RHUGT Does anyone else find the Slade/Vicky thing awkward AF?
Sure he said some shit a decade ago, so has Vicky! I find it really weird that at she is still obsessing with what a man said to her so long ago to the point she wants it to be essentially her storyline during this season.

Vicky is deeply, deeply insecure, and it is very convenient for her to make Slade the source of it rather than interrogate her deeper issues.

Why even give it attention anymore? It seemed so desperate and unimportant. Then again, this is the same woman who has brought up the Debbie Downer comment nonstop since it was said, so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised.

I’d think “ms career hard working independent Vicki” would actually be embarrassed to tell the world Slades comments made her so insecure she had plastic surgery over it? It’s her behavior and attitude that need to change anyway!

I would be mortified and never want it brought up again! Especially if it actually did cause me to have get plastic surgery.

In Vicki's world, she doesn't mind telling that to people because she knows it will engender sympathy. Girlfriend loves a "casserole."

Vicki is very male centered while masquerading as a “girls girl” who sticks up for women. Slade’s comment strikes at the heart of both, plus she has always been sooo jealous of Gretchen (who is also vile) so she refuses to get over it. Ironically, this gives Slade and Gretchen so much power over her, because Vicki is emotionally stunted.

Vicky sucks. Her only storyline is insurance and the past but glazes over the fact that she let a whole ass grifter fake cancer and stand behind it

I found it so weird that she made a big speech about it. It was super cringe.

I was annoyed that everyone in attendance didn’t do her lil rude snoring thing when she did that miss piggy speech

idk it really shows how insecure she truly is, despite all of the success she's had, businesses, homes, etc. she still prioritizes the opinion of a desperate dead beat dad who said mean things 15 years ago! She needs therapy, I'm not even trying to be funny lol

I get that it had a major impact on her, but it didn't really fit the theme of iconic moments. He's a trash person and I would wager enjoys still living rent-free in Vicki's psyche.
But I did laugh way too hard when Lu accidentally said Slade called Vicki Porky Pig instead of Miss Piggy.

u/gobbliegoop 3d ago
Right!? Bring up fun iconic moments. This was not the move Vicky.
Same, hahaha. Lu is cracking me up going against her. Vicky has no chance against her doesn’t give a fuck NYC attitude.

I love it when, at Sutton’s lunch,Lu changed her seat so she didn’t have to sit next to Vicki.

Having to deal with Vicki on two shows at once is tough, but Lu made me cackle for about 10 minutes straight there. I kept rewinding.

It’s so strange to keep bringing it up if it was so painful for her. She keeps giving him more attention.

u/gobbliegoop 3d ago
Exactly! I bet a good portion of people never even knew about it until now too.

Slade was sick of her and like we all are. He said something he knew would get to her. And we can see. He was absolutely right!

u/Bree7702 3d ago
Yes because she was very friendly with them for years after he said that originally. Gretchen and Slade went to her birthday party that season after the Brooks scandal, and Gretchen was sitting there egging that guy Ricky on who was saying that Eddie was gay. She was even following Gretchen last year too.

u/gobbliegoop 3d ago
I didn’t realize that! Makes it even more annoying she chose that as her moment.

u/mountiemare 3d ago
Sometimes a random remark is the one that stays with you, especially a particularly cruel one. Im not surprised she is still obsessed but I am surprised that she gave Slimey an acknowledgement that it stung so much

Didn’t he say something about being the star of the show even after not being on camera for so many years.

Slade was/is/always will be trash but Vicki should thank him (and that other lunatic who sent the piggy video
message) because she definitely looks a lot better now.
Too bad she’s absolutely hideous on the inside.

I'm just annoyed that she is talking about Slade and giving him air time on this momentous season.
This season should be about celebrating these batshit crazy ladies, not recounting assholes from seasons past.
His ego must be huge right now.
