last season. "It just couldn't get cut out," she said.
However, her relationship with Kelly Dodd might get bumpy this season after she went on a double-date with Kelly's ex-husband…
"Kelly didn't like that," Vicki admitted. Kelly found out about it and "she got mad at me," Vicki said.
Meanwhile, Gunvalson confirms she will no longer be getting plastic surgery. “I promised [my boyfriend, Steve Lodge,] I'm done,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I’m done.”
The OG of the OC went under the knife one last time about two months ago for a lower face-lift. It’s the same procedure her co-star, Tamra Judge, got about a year ago, in which the skin from the bottom of the ears is tightened, achieving a more defined jawline and a taut neck.
“I went to Tamra's doctor, 'cause she told me I needed a face-lift,” Vicki reveals. “So I thought, 'OK, I gotta listen to Tamra so she doesn't get mad at me.' No, but God love Tamra, she tells me how it is.”
The procedure was filmed for the new season of RHOC, but viewers will have to wait until the last batch of episodes to actually see it. In addition to the face-lift, Vicki says she also had all of the fillers in her face removed.
“That was one thing that I think a lot of doctors overdo,” she confesses. “Through the last four, five years, as I got older, they kept wanting to [add] Juvederm, and Restylane, and this and that, and Sculptra, and before I knew it, I didn't look like myself. So, I took all the fillers out. I have totally smooth skin now.”
If you may recall, Vicki previously underwent a series of other surgical procedures back in 2013, getting a fat transfer to her face, a nose job and a chin implant.
“I feel great,” Vicki gushes. “And I promised Dr. Ambe -- I love you so much! -- I'm never doing another filler, another anything. I'm just leaving it alone, 'cause he said once you start doing that, it becomes, ‘I wanna do more and more and more and more.’ He said it was like granulated sugar underneath my skin, of all these different areas that had been injected. So, I didn't even look like myself anymore.”
Vicki says seeing her headshot for the new season, which was taken before her surgery, made her feel even better about her decision to stop getting injectables.
“Some people were saying my promo pictures didn't look like me,” she shares. “It didn't. I was puffy, and I was -- I didn't feel like I was myself. They do the cheekbones, and we gotta inject here, gotta bring the jawline down. Just, stop! I want everything out of my skin. I want to be back to, you know, being a 56-year-old and looking the best I can be. Then they tightened my neck. My neck's got no more wrinkles! I feel great.”
Vicki sums up her latest, and seemingly final, surgery as “no pain, no gain,” and praises her boyfriend for getting her through the recovery.
“Brutal,” she says of the days after surgery. “If I didn't have Steve, I don't know how somebody could go through that without somebody telling you, like, 'Take another Xanax, go back to bed.''Cause I was like, my brain was telling me I was good, but I'd get up and be like, whoo. Wanna pass out again, so it was a brutal recovery. It was 10, 12 days, but after that, you kinda forget about it.”
