VIDEO PHOTOS Brooks Ayers’ ex Nicolette Catanzarite

As we reported earlier, Vicki Gunvalson’s boyfriend Brooks Ayers was the subject of a 20/20 report last week featuring Nicolette Catanzarite, the mother of his three-year-old son, calling him out for being a deadbeat dad. The 41-year-old hair salon owner from Carmel, Indiana pulls no punches as she unleashes on Brooks for not only skipping out when their son was only 5 months old and sticking her with the hospital bill and no child support, but for then having the audacity to participate in a reality show flaunting his wealth and his family values!

Here is how 20/20 set up the piece followed by the actual video report:

So here’s a tip from the Cheating: 101 Handbook, if some people are calling you a deadbeat dad, thousands of dollars behind in child support, don’t go on national television to show the world how you’re rolling in the big bucks. Sound too brazen to be true? Well then you haven’t been watching the Real Housewives!

The clip featured a couple photos of Brooks Ayers and Nicolette Catanzarite together, and here are a couple additional photos from her Facebook page, including this wonderful shot of Nocolette and their son Joey:

Oh, and here’s Nicolette showing off both her seething resentment as well as her sense of humor, posing with the book, Dear Assh0le: 101 Tear-Out Letters to the Morons Who Muck Up Your Life

I’m not sure of the context of this next one, but Nicolette is rockin’ that swimsuit!

And speaking of her Facebook page, you can still read Nicolette’s shocked response after watching Brooks on The Real Housewives of Orange County for the first time:

Well Brooks disappeared how weird, he disappeared on me and his young child with no support money no insurance nothing. Seems he has mentioned he is all caught up…and that he has a great relationship with all his kids? Maybe the ones from his wife of 20 years in Mississippi but could give two sh!ts about my little guy! He’s a deadbeat and even worse a liar! Vicki, he isn’t caught up at all I have all supporting docs, more than any if you know! Yes I got cards everyday also and they said the same thing they say to you “Vicki” sorry but the truth us what will set you free and the truth should make real deadbeat dad pay all the arrearage for our son and not pretend or care if his existence! Scorned? No but Vicki I am a Mother and like you said last night ” you’ll fight for your child” well so will I!

Nicolette went into a little further detail than what’s included in the clip above, describing how Brooks began to change shortly after their son was born. Within two or three weeks I started seeing kind of a different behavior from him,” she recalls. “He was obsessive, angry, moody and controlling with me. It was very strange.”

That’s when Nicolette began noticing Brooks lies, including once falsely claiming he had been diagnosed with nose cancer. It was about this time he stopped providing much of any financial assistance.

“Our electric bill was getting shut off, my phone was getting shut off and I didn’t know he hadn’t been paying the rent on the house,” Nicolette says. “He would always make up excuses and say the judge has held the escrow account and they’ve locked all their funds until the divorce was final.”

And then, POOF! He was gone. All Nicolette had was a P.O. box number (and an infant child). The next time she saw Brooks it was on The Real Housewives of Orange County.

After suing Brooks in 2010, an agreement was reached in which he agreed to pay $700 a month in child support, in addition to paying the $2,500 he already owed. Nicolette has seen almost none of that money, despite Brooks flaunting his brand new $15,000 teeth and ~~buying~~ renting ~~girlfriend~~ sugar momma Vicki Gunvalson a mink fur coat.

A fan called Brooks out about the fur coat and teeth on on Twitter by writing, “Wow a beautiful woman like Vickie has to “BUY” you “TEETH”? THEN YOU BUY HER A FUR, COME ON NOW. VICKS DAUGHTER WAS RIGHT…”

To which Brooks responded with the tweet, “I paid for my teeth and the fur with my own money. Have a great night and thanks for watching us!”

I think I’m going to start calling Brooks “Tanker,” because he loves driving around to all parts of the country filling up love tanks! But, perhaps we should all take a page out of Brooks’ 49¢ greeting card guide to life and cut him some slack. After all, To Ayers is human, to forgive divine! (I’m totally not serious about cutting Brooks some slack – I just wanted to make that play on words!)

