Vicki Gunvalson has revealed that she has moved on from her relationship with Brooks Ayers, which played out on the previous season of The Real Housewives of Orange County . Last year, Vicki was so convinced that her boyfriend, Brooks, had cancer that she defended him as much as she could. Her co-stars kept telling her that they didn’t believe her and that they wanted her to look at the evidence. They are all convinced that he faked cancer so he could be on a reality show and take full advantage of Vicki.
According to a new Radar Online report, Vicki Gunvalson has moved on from her relationship with Brooks, but fans will see her struggle with that journey on the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Orange County . During the preview for the upcoming season, Gunvalson is seen on the phone with Ayers, telling him that she loves him. In the preview, Vicki’s daughter, Briana, and her co-star Tamra Judge express concern over how much time Vicki Gunvalson is dedicating to him.
“Brooks, it’s Vicki. I believe you. I love you,” Vicki Gunvalson is caught saying in the clip, but her rep says that Bravo manipulated the scene and the footage to make her sound like she really wanted to get back with him.

“Vicki was edited,” her rep told the website, adding, “They didn’t show her telling him that she loves him just like she loves all of her other exes. She loves Donn [Gunvalson] too! Brooks isn’t on but Vicki does talk to him. She did tell him she loves him because she does.”
When Ayers sat down with Andy Cohen to talk to him about his cancer records, he told the reunion host that he had no interest in coming back on The Real Housewives of Orange County . And despite breaking up with Vicki Gunvalson several times, it sounds like he meant it this time around. He relocated to Florida, where he is trying to start over — sort of. Rather than distancing himself completely from The Real Housewives of Orange County , his cancer lies, and Vicki, he does stay in touch with her and is planning on writing a book about his experiences.
While Vicki Gunvalson may have respect for Ayers despite him lying to her on occasion, he doesn’t seem to have much respect back. He’s planning on writing a tell-all book that will share his side of the story and he claims that producers tried to fabricate a lot of things for ratings. He’s now saying that he’s the victim in all of this.
“They basically pitched me as this poor guy from Mississippi preying on a vulnerable, successful, self-made woman,” he told Page Six back in January, adding, “I’m not bound contractually by anything to not share the intel about what transpires behind production, Bravo, what they try to do, etc. I didn’t fake cancer. Who in their right mind would fake cancer?”
Of course, Bravo didn’t feed him his lines, and they didn’t ask him to talk about what kind of treatment he was getting. It was his own words, his own stories, and his story about cancer that made both Shannon Beador and Meghan King Edmonds question his story, given their own experiences with both cancer and the clinic he claimed to be using.

“I want nothing but the best for her and she wants the best for me,” Ayers revealed about Vicki Gunvalson, adding, “I’m not doing this because she did it to me, but she’s a grown woman and she’s making business decisions to continue earning money. I’m a grown man and I want to do what I can do to rehab my reputation … and you can’t do it on reality TV.”
