Vicki Gunvalson opens up about being granted a special business award

Vicki Gunvalson just opened up about receiving a special award for her work with COTO Insurance and Steve was there with her.

Vicki Gunvalson has always prided herself on being a successful business owner. During the earlier seasons of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Vicki revealed that she was one of the only housewives on the show that worked and she was proud of that. She has always identified herself on her work and she’s proud of everything that she has accomplished. This was before the financial crisis of 2009, so many of the ladies had to go get jobs or start companies at a later time.

However, it sounds like Vicki Gunvalson is proud of everything she has accomplished. Unlike other Real Housewives of Orange County stars, Vicki started this business before the show came along. She was working from her home when the show began in a small home office, and now she has a huge office and the business has grown tremendously. It has been 13 years and Vicki seems shocked at how well the business has done.

The award she received was the Patriot Award from the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR). This is a program that is run by the United States Department of Defense. When she accepted the award, Steve Lodge stood proudly by her side.

Vicki Gunvalson has been vocal about her business success, revealing that the business took a hit after the Brooks Ayers cancer scandal. However, she was determined to not let him win and she worked hard to get the business back on track. But that’s not what she will be discussing once the show returns next month. Instead, fans may be wondering what she did to her face, as it looks like she got surgery.
