Vicki Gunvalson is catching heat after saying she felt “uncomfortable” while filming Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Atlanta.
The Real Housewives of Orange County veteran left a party early during the latest episode, saying no one was talking to her. Her reaction later became a topic of discussion for Dustin Ross and Carlos King, with Ross questioning why Atlanta made Vicki uneasy.
“Why are you uncomfortable in Atlanta?” Ross asked in a resurfaced clip. “But you’re comfortable in racist-a– Orange County, California.”

Vicki’s behavior also drew criticism from longtime co-star Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp on Two Ts in a Pod.
Tamra said Vicki should have made more of an effort to connect with the other Housewives.
“You try to talk to them,” she said. “And just because you don’t know them or they haven’t been on as long as you doesn’t mean you can’t communicate with them. Wasn’t a good look.”
Teddi felt that the OG was simply being “Selfish.”
The pair also ripped Vicki for focusing on her laptop during a group car ride instead of joining the conversation.
“You are paid to talk and to engage with these girls,” said Tamra. “So to sit there on your computer and say, ‘I have to work,’ that’s not a good look.”
Tamra also accused Vicki of repeating old habits from RHOC, saying, “You need to get new material at this point.”
The fans agreed that Vicki’s behavior was uncalled for. Some fans believe Vicki’s swift exit could have been because she was surrounded by Black people.
Let’s be real….

Vicki Gunvalson saying she’s “UNCOMFORTABLE” at the Atlanta Housewives #RHUGT party has to do with being in a room of Black people and NOT cause of her awful outfit
