Vicki Gunvalson got caught trashing Nick Viall and his podcast in a hot-mic moment following her appearance on the show.

The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star could be heard talking off-camera following her interview on Tuesday’s episode of the “Viall Files” podcast, not realizing she forgot to end the Zoom call.

“That was a favor to her dad,” the Bravolebrity — who recorded her interview while on vacation in Mexico with her boyfriend Michael Smith — could be heard saying, shocking the rest of the co-hosts still listening in. “He’s got seven million views.”

It’s unclear whom Gunvalson was doing a favor for.

The reality star was heard speaking to Smith off-camera as she explained Viall’s credentials.

“I was a guest on his show,” she said. “He’s got his own network, his own show, his own thing. I’ve never heard of him.”

She went on to mispronounce Viall’s last name, referring to the “Bachelor” star as “Nick Vialls.”

The couple went on to discuss their vacation as the call finally ended.

Viall’s wife, Natalie Joy, who joined the crew of hosts for Tuesday’s episode, reacted to Gunvalson’s hot-mic moment telling the room that she was “at a loss for words.”

“I just started sweating so incredibly bad. I’m not going to lie,” she said. “She is an icon.”

Joy continued, “I am not OK. That gave me really bad anxiety. I was waiting for her to clock back in and be like, ‘Oh my God!’”

Viall was a good sport about the entire ordeal. He reacted to hearing Gunvalson’s unfiltered thoughts regarding him and his show saying, “There’s no breath [in me].”

Gunvalson made it clear early on in the interview that she didn’t want to be there and told the group during the interview that she was doing them a favor, so they “owe [her].”

“Because I canceled [the interview] and I didn’t know that they didn’t cancel it and I’ve got my 400 meetings today. So, yeah, you owe me,” she said.

“Because I’m doing this and I didn’t want to be doing this, I’m very, very busy,” she said, adding that she wound up “making it work” because “there was a disconnect” on her staff’s end.
