After 14 years, Bravo asked Vicki Gunvalson to take a step back.
The 57-year-old was downgraded to 'friend' on the 14th season of The Real Housewives Of Orange County and the star opened up about the demotion on the latest episode of Jerry O' talk show.
After starring in the show since it began in 2006, the natural stunner revealed to host Jerry O'Connell: 'I don't know what my future is, but I'm having fun and they're my friends.'

She began the interview by confessing she sought advice from Bravo head boss Andy Cohen.
'I talked to Andy Cohen last night, because I said, "What do I say?" He said, "You know what, nobody has ever lasted 14 years on a reality show, be happy and proud of that."'
'And I'm still in. Our producer Scott Dunlap said, "Unless they kick you off the horse, don't voluntarily get off the horse."'
'So, I'm still on the horse. I'm still on the pony!'

Vicki continued to wax on about her love for the reality show even through the more difficult times.
'I have a very much love for my franchise and love for what I've created in 14 years…we've been through hell and back, but truthfully it's our reality,' she dished.
'It's what my life has gone through in the last 14 years and it's been some bumpiness…'

Lasting love: 'I have a very much love for my franchise and love for what I've created in 14 years…we've been through hell and back, but truthfully it's our reality,' she dished
She also opened up about her ongoing feud with co-star Kelly Dodd.
'Kelly and I were friends and it went bad fast…At the end of the day, I feel really bad about it.
'I don't like having enemies… I like having peace in my life and the unfortunate thing is Kelly and I went sideways and kept going sideways and she is just not a kind person…I don't want to be around not nice people at this time in my life.'
Tense: 'It's what my life has gone through in the last 14 years and it's been some bumpiness…'
Meanwhile, the blonde bombshell insists she's still 'right in the middle of the action' of RHOC as she posted an Instagram shot of herself last month with the caption: 'I am proud to be the "OG of the OC”'.
'For the past 14 years I’ve opened up my life, my loves, my ups and downs on The Real Housewives of Orange County,' she began the posting.
'I am back again this season right in the middle of the action, and I hope you have as much fun watching the show as I did living it in front of the cameras. Stay tuned to Bravo August 6th' she added.

Vicki was the only remaining original star on the show. The next longest run was Tamra Judge who began in Season 3 and continues as a housewife to this day.
The OG recently got engaged to Steve Lodge and her appearances on the show will revolve around the journey.
The Real Housewives of Orange County premiered on Tuesday, August 6 at 9pm ET/PT on Bravo.
