"This season my mom dies. Last season, I had situations with Tamra (Judge) and then I look at another season where I decided to divorce (ex-husband) Don," she said.

She also talked of friends on the "The Real Housewives of Orange County" and expressed her opinion on how reality TV holds an impact on real life.

"My friends change from season to season. Tamra is my friend . . . right now . . . (Former cast member) Alexis Bellino absolutely is my friend. She reaches out to me weekly. I see Lynne (Curtin) every now and then. I see Jeana (Keough) every now and then. You think about all these people I've filmed with all these years and there's not many I stay in touch with," said Gunvalson.

"I definitely think you need a strong bond and a strong foundation . . . It's definitely tough on marriage and relationships. I'm in counseling over this because I don't know how to some days handle it. 'Is this my reality or is this reality?'" "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star said when asked about her marriage.

When asked about if she would ever want to leave the show, she said, "Yes. In the past three years I've thought about it. It's been hard to manage my personal life and then my insurance career . . . I weigh it out every year and there's always been more good than bad. When there is a day there's more bad than good, then I'm done . . . I don't live, breathe and die a TV show."

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" would not be complete without some drama, and true enough, it began with just that--and plenty of it.

When "The Real Housewives of Orange County" Season 10 trailer aired, it showed that Vicki might be having problems with newbie Meghan Edmonds.

When Vicki shared that her on-and-off again boyfriend Brooks might have cancer, other cast mates expressed empathy, but Meghan said Brooks is just faking his diagnosis, reported Fashion&Style.

Last week, viewers also saw "The Real Housewives of Orange County" newbie Meghan King Edmonds confronting Shannon Beador about a charity phone call gone wrong. This resulted in the possible permanent rift in the friendship of the two in season 10, episode 4.

While Shannon was with Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge for cocktails, it was revealed that she was not invited to a party hosted by Meghan.

The day of the night arrived, and Shannon and Vicki decided to have a party of their own with a lot of drinks. Tamra and Heather Dubrow told Meghan it was wrong not to invite Shannon. Meghan claimed she had no "malicious intent" in the exclusion of Shannon but that she just could not trust her behavior.

The episode ended on a positive note. with Shannon and Vicki having a blast in their own private party, while Lizzie and the rest of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" cast kept the party going without Meghan this time, according to The International Business Times.

But the tension between Meghan and Shannon is not over. Previews of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 10, episode 5, show Shannon confronting Meghan about not inviting her.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 10, episode 5, airs next Monday at 9:00 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
