Gunvalson (born Steinmetz) plans on ‘donating all the bedding and most of the furniture to an orphanage’ before ‘putting to work some painters and a decorator to make this home “Vicki.”‘
Vicki – who also owns a home in Coto de Caza, California – realized it wasn’t the most woke post in the midst of nationwide racial unrest and the global coronavirus pandemic.
‘I know some of you may think it’s wrong, especially in the state of the world,’ the Coto Insurance owner wrote.
‘But for me it immediately gives me hope and peace that things will resume to a new sense of normal soon…Thank you to all who support my decision as it wasn’t an easy one to go through with it. Those who don’t, keep your mean comments to yourself.’