Brooks Ayers and Vicki Gunvalson were still together as recently as June 11, but Vicki hasn’t been seen or heard from much since the 20/20 special. The Reunion Show has already been recorded, so it probably won’t come up on there, although I’ve got $5 that says Tamra Barney storms off and gives Nicolette a call while the cameras are rolling

UPDATE - Vicki made the following post on her Facebook wall on Monday, which seems to indicate some sort of statement abtout the Brooks Ayers 20/20 report is forthcoming:

I look at the iconic women who’ve had trials and tribulations in their lives, and “I don’t pretend to be an ordinary housewife” from Elizabeth Taylor comes to mind. I’ll address my fans soon enough and appreciate all your positive thoughts and comments. Love~Vicki

Vicki is a really selfish person. Her selfishness has caused blindness. She will look like a fool at the end of this.

  I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START EXCEPT TO SAY THAT VICKI MAKES ME SICK! SHE REALLY SHOWED HOW MUCH OF A HYPOCRITE SHE IS. EVERYONE KNOWS SHE HAS PUT SLADE AND GRETCHEN THROUGH HELL FOR YEARS ABOUT WHAT A P.O.S HE IS REGARDING CHILD SUPPORT ECT. AND SLADE LOOKS LIKE WARD CLEAVER COMPARED TO BROOKS! I CANT BELIEVE (the non stupid Vicki) IS THIS HARD UP FOR SOMEONE TO CARE ABOUT HER! I MEAN FIRST LOOK AT THIS NICOLETTE GAL…. AND HE IS WITH VICKI? YEAH RIGHT! THE SIMPLE FACT STARRING VICKI IN THE FACE IS SHE IS CHOPPED PORK AND NICOLETTE IS ( well you get the comparison). THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST HUGE RED FLAG ” A SMART WOMAN WOULD REALIZE! THEN TO TOP IT OFF HE’S A LIAR BIG TIME, A TERRIBLY UNATTRACTIVE MAN ( which leads me to believe he filled Nicolette with big money talk to hook her. Besides getting her pregnant) BUT I THINK HE TRULY IN A PREDITOR INEVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. A TRUE THEIF AND DISHONEST LOSER FEEDING OFF OF ANY OPPORTUNITY THAT’S OUT THERE! OH YES, HE SAID IN HIS TWEET. HE PAID FOR HIS TEETH? NO HE DIDN’T. VICKI DID ( the toothless wonder tells lies even when they are blatantly provable) TO BE HONEST HE IS EITHER THE MOST STUPID HICK TO THINK HIS PAST WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY BE UNCOVERED WHEN HE SPLASHES ON THE NATIONAL TV SCENE ! OR he is such a NARCICIST THAT IT DOESN’T REGISTER WITH HIM! EITHER WAY. HE’S USING VICKI AND SHE DESERVES IT IN MY OPINION. SHE’S A HORRIBLE PERSON IN HER OWN RIGHT. WOW THAT KARMA IS A B!TCH! ISNT IT? THE IRONY IN ALL OF THIS COULDNT BE MORE PERFECT. ALL THOSE TIMES VICKI LOOKED DOWN HER NOSE AND DEGRADED SLADE AND SHE ENDS UP WITH THE NATIONAL POSTER BOY FOR DEADBEAT DADS! IT ACTUALLY IS FUNNY TO ME ! BUT MR TOOTHLESS WONDER MIGHT BETTER TAKE IT BACK TO MISSISSIPPI AND TRY TAKING CARE OF THE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HE SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF INSTEAD OF SPENDING ALL OF VICKS MONEY! OVER EDITING MY BEHIND! CAMERAS DON’T LIE AND HE IS LIKE A SALIVATING WILD HOG WAITING ON HIS NEXT MEAL WHEN HE’S ON CAMERA! I HAVE TO MAKE ONE MORE COMMENT: WHEN HE WAS DEFENDING VICKI OVER THE EVIL EYE THING. WHICH REALLY WAS A JOKE. HE KEPT SAYING OVER AND OVER AND OVERRRRR. I’LL DEFEND MY WOMAN AND TELLING HEATHER ” REALLY HEATHER ? NOT NOW ….. BUTTING IN TO VICKI’S MOMENT AND VICKI JUST IGNORED HIM AND DID WHAT HEATHER ASKED! IT MADE HIM LOOK LIKE A BIIGER FOOL THAN HE ALREADY LOOKED LIKE! I COULD GO ON FOREVER. BUT ALL I CAN SAY IS TWO PEOPLE THAT DESERVE EACH OTHER AND TO VICKI. PRE-NUP!!!!!! I was hoping one of the shows would have been DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER DRAGGING BROOKS BACK TO MISSISSIPPI TO FACE ALL HIS LEGAL WOES OH WAIT! HE HAS NO HAIR !! NO HAIR NO LOOKS NO MONEY NO CLASS NO MORALS ! WHAT A CATCH!!!!!!

