  • Shannon Beador Says She Knows Identity of Mystery Blogger on RHOC Finale as Jeff Lewis Reacts and Denies It’s Him

    Shannon Beador addressed her mysterious phone call with the anonymous source who accused Tamra Judge of leaking storylines to bloggers. Jeff Lewis then reacted, and he denied that he was the caller.

    In the season finale of the Real Housewives of Orange County, an unnamed man spoke with Shannon, Gina Kirschenheiter, and Jennifer Pedranti. The man revealed pivotal storylines involving Tamra (which, according to Andy Cohen, he wouldn’t have heard unless Tamra or Gina leaked it). After the finale aired, some fans speculated that the caller sounded like Jeff, who’s friends with both Tamra and Shannon.

    On Jeff Lewis Live, a fan asked Shannon about the mysterious caller in the season finale.

    “They distorted his voice, which I understand. But, Jeff, I wish they would have [shared] at the bottom — to protect his identity — [that we] changed his voice,” said Shannon, via @itsabravoworld on Instagram.

    “So you all know who it is,” said Jeff.

    “People were saying it was you,” said Shannon.

    “But it wasn’t me,” said Jeff. “But you know who it is?”

    “I know the person’s name, because I spoke [to him],” she said.

    “Oh, but we don’t know them?” asked Jeff. “I wouldn’t know him?”

    “No,” said Shannon. “It’s just a civilian.”

    “Somebody trying to get famous,” Jeff responded.

    “No, you guys,” said Shannon. “I don’t think he is trying to be famous, or else he would have said, ‘I’ll come and film or I’ll come to your reunion.’ I don’t think that’s the case … He didn’t want to be discovered, but he knew some information, [and] it was like, whoa.”

    At the reunion, Shannon said that, according to the caller, Tamra feeds storylines to content creators who then protect her on social media.

    In March 2025, another source addressed the situation in an interview with In Touch.

    “Tamra Judge has been cited as being the No. 1 source for production leaks to the media and attempting to get bloggers and reporters to write defamatory and damaging stories about her castmates. She then goes and accuses others of doing it,” the source claimed at the time. “Chances are if Tamra is pointing her finger at you about something, it’s because she is trying to deflect from the fact that she is the one behind the scenes actually doing it … [She] keeps a folder on each member of the cast and she has spent hours researching the internet looking for negative news that she can use against the cast during production.”

  • RHOC Star Drops F-Bomb While Talking Getting Fired From Reality Series

    Tamra Judge didn’t hold back when she described how she learned she was being fired from RHOC. While Vicki Gunvalson recalled being stunned and in tears after getting a call about her own exit, Judge says she answered with a blunt, four-letter response. The moment has since been replayed as one of the most real ones in The Real Housewives of Orange County history.

    Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson talk about getting fired from RHOC

    The two RHOC castmates recently collaborated for an episode of Vicki Gunvalson’s podcast, where she told listeners that she learned her contract would not be renewed after Season 14 in 2019. She said the call came while she was at an insurance conference in Las Vegas with then-fiancé Steve Lodge.

    “It was horrible,” Gunvalson said on the My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast, and recalled standing on a balcony and crying. “I think I just got fired, but I think they have the wrong number,” she added, describing her shock.

    Meanwhile, Tamra Judge, who was also fired before RHOC Season 15 in early 2020, described a very different reaction. She said she had expected a meeting about her future, only to get a call that producers “decided to go in another direction.” In her telling, Judge did not hide her anger. “And you know what I said? ‘Go f— yourself,’” she said.

    Both RHOC alumnae have reflected on how sudden and painful the news felt at the time. However, Gunvalson, one of the franchise’s original stars, has since returned to RHOC as a full-time cast member. This move seemingly closes a long chapter and shifts the story back toward the series’ early roots.

    Judge previously addressed her firing before Season 15 during a panel at BravoCon 2022. “I was like, ‘Oh s—.’ Like, really? This is happening?’” Judge stated. “I got to a state where, the first year, I was in a fetal position crying. I was very sad about not being on the scene, everybody filming, and all that stuff.” (via People)

    Notably, Tamra Judge also returned to the show in Season 17. Moreover, her return has reignited one of the key rivalries of Bravo history: her feud with Gretchen Rossi.

  • RHOC’s Tamra Judge Shares DM With Crystal Over Claim Vicki Stole a Costar’s Orange, Plus Addresses Rumors of Heather’s Exit, Shannon Fallout, and Season 20 “New Blood”

    Credit: Instagram

    Tamra Judge reacted to Crystal Kung-Minkoff claiming Vicki Gunvalson stole an orange from another Real Housewives of Orange County star on Vicki’s podcast on Tuesday.

    While also shading Gretchen Rossi‘s “friend” role on the show, reacting to the suggestion that Heather Dubrow, 56, will not return for season 20, and reflecting on her falling out with Shannon Beador, 61, Tamra explained Shannon’s role in her former feud with Vicki, 63, and spoke of “new blood.”

    “You bet your sweet a** I sent [Crystal] a DM right away,” Tamra, 58, revealed on the December 23 episode of My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast. “I reached out, and I said, ‘Was it my orange?’ and she said, ‘No, it was not.’ She would not tell me who it was, but she says, ‘I just heard it’s somebody else’s.’”

