The reality TV star, who had appeared as a guest on Viall’s Viall Files, carelessly left her Zoom call on after the interview ended, unleashing a brutally honest tirade about the show and its host.

As she relaxed after her guest spot, Gunvalson showed zero filter, dismissing Viall’s podcast as if it were some unimportant chore. “That was a favor to her dad,” she muttered, hinting at a mysterious benefactor. “He’s got seven million views,” she added as if that somehow explained her reluctant participation.

Then came the real bombshell: Gunvalson trashed Viall, the former Bachelor, with an almost palpable lack of enthusiasm. “I was a guest on his show,” she said flatly. “He’s got his own network, his own show, his own thing. I’ve never heard of him.” And, of course, she mispronounced his last name as “Nick Vialls,” clearly signaling just how little she cared about the guy.

As if that wasn’t enough, Gunvalson and her boyfriend Michael Smith continued chatting about their vacation plans, blissfully unaware that their conversation was still being streamed to the podcast crew.

Natalie Joy, Viall’s wife and co-host, was left speechless and rattled by the entire exchange. “I just started sweating so incredibly bad. I’m not going to lie,” she admitted. “She is an icon,” Joy continued, barely able to hide her anxiety. “I was waiting for her to come back and be like, ‘Oh my God!’”

Viall, always the pro, took the whole situation in stride, joking, “There’s no breath [in me],” and even thanked Gunvalson for the unexpected entertainment before moving on.

However, the bigger picture here is clear: Gunvalson made it abundantly obvious she had no interest in being part of the podcast. She repeatedly told Viall and his team she was only doing them a “favor,” snapping, “You owe me,” and emphasizing how busy she was. “I’m very, very busy,” she added, as though her appearance was some huge inconvenience.

Ultimately, Gunvalson’s hot-mic slip serves as a harsh reminder of the brutal world of reality TV, where even the most off-hand comments can spiral into viral moments. While Viall may have laughed it off, Gunvalson’s ungracious behavior is something she’ll struggle to live down.
