Meanwhile, Gunvalson slammed her Bravo co-stars for not supporting her in the situation. "I was so hurt on how they reacted to the information being relayed from him," she said. "I would have thought that they would have said, 'You know what Vicki, if he's lying or not lying, we still love you.' There would be no reason for me to lie! So that was the hard part, my friends … I never lied for him. What would be my benefit? So I think that was my biggest thing this year, getting back on the season, is handling all of those issues that they thought I lied."
Gunvalson insisted that she was only guilty of one thing — love. "I'm not a detective, I trust everybody … Why would I think it's a lie? I am not going to be like Tamra Judge and go out and do detective work on someone that I am sleeping with and loving … The truth will always come out one way or the other so … I just loved him," she said. "That is all. I was guilty of loving him hard. So here we are a year later. He's good, I'm good and life goes on."