    “Gretchen doesn’t have an orange, not even a clementine. Heather? Do you think Heather’s going to Beverly Hills?” she continued.

    “That would only make sense,” Vicki replied.

    Reflecting on the end of her friendship with Shannon, Tamra said she felt sorry for her co-star after her DUI arrest.

    “I was there for her and we walked the red carpet at BravoCon and she thanked us and did all the stuff and then I found out that she was saying some pretty horrible things about me. Like, wait a minute. I’m doing all this for you. That’s not cool,” Tamra revealed. “I just got to a point where I’m like, I don’t want to be around someone that’s doing that to me. So then we had to go and film a season together.”

    Although Tamra admitted that “it wasn’t nice” to call Shannon a drunk, she claimed she was coming from a place of frustration.

    “You know how hard it is to talk to somebody who will not own anything that they’ve done — no part of it?” she asked. “It’s like, the only reason I’m upset with you and not talking to you is because you were doing horrible things behind my back when I was trying to be nothing but a good friend for 10 years.”

    At the time, Tamra noted that she and Vicki were talking “a lot.” But Vicki noted, “I just got mad at you for being so mean … at times you’ve been mean to everybody.”

    In her defense, Tamra explained, “I think if you’ve been on the show for a certain, long period of time, you’re gonna be mean to people once in a while. You’re gonna get in fights with people.

    Also on the podcast, Tamra reacted to people warning Vicki that she would turn on her.

    “I do not turn on [Vicki]. It was Shannon. Let’s be honest. Shannon was doing what she normally does. She divides and conquers and does all the things and tries to separate people,” she clarified. 

    Then, after noting that she and Vicki “never got into a fight,” Tamra explained why the Tres Amigas Tour was called off after Shannon’s DUI.

    “I was more concerned about her, like, this isn’t a good thing. To maybe just take a beat and kind of absorb what just happened to you, so I was just thinking of business mind, like is that really what you want to do?” she reasoned. “It was fun while it lasted.”

    Looking ahead to season 20, Tamra said, “We need new blood.”

    “Bravo announced there was going to be a shakeup,” she added.

    The Real Housewives of Orange County season 20 is expected to begin filming sometime early next year.

  • Tamra Judge Shares New Details on RHOC Finale Call Drama, Talks Having PTSD, Gretchen’s “Gross” Posts Being “Brushed Over,” & Cast Gang-Up, Plus If She’s Spoken to Andy Since Reunion and What Wasn’t Shown

    Credit: Instagram

    Tamra Judge admitted to getting a heads-up about the Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 finale call, during which she was accused of leaking stories to blogs, on Vicki Gunvalson‘s podcast on Tuesday.

    As she also addressed the way Gretchen Rossi‘s controversial “liked” posts were brushed over amid a cast gang-up against her, cited the support of Katie Ginella, 41, and confirmed whether she’d spoken to Andy Cohen, 57, since the reunion, Tamra, 58, admitted to having post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from the show and explained how she handles her haters.

    “You think I know? Why would I be behind it? That’s nasty. That’s dirty. Nobody will give me an answer on it. I don’t know who it is and there’s nothing I can do about it,” Tamra said of who made the finale phone call on the December 23 episode of My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast.

    According to Tamra, executive producer Alex Baskin called her before the episode aired and said, “Hey, listen, I don’t want to ambush you, but something’s going to come up.”

    “So the entire time I’m there, I’m like, ‘What’s coming?’ It’s like the worst feeling in the entire world, and then it came … the way it all went down was very disgusting to me. It was very much brushed over, these posts that had been liked by Gretchen, this hatred, and all this stuff,” Tamra noted. 

    Because there was more focus on Tamra defending herself against supposedly leaked stories than Gretchen’s posts, she felt even more ganged up on by her castmates.

    “We’re just going to ignore this? We’re gonna act like this didn’t happen?” she wondered. “And then you’re gonna go after me for 30 or 40 minutes on this stuff? … It was painful. Katie was the only one that came to my dressing room afterwards and sat there … and talked to me, and I was crying … [The others] all went to dinner with Gretchen.”

    “But at the end of the day, I know what contract I signed. They can do whatever they want to me,” she added.

    While it has been suggested that Gretchen’s “liked” posts were modified in some way, Tamra insisted they were real.

    “For years [they’d been floating around]. It was all over Reddit. It was all over Twitter. It was all over Instagram. It was all over the place, and some of them were pretty freaking gross. Really gross,” she fumed.

    After Vicki, 63, pointed out that Gretchen had defended herself, saying she scrolls and “likes” everything, Tamra asked, “What is your algorithm? That’s what you have to ask. I don’t have things like that in my algorithm.”

    Looking back on RHOC season 19, Tamra said she was a victim of a gang-up from Shannon Beador, 61, Emily Simpson, 49, Jennifer Pedranti, 48, and, at one time, Gina Kirschenheiter, 41.

    “It was like, ‘What did I do to you, Emily? What did I do to you, Gina? What are you guys doing?’” she recalled. “There was such a huge division in the cast this last year and I think that is not good, when there’s people trying to [sabotage] or ice somebody out … It’s like, ‘Just do your job and don’t worry about anybody else.’”

