Vicki Gunvalson Announces That She's Returning for Season 13 of The Real Housewives of Orange County

BravoTV.com:

So far, we've announced that Kelly Dodd, Tamra Judge, and Shannon Beador will be returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County for Season 13. But they're not the only RHOC veterans we'll see next season.

None other than the OG of the RHOC Vicki Gunvalson will be back for Season 13. We first met Vicki and her family in the very first season of RHOC in 2006, and she has appeared in every single season of the series ever since.

Last season of RHOC, we saw Vicki's romance with boyfriend Steve Lodge blossom. Unfortunately, her friendships with Tamra and Shannon were not in such a good place. After some emotional moments with Tamra during the ladies' trip to Iceland (Vicki also experienced a health scare during that vacation), Vicki's relationship with Tamra and Shannon seemed to move in a positive direction at the Season 12 reunion as the three embraced during the sit-down's conclusion.

Since the reunion, Vicki and Steve's relationship has remained as strong as ever. The couple celebrated their second anniversary in April. She visited her daughter, Briana Culberson, and her family in her new home of North Carolina after they moved out of Orange County last fall. Vicki has also shown her support for Briana, who has undergone multiple surgeries over the past few months.

So there you have it. Vicki, Shannon, Tamra, and Kelly will all be back for more RHOC next season. Their Season 12 castmates Meghan King Edmonds, Lydia McLaughlin, and Peggy Sulahian previously confirmed that they will not be returning next season.

Lauri Peterson Breaks 2-Year Silence on Son's Arrest

EOnline.com:

Real Housewives of Orange County star Lauri Peterson took to Twitter on Thursday to set the record straight about her son Josh Waring's arrest.

Back in 2016, Waring was arrested for allegedly shooting a man in Costa Mesa, Calif. and fleeing the scene in a stolen car. In addition to the attempted murder charge, he faced charges of battery, hit and run with property damage; resisting arrest and obstructing an officer; unlawful taking of a vehicle and, lastly, evading police and reckless driving.

Unfortunately, this wasn't his only run-in with the law. Later that year, Waring was charged with possession of contraband while in prison after police said he "knowingly and unlawfully" had an alcoholic beverage in the men's maximum-security jail.

"After keeping silent for nearly 2 years in regards to my sons arrest, I am going to begin laying out the facts of his case and how easily it is to be falsely accused," Peterson tweeted.

When a follower asked the former Housewife to "let us know the truth," the reality star replied "you will get facts only! I promise!"

"I will lay out the facts starting from the day of the arrest," she added. "I'll let you be the judge but it is going to take me time to organize and far to lengthy for one tweet."

Lauri Peterson's Son Joshua Set To Go On Trial For Attempted Murder

LATimes.com:

The attempted-murder trial for Joshua Waring, son of former "Real Housewives of Orange County" star Lauri Peterson, is expected to begin Monday with jury selection.

Waring, 29, is facing three counts of attempted murder and other felony and misdemeanor charges in connection with a shooting at a former sober-living home in Costa Mesa in June 2016, according to Orange County Superior Court records.

Waring could face multiple life sentences if convicted.

His mother was a cast member on Bravo's Orange County-based reality TV series from its debut in 2006 until 2008.

A man identified only as Daniel L. was seriously injured in the shooting in the 2900 block of Babb Street.

Witnesses told police that Waring had left the house, described as a "drug crash pad," after a confrontation with a resident but returned around 2:30 a.m. June 20 in a BMW X3 belonging to his girlfriend, authorities said. Shots were fired at three people outside, authorities said.

Waring was arrested about eight hours later after a police pursuit through Santa Ana.

Attempted-Murder Charges Dismissed, Then Refiled Against Son of Lauri Waring

LATimes.com:

Attempted-murder and other charges were dismissed Friday but promptly refiled against Joshua Waring, son of a former star of “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” after a judge ruled that he was denied his right to a speedy preliminary hearing.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Thomas Goethals dismissed the charges related to a 2016 shooting outside a home in Costa Mesa that left a man seriously wounded.

Waring’s mother is Lauri Peterson, who was a cast member on Bravo’s O.C.-based reality TV series from its debut in 2006 until 2008.

