Another Getaway! Vicki Gunvalson Escapes Brooks Ayers Cancer Controversy With Trip To Salt Lake City, Hits Pub With Pals

Vicki Gunvalson is getting away from all the drama at home in the O.C.!

Just days after her relaxing spa trip in Santa Barbara, California, The Real Housewives of Orange County star, 53, took off for Salt Lake City, Utah, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The COTO Insurance & Financial Services CEO is in town for an Excel training program, she told her Twitter followers.

Last night after a long day of work, she hit up Salt Lake's Squatters Pubs & Beer with a group of her colleagues.

"We're amazing friends," the OG of the OC, clad in a fur coat, said on Periscope. "We've known each other for ten years in the industry. We're going to whoop it up!"

A friend of the grandmother of two tells RadarOnline.com that fans often forget she is much more than just a Housewife.

"Vicki owns a multi-million dollar company and is there every day. She works full time and does the show when she is not working," the source claims. "She has worked very hard and is incredibly well off."

But when Gunvalson returns from her getaway, she'll be forced to face the 'RHOC' chaos.

The explosive reunion special, which as RadarOnline.com reported, filmed earlier this month, will air on Bravo in two weeks.

As RadarOnline.com reported, a Bravo exec confessed earlier this week that he believed Gunvalson's ex, Brooks Ayers, faked his cancer diagnosis.

"I don't think that if something is true, he wouldn't be defending it like he is," producer John Hill told Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen on his radio show.

The season finale of RHOC airs Monday at 9 pm est.
