The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Vicki Gunvalson called her co-star and (former?) BFF Tamra Barney a “bitter” woman on the show’s reunion Monday.

Given what we’ve seen lately, and the rumors that execs have fired Tamra Barney for causing too much drama (on a Bravo show!) it’s touch to argue Vicki’s point.

Vicki, who was crushed when she found out that Barney told Lizzie Rovsek she didn’t approve of Vicki’s beau Brooks Ayers, dished it back and then some.

"I could give a rat’s ass if you like him, but just shut your mouth,” she said.

“She asked me! What do you want me to do? Lie?!” Tamra Barney asked.

It wouldn’t be the first time, as Vicki immediately and pointedly noted.

“You do it all the time,” Gunvalson said, throwing shade at her hard.

“F–k you!” Barney retorted.

 

Tamra, who also slammed Lizzie Rovsek (again), then sneered of Gunvalson’s low profile this past season, “You sat back and you did nothing this year.”

“I had a great year, are you jealous?” Gunvalson replied.

“If you’re so happy, why are you so miserable? You’re supposed to be getting better and better, but guess what? You get bitter and bitter, that’s what you do."

Yes … if you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online, you will see two grown women arguing over who had the better "year" as reality stars.

It made for an explosive reunion episode, that’s for sure.

When Vicki called out Tamra’s marriage to Eddie Judge, she shot back, “I am extremely happy in my marriage. Why are you going there, nasty person?!”

Gunvalson hit back hard at that one: “Why are going in my relationship, nasty person? Stay the hell out of it and don’t ever say f–k you to me ever again.”

Time will tell if she gets that chance – either on the show or in real life – or if Barney and Gunvalson are done as friends and cast members forever.

At least she still has her looks?
