Did Vicki Gunvalson Try To Get Alexis Bellino Fired From RHOC?

June 15, 2012 | By | 71 Replies Continue Reading

Uh Oh! Alexis isn’t going to be happy with the recent reports claiming Vicki tried to get her fired! Alexis and Vicki have gotten much closer this past season that Vicki was even invited to Alexis hubby birthday last weekend off camera! But now claims have surfaced that Vicki tried to get her fired and Tamra and Gretchen are saying it’s true!

Apparently sources say that when the cameras weren’t filming in Costa Rica Vicki led a campaign to get Alexis Fired. A source told Radar, “The next day she told all the ladies she was up all night writing a letter about why Alexis should be fired and again encouraged us to do the same. No one but Vicki ended up writing a letter”

Vicki denied the story but Tamra confirmed it tweeting, “I can confirm that this is 100% true and so can Gretchen Rossi and everyone else that was there.” Gretchen also tweeted that the story is 100% true and thats when Vicki responded, “Obviously someone has nothing to do in their day than to make up s**t, I was there 2.”

Ouch! The ladies do fight on the season finale but I had a chance to talk to both of them recently and they were trying to be in a good place. Do you think this is true? Do you think Tamra should be putting Vicki on blast for this?!

    If I were Alexis I would never trust Vicki! In fact, I wouldn’t trust any of them!

    • gupto says:

      i never liked vickie and that brooks guy is just plain damn creepy. i hope she has to pay don some spousal support :)

      i used to not care for alexis but i now believe she is just dumb and really has a kind heart and lousy husband.

      • angela says:

        i don’t believe her husband is all that lousy actually, i read his personal blog and he does nothing but stick up for his wife. I think he has certain standards to which some, may seem, too old fashioned but she knew that going in and clearly has the same…to each is own. not bashing you btw in fact, the rest of what you say, i agree. :)

        • cammierari says:

          I wish I could believe that Jim Bob Bellino was just being old fashioned. I don’t know how old fashioned it is to brag about what you have and how much it costs, and Alexis’ boobs certainly aren’t old fashioned. She also seems to want to break free of Jim more than she has in past seasons.
          Actually I’m a little afraid that Jim is gonna “let” Alexis have another baby just to delay her career plans

          • gupto says:

            u have a point cause he has a worried look on his face as he witnesses her become more and more independent. he knows she will eventually figure out on her own what a scammer he is/was.

    • YeahRight says:

      I agree. And YES I believe Vicki did it. Can’t wait for next week’s episode when Vicki buys herself a fur coat and say’s it’s from Crooks .

    • Isabella Patricia says:

      I rarely ever believe what Gretchen says, but I do believe this story. Vicki is vile and doesn’t give a damn about anyone but herself. She didn’t want Alexis to stand out shine! Of course she tried to get Alexis fired. Why am I never surprised with these women? Alexis should be careful… She should attack them with her tits blazin’!!! Lol.

    • db says:

      So VERY true. Over and over, I tell myself not to trust certain people and lo and behold, I end up getting screwed over. I hate to be cynical and regard everyone as opportunistic, but it seems as you get older, fewer people are worthy of trust.

  2. Amanda says:

    No, Tamra is the WORST kind of friend to have. She has no loyalty and is lead by jealousy. Seems that she and Gretchen are the ones having issues with other people making friends.

  3. Jelly says:

    While I do not like Alexis, it’s sad that happened. I do believe Vicki would do this and I’m pretty sure while Tamra is a a straight shooter, I can’t imagine her lying about this not to mention Gretchen doing the same.

    Sorry Vicki, you’ve been caught!

    • Srt_3 says:

      Haven’t seen you around lately….hope you are well!

      I don’t love Alexis, either, but I found myself feeling badly for her. I didn’t like the way she was ganged up on. Not necessary. But LOVE the fact that, if this story proves true, Vicki’s true colors will be seen…..

