Vicki Gunvalson has had her fair share of health problems throughout the years. In August 2024, The Real Housewives of Orange County alum made headlines for her health when she revealed that she had been diagnosed with a "deadly" infection and only had a "10 to 20 percent" chance of survival. "There's a lot of hours missing in my life because I go, like, amnesia," Gunvalson said during an episode of "My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast" at the time, noting that she went to the hair salon "as usual" earlier that month.
