Denny’s, a stripper pole and puking on I-95: How ‘RHOC’ stars became Florida Woman
Blame it on Florida. Most people do.
“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Vicki Gunvalson ended up in a Key West hospital on Tuesday night’s episode of the Bravo reality show in South Florida.
But at least she had fun.
The Bravolebrity was down in the Sunshine State back in May shooting the two most current episodes with her fellow “RHOC” costars Kelly Dodd, Braunwyn Windham-Burke, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge.
Last week’s episode saw the ladies do Miami right. They stayed at The Confidante, sat by the pool, argued, drank, then hit up downtown 24/7 “ultra” club E11EVEN to party.
Insiders at the venue say Judge slid seductively up and down a stripper pole while her lady friends downed mucho champagne. Nothing new there.
The next day the crew packed up and left for Key West, cruising in two convertibles. While barely out of the gate, Dodd gets nauseated and pukes on I-95. Been there, done that.
Finally at the Parrot Key Hotel, the ladies decided to take a dip after hours and got chased out of the pool area by security.
While heading back to their rooms, Gunvalson slipped and hurt her foot and an ambulance was summoned.
On Wednesday, Beador posted an Instagram video of her pal on a gurney with an ice pack on her foot, giving viewers more of an idea of what happened that night.
Key West insiders tell the Miami Herald they were at the Lower Keys Medical Center, probably not a hotbed of reality TV show activity.
“Everything hurts down there,” says a confused looking (and soaking wet) Gunvalson in the clip.
Beador and Judge surround their costar, joking and making light of the situation.
Apparently, even though Gunvalson was wounded, she still managed to eat a sandwich that Denny’s had delivered to the women before the accident.
Gunvalson asks where her shoes, purse and other things are.
“It’s coming, it’s coming,” answers Beador. “We had to hop in the ambulance because we had your food: Moon Over My Hammy.”
Strip club, arguments, ER, Denny’s munchies: Sounds like a typical drunken night in South Florida to us.
