Tamra Judge BLASTS Vicki Gunvalson, Says She ‘Crossed a Line’ and ‘Trashed Her’ Off Season

Tamra Judge BLASTS Vicki Gunvalson, Says She ‘Crossed a Line’ and ‘Trashed Her’ Off Season

Tamra Judge has shed light on behind-the-scenes drama from a recent Real Housewives of Orange County dinner party, revealing what viewers didn’t see and voicing her frustrations with several co-stars.

Appearing on Page Six’s Virtual Reality-Tea podcast on August 16, Tamra offered new insights into the heated clash with Shannon Beador and the fallout with other cast members.

Tamra, 56, discussed how Shannon, 60, had actually initiated the conflict at the dinner party, contrary to what aired on television.

“What you didn’t see is she actually came for me first, and Alexis. I can’t remember verbatim what she said, but she kind of came after me, and then she mom-shamed Alexis, and that’s what led to Alexis yelling about the John stuff. So there’s stuff that’s missing,” Tamra explained. This revelation suggests that the broadcast may have omitted crucial details that contributed to the altercation between Shannon and Alexis Bellino, 47.

Tamra also addressed a deleted scene involving Vicki Gunvalson, 62. She recalled a conversation where Vicki concurred with her assessment of Shannon’s drinking habits.

“There was also a scene where I was talking to Vicki, and Vicki agreed that Shannon has a drinking problem. She agreed with me. She’s like, ‘Yes, I know she’s got a drinking problem,’” Tamra revealed. This acknowledgment from Vicki, which was not shown on the show, adds another layer to the ongoing discussion about Shannon’s behavior.

In a surprising turn, Tamra revealed that her current tensions with Vicki caught her off guard. “Vicki and I have not had a problem. We were cool then. We were cool filming all season long, and then as soon as the season stopped, she has been non-stop trashing me,” Tamra shared.

She speculated that Vicki’s criticism stemmed from her perceived lesser role on the show. “She can’t even get a clementine, let alone an orange. I think we need to give her a grapefruit she’s so sour,” Tamra added.

Tamra further accused Vicki of crossing boundaries during a live event. “She had the audience chant — I’ll say it the clean way — ‘F Tamra’ over and over again,” Tamra said. “And I just thought, ‘You know what? I haven’t had any fights with you. I’ve been friends with you for a long time even if you’re not happy with me because I’m not enabling Shannon, I’ve never done anything to you, Vicki, and that shows your true character.’”

Despite the confrontation, Tamra indicated she prefers not to engage in further disputes with Vicki publicly.

In the same podcast episode, Tamra also criticized Shannon’s friendships with Emily Simpson, 48, and Gina Kirschenheiter, 40. She suggested that Shannon’s conflicts with others on the show were being conveniently overlooked. “Shannon has fought with everybody on the show,” Tamra stated.

“She’s no innocent bystander.” She accused Emily and Gina of offering “empathy” to Shannon despite knowing her drinking problems. “They know she’s got a drinking problem and they know, like, it was just last reunion that Gina was yelling at her and saying, ‘You need to go to rehab,’” Tamra confirmed.

Tamra also expressed her belief that Alexis Bellino’s presence on the show has shifted attention away from Shannon’s legal issues. “Because Alexis has come on the show, her drinking and her DUI have been swept under the rug,” Tamra said.

“The only person I know that can crash her car into a house three times the legal limit and leave, get out of her car and walk with a broken nose, broken arm, covered in blood, and tell the cops she was walking her dog — and continue to drink.”

She added that Shannon should be grateful to Alexis for diverting focus from her own controversies. “So I think that she owes Alexis an apology. She should be so happy that Alexis is taking the heat off of her for the DUI.”

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 continues to air Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo, offering viewers more drama and revelations from the cast.