Waring’s attorney, Joel Garson, filed a motion Aug. 29 to dismiss the charges, alleging that Waring was denied his right to a speedy preliminary hearing, was initially not permitted to represent himself and was precluded from questioning a witness who could have provided helpful testimony to his defense during his preliminary hearing last November, when he represented himself.

“By [delaying] his preliminary hearing … and forcing counsel on a defendant who insisted on self-representation, Waring was denied his speedy trial rights under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment,” Garson wrote.

Waring was charged with three counts of attempted murder, one count of unlawfully discharging a firearm at an inhabited dwelling, three counts of assault with a firearm, a count of shooting at another person from a motor vehicle and a count of evading police while driving recklessly, all felonies.

Report Finds No Gunshot Residue on Lauri Waring’s Son Facing Attempted-Murder Charges

LATimes.com:

Joshua Waring, son of former “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Lauri Peterson, did not have gunshot residue on his hands or clothing after his arrest in connection with a Costa Mesa shooting last year, according to an analysis performed by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical-Examiner Coroner.

However, forensic experts cautioned against drawing the conclusion that the analysis supports Waring’s claim that the test results could exonerate him of attempted-murder charges.

Such tests are performed to help determine whether a suspect recently fired a gun.

Waring, 28, has been in Orange County Jail for 10 months in connection with a drive-by shooting in June outside a home in the 2900 block of Babb Street that left a man severely injured.

Waring said during a jailhouse interview with the Daily Pilot last week that the results of the gunshot-residue test, which he said was administered after his arrest, could exonerate him. Waring received the results Monday.

However, Debra Gibson, acting chief of forensics laboratories for the Los Angeles County coroner’s office, wrote in the analysis report, dated in February, that the findings are inconclusive.

Attempted-Murder Trial to Start For Son of Lauri Peterson Gets Delayed

LATimes.com:

Joshua Waring, son of former "Real Housewives of Orange County" star Lauri Peterson, won't face trial on charges of attempted murder for at least two weeks.

Waring's trial had been scheduled to begin Thursday. But after about 20 minutes of debate Thursday morning involving Waring, his attorney and Orange County Superior Court Judge Sheila Hanson, Waring ultimately agreed to delay his trial until Feb. 16 to give him time to retain a private defense attorney.

Deputy Alternate Defender Ray Chen, who currently represents Waring, had filed a motion Monday to delay the trial for several months to give him time to prepare Waring's defense.

"It would be a dereliction of my duty as an attorney to even contemplate answering 'ready' today," Chen said Thursday.

Waring initially refused to go along with his attorney's request for a delay and instead asked Hanson to allow him to make a phone call so another attorney could represent him at trial Thursday. Hanson declined, saying it is not up to her or court staff to aid his search for alternative counsel.

Earlier in the morning, Waring had refused to leave his jail cell for court until guards allowed him to make a phone call. The purpose of the call was unclear.

Testimony Begins In Son of Lauri Waring's Attempted Murder Trial

OCRegister.com:

Two people who said they were shot at by the son of a former “Real Housewives of Orange County” star testified Wednesday in a preliminary hearing about the “chaos” at the shooting scene in Costa Mesa.

When gunfire erupted outside of a home at 2959 Babb St., one of the victims, who lived in a garage there, said, “I turned and ran in the other direction toward the main house … That walkway was like a shooting gallery. It was horrible.”

One of the victims, Danny Lopez, “was shot, but he wasn't sure he was shot or not. It was chaos,” testified Jennifer M, whose last name was withheld in court.

When asked how many times the defendant, Joshua Michael Waring, 27, opened fire from a white 2011 BMW X3, Jennifer said, “I just knew it was a lot. At least eight. I saw every one of them -- the flashing.”

The BMW slowly rolled by the house as the gunfire rang out in rapid succession, Jennifer testified. Then the car “sped off,” she said.

“I called the police to let them know someone had been shot,” she testified.

When police arrived, they ordered everyone out of the house, but Jennifer testified she was reluctant to leave her bleeding friend as she tended to him. Another friend told police that Jennifer “was pregnant at the time.”

Jennifer added that about a week after the shooting, “I had a miscarriage. I don't know if it was because of this.”

Waring, who is acting as his own attorney, attempted to undermine Jennifer's testimony as he cross-examined her.

Waring asked her, “Is this the first time we've met?”

“No, we've met before,” she replied.

