Tamra Barney and Vicki Gunvalson aren’t spilling any tears over the loss of Gretchen Rossi and Alexis Bellino, both of whom won’t be returning for season nine of The Real Housewives of Orange County.
In fact, the ladies threw major shade at their former co-stars in a live television interview on Monday morning, admitting they don’t miss them!
“We ran them out of the O.C.,” Barney said during an appearance on TODAY with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb.
“Do you miss them?” Gifford probed, to which Gunvalson responded: “I miss Alexis. Her and I are good friends.”
“Nobody misses Gretchen?” Gifford pushed.
Responding sarcastically, Barney said, “Who? I’m sorry, who? When you’re gone, you’re gone!"

“Well, she’s not dead,” Gifford stated, to which Barney interjected, “Yet!”
Gunvalson, who has been on the show for nine seasons, added: “That’s why there’s a rear view mirror. She’s in the past!”
Next, Barney was asked about whether the kids she had with Simon Barney appear on the hit Bravo show or not.

“My littlest Sophia, who is 8, she wanted to be on the show. We tried to work it out with her father, and he didn’t want any part of it,” Barney revealed.
As RadarOnline.com exclusively reported in December, Barney went to an Orange County court in a desperate attempt to have a judge overrule her ex and allow their three children to be filmed as part of the show.
But a furious Simon said the couple’s eldest children — Sidney, 15, and Spencer, 13 — had experienced “social ridicule” after scenes were aired depicting their mom’s “head in naked strippers crotches, sex toys and sexual comments” during the last season of the popular program. Because of this, he refused to let his eight-year-old Sophia film either.