    As for whether she’d seen Andy since the reunion, Tamra confirmed she saw him at BravoCon.

    “[And] he did call me the day after the reunion to check on me. He’s always been very nice to me,” she added.

    Still, Tamra revealed she experienced PTSD.

    “There was a huge hate train last year, and it was devastating to me. But I feel like I wasn’t shown in the best light,” she explained. “I was getting death threats and hate. I had PTSD coming back to the show, and coming back to the show, I was still very scared and nervous about saying anything because I’m like, ‘I said so many great things and nice things,’ but it wasn’t shown.”

    Also on the podcast, Tamra said that when it comes to her haters, she doesn’t let them affect her.

    “I’ve had talks with production and people at Bravo and they’re not very influenced by what people are saying on social media because the hardcore fans that are out there that are loud, very loud, they will hate you one minute and then love you the next. They will want you fired and then when you’re fired, they want you back,” she reasoned.

    “I don’t read the comments … it’s a time waste, and then it’s also not good for your mental health … I don’t want to,” she added.

    The Real Housewives of Orange County season 20 is expected to begin filming sometime early next year.

  • PHOTO: ‘RHOC’ Star Gina Kirschenheiter Sparks Ozempic Rumors After Showing Slimmer Look at BravoCon as Fans Beg Her Not to Lose Any More Weight

    Credit: Instagram

    Gina Kirschenheiter is facing rumors of Ozempic use after posting a series of Instagram photos of herself at BravoCon last month.

    On the heels of the conclusion of The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19, which was based around the he-said, she-said of a roofie rumor about Gretchen Rossi, 47, and a lie detector that followed, Gina, 41, has recaptured the attention of fans with her slimmed-down frame.

    “[BravoCon] with friends,” Gina wrote in the caption of a November 28 slideshow, which featured a photo of her and Andy Cohen, 57.

    Soon after the post was shared, Gina was met with questions from her fans and followers.

    “Is everybody going on Ozempic? You all so skinny. But you look great,” one person stated.

    “Awww. I love you I think you’re fabulous. But.. please don’t lose any more weight,” another begged.

    A third wondered, “Gina what did you do,” before suggesting she was “much prettier before!!!!”

    “Please spill the details on what you’ve had done. Because whatever it is I need it!” someone else declared.

    “I think she gave up alcohol,” another replied. 

    Then, after someone signaled the size of Gina’s head, another pointed to her pants.

    “Well by the look of the size of her head compared to her body.. people have said Ozempic,” the first fan mentioned.

    “Her head looks normal, but I think she forgot her pants or something,” the second responded.

    RHOC Gina Kirschenheiter Accused of Using Ozempic After Sharing Skinny Pic

    As RHOC fans may recall, Gina’s co-star and friend, Emily Simpson, 49, admitted to using Ozempic to lose weight in 2023, insisting that her use of the prescription medication was short-lived.

    “That was a great kickstart for me,” Emily explained on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live. “I’m just gonna say that for me, it worked amazing because it really just kind of all the bad habits that I had where I was just kind of grazing, not really paying attention to what I was eating, eating late at night, eating my kids’ food, it just, all that stuff just kind of went away. It made me more conscientious of what I was eating, and so that was a really great kickstart for me. I didn’t lose a lot of weight doing it. I maybe lost five to seven pounds or something like that.”

    Regarding her decision to go off the drug, Emily revealed, “I didn’t like the way it made me feel lethargic.”

    “And it made me just not have a lot of energy, which was hard with three little kids,” she shared.

    The Real Housewives of Orange County season 20 will reportedly begin in late winter or early spring of next year.

    Jim Edmonds‘ wife, Kortnie O’Connor, shared a family photo with Meghan King‘s three kids, nine-year-old daughter Aspen, and seven-year-old twin sons Hayes and Hart, and was met with questions from her followers.

    Over a week after the 41-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County alum temporarily lost custody of the children to Jim, 55, Kortnie took to her Instagram page with a pic and statement of gratitude and responded to people wondering about Jim’s other kids, offering support to Meghan, and asking her to join the Bravo series.

    “Grateful for us — the love we chose, the peace we protect, and the family we’re growing together. Happy Thanksgiving y’all!” Kortnie wrote in the caption of her family photo with Jim and the kids.

    Then, in a second message, she reacted to followers wondering about Jim’s other children, who include Hayley and Lauren, whom he shared with late ex-wife Lee Ann Horton, and Sutton and Landon, whom he shares with second wife Allison Jayne Raski.

    “His older children are with their mother and the others have families too! Children at that! If it’s any of your business at all! Seriously get a life or unfollow,” she stated.

    Kortnie also responded to a couple of other commenters.

    “Beautiful pic. Also hoping their mother is doing okay,” one person said.

    “Maybe you can send your warm wishes directly to her page!” Kortnie replied.

    Another wrote, “[Please] join Real Housewives so we can get the tea,” prompting Kortnie to say, “Haha! Would NEVER!!!!”

    According to a November 27 report from Page Six, Jim and Meghan’s kids spent Thanksgiving with Jim and Kortnie in Tennessee after Meghan temporarily lost custody of them earlier this month. As the outlet noted, Meghan typically has supervised visitation with the children on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but changes were made to the agreement in regard to the holiday.

