Legal Team, with Real Housewives of Orange County back on air, we’re turning our attention to the OG from the OC, Vicki Gunvalson, and the financial elder abuse lawsuit she’s now facing. The case, which Vicki now says she wants to take to trial, involves claims of financial elder abuse tied to annuity and life insurance sales, raising serious questions about what was promised, what was delivered, and what the law says about protecting vulnerable adults. We break down Vicki’s background in insurance, what the plaintiff alleges, how annuities work, and why this case has Reddit and Us Weekly buzzing.
