ORANGE COUNTY, Calif., Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Heather Dubrow says Vicki Gunvalson's recent comments about her co-stars have ruined any chance of friendship.

The 46-year-old television personality responded to her 53-year-old co-star's remarks about feeling unsupported on the Reality Checked with Amy Phillips radio show Wednesday.

"You know, as a castmate and someone that I've been friends with for four years, I texted her and said, 'Have fun in New York City, break a leg tonight,'" Dubrow revealed. "She wrote me back, 'Thanks, honey! Oh, I was just at Chanel on 6th Avenue thinking of you! Miss you!'"

"Then she goes on [Watch What Happens Live] and says no one's reached out to her," she said. "And I thought, 'Well, if I was your last hope of having a friend here in this group, that just blew it.'"

Gunvalson claimed her co-stars haven't been there for her during an appearance Monday on Watch What Happens Live. The television personality's mom, Joanne Steinmetz, died in February, and she subsequently split from boyfriend Brooks Ayers in August.

"They still have their mother[s] and they still have their partners," Gunvalson said of her castmates. "I've had two huge losses this year and they're not there for me. That makes me realize that we're just TV friends, I guess. I don't know."

Gunvalson has starred on Bravo series The Real Housewives of Orange County since its premiere in 2006, while Dubrow joined the program in season 7. Gunvalson broke down about her treatment by the other wives on the season 10 finale, and will appear on the reunion episodes Oct. 19 and 26.
