Kill all cancer.....( Vicki is a grifter)

Vicki's new "charity" is called Kill All Cancer, and is more a charity portal than an actual charity. Any donations go to City of Hope. And bet your bottom dollar that, should anyone donate money or sign up for a kill all cancer bracelet, they will be inundated with insurance sales pitches.
The website is www.killallcancer.com and the donate tab reroutes to their Gofundme page.
I went to the gofundme page to comment that their use of the word "transparency " in any relation to Vicki Gunvalson is ridiculous and that I find It offensive that they are calling themselves a charity in the hopes of selling insurance. I encourage others to do the same.
City of Hope is a fine, worthy charity, with a four star rating from Charity Navigator. Anyone wishing to donate should do so directly at www.cityofhope.org

At the beginning of the commercial she says "Every dollar raised goes straight to bringing awareness to charities involved in the fight against cancer"

What does "bringing awareness to charities mean?" Putting a billboard up somewhere with its name? The commercial and the "about us" are both poorly worded.

Good for you! Vicki somehow thinks that doing this transforms her into Mother Teresa overnight.

I can't figure out if Vicki is stupid enough to think the general public believes her BS about having been duped by Brooks, and not involved in his lie. OR...does she think WE ARE stupid enough to believe she was duped and had nothing to do with it?

She's absolutely insane. Whoever told her starting a cancer charity would redeem her reputation is clearly smoking something. I think his makes her look far worse. And what about the deal with her cancer insurance policies? Won't that line her pockets? How is this charitable on her part of she ends up making money off of it?

Had she started a legit charity or volunteered to spend time with cancer patients, then it might help her image. I know I would think a little less ill of her.

But this is obviously a money making scheme and another opportunity to promote her business and she thinks we're too dumb to figure it out!!

It's disgusting and yet another insult to cancer patients. Making money selling cancer insurance to redeem her bad image. There are no words for this vile woman.

I've read that it's in her contract that she can't be fired from the show. She's NeNe, she's Bethenny. But the show needs a makeover very badly, and Vicki needs to go.

Vicki is now proposing Briana as a full time Housewife. Andy Cohen isn't too fond of super ego's- I hope he gets fed up with Vicki. She had some unfavorable editing, so maybe the tide is turning?!

Can you imagine what would happen if Briana became a housewife and they demoted Vicki to a friend. Vicki would turn into a crazy stalker and it would make for a very exciting season.

Heeeeey don't blame marijuana. Crack, maybe, because cocaine usually gives people an elevated sense of self and importance.

"Grifter" - good word !! This only makes me think less of her because it's evident that now she's trying to profit from insurance sales and the unfortunate people whom get such a ravaging disease. Thx for the info about what happens if you go onto the site. I think what is also bothering me is that now she gets the audience from anywhere that this show is broadcast. Wasn't that free advertising via the show? Can she sell insurance out of state? Is this a national thing? Boo on you Vicki.