When Waring pressed further, Jennifer said that the defendant was at the Babb Street house once before when they were both there, but she wasn't “100 percent” sure they were introduced.

Lauri Peterson's Son Josh Faces Additional Criminal Charges

OCRegister.com:

The son of a former star on “The Real Housewives of Orange County” is facing nearly a dozen new criminal charges linked to an attempted-murder case.

Joshua Waring, 27, the troubled son of former reality TV personality Lauri Peterson, was initially charged in June with attempted murder for allegedly shooting a 35-year-old man in the lower torso in Costa Mesa.

Two other victims, a man and a woman, were standing nearby but not hit, prompting prosecutors to file two additional attempted-murder charges.

Waring refused to come out of his jail cell for his first court appearance, but in July he appeared in court and pleaded not guilty to the charges, court records show.

This month, prosecutors filed nine new felony charges related to the case, including discharging a firearm at a home, assault, battery, reckless driving and resisting arrest.

Waring has denied the new allegations and is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on Sept. 28. His attorney, Ray Chen, could not be reached for comment.

After the alleged shootings, Waring led police on a chase in a stolen BMW, authorities said. After getting into a traffic accident, he took off on foot near Fourth and Terminal streets in Santa Ana and tried to hide in a store before surrendering, authorities said.

A resident of San Juan Capistrano, Waring has a history of mostly drug-related charges. He has been arrested in the past on suspicion of assault and spousal battery and has several cases pending in Orange County Superior Court.

Lauri Peterson's Son Josh Waring Pleads Not Guilty To Attempted Murder Charges

RadarOnline.com:

Nearly a month after his shocking arrest Joshua Waring, the son of Real Housewives of Orange County alum Lauri Peterson, was arraigned on Friday. The 27-year-old heroin addict has appeared in a Costa Mesa courtroom and has pleaded not guilty to all charges, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal.

On June 20, Waring was arrested after he allegedly shot a man in front of his home, which is also in Costa Mesa, California.

Police told the Los Angeles Times that the disturbed defendant shot 35-year-old Daniel Lopez in the upper torso at around 2:30 a.m. Lopez was hospitalized at the time and is expected to recover.

“Apparently there had been a previous confrontation between [Waring] and the occupants of that residence earlier, and he had returned,” Costa Mesa police Lt. Paul Beckman said.

As previously reported, Waring currently has a whopping seven charges filed against him: three counts of attempted murder, three counts personal use of a firearm and one count of inflicting great bodily injury.

The Bravo star, whose bail is still set at $1.09 million for all charges, is currently in police custody, an Orange Country Superior Court PIO said Friday.

As Radar also exclusively reported, neighbors were shocked by the disturbing incident.
“At about 1:30 a.m. my husband was still awake and heard people out in the street screaming and cussing,” a woman who lives across the street from the sober living facility, The Way Home, said of the dangerous altercation. “He came back in and just said he wasn’t going to deal with this.”

While the former reality star had two previous hearing dates scheduled, he did not appear before a judge on June 22, but Waring refused to leave his cell! The next day, his arraignment was postponed again due to undisclosed circumstances.

Joshua Waring, Son of Lauri Peterson, Suspected of Attempted Murder

USWeekly.com:

Joshua Waring, the son of former Real Housewives of Orange County star Lauri Peterson, has been arrested for suspicion of attempted murder, Us Weekly can confirm.

Waring, 27, shot a 35-year-old man in the torso around 2:30 a.m. in Costa Mesa, California, on Monday, June 20.

"Apparently there had been a previous confrontation between [Waring] and the occupants of that residence earlier, and he had returned," Costa Mesa police lieutenant Paul Beckman said in a statement via the Los Angeles Times.

Waring wasn't handcuffed until several hours later, after a car chase with police. He crashed while driving a stolen SUV and tried to run away before authorities booked him. According to a Costa Mesa police press release, Waring was initially spotted by an Orange County Sheriff's helicopter and "surrendered" at the scene. The gun used hasn't been found yet.

The unidentified victim, meanwhile, was taken to Orange County Global Medical Center and is expected to survive, according to Costa Mesa Fire Department.

