The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Episode 15 saw Brooks and Meghan have it out regarding his past – and her interest in it.
Once again, it was party time on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Episode 15, but not everyone was in a celebratory mood.
The whole debate over Brooks Ayers faking cancer – first alleged by a psychic and later Meghan King Edmonds – has cast a pall over the season.
Is Vicki Gunvalson’s controversial boyfriend really being dishonest about the disease, or obscuring some details of his Stage 3 cancer diagnosis?
Edmonds has been “scouring the Internet” for clues about Ayers’ condition, and going even further than that in a truly shameless move.
She called his doctor’s office pretending to be a patient and then texted one of his exes in order to corroborate his previous statements.
Yeah. Pretty amazing.
It all came to a head at Shannon Beador’s party, with Gunvalson and Ayers squaring off against Meghan and her husband, Jim Edmonds.
“It’s kind of nuts,” Brooks said of the speculation and motivation of his fellow cast members to “investigate” something they know nothing about.
He’s not wrong there.
Brooks added that he can’t understand motivation of a person he barely even knows – and who has no genuine interest in his well-being – to do this.
Again … not wrong.
The fact that Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks broke up just before this storyline aired is interesting, for sure, as an aside as we piece all of this together.
Still, it was Edmonds who came off looking desperate and even a bit shady on this night, not the man she set out to paint as a duplicitous liar.
Gunvalson mused if she should get a restraining order, but Meghan didn’t relent, instead hammering away at the “discrepancies” in Ayers’ story.
Her “evidence” was a list of curious details that were confusing at times, but not necessarily incriminating in the way she was making them sound.
“I don’t owe you an explanation,” Brooks said, reiterating that all of this violated his personal boundaries (and she basically had nothing).
Meghan than amazingly said that his conduct “hugely concerns” her and “I will continue to ask questions about cancer until there’s a cure.”
What. The. F–k.
Mrs. Edmonds then tried to deflect a bit, telling Tamra Barney that Brooks had called her credibility into question, setting off a new feud.
Finally, Jim Edmonds had to intervene: “You have to stop. You have to stop,” he told his wife, and it remains to be seen if she will anytime soon.