    As RHOC fans will recall, Meghan lost custody of Aspen, Hayes, and Hart after she allegedly gave Ritalin to Hayes, despite him having never been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and requested a school nurse do the same.

    Jim and Meghan are due in court on December 9 to determine a more permanent custody arrangement.

  • RHOC’s Slade Smiley Accuses Tamra Judge of “Lying About Autism” and Mentions Her Son, Plus He Says Gretchen Supported LGBTQ+ Community Before Heather

    Slade Smiley claims Andy Cohen has chosen to support Gretchen Rossi due to “overwhelming evidence” against Tamra Judge.

    In a comment to a post about the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion, which accused Gretchen, 47, of being a supporter of President Trump, 79, declared that she was “not a victim,” and pointed out that there was no proof of Tamra, 58, leaking stories to bloggers, Slade, 52, went on a rant against Tamra and signaled her past behavior.

    “The reason Andy supported Gretchen is that there is overwhelming evidence against Tamra and her little network of accounts, seems like you may be included in that network. Tamra has been caught in possession of screenshots of fake posts that have been altered by putting Gretchen’s name on it,” Slade began, as seen in a screenshot shared by Real Housewives Zone on Instagram.

    According to Slade, Gretchen has stood up for the LGBTQ+ community “her entire life,” and not just once it became normal — or because she had children come out.

    “She supported this community long before anyone on this cast did including [Heather Dubrow],” he wrote.

    He then took aim at Tamra’s past use of a potential gay slur and “liking” of her son Ryan Vieth‘s “anti trans rant,” saying she only “back peddled when she got caught.”

    While the RHOC finale and reunion left more questions than answers for some, Slade teased a report that has been viewed by not only Andy, 57, but also Bravo.

    “The report is clear and the truth will come out. The report was done by a very well known company that does government research. Andy and the network have seen it all,” he declared. “None of this would have ever been an issue this season but it was orchestrated by Tamra, the embellished lie about Gretchen being drugged by Tamra orchestrated by Tamra. She is the one who brought it all up.”

    Also in his rant, Slade said Tamra was “the obvious cancer infecting the authenticity of the show.”

    “For gods sake she got caught lying about autism. She swore on the life of her children she didn’t do it. How gross is [that] the podcasts are all coming [forward] with proof she did,” he added.

    In separate posts shared via screenshots by the Real OG of the NYC on X, Slade featured an article Reality Blurb shared in a January 2019 post, titled, “RHOC Star Tamra Judge’s Son Ryan Vieth Goes On Transphobic Rant Amid Transgender Controversy and She ‘Likes’ His Post, Does She Support His Views?”

    In the since-deleted post, Ryan had said, “LET’S BE F**KING REAL, THE WORLD IS F**KED. COMPLETELY F**KED,“ with a screenshot of a news article, which was titled, “Britain’s first transgender family reveals son, 5, is also transitioning.”

    Ryan also included a comment from someone who said, “The only thing that kid should be transitioning into is being a 6-year-old. Anything else is abusive brainwashing.”

    In another post, Slade included a link to a video Zack Peter shared on X in which he claimed that Tamra had “absolutely been leaking things for months.”

    “I’ve known the info she’s been leaking about the show since July, when she was trying to prevent people from interviewing Gretchen. On a personal note, I like [Tamra], I like [Teddi Mellencamp], I like [Scheana Shay], I like Gretchen. But I’m always going to call out BS when I see it,” Zack stated.

    No word yet on when production will begin on The Real Housewives of Orange County season 20.

  • Tamra Judge Addresses if She’s Suing Gretchen Rossi, Talks RHOC Reunion “Attack” and Says She “Couldn’t Move” for Days: “I Didn’t Even Really Do Anything This Season to Even Be Taken Down”

    Credit: ZapatA/MEGA, Bravo

    Tamra Judge suggested that she was moving forward with a lawsuit against Gretchen Rossi while appearing on Jeff Lewis‘ podcast on Friday.

    As the 58-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star denied leaking information to bloggers, addressed her castmates’ reunion attack, and admitted that she doesn’t trust any of her co-stars, Tamra confessed to being “confused” by the mysterious finale phone call, named the one person who was there for her amid Teddi Mellencamp‘s brain cancer diagnosis, and answered a question about whether or not she was planning to sue Gretchen, 47.

    “Stay tuned,” Tamra teased on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live on November 21 when pressed about the potential legal action.

    After being accused of leaks, Tamra said she’d never do such a thing.

    “That’s a no. No. What would I get out of it?” she wondered. “Someone on the cast I won’t name said, ‘You do it so bloggers are nice to you.’ And I said, ‘What f*cking blogger’s nice to me?’ I have like three, and they have like 200 followers.”

    “It’s ridiculous,” she added of the claims.

    Looking back at the reunion, Tamra admitted, “It felt like an attack,” as she revealed she was immobile for days.

    “The first two days after the reunion, I couldn’t even move … I just sat there … I couldn’t function. I just couldn’t believe what was going on or what had happened. So it was tough,” she shared. “Even two weeks after, it was still in my head. I’m like, ‘Why? But why? Why did this happen?’”