The Original Housewives of Orange County Get Real on the First Season, 10 Years Later

EW.com:

Ten years ago, on March 21, 2006, The Real Housewives of Orange County premiered, and forever changed reality TV. The first series of Bravo’s hit Real Housewives franchise, RHOC is currently in production for an 11th season, which is set to begin airing this summer. When the pilot debuted a decade ago, it kicked off one of the biggest reality TV phenomena in the format’s brief history — not that anybody knew it at the time.

“I did not think it would make it to television,” original cast member Lauri Peterson tells EW. “I thought, ‘Okay, they’ll shoot a few scenes and try to put it together, and just like a million other people that attempted a reality show, it won’t fly and that will be it.’”

She wasn’t alone in that lack of foresight. In honor of the 10th anniversary of the premiere of RHOC — and by extension, the 10th anniversary of the birth of the entire Real Housewives empire — EW caught up with Peterson and her season 1 castmates Jo De La Rosa, Vicki Gunvalson, and Jeana Keough, none of whom ever dreamed that the show would reach its current degree of popularity.

”I really never thought it was going to amount to anything,” admits Gunvalson, the only original Housewife who is still a member of the current cast. “Reality wasn’t a thing back then,” De La Rosa adds. “It was a very foreign concept to me.” Keough echoes her sentiment, “I don’t think I even knew what a reality show was.”

The first season’s opening credits begin with the foreword, “Seven million families live in gated communities.” The five wives of RHOC’s first season — Peterson, De La Rosa, Gunvalson, Keough, and Kimberly Bryant — all lived in the exclusive gated community Coto De Caza in Orange County, California, and the Desperate Housewives-inspired series sought to examine their lavish lifestyle “behind the gates.”

“The homeowner’s association had big meetings at the club, trying to decide if there was any way they could stop us from filming,” Keough recalls. “They tried to see if they could fight it, and the lawyers would say, ‘No, look, it’s not even a big production.’ Back then we had karaoke boxes and a little handheld movie camera; now, it’s a full-on four-camera shoot.”

Kimberly Bryant must've really gone into hiding for them not to even get a quote from her.

Lauri Peterson Adopted Her Drug-Addicted Son’s Daughter

ImmortalNews.com:

Former star of Real Housewives of Orange County, Laura Peterson, has revealed that she has adopted her own granddaughter. The child, who was approximately months old at the time of the adoption, but has now reached the age of three, is the biological daughter of Lauri’s son Joshua, reports StarPulse.

The adoption came about due to difficulties Josh and his wife were having raising the child. According to RadarOnline, Josh was in the grip of a strong heroin addiction. He was arrested for shoplifting and possession of meth paraphernalia. To exacerbate the matter, this arrest included a “wild brawl” with police that was captured on video. Josh pleaded not guilty to the pleas, and his sentence was reduced to 120 days in prison, starting on November 20th, 2014. This came after a June 2014 jail sentence and a September 2014 jail sentence.

"It’s been such a great experience because this is helping them out and hopefully they can get their lives together and be OK. But … now I get to see a side of George that I’ve never seen before. And if I was in love with him before, I’ve fallen so hard in love with him now because he is so generous to take on this huge responsibility."

With the family struggling, and the father having difficulties of his own which made his presence in his daughter’s life difficult, Lauri and her husband George decided to step in and help, reported Bravo’s The Daily Dish.

While the situation is difficult, the adoption is actually proving to be a boon to Lauri and George’s relationship. The Daily Dish quoted Lauri as saying “It’s been such a great experience because this is helping them out and hopefully they can get their lives together and be OK. But … now I get to see a side of George that I’ve never seen before. And if I was in love with him before, I’ve fallen so hard in love with him now because he is so generous to take on this huge responsibility.”

Lynne Curtin Wants To Return To 'RHOC': Lauri Peterson Not So Sure, Jeana Keough 'No'

EOnline.com:

It was a blast from the past on Watch What Happens Live! Andy Cohen brought together three former Real Housewives of Orange County stars—Lauri Peterson, Lynne Curtin and Jeana Keough—to weigh in on the RHOC season, the reunion drama and stoke the flames of possible comebacks.

Both Jeana and Lynne appeared this season of RHOC and Lauri previously returned in season eight as a "friend." So would they come back as full-time cast members?

"No," Jeana quickly answered when asked by a caller whether she'd be back full-time. The same caller asked which cast member she'd vote off and Meghan King Edmonds was her voice.

