Real Housewives of Orange County's Vicki Gunvalson probably isn't shouting out her trademark "Woohoo!" very much right now.
Earlier this week, she filed for divorce from husband Donn after 16 years together. "We tried," Vicki, 48, told UsMagazine.com. "It's just too hard on both of us."
Her castmate Gretchen Rossi gave Us an update at a Bartel's Harley Davidson event in Marina Del Rey, Calif. Thursday.
"I was truly sorry to hear the news," Rossi told Us. "She's been having a really tough couple of days."
Rossi sent her pal a text message support after the announcement. "I've talked to a few people in the inner circle and it's a bad situation for her right now."

The reality star isn't sure what happened between the couple, who renewed their vows in July 2009. "It kind of took us all by surprise, because from what I knew...things were going well, so I don't really know what happened. It's very sad."
Following the announcement, Vicki told Us the split was "amicable."

She and Donn don't have kids, but her two grown kids from her first married, Michael and Brianna, lived with them both. Vicki also addressed the split on her official Facebook page.
"Donn has been an important part of my life and he will continue to be," she wrote.
Tell Us What You Think
10I'm not a Vicki fan at all. How the hell does anyone put up with that freakin NUT job is beyond me. The way she treats people is absolutely disgusting...and then denies her behavior and wants to play victim. Her wallet was more important to her than anything else. Donn will find someone else, but her....i seriously doubt it! A person like her deserves to be alone with their wallet!!
Vicki was always my favorite on RHOC.
oh no! my heart goes out to her! I think she is an amazing woman, and it's sad to see her marriage break apart
I hope Donn takes Vicki for every piece of community property he can get and then some for the emotional and mental abuse she dolled out time after time. No one would put up with how she treated him as long as he did with her not inviting him on family vacations because he "wasn't part of her family with her kids"; making sure everyone else knew she was buying gifts for herself because she was the bread winner and not Donn. Vicki I hope to high heavens you some day get the therapy you need and get your values in life fixed that lets you treat others you supposedly love with respect some day.
Hey! Is your JACKAL of a boyfriend paying child support to his 2 kids from 2 different women & his one kid is terminally ill???? Like YOU, he's a LOSER, meant 4 each other, I guess!!!!!!
Oh please - Vicki is the problem, period.
if you don't know what happened....then don't say anything and quit trying to get press from someones hard times!
"I want the power and the money and I want them both!" Those words were straight from Vicki's mouth. I have NEVER been a fan of hers. Personally, I think she tries to hide who she truly is. But it still leaks through her pores. Vicki is a b itch. Nothing more, nothing less. I do NOT care how much money she has in the bank, she still has to treat people with respect. I hope her husband hits her right where it hurts her the most.....her wallet.