    “It was hard, especially from certain people on the cast that I have been very kind to and didn’t know where this was coming from … it’s going after my character and [saying] that I can’t be trusted,” she continued. 

    According to Tamra, it’s her castmates whom she can’t trust, not the other way around.

    “I don’t trust any of these girls I’m on the show with — not one of them,” she declared. “It’s the housewife way. You know if something comes up, they’re gonna throw it out there. That’s what they’re paid to do. So it’s very hard to trust somebody.”

    Regarding the finale phone call, which came from an unidentified source who suggested she was behind the season 19 leaks, Tamra said it was “very, very, very confusing.”

    “The whole thing is confusing to me … There’s a lot of things I just don’t understand,” she explained.

    As for whether it was the women staging a take-down, Tamra wondered what their reason would’ve been.

    “I didn’t even really do anything this season to even be taken down. I feel like I was in a place of sadness because filming and what was going on with Teddi, I was just really, really sad and devastated, and I just kind of felt like nobody was there for me,” she recalled. “Every time I went into a scene, everyone was going to poke at me because it’s like, ‘Oh, poke at Tamra, she’s gonna explode. She’s gonna give us good TV.’ And I wasn’t in the spot. I was in a spot where I just wanted people to hug me and say, ‘It’s gonna be okay.’”

    Though most of her castmates weren’t supportive of her when she needed it the most, Tamra did acknowledge Heather Dubrow, 56, saying, “Heather was there for me. She would call me.”

  • ‘RHOC’ Star Tamra Judge Reveals More Details Behind Her Run-In With Scheana Shay at BravoCon, Plus Tamra Gets Booed for Calling Stacey Rusch the ‘Thirstiest’ Housewife as Stacey Claps Back

    Credit: Instagram

    Tamra Judge revealed more details behind her strange run-in with Scheana Shay at BravoCon 2025. Meanwhile, the Real Housewives of Orange County star got booed as she called Stacey Rusch the ‘thirstiest’ Housewife – before Stacey clapped back.

    On the latest season of RHOC, Katie Ginella alleged that Scheana’s friend Gretchen Rossi accused Tamra of drugging her in the past. Tamra later accused Scheana of somehow creating the drama. Scheana denied it, and the two stars have gone back and forth with shade on their respective podcasts.

    At BravoCon 2025, Scheana claimed that Tamra was dissing her in interviews but whispered in an elevator that she loves her. She also suggested that Tamra was approaching a “psychotic break.”

    “Scheana Shay had a lot to say about me,” shared Tamra on Two Ts in a Pod. “She said that I was on the verge of a psychotic break, but in the elevator I whispered to her, ‘I love you.’”

    “Did you?” asked co-host Dolores Catania.

    “[Scheana’s] door opened up and I saw her, and she was just giving me like a death stare. She was just like staring at me,” said Tamra. “And I go, ‘love you’ – being sarcastic.”

    At a BravoCon panel, Tamra played a game called “On the Spot” – where stars were asked shady questions.

    Tamra was asked to name the ‘thirstiest’ Real Housewife. When Tamra said Stacey, the audience booed her.

    “They are booing you!” Stacey clapped back. “They’re booing you, boo. They’re booing you. Listen to the people. You better choose somebody else.”

    Tamra responded, “I would’ve chosen Scheana, but she’s not a Housewife.”

    In the same episode, Reza Farahan named Kyle Richards as the “most overrated Bravolebrity at this current moment.”

    “I said it before and I’ll say it again. Kyle Richards is the most overrated Housewife of all time! I’m sorry!” he expressed, via Decider.

    Kyle’s good friend Erika Jayne reacted, “I love Kyle. I think she is important to Beverly Hills. I love you, but I hate that you feel that way. But I get it. Everybody’s entitled to their opinion. I get it. I just feel differently.”

    Stacey herself was then asked to share her ‘rudest’ encounter during BravoCon.

    “Do I have to tell the truth? … Kyle,” Stacey answered. “I was so excited to meet her, and she was less than gracious. It’s the truth. I have to tell the truth.”

    At a later panel, Kyle reacted to Stacey’s claim.

    “I have not seen [RHOP] since she’s been on, so I don’t know why that would offend her,” said Kyle. “There are times people have said to me, ‘I’m sorry, I haven’t seen the show. I didn’t know.’ I’m not offended by that. It’s OK. I don’t know why she’s offended by that.”

    “I just looked at a picture of her to make sure,” she added. “She’s beautiful. I do love that show, but I haven’t seen it in a while.”

  • RHOC Reunion Part 3 Recap: Tamra Threatens to Sue Gretchen After She Accuses Her of Being Behind Controversial Liked Posts & Feuds With Emily as More Allegations Surface, Plus Jenn Confronts Katie Over Convo With Friend Nicole

    The OC ladies have been trippin’ (quite literally) this season.  As the reunion for season 19 of The Real Housewives of Orange County concludes, it seems like a happy ending is not in the cards.  Gretchen denies liking homophobic posts, despite following accounts that discuss that hate rhetoric, and Tamra gets accused of leaking content from the season.

