Feud in the OC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Despite her recent demotion within The Real Housewives of OC\u00a0<\/em>franchise, Vicki Gunvalson continues to outshine her cohorts as the original Bravo Housewife.\u00a0 Never one to back down from a fight, Gunvalson filed a lawsuit against former castmate, Kelly Dodd, accusing her of speaking defamatory allegations that could potentially harm her business.\u00a0 Throughout the pair\u2019s prolonged feud, Dodd supposedly called Gunvalson a fraud and a con who \u201cprey[s] on older people.\u201d\u00a0 Gunvalson insists Dodd\u2019s statements are untrue and malicious.<\/p>\n

Dodd\u2019s attack on Gunvalson should not come to the surprise of viewers, as the old pals have tangled with one another in the past.\u00a0In a prior season\u2019s reunion show, Gunvalson repeated her belief that Dodd used cocaine regularly.\u00a0 Following that reunion, Gunvalson continued to fuel the rift by perpetuating reports of Dodd\u2019s sexual promiscuity.\u00a0 Dodd denied both accusations, as well as Gunvalson\u2019s unmerited proclamation that Dodd was banned from going to her 13-year-old daughter\u2019s school.\u00a0 Dodd insisted that all claims by Gunvalson were just gossip, with no factual basis.\u00a0 Apparently tired of the rumors, Dodd retaliated with comments about Gunvalson\u2019s alleged con woman ways.<\/p>\n

These insults allude to Gunvalson\u2019s position as owner of Coto Insurance & Financial Services, Inc., based out of Coto de Caza, California.\u00a0 Gunvalson chose to not only name Dodd in the lawsuit, but also sued Bravo and Evolution Media because she feared the offenses would not be taken out of the aired episode.\u00a0By filing the lawsuit, Gunvalson was protecting not only her own reputation, but the credibility of her company and staff.\u00a0 Gunvalson has since spoken to producers, and although the contents of the conversation are unknown, it is clear that the parties left their meeting cordially.\u00a0 Gunvalson has decided to drop the lawsuit<\/a> against all parties.\u00a0 She has also repaired her friendship with Dodd.\u00a0 Both women have agreed to stop fighting with each other; but in true Housewives\u00a0<\/em>fashion, we are never quite sure how long that promise will last.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
