AceShowbiz - Vicki Gunvalson has spoken out about her separation from Steve Lodge. In a message she shared online, the former "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star accused her ex-fiance of cheating on her.
On Friday, October 15, the 59-year-old reality star's best friend Tamra Judge mentioned her in a comment that read, "GET OUT OF BED @vickigunvalson and let's go whoop it up. I hate to see you so sad. No one is worth it girl. Especially after what you allegedly found out last night!" Tamra added, "You are beautiful, you are strong, you are smart! Don't let anyone tell you any different."
"Thanks Tamra. yes, I'm passing the baton on to you. My picker is obviously off," Vicki replied. After a fan took to the comment section to request "deets" on the situation, noting that Steve, who previously ran for governor of California, "seemed so wholesome and good for" her, she spilled, "He used me, he lied to me, he's been dating a 36-year-old and is not what he portrays himself to be. No Christian man would do what he's done."
Tamra then replied to Vicki's comment, explaining that all this happened "while [Steve was] sleeping in [Vicki]'s bed running for governor, using [Vicki]'s followers." In a separate comment, Vicki added, "While I was out of town working on a biz trip, he took her to my condo in Mexico! He's been flaunting around my town in OC making out in public places. It's disgusting."
Upon learning Vicki's accusations, Steve said in a statement, "The absolute lies she is now spreading on social media are very disappointing and disingenuous, to say the least." Steve added, "But I cannot say I'm surprised. She should not be dragging Tamra or anyone else into her lies."
"Vicki and I ended our engagement and relationship in December of 2020," Steve clarified as Vicki only confirmed their split in September this year. The politician continued, "We had not been in an intimate relationship since September of 2020."
Steve further stated that he has been living in Puerto Vallarta, in his own condo since the beginning of 2021. He added, "We remained friends, but it was clear to me Vicki was still wanting more, which I told her was not possible. I wanted to move on with my life and I could not do that with Vicki. I'm sorry that Vicki cannot accept this, but it was time." He concluded his statement as saying, "I still wish her all the best."
