Bravo fans may be in for a turbulent season now that The Real Housewives of Orange County is welcoming back one of its most explosive cast members in Housewives history.
Last year, it was confirmed that Vicki Gunvalson will return as a full-time cast member, marking her official comeback years after her exit.
Around the same time, longtime rival Tamra Judge appeared to repair her relationship with Vicki, raising eyebrows among viewers who wondered if the timing was strategic amid Tamra’s ongoing feud with Shannon Beador.
According to a source, cameras recently captured Vicki and Shannon together while filming the upcoming season in Mexico.
“Vicki and Shannon were filming at her condo in Puerto Vallarta,” the source said. “They were fighting and screaming at the beach, falling into the sand.” The source also claimed Vicki shouted at producers not to continue filming with Shannon.
The drama comes as Bravo is reportedly cracking down on off-camera interference. A separate insider alleged that cast members across franchises are now facing stricter contract language designed to prevent leaking or influencing storylines outside of filming.