"Probably not," Lauri said. But Andy was quick to point out Lauri always has "caveats." "It's always a discussion," he said. As for who she'd vote off, it's her frienemy Vicki Gunvalson.

"I would love to come back, of course," Lynne said. Lynne was a cast member for seasons four and five and has popped back up ere and there. She said her daughters, who were featured prominently during her time on the show, are "a little scorned" from the experience.

"They won't let me watch the show right now," she said. They're a little bit hurt by things that happened on the show with them. For the most part they've survived, as I have."

Lauri gave an update on her son Joshua is still struggling with addiction. "It's not good," she said. They are in contact though, but it's "really bad." "At this point, our government hasn't figured out how to handle addiction and until they figure out how to treat it like an illness instead of criminalizing it, things just aren't going to change, so it's really bad."

Meanwhile, Jeana, who is friends with both Tamra Judge and her ex Simon Barney, said she talks to both of them and said they both encourage the kids to see each other. Tamra revealed her son Spencer lives with her and her daughter Sidney lives with Simon.

Vicki Gunvalson On Gretchen Rossi: "I’m Glad She’s Gone" From RHOC

DailyMail.co:

When it launched over seven years ago, the TV series The Real Housewives of Orange County proved such a hit with viewers that it went on to spawn a seemingly endless array of clones.

Providing a peek into the gilded lives of America’s wealthy and fabulous, the success of the show eventually led to further off-shoots such as The Real Housewives of Atlanta and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, even extending overseas with The Real Housewives of Athens.

A complicated miscellany of catfights, hair extensions, marital discord, bling and group hugging, the shows make for baffling yet compulsive viewing – none more so than the original series which is currently filming its ninth season.

Vicki Gunvalson, the doyenne of the OC franchise, has the distinction of being the longest-serving member of the series and is the only housewife to last all nine seasons. ‘And I guess it’s because I’m just a glutton for punishment!’ she says. ‘I don’t know why I’ve lasted the distance, other than it’s because my life has been so eventful.

'I’ve raised children, become a grandmother, I have my own business and I’ve been through a divorce and that’s everyday life for a lot of people out there these days.’

While some viewers may relate to the show’s glamorous characters, it’s perhaps more reasonable to assume that most keep watching because of the incessant squabbling.
A cast reunion which aired earlier this year not only managed to throw up tears (from Housewife Gretchen Rossi) and tantrums (between Housewives Heather Dubrow and Lydia McLaughlin), but also accusations of a threesome (directed at Vicki, who promptly denied everything).

With tensions running high, little wonder then that some of the Housewives have reportedly been axed since the last series, namely the afore-mentioned Gretchen as well as Alexis Bellino, who appeared on the show for four seasons.

Indeed, Vicki herself seems to confirm this by saying: ‘I’m sad about Alexis – she was very beautiful and good eye candy for the viewers, but Lydia [who recently quit the show after just one season] I never really knew.’

And what of Gretchen, who recently took to Twitter, implying that Vicki had bullied her? ‘I never bullied her, that’s just not true,’ says Vicki. ‘And I’m glad she’s gone. She’s a troublemaker and 90 per cent of her stuff was fake.

'Actually, who knows if what she did was real or fake but my perception of her was that she just wasn’t authentic.’

Authenticity may not always be the first quality Real Housewives’ devotees look for, but there’s no doubt that the show has its fair share of drama, not least when Vicki is on screen.

During her seven-year tenure on the show, she has divorced Donn Gunvalson, her husband of 16 years, taken up with a businessman Brooks Ayers (who then ended their relationship during the afore-mentioned reunion special) and has been accused by recurring Housewife Lauri Peterson of indulging in a threesome.

One imagines that her relationship with Lauri in particular is somewhat frosty these days? ‘There is no relationship,’ admits Vicki. ‘She’s a liar who caused trouble and then left. There was some dirty, dirty stuff she said which wasn’t true. [The threesome allegation] was all lies.’

More troubling perhaps for fans of Vicki – and indeed for her own family – is that despite the apparent break-up between Vicki and Brooks, she now reveals that they are in fact still together.

Brooks has come in for repeated criticism throughout their on-off relationship, not only regarding rumours that he was unfaithful to Vicky with a stripper-slash-porn star (which he denied), but in particular when secretly recorded audio tapes were released where he declared his plans to ‘f***ing beat [Vicki’s] ass’ and referred to his girlfriend as a ‘f***ing whore’ (Ayers subsequently apologised for his comments).

