Jeana Keough Responds To Vicki Gunvalson’s Accusation That She's More A Friend To Tamra Than Her

Inquisitr.com:

Jeana Keough was a topic of conversation on Monday night’s episode of Watch What Happens Live. During the show, Jeana Keough’s on-again, off-again friend, Vicki Gunvalson, spoke with Andy Cohen about her Real Housewives of Orange County co-star’s love of dramatic situations, and also accused Jeana Keough of being there for Tamra Barney than she was for her.

In an interview with Real Mr. Housewife on June 16, Jeana Keough responded to Gunvalson’s comments, defending her decision to help Barney, and her husband Simon, through their messy divorce years ago.

“I am always there for a friend when they need help…Anyone can be a good time friend. When bad things happen to my friends they always call me. They know I have the best criminal, personal injury and divorce attorneys. I have problem solving abilities outside the box. I always give good advice and I am always fair.”

While Gunvalson accused Jeana Keough of only involving herself in her fellow co-stars’ problems, Keough said it was simply in her nature, as the daughter of a fireman, to help those in need.

As the Inquisitr previously reported, news of Jeana Keough’s return to The Real Housewives of Orange County was first reported earlier this year. At the time, a source told Radar Online that Bravo was hoping to feature more of Jeana Keough’s story line during season 10, which had just begun filming.

“Bravo has reached out to [Jeana Keough]. They have asked her what is going on in her life with the hopes of understanding what a potential storyline for her could be. [Jeana Keough] has had lots of changes going on in her life. Her daughter recently got married, her oldest son is dating someone new, and she has two exchange students that live with her and keep her busy!”

Radar Online‘s source also claimed Gunvalson and Keough were “still good friends,” and said Gunvalson had made it clear that she would love to have Keough back on The Real Housewives of Orange County for season 10. As fans will recall, Gunvalson and Keough were two of the original five wives when the series began years ago. Now, Gunvalson remains as the only original housewife left standing. Everyone else left the show, or was fired by Bravo.

For more Jeana Keough, tune into The Real Housewives of Orange County on Mondays at 9 p.m. on Bravo. Keough may make more guest appearances as the series continues.
