The Real Housewives of Orange County just hit a major milestone:19 years since the show premiered.
Bravo boss Andy Cohen took to social media to celebrate the special moment and so did the OG of the OC, Vicki Gunvalson.
Vicki posted a throwback photo of the Season 1 cast, which included Jeana Keough, Lauri Peterson, Jo De La Rosa, and Kimberly Bryant.
Meanwhile, fans of the show are celebrating as well and putting some respect on Vicki’s name.
We even spotted some current cast members in the comment section thanking the OG for paving the way.
Sadly, we won’t see Vicki on the show’s 19th season, which is currently filming.
She appeared alongside her friend and current cast member Shannon Beador in Season 18.
However, earlier this year, the 62-year-old revealed that she would not be on the show but would be cheering Shannon on from the sidelines.