    When confronted, not only does Tamra deny involvement, but she becomes infuriated. After 15 years on the show, Tamra has never once had this sort of problem, but she finds it interesting that once Gretchen and Slade come back on, issues seem to appear from thin air…

    From New Orleans, to Amsterdam, this group of women have traveled around… and they brought the drama with them. But they did manage to have some fun, mainly with recreational drugs. Shannon STILL believes she heard the OC theme song when she was on ‘shrooms and Andy lives for Heather wakin’ n bakin’. Speaking of Heather, she discusses the cathartic experience of spreading her father’s ashes and is grateful Emily was there to give the support she needed.  

    Andy brings up the emotional final dinner in Amsterdam when the ladies confront Gretchen’s alleged social media actions. Gretchen explains that there is no excuse for liking anything with “offensive sentiment” and she “completely denounces” anything that seems homophobic or transphobic.  Gretchen claims she did not recognize any of the posts, but admits that she does follow the accounts.

    Gretchen blames liking said posts on mindlessly scrolling without looking at the content of the post. WHAT.  Tamra points out that Gretchen unfollowed over two hundred hate accounts when she got back from Amsterdam.  Does that make Gretchen look guilty?

    Tamra wonders why Gretchen would be following someone with that type of content to begin with, but Gretchen plays dumb. She claims she follows both left and right wing accounts, especially around the 2020 election, and Andy reminds the group it is a free country-Gretchen can follow whoever. 

    Heather explains that after 14 years of knowing Gretchen, she has never seen Gretchen in that light. However, she has heard “rumblings” about Gretchen and this type of rhetoric. Heather reminds Gretchen that if she follows these accounts, her For You page is going to be full of hate. Tamra printed out posts from two days ago that shows Gretchen STILL liking this type of content. Gretchen calls it a “good lesson” and shares that she unliked many old posts.

    In order to prove to Heather that she was set up, Gretchen hired a cyber analysis company. The 25 page report confirms that the most egregious post may be a combo of AI and other imaging software. On top of that, the analysis found links between the hate accounts and Tamra!! 

    Tamra denies this wholeheartedly and explains that she has known about this situation since 2022. Gretchen claims someone called her to let her know Tamra and Gina were plotting to take her down with this hate rhetoric.  Andy wonders why Tamra would bring this up after resolving the issues with Gretchen. But Tamra is engaged.  She calls Gretchen a “homophobic b*tch,” but Gretchen believes that Tamra is the one putting everything out into the press. 

    In the end, Gina wishes that she brought up the post situation a different way. She apologizes to Gretchen since it caused some public drama.

    Heather explains that she felt as though Tamra was trying to drop the Gretchen post into her lap to make her run with it, but Heather chose not to take the bait. Tamra wonders why she is getting blamed for Gretchen liking homophobic stuff. When Emily jumps, wondering why Tamra would bring Gina into the mix, Tamra calls Emily an a*shole and seethes with anger. 

    Tamra reminds Emily, “by the way sweetheart, we had to switch you back on because when you got off, it [your podcast] tanked.” Tamra feels like she can come for Emily like that because she called her an a*shole, but the reality is, Tamra called Emily that FIRST! Tamra is always the victim. She misremembers, claiming she has always been nice to Emily, but calling her Shrek does not seem nice to me…

    Seeing remorse from Emily, Gina, and Heather makes Gretchen feel a little bit better after they all attacked her for liking homophobic posts.  Emily searched for credible sources of this egregious post and came up empty.  A screen shot is not clear evidence. Katie, who was not there, calls this situation heartbreaking as she is an ally to the LGBTQ+ community.

    Gretchen is (sort of) crying because this is not who she is. She calls it a personal attack and feels like it was plotted and planned.  In fact, it brought up PTSD of naked wasted with all the plotting and planning. Gretchen claims that Tamra disseminates information to purposely retaliate.  Remind me again why Katie got banned from hanging out with the group when they’re doing the same thing?!

    Andy shows Tamra that the cyber analysis is linking accounts back to her and, as Gretchen puts it, her “criminal network.” Tamra states that she never leaked information to bloggers…which does not age well once she sees the post filming clip with an anonymous caller.

    Katie looks like she has seen a ghost and Tamra remains cool as a cucumber as they listen to the tipster shell out information that only those filming would know.  According to the source, Tamra was leaking information all season long and the entire content was known by this person. Evidently, Tamra clearly wanted Gina there to do her dirty work this season.

    Tamra wants to know who this guy is.  Andy reminds the group that they all must agree to keep things confidential about the season. Tamra calls this an ambush and points out that after 15 years, there has never been a problem… until Gretchen came back on.  

    Shannon shares that the anonymous person told them Tamra has been doing this for years. The tipster even knew about Shannon’s up fronts drama, info that was not privy to most. Now Tamra seems to find herself in the same seat that Katie was in all season long. Katie is happy to be clean on this one, since the only people who knew about this information filmed the remainder of the season.

    Tamra believes that Slade is working overtime to make her look bad and many people argue that the tone and cadence of the anon voice gives off Slade vibes.  

    Tamra shrieks and promises on her kids’ lives that she would never do this. Heather finds this concerning, but Tamra reminds everyone that the minute Gretchen and Slade are back in the picture, fishy things happen.  Gina feels set up by Tamra, but Tamra thinks that Gina should feel set up by Slade. Andy reminds Tamra that Slade wouldn’t know the information because Gretchen did not even know it.

