The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Episode 18 Recap: I Will Kill Him Myself!

The Real Housewives of Orange County continued the Brooks Ayers cancer saga this week, but with a new critic leading the charge and piling it on.

Picking up where last week left off, The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Episode 18 kept the intensity level high as we learned:

1. That Vicki Gunvalson thinks Satan is behind this;


2. That her daughter Briana wants to KILL Brooks.

Regarding point number one, Vicki felt the evil nature of her co-stars’ assumptions about Brooks Ayers faking cancer had to be the devil’s work.

“When is enough enough?” Vicki asked. “He’s got cancer.”

Does he, though? Briana Culberson was not a fan of Brooks before hating on Brooks was popular. And she’s not exactly slowing down now.

Briana only stayed at her mom’s house during her visit to the O.C. because Ayers was away on business. Even then, she felt his bad vibes.

“It feels heavy and uncomfortable and there’s just kind of a nasty feeling when you walk in the door,” Culberson told her husband, Ryan.

Ryan, for his part, noted the “weird musk” of Ayers’ existence.

If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online, you know that for the women, it’s equally confusing why Vicki defends him SO passionately.

Briana said there is “absolutely nothing Brooks can do for me to accept him” and that Vicki “fights to make something work that shouldn’t work.”

Because she doesn’t want to be alone is Briana’s theory.

Incredibly, this was BEFORE SHE KNEW about the cancer situation, which she conveniently found out about during an outing with Tamra Barney.

According to Briana, this was shocking on multiple levels.

When she first met Brooks, she said, he talked about having pancreatic cancer … only to admit after detailed questioning that it was pancreatitis.

Tamra’s details about Ayers made Bri more skeptical.

“I’ll kill him. I’ll kill him myself,” Briana told Tamra after hearing the latest scandal. “She’s gonna find out … or he’s just going to be ‘cured’ one day.”

This cast a pall over Tamra’s baptism – which she orchestrated after an especially trying period of her life, and which all the women planned to attend.

While the occasion was meant to make everyone reflective in a peaceful, positive and introspective way, it just made Gunvalson dig in even more.

“The truth is always the truth,” the O.G. of the O.C. said.

“Satan loves confusion. This is Satan’s work.”

No ma’am. It’s just Bravo’s.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Episode 16 Recap: Ask Brooks, I"m Done!

Suspicions of Brooks Ayers and Vicki Gunvalson continued to mount Monday on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Episode 16.

Immediately after the couple broke up this summer, the controversy over whether Brooks Ayers’ cancer is fake began airing on the Bravo series.

Brooks has been, admittedly, a shady person in past seasons.

If he weren’t, no one would run with these rumors in the first place or even think twice about them. So that’s a point that should be made earnestly.

Did Meghan King Edmonds cross a line with her interrogation last week, and does Vicki have a right to be upset? That’s a very different question.

What do Gunvalson’s other friends think about the situation?

Heather Dubrow, Tamra Barney and Shannon Beador took it to Vicki this week, grilling her over rumors and “inconsistencies” regarding Brooks.

Whether they love gossip mongering or are genuinely concerned, or maybe a little of both, we can’t say. But they all wanted her to do one thing:

Get Brooks to divulge his medical records and settle this.

If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online, you know this has been an ongoing issue and will likely continue to be for some time.

Again, Brooks has totally been a shifty character in the past. But when it comes to his cancer and “inconsistencies” in his story … evidence is thin.

He’s not asking anyone for money or using cancer to gain or avoid anything that we can think of. Nor is there hard proof that Ayers is lying. At all.

Asking him to prove the opposite, as Vicki says, feels “unconscionable” and rightly so … yet people are sure he’s lying about some or all of this.

It’s a bizarre situation, and the fact that Vicki and Brooks broke up right before this all started playing out on TV has piqued viewers’ suspicions.

“This is a group of people that love you,” Heather Dubrow told Gunvalson, noting that Ayers’ doctor doesn’t even have a background in oncology.

Gunvalson was unmoved, telling the cameras, “It’s not any of Heather’s business” and she’s not “feeding a monster that’s never going to be full.”

Later, Shannon Beador asked her why didn’t he chose to use Beador’s recommended doctors, after she’d gone out of her way to try to help out?

Gunvalson’s new answer?

“I’m trying to be as strong as I can be. I feel betrayed, I feel sad. When you’re a friend, you’re a friend. I don’t know how to end this, I just don’t.”

“Ask Brooks. I’m done.”

Is she, though?

Real Housewives Of Orange County Drama! Identity Of The Mistress Who Caused Major Strife In Shannon Beador"s Marriage Revealed!

We bet this revelation brings back a lot of bad memories for Shannon Beador!

Just a day after Shannon celebrated her 15th wedding anniversary with her husband, David Beador, the Daily Mail provided the identity of the woman who caused major drama in their marriage.

Apparently for eight months, David was sleeping with a huge tech mogul in Orange County — Nicole McMackin. The affair was a big storyline for Shannon on this season of Real Housewives of Orange County.

Yikes!

According to the media outlet, Beador met McMackin at a fancy business conference in 2013, which means they were friends prior to the relationship. The source also went on to add that the 43-year-old President of Irvine Technology Corp is also married.

Double yikes!

While this is all new info to us, Shannon herself had revealed on the show that she already knew the identity of the mistress and that they were even FRIENDS. In fact, Nicole allegedly gave the reality star advice on her marriage woes! So sneaky!

Despite all this drama, it appears the Beadors have moved ON. Check out this cute throwback photo (below)!

Happy 15th Anniversary to my husband who I love with all my heart! We have definitely been through so much, but I never could have imagined we would be in the amazing and blessed place we are today! ❤️A photo posted by Shannon Beador (@shannonbeador) on Sep 16, 2015 at 8:51am PDT

Aww. We’re just glad the couple got through this stronger than ever!!

Good luck, you guys!

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Episode 15 Recap: This is Kind of Nuts

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.

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Episode 15 Online

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.