    • rukidding? says:

      why aren’t tamra and grethcen capable of lying? they have proved they’re very good manipulative liars. i like tamra and gretchen not so much but i can be honest and say i wouldn’t trust either of them. if you have watched the show the past 2 years then you would know that gretchen has a history of lying and let’s not forget tamra denying her role in the drama between her and slade and vicki and her issues with her ex husband.

      • Say What?? says:

        I think its been proven they all lie to further their own cause. I like Alexis.. I feel bad for teh way she was treated and i have no doubt bravo is behind it. I love Tamra but cant stand her when she turns into a mean girl. I’ve never liked Gretchen or Vikki. I hope they fire both of them!

  4. Crazy J says:

    Seems like Tamara and JacAss read the same manual on friendship and loyalty.

    • Ms. Torres says:

      I was thinking the same exact thing. Even though I like Tamara out of all of them. She is definitely in the wrong for doing that. She really needs to mind her own business if it doesn’t concern her. It was really pointless to blast Vickie the way she did.

      • michers says:

        Unless they were all asked if it was true. Why get caught lying for Vicki or anyone else? Im really starting too think that the production team on all franchises leaks things on purpose to keep all of us coming back

        • Srt_3 says:

          Michers, I agree. And they all prob signed confidentiality agree,nets and can’t say a thing about it.they all prob know it’s part of the game. Unfortunately, the game is just getting more and more catty. I still watch…but just isn’t the same as it used to be.
          :(

          • michers says:

            Ugh I know, what a bummer. After this, there is no replacing because we were stuck with these wacka doos for years, lol!! Every franchise is good for season 1, season 2. After that- blah! I am sure they probably did sign agreements too! Must be why we never get a full story!

        • jillybean says:

          Of course they do, do you think anyone of these girls is intelligent enough to think of a plot line on their own?

  5. Srt_3 says:

    Vicki is such a hypocrite!!! She gets her nose out of joint for being treated badly, but she conveniently forgets what she has said/done in the past. She has talked crap about ALL of them…..but the second they do……please.

    I think her new found relationship with Alexis questionable. I wouldn’t care if these two were friends, but the timing leads to judegements regarding the sincerity of it. Vicki is just pissed that Tamra and Gretchen have become friends. Plain and simple.

    Now, I don’t always agree with what Tamra says or does. In fact, , I cringe pretty often. That being said, she says what she wants and owns it, good or bad. I guess I admire that, although she does need a filter. I don’t think being mean to someone just to be mean is necessary.

    I hope the letter comes out……

  6. cammierari says:

    I bet it’s true cuz it sounds like Vicki-and why would Tamra and Gretchen LIE about it??
    Vicki is the biggest shit talker on the show in her talking heads. She doesn’t give any of the women credit for anything, and half the stuff she calls them out for SHE does herself!
    I don’t really “like” any of the OC women because I think they are ALL focused on the wrong things, but so far, I’m a Heather fan and wish she would just blast some of these women for their hypocrisy. Alexis should just ride off into the sunset before she ends up making a bigger fool of herself-and she can take Icky Vicki with her…

    • rukidding? says:

      really vicki is the biggest shit talker? i don’t think so. to me i think tamra is. now that vicki isn’t friends with tamra she has toned down her shit talking. it was all tamra and vicki was guilty by association. not that she’s innocent. she has said some stupid things over the years but i think because of tamra’s attitude it made it worse.

      i just think it’s disgusting how grown women with their own businesses tear each other down and do childish things to get even with each other. it’s pretty obvious that is what tamra and gretchen are trying to do.

      • cammierari says:

        I still can’t make up my mind about Tamra or Gretchen. It seemed like Gretchen was a gold digger and a liar when she was with Jeff, but maybe that was all BS because Tamra has certainly forgotten everything she accused her of-and SHE was the one doing all the accusing.
        This season, I find myself agreeing with Gretchen more than anyone else on the show SO FAR but I’m still trying to decide who and what she is.
        I do think vicki talks more shit, but she does it in an underhanded way. She says CONSTANTLY “I have to WORK”? She says that instead of saying “why don’t you girls have a job?” She has done nothing but belittle any of the other HW’s products or businesses, but you can bet your sweet ass she wouldn’t tolerate anyone putting down Coto Insurance! She’s already lost a good man (and maybe a good relationship with her daughter) over that business. I just think it’s enough. And she is a drama queen so I can see her easily thinking that she could get Alexis fired for being fake.

