The Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson appeared to be flouting lockdown rules in a social media picture that was posted by co-star Tamra Judge on Thursday.
The duo were seen drinking mask-less at a restaurant in New York City, where you have to be vaccinated to dine indoors.
However, Gunvalson, 59, stated earlier this move that she did not get vaccinated because of a ‘health exemption’ stemming from her ‘underlying issues.’
The star and Judge, 54, are currently filming a Housewives spin-off show and appeared to be celebrated by dining indoors, and partying around New York this week.
DailyMail.com was informed this month from a source that the RHOC alum had contracted Covid-19, but the reality star denied this and said that it was just an ‘unknown cold.’

Gunvalson refused to confirm whether she had tested positive for the virus, adding that she has not been vaccinated due to a ‘health exemption’.
‘I have underlying issues, I cannot get the vaccine. I’ve got blood clots, I have a health exemption,’ she added.
The Covid-19 vaccine has been a contentious issue in Gunvalson’s family.

Earlier this month, her fiancé Steve Lodge, who is running for governor of California, posted an angry video on social media after Real Housewives co-star Lisa Vanderpump announced her TomTom restaurant and bar in West Hollywood will require proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test for entry.
‘Whatever happened to the right of privacy of your health records?’ Lodge asked in a video posted August 3.
‘I guess someone forgot to tell them that vaccinated people can also spread and get COVID.’
The 59-year-old revealed she is not vaccinated due to a ‘health exemption’ but admitted it ‘broke her heart’ to learn her son Mike Wolfsmith (pictured) received the Covid-19 shot
Meanwhile, Gunvalson’s son from her first marriage, Mike Wolfsmith, revealed in an August 10 Instagram post that he got vaccinated – much to his mother’s chagrin.
‘What does your mom think about you getting the vaccine? I’ve heard she’s an anti-vaxxer,’ one follower wrote on Instagram, commenting on a picture of Mike getting the shot while wearing a mask.
‘She said ‘it broke her heart’ lol,’ Mike, 35, replied. ‘She has terrible sources of information. Guns, American flags, and invisible sky fairies – the All-American trifecta!’
Wolfsmith, Gunvalson’s son with ex-husband Michael J Wolfsmith, caused a stir on social media earlier in August after taking the opposite stance of his mother and revealing he’s been vaccinated
Replying to another commenter, the 35-year-old said he got the shot ‘because I’m gonna be travelling around and don’t want to be restricted. I almost rode it out! The MAGA Variant ruined it all!’
Gunvalson told DailyMail.com that her son was telling the truth about her reaction.
‘He’s very liberal, my son is. I’m not,’ she said.
Gunvalson, who had starred on RHOC for 14 seasons, announced last January that she was leaving the show
‘It did [break my heart he got the vaccine], because of all the people that are getting sick. It did break my heart.
‘He already had Covid. It doesn’t work.’
Mike declined to comment when contacted by DailyMail.com.
In July, the RHOC star traveled to Hawaii to visit her son, who has spent the last nine months there and recently decided to settle permanently in the Aloha State.
The insurance industry professional posted pictures on Instagram of the two of them on a beach on July 3 with the caption ‘Wore a collared shirt 2 nights in a row for my mom.’
She also commented ‘Date night with my son,’ with a heart and fire emoji.
