Gunvalson’s former RHOC co-stars Jo De La Rosa, Lauri Peterson, Gretchen Rossi, and Alexis Bellino presented her with the award. In her acceptance speech, Gunvalson thanked Bravo, her fellow Housewives from all cities, and the fans.

Gunvalson also thanked Andy Cohen “for seeing something in me that I didn’t see in myself.” She went on to quote some of her most iconic moments from her RHOC tenure, and ended the speech by giving Cohen an orange, “just in case you’re looking for an extra one to give to somebody.”
