Tamra Barney and Vicki Gunvalson are totally cool -- just ask them! The veteran Real Housewives of Orange County stars' friendship has been a roller coaster from the start, but was on a potential upswing at the beginning of season eight -- only to hit yet another snag on the explosive Monday, April 22 episode.
After the pair called a very tentative truce a few episodes back, Barney tested the waters by inviting Gunvalson to an intimate dinner party at her not-yet-opened new health club, C.U.T. Fitness O.C.. Gunvalson accepted -- and then surprisingly extended an invite to fellow housewife (and Barney enemy) Alexis Bellino. Although Barney and Bellino weren't on speaking terms -- last year, Bellino accused Barney of bullying her and even threatened to sue her -- Barney reluctantly allowed Bellino to attend her bash.
Once the dinner party (also attended by Gretchen Rossi, Heather Dubrow and new castmember Lydia Stirling-McLaughlin) got underway, the proceedings quickly devolved into an ugly war of words between Bellino and Barney -- with the hostess angrily pulling out Bellino's chair and bellowing, "Get the f--- out! Get out now!"
Barney also had a warning for erstwhile pal Gunvalson, Bellino's escort for the evening. "Vicki, you can choose your side right now," she said. "If you're gonna side with her, then you get the f--- out too. Done!"
So, how are things nowadays for Vicki and Tamra? "We got back together," Barney assured Us Weekly visit to NYC office. "We're dating again!"