    Shannon muses if Tamra’s “orgasmic face” on finale night had anything to do with this whole situation.  According to Shannon, it was almost like Tamra was smug in knowing she’s got Gretchen backed in the corner.

    Tamra explains there is no proof (other than the exact content and storyline from the season). Gina points out that if Tamra told anyone anything about the season, even with no mal intent, information is getting out there somehow. 

    Heather wants all of this to stop. Careers, kids, bloggers- it should all be off-limits.  This show should solely be about conflict and resolution between the group.  She reminds everyone this show is not a game of Survivor. Emily jumps in (what else is new?) to say it is imperative not to deal with outside people since it is hard enough as it is within the group. 

    If Gretchen could take back one thing she said this season it would be blabbing about Tamra’s alleged affair. Shannon apologizes once again to Katie for comparing her to Alexis and Katie regrets saying something about Jenn. 

    Heather wishes she was more vocal about the fatty photo and Emily goes back to last year and apologizes to Katie once again.  Gina regrets having asked Katie what she was wearing and she feels bad for saying she does not think Heather is funny.  Tamra regrets sharing the picture of Jenn and Jenn apologizes to both Shannon and Katie.  

    For Katie and Jenn, they need to have a conversation re: Nicole, a friend of Jenn’s. Apparently, Katie asked if Ryan was involved with Matt’s bookie gig. Jenn lets Katie know she can’t do things like this in true friendships, but Katie reminds Jenn that she had not spoken to her for weeks. Katie stands firm, despite Jenn’s accusations.

    Heather leads the ladies in a path to clarity with a toast and season 19 wraps.  Tamra is reeling, trying to claim her innocence to Andy, wondering where all of this information came from. She leans on Katie for support, which is rich considering Katie was also blacklisted this season for doing exactly what Tamra is accused of. 

    Katie reminds Tamra that she needs to remember who is in her corner. Tamra calls it retaliation, but Gina is headstrong that there were things discussed that only Gina and Tamra know…pointing all arrows back to Tamra. SO, is she guilty? Or are Slade and Gretchen truly behind this?

  • Katie Ginella Reacts to RHOC Costars Gretchen & Jen Gushing Over Her, Addresses Claim Her Friendship With Tamra Judge is “Strategic”

    Credit: Bravo

    Katie Ginella shared which co-star she’s willing to reconcile with on Real Housewives of Orange County, and she addressed claims that her friendship with Tamra Judge is “strategic.” Katie also suggested that the finale scene against Tamra was an attempt to “stir the pot” to “mask” other “indiscretions.”

    In the recent finale, Jennifer Pedranti, Shannon Beador, and Gina Kirschenheiter spoke on the phone with an anonymous source who claimed that Tamra leaked info about the season to content creators after slamming Katie for doing the same thing.

    In an interview with Virtual Reali-Tea at BravoCon, Katie was told that Gretchen and Jennifer recently gushed over Katie, claiming they’re now cordial and that they all took a photo together.

    Katie looked surprised. “I thought I just saw a pig [flying],” she said.

    She was then asked if she would ever revisit those friendships.

    “I will with Jenn for sure,” she said.

    “Why Jenn and not Gretchen?” asked co-host Evan Real.

    “Because I’m not a homophobe,” said Katie, who was later asked if she believes Gretchen ‘liked’ offensive posts, as discussed in the season. “Some are still liked and commented on. I’ve seen them on my phone.”

    In a separate interview for ET, host Brice Sander asked Katie about the claim that her friendship with Tamra is “strategic” so she can “stay on the show.”

    “I’m not sure how to answer that,” she said. “It’s not strategic. When I was paused from filming, she was the first one to call me the very next day, not Jenn, and asked how I was doing, and she didn’t even know what the fan reaction would be. So she literally took a chance on bringing me back in, filming with me again, and it’s been a very organic type of relationship.”

    Later on, she addressed the finale scene about Tamra.

    “Sometimes when people are guilty of something, they [will] stir the pot on something else to mask their indiscretions,” she said, referring to Gina, Shannon, and Jenn. “I think that there’s no proof. We didn’t see anything leak … If the guy really did this and heard this, then who is it? Come out and say it with your whole chest. Let’s hear you. Let’s meet you.”

  • Vicki Gunvalson Is Coming Back to RHOC

    Photo: Todd Williamson/Bravo via Getty

    The original housewife is returning. Vicki Gunvalson confirmed on November 14 at BravoCon that she will be rejoining the series at the Bravos Award Show with Andy Cohen. “Vicki, would you join us as a Housewife for Season 20?” Cohen asked her during the taping and handed her an orange. Gunvalson teared up as she cheered with a “Yes!”

    Deadline reports that while Gunvalson accepted the offer, she hasn’t formally begun negotiations with Bravo, and it’s unclear if she’s coming back as a full-time Housewife. Gunvalson became one of the first Housewives on The Real Housewives of Orange County, becoming the launching pad for the Housewives franchise into the Bravoverse; she was on the main cast of the show from season 1-13 until her departure, where she then made brief appearances in seasons 14, 17, and 18.

