Lauri Peterson Says She Didn’t Come Back To Real Housewives of Orange County To Create Trouble For Vicki Gunvalson; Says Tamra Barney Twisted Things

A Magical Night of Hope

Real Housewives of Orange County star Lauri Peterson stopped by Watch What Happens Live tonight to dish on the drama surrounding her Vicki Gunvalson threesome bombshell. 

The first caller asks 'how could Gretchen not think Lauri was insinuating a threesome?' Lauri defended herself, "I was very clear that when I walked into the room, they were just under the covers.  I couldn't see what they were doing. It wasn't the first time, it was the second time, same people.  I didn't want to say that it was a sexual relationship because I didn't know. So I made it very clear to her at the time.  I wanted her to make sure that I wasn't positive."

The next fan asks Lauri what her motives are for coming on and telling Gretchen about what happened in the past and does she have a mission? Lauri says she didn't come back to stir up trouble.  "Absolutely not.  I came on with the mission of getting a chance to see the girls again. I have more time on my hands and I really thought it'd be fun to socialize.  I heard rumors that there was a conflict between Gretchen and Vicki, that Vicki had called her out on infidelity. It's one thing to hear something, but when you're being told first hand by the person it's affecting, I draw the line.  I'm not criticizing Vicki for having indiscretions, but when I knew what I know and she knows what she's done, how do you call someone else out on the very same thing that you're doing? You don't. You leave it alone.  So, I felt like I needed to back her up. "

Someone noted that Vicki gets really loud when she's on the defense.  Lauri agreed, "yes, it's called deflection.  You know how aggressive people try to push away people – that's exactly what I've noticed. Loud people kill me, they kill my ears. "

Has Vicki always been this uptight – even before RHOC? Lauri says "Yes."

Who she was more upset with about the threesome gossip getting back to Vicki:  "I was more upset with myself for saying anything. to anybody.  I kind of wish I had listened to Gretchen's situation and then gone to Vicki, but i was more upset with Tamra for the way she delivered the information, which was so far from what I said."

At the start of the show Andy read a Tweet from Vicki Gunvalson that slams Lauri for coming back on the show, saying that she must be broke.  (I should note that Vicki must've deleted the Tweet because it's gone now.) Andy squashed Vicki's theory admitting that he calls Lauri at the end of almost every season, trying to get her to come back.  So, we have Andy to thank.

The poll tonight was which RHOC star was the most classy lady and Heather Dubrow took the crown with 56%!
