The
Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson’s ex Brooks Ayers
has faced criticism and doubt all season long about his health. Now,
he's speaking exclusively to ET about claims he’s been faking his
cancer. "I have cancer," Ayers told ET on Monday.
According
to Ayers, he was diagnosed with Stage 3 Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a form
of blood cancer, and will be back in the Los Angeles area at the
beginning of October for another round of treatments.
But this hasn’t
stopped the other RHOC cast members from accusing him of faking his
illness.
"I
think they do it to create drama -- manufactured drama and that's sad
to me," said Ayers, who insists that his diagnosis is real. ET has spoken to many of the Housewives throughout the season and they weighed in on the big controversy.
"There's
a lot of questions that come up," Meghan King Edmonds said. "I'm not
the only one [who] has questions about it ... I have major, major
questions."
“I
think that the entire situation will definitely be tried by the court
of public opinion, and things come out that are so bizarre,” Heather
Dubrow added.
Ayers
says that just because he has cancer doesn't mean that he should be
"lying around in a hospice bed," and he is not letting any negativity
get him down. He says he's seen improvements in his health lately.
The
reality star is reportedly being treated by a physician who had the
same disease 11 years ago and he told ET that since he's started taking
supplements and doing IV therapy that his "numbers were normalized."
"My lesion, my inflammations were gone. Gone!" Ayers said. "So I'm encouraged."
ET has reached out to Bravo for comment.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Mondays on Bravo.
