Cancer Center Claims They Never Treated RHOC's Brooks Ayers For a Damn Thing
LatestSweet god almighty, I know it seems impossible, but the saga of “the slimy reality star possibly lying to his girlfriend and the nation about having cancer” continues.
This week we’ve seen a triple blow to the cancer claims of Brooks Ayers, the now ex-boyfriend of Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson. All season long Ayers claimed that he was being treated for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at City of Hope, a cancer treatment and research center in southern California.
Turns out that City of Hope is trying to wipe their hands of this man’s bullshit. A hospital representative told E! News that they have no record of ever treating anyone named Brooks Ayers.
Fans of the show will likely be unsurprised by this news. In the final reunion episode, housewife Shannon Beador pretty much proved that Brooks had doctored a PET scan document from a local radiology center.
E! News went a step further and compared real City of Hope invoices to whatever documents Ayers whipped up in Microsoft Paint. (Truly, this is their Benghazi.)
They note that if you image search for “City of Hope logo,” you find a logo with a trademark symbol (like the one that appears on Ayers’ document) which does not appear on the real header.
Perhaps even more damming, they showed that Brooks’ documents (which he displayed in yet another confusing hour-long interview with E!’s Melanie Bromley last week) use completely different language from verified City of Hope invoices and that it’s probably impossible for him to have any of these documents in the first place.Another red flag is that Ayers’ document includes an “Invoice #” of eight digits, while the other patient’s document does not. Instead, it has an eight-digit “Medical Record Number.”
Finally, while Ayers provided us with his medical invoice, which he claims was accessible through the patient portal, a source tells us that invoices and bills are actually not available to patients online.
Almost immediately after this information was released, the other Real Housewives of Orange County stars released statements sharing their thoughts on this bombshell revelation.
“I can’t say I am shocked,” Tamra tells us exclusively. “I’ve always said, ‘If he has cancer I hope he gets better and if he doesn’t…I still hope he gets better.’”
How long do you think Tamra has been working on that line? (Apropos of nothing, Tamra delivers some of the best one-liners of any Real Housewives franchise.)
