Uh, Folks, We Need to Talk About Vicki, Kelly and the ‘Train Rumor’ on ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’
If you’re following this season of Real Housewives of Orange County, you know the August 27 episode was seriously a doozy. New cast member Braunwyn Windham-Burke confronted Kelly Dodd to let her know about a new rumor Vicki Gunvalson started in the previous episode — a.k.a. the sex “train” rumor.
During a hangout with fellow castmate Gina Kirschenheiter and the new O.C. babe, Kelly insisted that the onslaught of new sexual accusations and rumors against her were coming from the RHOC OG, who has now been demoted to a “friend” role for season 14.
In case you missed it, the rumor in question started flying during the August 20 episode when Braunwyn, Gina and Vicki were out to dinner with costars Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge.
“Kelly knows that I know more than I’ve said,” Vicki, 57, said in the flashback clip to the previous ep, where Tamra, 51, slyly chimed into the convo with, “Are you talking about the train?” Vicki sounded a bit shook by Tamra’s comment and smirk, scolding, “Tamra, do not talk about that.”
Whether or not the slip up was intentional, Kelly wasn’t pleased — especially with the tumultuous past she and Vicki have. “This is absolutely ludicrous, I’ve never even done a threesome, let alone a train,” she said incredulously in her confessional.
In fact, the 43-year-old went even deeper with her disappointment. “First of all, Vicki is a liar, she lied about cancer, the worst thing you could possibly lie about,” she spat to Braunwyn and Gina during their pow wow. “The lady is dangerous.” While the reaction was totally justified, Gina, 35, gently reminded her friend that she has to “stop slingin’ stuff back” when it comes to how Kelly reacts to Vicki’s BS. “Let it go,” she said.
Braunwyn ultimately wanted to make it clear how important it was to her to make sure Kelly knew what was being said about her. “Honestly, if she had come over today and I didn’t tell her, I would’ve felt like a liar,” she said. “I was only trying to give her a heads up because that’s what friends do.”
We’ll have to wait to see where this goes — but it probably won’t be pretty.
