Tamra Judge Opens Up About Her Baptism and Relationship with Vicki Gunvalson

Oh, things are getting real on The Real Housewives of Orange County, people! Tamra Judge backs up Shannon Beador’s version of events and she lets loose on Vicki Gunvalson in a big way.

First we start with Vicki’s disappearing act at the baptism. Tamra had finally shown up (hair and makeup in working order after being submerged in the pool) and Vicki is fluttering around like a trapped bird as she tries to get away from the other women.

But the ladies swore they wouldn’t bring up Brooks—at least not to Vicki’s face. No, it was Billy, Vicki’s beer-loving brother who brought up the B-word.

“…everyone was OVER IT! It was Billy…that brought up Brooks… I can’t help but think that Vicki put her brother and his girlfriend up it, so they could fight her battles.”

Tamra must have gotten a little religion after that baptism. Preach, girl, preach!

“When Rhonda brought up David’s affair that was a LOW BLOW. Clearly she heard it from Vicki and knew it would get Shannon upset. All season we listen to Vicki claiming that Shannon was NOT a good friend, which none of us could understand.”

I guess Vicki always needs a bad guy so that she can make herself look better. First it was Gretchen, then Tamra. Not that I’m saying Tamra didn’t deserve it, but…Vicki is far from blameless in these situations.

And what about Shannon’s assertion that no one knew about David’s affair except for Vicki? Tamra backs it up:

“So let’s get one thing straight, all season long Vicki knew about David’s affair because Shannon confirmed it to her. The rest of the ladies heard rumors BUT NO ONE KNEW FOR SURE. It wasn’t until right before my Baptism that Shannon told Heather and me.”

The night of the baptism, all of Vicki’s lies started catching up to her. Hence her hasty exit.

“I know you guys didn’t hear all the inconsistent stories that we heard, but you did get to hear this doozy: “Brooks was so sick after chemo that Vicki called Terry Dubrow and he sent over a doctor to administer an IV.” She told that to Briana and to Shannon back in October before we even started filming. So does that mean Vicki knew Brooks was lying about having cancer before we even started filming?”

That’s what we’ve been asking all freaking season! I have a sinking feeling we’re never going to get a straight answer. I say we storm the gates of Bravo—if Bravo has gates. Maybe we should sneak into the Watch What Happens Live clubhouse and rearrange all of Andy Cohen’s knickknacks. That would show him.

I digress. Okay, back to Tamra. She is up to here, you guys, with Vicki calling her a bad friend and a backstabber. (I’m kind of on Vicki’s side with this one.)

“What really upsets me is that Vicki made it her job the past three years to try to make ME out to be the bad guy because I didn’t trust Brooks. She warned every new Housewife to watch out for me and that I was a backstabber and a bad friend. …As far as I am concerned I am not the backstabber or the bad friend Vicki, YOU ARE! There is nothing worse than covering for a man that is lying about something as serious as cancer…”

And then Tamra pulls out this gem and I’m back in her court, at least about this Brooks/cancer debacle.

“By the time of my baptism no one cared if Brooks was lying about cancer or not. What was on everyone’s mind was, “If Brooks is lying then Vicki knows and our friend Vicki is lying to us.” IT WASN’T ABOUT BROOKS ANYMORE, IT WAS ABOUT VICKI!”

Yes, exactly. How long did Vicki know? Was she in on it the entire time? If so, I never want to see her or hear her stupid “whoop it up” mantra again. It seems Tamra is fed up as well.

“All year I was there to support Vicki, even though I thought in the back of mind something didn’t add up. I constantly called and texted checking up on her, even following the filming of the reunion a few weeks ago. But after everything that’’s [sic] happened… I have decided to cut Vicki from my life. I just can’t do this anymore, it’s emotionally exhausting and I don’t trust her… Vicki is out for one person and one person only and that is…VICKI GUNVALSON!”

So there you have it. Will Vicki have the balls to show up next season? Will any of the other ladies even film with her? And what do you think of Tamra’s line in the sand? Is she for real this time?
