Vicki Gunvalson denies being homophobic after tirade against Braunwyn Windham-Burke

December 28, 2019


Vicki Gunvalson is defending herself against accusations of being homophobic following her “Real Housewives of Orange Countyreunion rant against Braunwyn Windham-Burke.

The OC O.G. was met with hostility online after telling Burke she’s sick of the cast newbie’s wild behavior, including kissing co-star Tamra Judge on camera.

“Do it off-camera,” Gunvalson yelled. “Fifteen years, I started this show. We don’t do that. Turn it down, Braunwyn. Turn it down!”

Fans immediately accused the TV personality of being homophobic, as men and women kiss on every franchise of “Real Housewives” all the time.

“I’ve been seeing some things on social media that people are portraying me as homophobic. I’m gonna hit it right on, head on — I am not homophobic,” the reality star, 57, said in an Instagram video on Friday. “I’ve got family members that are gay and lesbian and I’ve got obviously Bravo fans, personal friends. I’m not [homophobic].”

She went on to double down on her take that Braunwyn is simply inappropriate, regardless of the sex of the person she’s dealing with.

“What I did say [is] I don’t think it’s appropriate for Braunwyn to be making out on TV. I don’t care if it was with her husband or Tamra [Judge] or anybody,” she continued. “I just think it’s inappropriate. If she wants to go do that, do that off-camera. I don’t really think that we all need to see it.

“I’m sorry if you all took it any differently than what the truth is. The truth is the girl bugs me, so probably pretty much anything that she does would bug me.”