'We are still seeing each other from time to time,' says Vicki. 'He lives in a different state – but he was wrongfully abused on the show, both by other cast members and my daughter [Briana].

'They magnified the truth. I wouldn’t be with someone who didn’t treat me right, who didn’t treat me like a princess, and I don’t need to be protected,’ she says, adding: ‘I mean, I’m 51 – I’ve got this!

'We tried breaking up and it didn’t really work for us, but I’m just dating him – we’re not married or engaged – and dating someone is how you find out about them.

'I know my daughter worries, but she’s only met him four times and in any case, we each have our own lives to lead – we can’t lead anyone else’s life for them. Other people have their opinions but I really, really care for this man.’

Vicki Gunvalson Says She Regrets Joining ‘Real Housewives Of Orange County’: The Show Broke Up My Family!

RadarOnline.com:

In a candid new interview, Real Housewives of Orange Country star Vicki Gunvalson is blaming the hit reality show for destroying her family.

Despite signing up for eight seasons of RHOC, the veteran Bravolebrity star has some regrets about appearing on the show.

“I think that my family would still be together. There’s some really great things that have come from the show, but one of the downsides was that it broke up my family, and that’s tough to take,” she told Digital Spy.

The 51-year-old admitted the show was the main reason she split with her husband Donn Gunvalson in 2010, after a 19-year union.

“I think the show had a lot to do with me getting divorced. I think it was too much pressure on a weak marriage. I wonder where Donn and I would be now if we didn’t do the show. But we elected to do the show together as a family. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out for us,” she explained.

As one of the longest standing Real Housewives in the franchise, Gunvalson has experienced plenty of drama and admitted she’s thought about quitting the show “every year.”

“It’s not easy to be judged, to be ridiculed, to be talked down to,” she says.

So why does she continue to return?

“I’m not a quitter, and I feel like the viewers still want to see me. My story’s not over. I try to bring some good to the show, as best as I can, to inspire single women,” she adds.

Vicki's full of it and obviously looking for a scapegoat for why her marriage with Donn ended bad as well as her last relationship with Brooks. Over the years viewers have certainly noticed how wacky and selfish Vicki can be and she's an admitted workaholic (which according to her and Donn himself, contributed greatly to her marriage not working out) and with Brooks, she should've just listened more to the people around her who knew that he wasn't a good guy. RHOC had little to do with breaking up her family, if anything it just highlighted the problems that were going to end things anyway.

Lauri Peterson Says Saw Vicki Gunvalson In Bed With A Man AND A Woman Not Once, But Twice

RumorFix.com:

The Real Housewife of Orange County’s Lauri Waring Peterson is o was on the show for the first four seasons, is a lightening rod of controversy.

Her allegations that she saw fellow Housewife Vicki Gunvalson in bed with another man AND another woman — has sent Vicki into a fury.

And now in an exclusive interview with RumorFix, she says she witnessed this more than once.

“I absolutely did see this,” she tells our Real Mr. Housewife. “There wasn’t just one occasion, there were two occasions. One occasion was in San Diego in which the same woman, Vicki, and I were sharing a room. I was on a roll away bed. The other two women were in individual beds. The man came in — who I know also, as he works in the insurance industry– all of these are married people. He came in and bounced back and forth between beds. I took a sleeping pill and went to sleep, because I didn’t want to know. I did see them in bed together.”

Then she says it happened in New Orleans at an insurance convention. “I was going to spend the night in Vicki’s room,” she says. “When I came in to the room I was expecting to be by myself, because I thought everybody was out having fun. When I walked into the room the same three people were in one bed together. Like I said they were under the covers. I don’t know what they were doing. I don’t want to know what they were doing. I did see it. That’s the thing that I will stand by. I won’t speak about anything unless I witnessed it first hand, like Vicki told me about her indiscretions or I actually saw something with my own eyes. Whether I saw a text message or I see something – those are the things that I will speak about.

Nothing else. ”

Lauri does want to point out, “I do not know if they were having sex, because the scene made me feel uncomfortable and it was awkward for me, because all of these people are married.”

Vicki has written in her blog, “It’s wrong, filled with lies, unjustifiable, and just plain mean what Lauri has been saying about me.”
