This season finally saw the return of the “OG of the OC” Vicki Gunvalson64, in a full-time housewife role, something she hasn’t had since season 13.
Yesterday, a rumor started circulating online from Bravo and Cocktails called “her decision.”

He went on to say that “despite being invited back, Vicki is deciding not to return for season 21. Bravo is leaving it up to her, but they agree that she will enjoy being involved with the network more through WWHL, BravoCon, and occasional events than as a Housewife.”
Vicki got wind of the post and quickly took to social media to write, “Well this is news to me 😂🍊But honestly, no decisions have been made yet. So back to your regular programming…
Blurb reality I only talked to people after this rumor and Vicki’s post to find out what was going on.

“There are!” she declared happily.