        • rukidding? says:

          yeah i remember vicki always saying that last season “i go work”. that was her passive aggressive way of insulting the other girls. i still don’t think she would do such a thing. now tamra and gretchen i do believe will try to get alexis fired. they’re the ones that have a problem with her and they’re just trying to pin it on vicki.

          to me they’re all not so innocent. they all talk crap about each other including alexis. for the christian holier than thou attitude she gets pretty catty with the insults and she comes off as materialistic and stuck up. even though she deserved alittle of the so called intervention i don’t think she deserved all of it. the women should’ve stopped attacking her as soon as they saw her getting upset. they made themselves look like bullies.

          • cammierari says:

            see I didn’t think they were bullying at all. I think Alexis brought it up and agreed to talk about it. One of the women SHOULD have said that they weren’t telling her what they did to hurt her feelings, but to help her understand WHY they felt the way they did. I thought Heather saying that she and Terry had seen Alexis and Jim at the mall, and heard them say things which sounded like shallow boasting would give Alexis some idea of how she comes across. But OF COURSE Alexis brushed it off instead of admitting that Terry had a reason for thinking the Bellinos were shallow and phony. The fact that she didn’t told me that she couldn’t care less how she comes off. If I were Heather, I would have ended the conversation there and written Alexis off completely

      • Srt_3 says:

        While I think all these women are shit talkers, I think Vicki is the biggest hypocrite. That’s why I have such a prob with her. She gets so mad when something is said/done to her, but conveniently forgets what she has done in the past. Selective memory….

        That’s why I believe this.

  7. bratman says:

    They all need to go. OC is done.

    • Kay says:

      I totally agree. I no longer like any of the women (I don’t mind Heather but like is a bit of a stretch) and when a lot of the fan base are feeling that there’s no one to root for anymore then it’s time to move onto a new cast.

      • LJ says:

        I feel the same way except I hate Heather! I think she’s a hypocrite and so narcissistic. Gretchen and Tamera need how to guide on what real friends are about. Tamera let’s hate and jealousy lead her by the balls majority of the time and doesn’t realize how trashy she looks instead of witty. Gretchen dropped Alexis as soon as the bully Tamera wanted to be friends. Vicki is Vicki sadly. Still a hypocrite and above everyone else. Jealous of Tamera and Gretchen. And Alexis may not be the brightest Crayola but at least she isn’t a cruel mean girl! I’m just over bravo now and allowing all TRHW branches to bully one person! I will be rooting for Alexis now! Because I don’t condone the ganging up on one person! Lets be honest shall we? Every one of the women on there has got some serious issues. The moment Alexis called Tamera for being cruel Tamera shut her down. They all could of had an “intervention”. Idk if Vicki did this or not. I think its crap if she did. I think its crap for Tamera to throw her “BFF” under the bus. Either way I’m over it all!

  8. S.B says:

    No I dont believe it. Tamara the white trash skank is making this up

  9. Lola says:

    Seema true, but done before they were good friends. Vicky should go public with all the stuff Tamara did to Gretchen,before they were friends. Tamara is a jealous loser.
    Obvs Vicky state of mind on the trip is questionable

    • Meldog says:

      Exactly. Vicki & Alexis didn’t really become friends until the show ended, Everyone knows they didn’t like each other previously. Tamra & Gretchen are only hurting Alexis but they don’t care. They are just trying to “prove” that they are “better” than V & A. They’re just making themselves look bad, that is all.

