‘Real Housewives Of Orange County’: Gretchen Rossi Returns For Season 12? Former Star To Join Vicki Gunvalson And Kelly Dodd’s Team Against Tamra Judge


Real Housewives of Orange County stars Vicki Gunvalson and Kelly Dodd are allegedly “begging” Bravo producers to have Gretchen Rossi back on the show. Vicki and Kelly reportedly believed that they can take on Tamra Judge on Season 12 with Gretchen’s help.

According to Radar Online, Vicki Gunvalson, Kelly Dodd, and Gretchen Rossi reunited at the latter’s private birthday bash over the weekend. For her 38th birthday party, the former Real Housewives of Orange County star invited 30 of her closest family and friends at the Ritz Prime Seafood in Newport Beach. Former RHOC stars Peggy Tanous and Lizzie Rovsek also attended the star-studded event.

Even though it had been three years since Gretchen was “fired” from the show, it seems like no love was lost between her and the housewives. An insider told the site that Vicki, Kelly, Gretchen, Peggy, and Lizzie all bonded at Gretchen’s birthday bash.

“It was like a Real Housewives reunion and the five of them had so much fun together it was ridiculous! There was non-stop laughter, dancing, dining, partying and just really enjoying life, while celebrating their best friend’s birthday!”

With the unexpected reunion, Radar Online reported that Vicki Gunvalson and Kelly Dodd were “begging” Bravo producers to have Gretchen Rossi back on The Real Housewives of Orange County. This season, Vicki and Kelly felt like all the housewives were ganging up on them. If Gretchen returned next season, the balance will definitely return.

“Vicki, Kelly and Gretchen’s friendship is awesome because it is real. They are all close friends when there are no camera’s rolling. It is how friendships should be,” the source said.

The site further reported that Gretchen and Kelly have gotten close and treat each other like sisters.

“Everyone got along so great at the party and, for once, there was zero drama,” the source added.

In July, the outlet reported that Vicki and Kelly are going to a whole new level to take Tamra Judge down. Vicki even allegedly called Andy Cohen and tried to convince him to bring Gretchen back on The Real Housewives of Country. With Gretchen and Kelly on her side, Vicki felt that she could finally take Tamra down.

“While the ladies were at lunch, Vicki busted out her phone and texted Andy Cohen to tell him to bring back Gretchen and Lizzie Rovsek. After Andy didn’t respond, Vicki called him to tell him that she thought having them both come back would be awesome!”

Vicki also allegedly kept posting pictures of her with Gretchen and Kelly, knowing that it will upset Tamra. Gretchen, however, doesn’t seem like she’s interested in returning for Season 12. An insider close to the former RHOC star revealed that Gretchen is happy with her life at the moment and is doing “incredibly well” without all the drama.

“Gretchen is not desperate at all to be back on the show. But, if she did return next season, it would be a lot easier for her knowing that Vicki and Kelly have her back!”

In a previous interview with People, Gretchen Rossi revealed that she and her fiance, Slade Smiley, are still trying to get pregnant. Although their recent attempt through IVF wasn’t successful, the couple remained optimistic.

“It’s been a long eight months of trying, but as many people know when you reverse a vasectomy, it doesn’t always work out. We’ve been trying and they said to give it at least a good year, so we’re going to continue through the end of this year trying naturally and then if nothing has happened, we’ll probably go back to in vitro again,” she shared.
