RHOC alum Vicki Gunvalson denies claims from 74-year-old woman over financial elder abuse and fraud

Vicki Gunvalson, of “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” “vehemently denies” the recent allegations of financial and elder abuse made against her in a lawsuit filed by Diane Field.

An attorney for the "RHOC" alum stated to Page Six that the reality TV star is "outraged by the false allegations being made against her" in Field’s lawsuit, asserting that Gunvalson “followed the direction of her client” by “placing the insurance products Ms. Field requested regarding the annuities and the life insurance policy.”

“Victoria Gunvalson is a well-respected insurance broker with more than 34 years of experience. She has helped thousands of clients. Ms. Gunvalson vehemently denies each and every allegation of Diane Field’s Complaint against Ms. Gunvalson and Coto Insurance Services,” the statement reads.

“Ms. Gunvalson did not engage in any conduct that could be considered financial elder abuse, breach of fiduciary duty, or fraud. Victoria Gunvalson remains committed to the highest standards of integrity and transparency.”

“Needless to say, we are outraged by the false allegations being made against her. We will vigorously defend her good name and reputation in this lawsuit,” Gunvalson’s attorney concluded.

In the lawsuit filed by Field and obtained by Page Six on Wednesday, Field alleges that Gunvalson and her business partner Ali Hashemian exploited the 74-year-old with their "fraudulent sales tactics."

Field, who, along with her late husband George Field, had a combined net worth of $6 million from investments in stocks and funds she inherited from her mother in 2002, claims she first met Gunvalson at a dinner hosted by the Bravolebrity’s Coto Insurance and Financial Services in 2016.

According to Field, Gunvalson showed an interest in her wealth at the dinner, promising a "safer diversified plan" that would “help lower the taxes she had been paying” and increase “future/potential financial capital for her children.”
