Brooks Ayers Update: Cancer & Health Will Be Discussed During 'RHOC' Reunion Segment? [VIDEO]
Brooks Ayers recently shot his own Real Housewives of Orange County reunion segment.
As the women of the cast prepare to film the season 10 special later this week, a source has revealed Ayers, the former boyfriend of Vicki Gunvalson, sat down with host Andy Cohen earlier this month to discuss the speculation surrounding his stage 3 Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
“Bravo paid for the plane ticket and five star hotel,” an insider told Radar Online on Tuesday. “Andy interviewed Brooks about his cancer diagnosis and all of the questions surrounding it.”
“Brooks didn’t want to be at the reunion because he just didn’t want to deal with the other ladies on the show, especially Meghan Edmonds,” the source continued.
However, his ex-girlfriend was reportedly caught off guard by the news of Ayers filming.
“Vicki was completely blindsided by Brooks’ decision to do the interview with Andy,” the source explained. “Complicating matters, Brooks isn’t telling Vicki anything about the interview. She has no idea what was said, or if he threw her under the bus!”
Gunvalson “doesn’t want to look like a fool for dating Brooks,” the source added. “The silver lining of the situation is Vicki truly seeing Brooks as being an opportunist, and hopefully won’t get back together with him.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 10 airs on Mondays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
