“They do have a long history together and I think Heather would’ve expected to have been one of her primary friends. It’s not like I’m faulting Heather for wanting something that’s reasonable. If it’s not happening, you gotta let it go,” defined the New Yorker. “I’m not so catty and petty that I’m gonna go and cry about that [Heather’s friendship with Tamra], but it just was a bad look for Heather, honestly.”

I have to take that at face value because she’s my friend.’ I understand that. What she didn’t have to do was go and tell Tamra the things that I was saying to try and help her as a friend after telling me I wasn’t being a good friend to her. At that point, I was out.”

I felt like I was overcompensating and being more sensitive to her feelings.”

I feel like she was chasing something that she shouldn’t have been chasing, and despite her efforts to try and redirect that, she’s a grown woman and she’s gonna do what she wants to do and she did. I don’t think it was in her best interest but maybe it’s a learning lesson.”
Gina additionally teased Vicki’s anticipated return to the present. “Oh my god, you guys should be so excited. I’m not even joking,” she stated, by way of HollywoodLife. “Vicki is so great. I never thought I would say that either.”

I was like, ‘Who is this person?’ ” stated the star. “She seems really happy to me … Like genuinely happy which is really amazing and awesome for her. And she’s freaking hysterical. She’s just so naturally herself. She comes in, she says hysterical s**t, she makes trouble just being herself. And it’s all incredible.”
According to the star, Vicki makes a giant reveal on the journey, and this was Gina’s “favorite moment of the entire season.”
“[It’s] something that Vicki shared about her life and something that she does. It blew my mind. I was like, ‘What?’ I couldn’t stop asking her questions about it,” she defined. “I was like why isn’t everyone else asking questions about this? It was just so great.”
