Vicki Gunvalson is calling out fellow “Housewife” Sonja Morgan for being cheap.

“She shouldn’t go out for dinner if she can’t afford it,” the “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum, 63, said when she was a guest on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live” Friday.

Gunvalson — who has successfully run her own company, Coto Insurance and Financial Services, for years — added, “I don’t expect anybody to comp my dinner.”

“If they want to, that’s their option. I would never expect it,” the reality star added.

Page Six exclusively reported earlier this week that Morgan, 61, had become “hysterical” at New York City hotspot Tucci last weekend while refusing to pay her $1,000 restaurant bill.

“She was like, ‘I don’t pay; people pay me [to go to their restaurants].’ She was absolutely entitled and caused a scene about not paying,” a source claimed to us at the time.

“RHOC” star Shannon Beador, seemingly trying to give Morgan the benefit of the doubt, said on “Jeff Lewis Live,” “[Has] Sonja responded? Did she make a comment?”

Jeff Lewis and his co-hosts then informed Beador, 61, that since the snafu, the “Real Housewives of New York City” alum had indeed paid the restaurant and left a “generous tip.”

“Well, that was what she needed to do and then you never go back to that restaurant,” Gunvalson said.

Max Tucci, the owner of the popular Italian eatery, then called into the radio show to give more details about what occurred. He joked that he was contemplating debuting a new cocktail called “Sonja non grata.” (“Non grata” is Latin for not welcome).

The businessman also explained that he and Morgan had been “neighborly” with each other since last year, and that he once told her, “Come in, it’s on me” when she visited his restaurant.

However, Tucci claimed, “After that, she always thought she was going to come for free.”

Leading up to the recent incident, the Tucci NYC owner said he “specifically sent her a text” saying, “I am out of town … but I will send you something from me.” However, there was no mention of a comped bill.

He then claimed Morgan “started a scene when she got there” and arrived with two more guests than initially planned, confirming details from Page Six’s initial report.

Tucci added that the “Welcome to Crappie Lake” alum allegedly shouted at his staff, “I’m a celebrity. I don’t pay. Why did you give me a bill?” As a result, she has been banned.

Gunvalson further bashed Morgan in response to what Tucci shared, adding, “Oh God, disrespectful.”

The “RHONY” alum appears to be going through a difficult time, as she also had a dramatic exit from a Palm Beach, Fla., restaurant on Thursday evening.

Morgan, who was seen in video from the incident acting emotional and rambunctious, was escorted out of Echo Palm Beach in an ambulance and police reportedly issued her a trespass warning.

However, the “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” alum told Page Six that she was OK and just trying to help “an elderly lady who fell.”