  10. Heidi says:

    O.C. & N.J. has the highest ratings of all the franchises with both reaching the average of the 2M mark….. Bravo has hits with both these shows due to the cast members bringing on the controversy & drama… Although, the drama may not be what some viewers want, obviously viewers are tuning in & watching regardless….I’m a Tamra fan; a Teresa fan & Lisa fan of B.H…….. Regardless of whether we like the subject matter on the shows which brings the drama, viewers are still talking about it which means they’re watching….. Fortunately or unfortunately, drama & specific cast members are ratings gold…….:) Love them!!!! :)

  11. sandy eyes says:

    Where is the Radar article? The link isn’t working.

  12. lolalea3 says:

    VG should own it. And does it matter? It has nothing 2 do with their friendship now.

  13. sharon says:

    I see Alexis cut her thigh at Jim’s Bday party. Did he have a Prince Party..LOL

    • michers says:

      Supposedly, she sat on a wine glass. My thing is , if she sat on it, wouldn’t it have been her butt that was cut?

      • jillybean says:

        At least she didn’t make a big scene out of it for once, butt (no pun intended) then again she was the center of attention, so she had no need to.

  14. Ashley says:

    All the housewives, have no sense of loyalty. As soon as they aren’t friends anymore, they all air each other’s dirty laundry. No respect for the friendship they once had. Whether Vikki did it or not, for Tamera and Gretchen to put it out there, and to try and break Vikki and Alexis new found friendship apart, is so IMMATURE! Why do they care so much if Alexis and Vikki have found a support in each other. It looks to me like their the one’s that our jealous. Get over it.

  15. esianasilloh says:

    Sounds like Gretchen and Tamra are busy trying to drum up some publicity after seeing the photos from Mr. Bellino’s birthday weekend. Honestly, I dont believe it. I think the story and tweets were conveniently dropped by the two biggest bull shitters on the show. And I’m sorry, but I saw a dinner before Costa Mexico with heather and tamra planning an “intervention” together, I didn’t see any of them call and consult vicki that they were going to shit talk hijack the trip.

  16. stark3923 says:

    Tamra is the WORST kind of friend to have.

  17. jen says:

    I’m not a fan of Vicki but, I don’t believe she did this. What I don’t understand is why it took almost a year for T & G to say this? Tamra has been talking shit the worst this season about Alexis so i would find it hard to believe that when the cameras weren’t rolling Vicki decided she going to talk shit about Alexis to G & T. And are we suppose to believe they just sat there and said nothing. was Vicki talking to herself? Tamra is seems like to type of girl who can have as many friends as she wants but her friends can only have her. She is very insecure and Jeana hit the nail on the head when she said look were she came from.

    • Beezus says:

      Well said, I agree with all you wrote. I’d love to hear what Heather had to say in regard to Tamra and Gretchen’s claims.

    • cammierari says:

      I bet Tamra and Gretchen were there talking shit about Alexis that night with Vicki, but they didn’t write a letter like Vicki did. It’s one thing to talk shit behind someone’s back, quite another to pretend to “have their back” meanwhile you’re drafting letters to the boss asking for your pal to be fired

      • Srt_3 says:

        When it comes down to it, it’s going to end up being a question of semantics. SOMETHING happened that night……SOMETHING was said. But, Vicki saying it isn’t true, in my mind, just means she didn’t say exactly or specifically what was asked or repeated by Tamra or Gretchen. She is just playing word games.

  18. Me says:

    I think this is going the same route as NJ. All of the sudden “Bff’s” are having beef because the story line was getting boring.

    Nice way to keep the audience hooked for next season!

    • cammierari says:

      Vicki is getting a little long in the tooth to be an OC HW. Maybe this is Bravo’s exit strategy for Vick

      • michers says:

        Camm I think you may be not o something. She seems like she is headed for a breakdown tho season anyway. She needs to rest and hang her “Original” wife gloves up.

        • cammierari says:

          I just hope she has plenty of support around her when she finds out ol Pearly White Brooks is a scam artist

          • michers says:

            They were all trying to be that way to her and for her but that seems to be not working out, lol!

