‘RHOC' Secrets Revealed: Vicki Gunvalson Will ‘Absolutely’ Charge Brooks Ayers Rent, If They Move In Together

The future of Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers’ rocky relationship was a focal point of The Real Housewives of Orange County: Secrets Revealed special Monday night, as in one uncomfortable sequence, “The O.G. from the O.C.” was put on the spot about possible living arrangements with her on-again, off-again lover.
In a never-seen-before excerpt from the show’s ninth reunion special, Gunvalson said she’s selling her Coto de Caza, Calif. home, and finalizing plans on a new one, but hasn’t explicitly discussed with Ayers whether or not he’d be moving in, and what the arrangement of such would be.
When Andy Cohen asked Gunvalson — who admitted she’s seeing Ayers, but would be open to dating someone else, if the situation was right — whether or not Ayers would be helping out with the rent on the new home, Gunvalson didn’t hesitate to say he would.
“Absolutely, and he would have a lease agreement, absolutely,” she said.
Ayers then chimed in with a rambling explanation in which he said he’d “have some stake in the house” — an assessment which Vicki questioned.
Ayers said that “six months down the road, there’s a value on the house, and if I move in, stuff moving forward … three or four years down the road, she sells it … I’m not throwing away rent here.”
At that point, Heather DuBrow aggressively, but diplomatically, urged Gunvalson to have a financial agreement in place on any prospective deals in the works.
“Oh hello, do you think I wouldn’t?” Gunvalson snapped back. “What do you think I do for a living? Finances!”

Tamra — likely referencing Vicki’s past financial follies with ex-husband Donn — mocked Vicki, chiming in, “Well it didn’t work out very well for you last time!”
Vicki snapped back: “Actually it did, actually it did: Donn could have gotten forever spousal support.”
Readers, your thoughts: Should Vicki let Brooks move into her new digs, or would it be a bad move?