If people doubt the truthfulness of Nicolette’s claim, they need only look at the child. The little boy looks just like Babbling Brooks!
Brooksie has chutzpah to the nth degree. He wooed a young single mother, promised her the moon, lied to her and skipped out on their love child. Correction: it was her love child and his inconvenience. He’s a master manipulator. YET, he had the audacity to go on national television and flaunt his alleged bucks on new teeth and a fur coat for another victim of his scamming. He’s a scuzzball.

I don’t doubt that the fur was rented, but how do we know? I feel like I missed an article or missed something on the show.

That said, any woman who puts a relatively new man above friends or family is crazy. If everyone in your life who loves you is crying for you to open your eyes, I think you should consider it. She’s got her head buried in the sand unwilling to even hear what everyone is saying to her. This is not the amazing man she think she is. He’s brought out the worse in her. I’ve never seen Vicky scream and yell as I have on this season. Man…I miss Don.

Brooks better enjoy it while he can because eventually he will reap what he sows.
whoa

Vicki makes me sick. She said mean and horrible things to Slade over the years about his child support situation, but acts as if Brooks did nothing. She was horrible to her last husband and I bet he is thanking his lucky stars he got out when he did because the woman is a nutjob.

Brooks sure knows how to charm these self-made women. I think he is seperating Vicki from her family and friends, blowing sunshine up her love tank and trying to make the sugar mama his purse. He’s not a “good man”, he’s a liar and a con man. If he can’t properly love his own children, how is he ever going to be a good husband to anyone. Watch your purse Vicki, he’s after that more than you. Your real man was Donn. He took care of your children as his own. Now THAT’s a REAL man.

  I agree. Vicki went from a substantial man to Pinocchio with a drawl. Brokes has the “EVUL AHYE”. They make the most repulsive couple in America.

I think Vicki is attracted to deadbeat dads who are alcoholic losers. Must be her type.

Poor poor pitiful Vicki…. She is so desperate to be loved that she drew a man like Brookes Ayers to her. The episode where he “gave me a fur” was pathetic and revealed how shallow she is as well. As if receiving a fur coat means anything at all…. he has her number and is playing her like a fiddle. Her own daughter, who she presumably loves and respects tried to open her eyes and she just became combative. In fact, she screams at anyone that speaks up about Brookes. The threat to her fantasy is simply too much for her to bear. When she finally wakes up she will realize she is living a nightmare.

  You’re right. I’m amazed that Vicki is so consumed by Crooks. He’s hardly a heart throb. He’s a homely, short, bald, boring, unintelligible, hillbilly. Her standards must be set very low.
luvrumcake

You give up Don for this looser….a man who would take care of your children from a previous marriage…what were you thinking Vicky…I’m sure this story put to rest a lot of agony for Don.
M.E.S.

An older woman being taken in by a smooth talking con man and shes paying his way? Hmmm, why does that sound so familiar?
Sheri

This woman is BEAUTIFUL compared to horrible skinned Vicki!! It’s obvious all this POS wants is her money & from what I’ve heard, he’s already able to write checks off her account. I hope Vicki’s got a crap load of money because she’s got 15 years of child support to look forward to paying!
M.E.S.

Beautiful? LOL! Looks like she got the same botched lip job as Lisa Rinna! But even this bimbo Nicolette was able to get her 15 minutes of fame so whats taking you so long? Oh right, nobody cares what you have to say.
M.E.S.

Also, the pock marked skin comments are totally played out already. That the best you got? time for some new insults.

In my opinion, Nicolette should have used birth control instead of trying to trap Brooks. Although Brooks is slimy,if Vicky wants to support him, why is it anyone’s business if she does?
Carriemomof314618

How can she trap a man who LIED by telling her he had a vasectomy!?!? Get the facts before assuming. He probably thought, for some reason, that Nicolette had money & by getting her pregnant would get him some of her money & obviously found out she didn’t have any, so he moved onto the next! Now, he could care less about the life he created with her & he’ll get his in time. Can you imagine the poor woman who trusted him, thinking he was fixed!?!? RIDICULOUS!!
