InstagramIf anyone had any doubts about Vicki Gunvalson's choice to end her relationship with Brooks Ayers, here's your closure.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star appeared on Watch What Happens Live Monday and told host Andy Cohen that she and her ex-boyfriend of four years are done...for good. Cohen asked the reality TV star why she decided to call it quits, and she said it was a result of "a lot of things."
"I just think the conflict with [daughter] Briana [Culberson], and him and I. Being from the South, he really wanted to go back to the South," she explained. She also said that filming her series took its toll.
"I just think the stress of the show, and he's sick," she continued, referencing Ayers' cancer diagnosis. "At the end of the day it just didn't work anymore. Long term we were not going to work. Short term it was amazing."
Going through one of the toughest times of her life, having lost her partner and her mom this year, Gunvalson thought she would have received some support from her co-stars, but she revealed that no one has reached out to her.
"They still have their mother, and they still have their partner," Gunvalson said. "I've had two huge loses this year, and they're not there for me. That makes me realize we're just TV friends, I guess."
"I don't know," she added.
This season of Bravo's RHOC has been a turbulent one for Gunvalson, as some of her cast mates have accused Ayers of faking his diagnosis. Gunvalson took to Twitter to clear the air about her ex-boyfriend's disease, making sure her fans knew that he is actually sick.
"HE is NOT faking cancer....it's a fake story that the girls made up," Vicki tweeted in August. "I have lost 3 friends to cancer and my Aunt. It's a TV show."
In Monday night's finale, Tamra Judge even warned Gunvalson that bad things would happen to her if it turned out his cancer was a lie. "You're not Jesus and you're not getting nailed to the cross, but you could be going to hell if you're lying about cancer."
The remaining episodes of the season, including the finale, showed Ayers and Gunvalson in a good place, but the former couple warned fans at the time of their breakup that would be the case. "It's amicable and they're still friends but Vicky is devastated," a source shared with E! News at the time. "She realizes it's time for them to continue on different paths."
