Vicki Gunvalson News: How Did 'RHOC' Star's Mother Die? She Meets With Medium For Answers [VIDEO]
Vicki Gunvalson lost her mom on an early episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, and next week, she's seen meeting with a medium.
Because Gunvalson's mother, Joanne Steinmetz, was not ill at the time of her passing, the longtime reality star didn't get much closure, when it came to the death, and was hoping the medium could give her some answers about how her mother died. While the medium didn't reveal what caused Steinmetz's death, he did offer a tidbit of information, which gave Gunvalson peace of mind.
"She keeps on saying, 'Billy, Billy.' There was no pain there," the medium informs Gunvalson and her brother in the Bravo sneak peek.
Vicki Gunvalson Deals With The Loss Of Her Mother On 'RHOC'
Following the episode in which Gunvalson learned of Steinmetz's shocking death, she honored her mother in a tribute blog. Speaking to fans, the Real Housewives of Orange County star revealed it was her brother, Billy, who discovered her mother's body.
“My mother died on February 4, 2015 for unknown causes," she wrote. "We elected not to do an autopsy, and the coroner said it was either a massive heart attack or an aneurysm. She was found by my brother around 8PM at night, laying on top of her covers on her bed. If it’s ‘your time to go,’ I can only say what a beautiful way to die. She was at peace with her golden retriever dog Maggie lying next to her. Billy said it looked like she was sleeping when he found her."
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 10 airs Monday nights at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
