OVER In The O.C.! Brooks Ayers Breaks It Off With Vicki Gunvalson On Real Housewives Reunion

Following the release of our bombshell tapes reveling his darker side, Brooks Ayers broke up with Vicki Gunvalson during Monday's broadcast of this season's Real Housewives of Orange County reunion special, and we've got the clip for you right here on RadarOnline.com.
The shocking split came after a trying season that saw Brooks frequently clash with Vicki, her castmates, and her daughter, Briana Wolfsmith-Culberson, who was present at the reunion.
After Brooks was confronted with a number of complaints about his character -- including a bombshell from Briana that he'd bragged to her about his endowment, brandishing the nickname "Girth Brooks" -- Brooks decided to hang up his gloves.
"The resolution, obviously, is to exit stage right out of this family because of these strong feelings" against me, the Southern gentleman told Brianna, who shot back, "Because of what you've done, not about what I'm feeling."
Brooks said, "You asked me before, 'Do I love her enough to let her go?' I do."
"So we're not gonna be hearing soon that you guys are back together?" Brianna asked Brooks, who was emphatic in saying, "Not from me, not from me -- and that's the truth."
Brooks gave Vicki a kiss, and exited the stage, leaving her uncontrollably sobbing while the other housewives scattered around her to comfort and console.
"I want to have what I had before -- I just want my family back," she said.
Vick said the show's events left her "emotionally drained," as she "was looking forward to a future with Brooks, and it looks like it's over.
"I love my family, and I never want to see Brianna hurt," she said. "At the end of the day I love the man who left -- he never touched me, he never hurt me. I wasn't in an abusive relationship. I hope there's someone out there that will swoop me off of my feet again."
The breakup comes in the wake of our exclusive tapes in which Brooks calls Vicki a “f*cking whore” and threatens to “beat her ass."
