\u201cIt\u2019s that love-hate relationship all the time. I\u2019m talking sisterly love, like, you have little arguments. And then, of course, being on a show together, there\u2019s always ups and downs \u2014 especially the type of show that we were on together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gunvalson added, \u201cI don\u2019t think either one of us apologized. We are who we are. I just have a different viewpoint on the show, and it\u2019s a strong viewpoint. I can\u2019t do toxic. I told Tamra yesterday, \u2018You guys are going into a deep, dark hole. I hate it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cRHOC\u201d Season 19 cast included Judge, Shannon Beador, Heather Dubrow, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti and Katie Ginella. It\u2019s not yet clear who will be joining Gunvalson for Season 20. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The \u201cOG of the OC\u201d is back!
