Tamra Judge BLASTS ‘RHOC’ Fans For Turning On Her and Saying ‘Nasty, Horrible Things’
Tamra Judge is firing back at Real Housewives of Orange County fans for their harsh criticism, expressing her frustration over the “nasty, horrible things” they’ve been saying about her this season.
Facing Criticism from Fans
Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge is speaking out about the harsh backlash she has received from fans during Season 18, especially following her revelation of being diagnosed with autism. The reality TV personality has been navigating a tumultuous season, with some viewers expressing their discontent over her behavior towards longtime friends Shannon Beador and Jennifer Pedranti.
In a recent appearance on The Weekly Scoop with CJ on Instagram Live, Judge candidly addressed the negativity she’s encountered. “I think the hardest thing is, like, these people are saying such nasty, horrible things and calling me mean,” she stated. “Like, look in the mirror,” the Vena CBD founder added, suggesting that the vitriol directed at her is not only unwarranted but also reflects poorly on those who perpetuate it.

Bravo’s Advice on Handling Hate
Tamra also shared insights on how Bravo has guided her in managing the backlash. “One thing that Bravo told me, they’re like, ‘Don’t even worry about them, like, they’re three percent of our viewers,’” Tamra explained. “Only three percent and they’re the loudest and the meanest.” This perspective seemed to provide her with some reassurance, but she did not shy away from condemning the nature of online discourse.
“I think that Instagram has just gotten to a place that is so gross, the comments to people, talking about people’s weight and their looks… death threats, it’s gross,” she said, underscoring the need for a shift in how individuals engage on social media platforms.
Tamra’s frustrations highlight a broader concern about the toxicity that can emerge within online communities, especially for public figures who are often subjected to intense scrutiny.
Social Media Reactions
Despite Tamra’s assertions, her comments drew criticism from some users on TikTok. Many called her out for seemingly ignoring her own behavior on the show, with one commenter stating, “Hello pot, meet kettle? Like she dumps on her whole cast all season?” Another chimed in with, “You say those things on the show!!! What’s the difference????” These responses suggest a disconnect between Tamra’s experiences of criticism and her own actions as a cast member on RHOC.
A Personal Revelation
Tamra’s Instagram Live appearance comes shortly after she disclosed her autism diagnosis on her podcast, Two T’s In a Pod, with former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp. During the emotional episode, she revealed, “Well, I just did my first therapy session, and let’s just say I found out something pretty big about myself that I didn’t know.”
With tears streaming down her face, she explained, “I am on the spectrum.” This admission, which aligns with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), has generated significant discourse and, unfortunately, criticism from autism activists who questioned her understanding of the condition.
Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder is characterized by a range of symptoms that can affect social interaction and communication. The Mayo Clinic describes it as a condition related to brain development that impacts how individuals perceive and relate to others. In her candid discussion with Mellencamp, Tamra shared her struggles, stating, “My biggest problem is working through trauma, trauma that I had in my life.”
Tamra also noted her challenges with empathy, saying, “I have a hard time with empathy in feeling other people’s feelings.” Her honesty about her difficulties in processing emotions and sensory experiences offers valuable insight into her personal journey, emphasizing the importance of understanding and support for individuals on the spectrum.
As Tamra continues to navigate the complexities of her personal life amid public scrutiny, fans are left to reflect on the deeper issues surrounding mental health and the impact of social media. With the ongoing discussions about her experiences and the challenges faced by public figures, viewers of RHOC can anticipate an emotionally charged season ahead.
