The nice bus leaves and this time she is too not in the driver’s seat.
The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Vicki Gunvalson claims she’s signed to appear in the upcoming all-star “Housewives” series, but says she hasn’t heard a beep from the network as production ramps up.
Now, a source tells Page Six that although Gunvalson was originally scheduled to be on the upcoming Peacock show, the network notified her when the direction of the series changed, causing her contract to be canceled.
“She should be very grateful that her contract is void because now she would be in breach of her contract,” our source snorted.
The highly anticipated series, which can be described as “Real Housewives” meets “Real World,” will bring together franchise favorites, including Luann de Lesseps, in a tropical setting.
“Repost this if you think it’s bulls. Vicki isn’t on HW spin-off,” one fan wrote on social media recently, prompting Gunvalson to reply, “It’s bulls-t !!”
“I had the contact signed by both parties in FEB, then Covid hit… and then crickets [sic], ”She wrote on Instagram.
Gunvalson was an original cast member when “RHOC” premiered in 2006 and left the show prior to Season 15 (2020). She spent season 14 (2019) in a ‘friend’ role instead of the lead.
Page Six exclusively confirmed earlier this week that “RHONY” favorite De Lesseps had been cast on the show, which will begin filming in Turks and Caicos Islands in April.
The Blast reported that the series will feature between eight and 10 women from the Bravo franchise and are considering names like Melissa Gorga, Teresa Giudice, Cynthia Bailey, Kenya Moore, Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna.
“RHONY” star Sonja Morgan may also appear on the show, as she posted on Instagram from Turks and Caicos Islands.
