Brooks Ayers On Twitter: 'I Will No Longer Address Claims Made By Or Against Me'

After proclaiming reality television destroys lives with manufactured drama, Ayers, the former boyfriend of Vicki Gunvalson, was faced with questions online about his decision to film the show, which he quickly explained.

@cheekymonky73 I was "coerced" to film because I was dating Vicki. They would've reduced her role if I didn't film. Hindsight is 20/20.
