Vicki Gunvalson is adamant that she does not have COVID-19, but instead an “unknown cold.”
In response to a Daily Mail report that she contracted the virus, the “RHOC” alum shot back, “You’re not writing a story about an unknown cold I have.”
She added, with what the outlet described as a “croaky voice,” “My medical information is not public. Whatever happened to privacy? Do you want your medical records all over the internet?”
The 59-year-old also noted that she did not get vaccinated because of a “health exemption” stemming from her “underlying issues” including “blood clots.”
Gunvalson did not return multiple requests for comment.
She also has not addressed the report on her social media.
The coronavirus pandemic has become a hot-button issue for her family in recent months.
The reality star’s son Mike Wolfsmith posted a selfie after he received his vaccine in August and told fans in the comments section of his post that it “broke her heart” that he decided to get jabbed.
Gunvalson’s fiancé, Steve Lodge, also slammed Lisa Vanderpump last month after she announced that her TomTom Restaurant & Bar in West Hollywood would be requiring proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test before guests can enter the venue.
Lodge, who is running for governor of California, said in an Instagram video, “Whatever happened to the right of privacy of your health records? I guess someone forgot to tell them that vaccinated people can also spread and get COVID.”
He said that there were plenty of “other contagious viruses” including the flu, Ebola, hepatitis A and B, rabies and measles and that the former “RHOBH” star made the decision not from “science but rather fear.”
