Vicki Gunvalson may have a lot of issues to bicker about with her friends on the Real Housewives of Orange County, but which fur to wear to the party later in the evening isn’t one of them.

Gunvalson has sworn off fur after being contacted by animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and learning what goes on in the fur industry.

There were dreams every girl aspired to.”
