Could Vicki Gunvalson, the self-proclaimed “OG of the O.C.,” be leaving Bravo behind?
Rumors of casting changes are swirling around The Real Housewives of Orange County . Producers have reportedly fired Peggy Sulahian and Lydia McLaughlin, and now there are two more stars who may not be coming back for Season 13. Is it possible that both Tamra Judge and Gunvalson have decided to leave the reality show that made them famous?
Gunvalson Does Not Want To Deal With Any New Castmembers
According to a Page Six insider, Gunvalson warned her castmates at the most recent reunion that she would not be coming back if there is a new cast, and it made things extremely emotional. The source adds that producers have been quietly casting new women for next season.
Gunvalson is the only cast member who has been on the show since the first episode of the first season, and she is known as the OG of the OC. All About the Real Housewives reported over a month ago that producers were considering demoting Gunvalson to a “friend” for next season, but it now appears she might not be on the show at all.
