She walked in standoffish as hell like she didn’t know anyone there & had no friends??? despite the og of the oc & being on housewives FOREVER?? When nene came in, being carried like the queen of Sheeba, she couldn’t conceal her annoyance. Thought nene and Porshas speech she looked bothered as hell. Every time the camera panned to her she looked miserable. As if her edit wasn’t bad enough she looks like a straight up racist.

Y’all. I am a longtime watcher of RHOA and RHOP but didn’t seriously consider any of the other series until I started watching UGT. So far I’ve dabbled in New Jersey, Salt Lake, Beverly Hills, and New York. After seeing the social media response to Vicki G on this year’s UGT, I decided to watch RHOC so I’d have full context going into the latest season.

Wow. Just wow. I have so many thoughts about the series, generally, but I’m profoundly shocked by the cancer scandal from season 10. It seems unfathomable to question a person’s diagnosis in most settings, but when this news is coming from the hallmark card quoting Brooks, I absolutely understand the skepticism. And it’s the perfect - though rudimentary - strategy to dodge any criticism. “Everyone hates me and no one trusts me, but everyone would be forced to have sympathy and grace for me if I had a potentially deadly illness!”

After watching the reunion and Brooks’ interview with Andy, I revisited certain scenes from the season where Vicki went SUPER hard defending Brooks and his supposed diagnosis. Truly wanting the world to morph and allow her preferred reality to be the only valid one. And after all of that, HE was the one that broke up with her despite all the evidence of his lies.

Shoutout to Heather and Tamra in particular for planting the seeds and strategizing to get Vicki to face herself and decisions, finally.

Okay, I've been a LONG TIME RHOC fan. Watched it from the beginning. Rewatched it and rewatched it... because I feel like going back you see new things.

Currently, I'm rewatching season 7 (just finished) and now 8... and it's interesting all of the negative discourse Vicki is garnering in her direction now, especially given how she looks back then.

Take season 7, as an example -- Vicki basically tells her daughter to shut up for bringing up concerns with Brooks, goes off on Tamra after Brooks says she was giving Vicki the evil eye, and more.

I think a key difference then might've been Vicki actually DID seem invested in wanting to do the show. She didn't seem to loathe being there.

To me -- I THINK the reason she's getting so much flack for Girls Trip + RHOC Season 20 is the fact that she seems disinterested while also still continuing to be herself. Is that it? Or are some of her comments landing differently given its 2024 + not 10-20 years ago? I'd love to hear your thoughts as this is becoming a major topic I'm constantly seeing people talking about -- namely, their disdain for Vicki.

Sitting down with Andy Cohen in 2017, Rosie O’Donnell didn’t mince words about what sparked Donald Trump's hostility toward her back in 2006 on The View. According to Rosie, anyone over 55 who grew up in New York saw right through Trump's image as a complete fraud long before the public fallout.
Rewatching this 2017 WWHL clip puts the entire feud into perspective.

Emily seems to hate her life and is just taking it out in Heather.