  19. Kim says:

    Tamra is such a mean girl.It really bothers me when I see people mistreat people like Tamra does and then things still seem to go her way.I would love for someone to give her a taste of her own medicine.

  20. rukidding? says:

    seems to me tamra and gretchen are scheming to get vicki fired. if vicki did try to get alexis fired then what was the point. i think it would make better sense if she tried to get slade fired. that’s her enemy.

    • jen says:

      I don’t know why Vicki even stays on the show. She is the only one of them that has a successful business, even before the show. She really doesn’t need BRAVO like T & G do. The 2 of them have nothing else going for them. What would they do if BRAVO didn’t cast them next season? They would have enough money to get by for a few months then they would be sending their resume over to Vicki’s office to apply for the receptionist position.They really need to set some long term goals because w/ their attitudes are not going to get them far in life and BRAVO will not continue to pay their way forever.

  21. MaggieG says:

    Much like Tamra & Gretchen’s newfound friendship, Vicki & Alexis just started getting along this season. Prior to that Vicki & Tamra’s favorite pastime was harassing Gretchen & Slade & (because Alexis & Gretchen were buds) Alexis would also be a target). In view of that I can see where Vicki might have wanted to campaign against Alexis in the past. Not sure it makes sense to want her off now because Vicki doesn’t have a lot of support from the other women.

    However, didn’t you recently attend a PR event for the OC wives in CA, Rox? If Vicki & Tamra are in a business venture together why would they want enmity between them.

    • Maru the Cat fka Sharon Lea says:

      I wondered the same thing MaggieG – Tamara & Vicki just had that wine launch. They just filmed the reunion – maybe this is fallout from those conversations?

      • cammierari says:

        I think you’re right Maru. I bet Tamra and Vicki battled hard at the reunion. Maybe Tamra brought Brooks into it or maybe Vicki mentioned that Tamra used to dog Gretchen’s boytoy but NOW she dogs Vicki’s…

    • Srt_3 says:

      Maybe it did happen at an earlier date, not in Costa Rica. And they talked about it that night. Maybe G and T are bringing it up now bc they a tired of their “mean” roles on the show.

      I definitely can see Vicki doing something like this at an earlier time of the show.

    • Aunt Julie says:

      I think they started their business venture long ago, since it takes time to start a business. It was prolly during happier times between the two of them.

  22. Hello says:

    Tamra is nasty and mean!!! I’m pretty sure she is the source that leaked the story. She is starting to seem as if she is jealous of Alexis life. She really needs to grow up and Gretchen better watch her back bc she is feeling herself way to much.

  23. LisaM says:

    It’s only fair Vicki be called out for the hypocrite she truly is.

  24. P. Long says:

    That is really sad if this is true!!! And Tamara, shame on u!!!

  25. Lisa M says:

    I really think Alexis and Tamara have a lot in common. Both were married to control freaks who put down their wives, expect them to look perfect to the point of surgically implanting plastic in their bodies to please them, both tried to put guilt trips on them to keep them under thumb, both have several children and deep down, both women hate their husbands even though Alexis tries hard to convince herself she doesn’t. Tamara must remember how Vickie supported her through it all and she is doing the same for Alexis. Alexis is scared of not having money and if she were independently wealthy, I just bet she would kick fat azz control freak misogynist Jim to the curb.

  26. jr russo says:

    Personally I could picture seeing Teresa and Vicki hanging out together. Maybe they could have a new reality show.

  27. Diva says:

    I find it weird to begin with, the “friendship” between Alexis and Vicki and I truly feel that the only reason it exists is because Tamra & Gretchen became friends and Vicki & Alexis felt slighted. Plain and simple. From the minute Vicki found out that Tamra & Gretchen were talking and trying to mend fences she started with the snide comments & claiming that it was Tamra that made her feel like she couldn’t like Alexis. Oh really? This coming from the same woman that claims she is her own person and does what she wants? Stands on her own two feet?

    Contradiction is not cute.
