Vicki Gunvalson speaks! After the news that her ex-fiance Steve Lodge got engaged, fans were a little shocked. After all, we thought his breakup with Vicki was only 3 short months ago. Earlier this week, Steve announced, “I did ask Janis [Carlson] on Dec. 20 if she would become Mrs. Steve Chavez Lodge, and she happily agreed. We will be married in April 2022. We are both very excited, incredibly happy, totally in love and look forward to our life together.”
That obviously didn’t sit well with Vicki, who has previously accused Steve of being a cheater. Vicki spoke with E! News about Steve’s engagement and didn’t hold back. Said Vicki, “Only a narcissist would move out of my home in September and be engaged in December. At this point I can only thank God for tearing me away from the lies, the mind games, manipulations, being used, and I am finally set free to heal.” This is Brooks Ayers all over again!
Vicki continued, “It’s important to remember that I’m only mourning the person I thought he was, not the cruel manipulator he really is, and that is what gives me peace. I now see this as a blessing because if he did this now, God only knows what he would’ve done years down the line if I would’ve stayed with him.” She also added, “I’m not an evil person so I won’t wish him anything bad, I can only wish for him what he deserves in life…whatever that may be.”

But Steve has a different story. According to him, the two had been broken up since 202o. He said of their breakup, “I was very clear with Vicki in December of 2020. I told her in writing and verbally many times that I did NOT want to be in a romantic relationship with her anymore and ended it. We have not been in an intimate relationship since September of 2020 and that was few and far in between.” Hmmmm sounds a little convenient, doesn’t it?
Either way, Vicki’s rep is making it clear that she won’t get into a mudslinging match. Which means Vicki is done talking about Steve. Said her rep, “Mrs. Gunvalson is ending all comments and statements here. She is moving on with the next chapter of her life which includes many exciting new projects and ventures in the works. She has no more time for this nonsense, nor is she giving any more life to a person whom is no longer relevant in her life.”