    Thankfully, it seems like other OC housewives are happy for Gunvalson’s return, and it might even lead to a Tres Amigas reunion. “You know, I’m so excited for Vicki,” current RHOC star Shanon Storm Beador shared on a Saturday panel as she realized last night’s proposal was a full-circle moment in many ways. “And it was really funny… Two years ago, when she won the Wifetime Achievement award, [Vicki] came back to the seat and said something like, ‘Oh, why didn’t Andy pull an orange out of his pocket?’ And he did that last night… I’m so excited for her.” Tamra Judge also confirmed that after their friendship breakup, Judge and Gunvalson are amigas once more. “We’ve had a lot of ups and downs in our 20 years. I always say we’re like sisters,” Judge told Us Weekly last week, ahead of the announcement. “It’s that love-hate relationship all the time. I’m talking sisterly love, like, you have little arguments. And then, of course, being on a show together, there’s always ups and downs — especially the type of show that we were on together.”

  • RHOC Reunion Part 2: Gretchen Claims Matt Said Eddie Is Gay, Katie Blames Jenn for Lost Paycheck, and Tamra Admits Shading Jenn With ‘Fatty’ Photo as Jenn Fires Back Over Affair Rumor

    The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion continues. Tamra seems to be the common denominator in many of these arguments, but when Katie’s husband, Matt, arrives, the focus changes.  Gretchen’s tactic is to deny and Jenn‘s is to forget anything that ever happened.  Katie is tired of the lies and Matt is ready to set the record straight about “holding the line.”

    Tamra is forever bringing up old dirt about people. In an attempt to defend herself, Tamra freaks out, claiming she does not even talk about Gretchen.  Andy finally steps in to move the show along and switches from Gretchen vs. Tamra to Jenn vs. Tamra.  Look who always seems to be involved in the drama…

    Jenn and Tamra have no relationship because, according to Jenn, Tamra is hard to navigate. Jenn believes Tamra always tries to make people think Jenn is not who she pretends to be. But Tamra feels like Jenn focused on her because she wanted to be on the show.  It’s odd that Tamra is bringing this up now, considering she never appeared to be on bad terms with Katie when she first came onto the show.

    Tamra rattles off all the ways Jenn tries to be like her, but can we actually believe any of them?  For starters, Jenn was never Tamra’s neighbor, considering Tamra moved off the block around the time Jenn moved in. Jenn even points out that Tamra invited her to do a fitness competition; therefore, she was not trying to single-white-female-Tamra!

    Tamra denies being jealous of Gretchen and Jenn, especially when it comes to their looks.  It is odd that Tamra would bring up the infamous fatty photo of Jenn, though.  Heather believes there was no “ill-intent” coming from Tamra, but  Tamra admits she showed the photo to be shady.  Andy jumps in to remind Tamra that there is an OC look, so it’s probably not as deep as Tamra thinks it is- so no, Jenn is NOT trying to be Tamra.

    During an episode, Tamra insinuated that Jenn had an affair at her old yoga studio with an instructor, but Jenn denies this allegation. Tamra simply hears rumors and puts them into the universe.  Jenn admits that she did have an affair and now she is with Ryan and wonders why Tamra’s go-to is to just throw something mean out there to make it stick.

    Although Jenn does not have a set wedding date, the women, especially Emily,  have her back. When it comes to Ryan “oversexualizing” Jenn, she has some insecurities. Jenn worries that this yearning will die out.  Her co-parenting is finally evening out and Will even thanked Ryan for taking the kids in. 

    Gina talks about the questionable friendship between Shannon and Jenn. Jenn claims they are truly tight and is forever indebted to Shannon for throwing her a bridal shower (that she never really wanted). Gina admits to being salty over Shannon’s attention to Jenn, but Shannon wonders why Gina would need to say she is “worried” about her actions.

    Heather is annoyed with Gina because they are both putting themselves back into the world, working once again.  When Gina made fun of Heather’s comedic career, Heather felt hurt.  It seems like any time Heather mentions her career, the other ladies sh*t all over it.   Gina admits that this was an error and apologizes, despite doubling-down in her interview.

    They take a break for lunch and Katie’s husband, Matt, arrives on set. She gets a little emotional talking about how Jenn denied calling her con-artist.  Matt scoffs at this, claiming Jenn is the one getting married to a guy who did a deal with the feds!  

    When Shannon goes to visit Jenn, we learn about a phone call Jenn got from Ryan.  Ryan let Jenn know that Katie made it a point to talk to a friend of theirs named Nicole.  Katie apparently asked Nicole if Ryan was involved in Matt’s illegal bookie business, which is an odd thing to ask ANYONE.  Jenn is furious once she finds this out because she knows Katie was just trying to get dirt to use against her.

    Katie is finally ready for the truth to come to light.  She is irked because she always defended Jenn, but Jenn seemingly hung Katie out to dry when sh*t hit the fan. When it comes to the racially insensitive video Gretchen and Jenn posted, Jenn is angry that Katie came at her.  “How dare you think that it’s racist?” Jenn questions Katie, stating that Katie should know Jenn’s intentions better than that.

    On top of that, Jenn never officially apologized for this until today.  Even Gretchen said she was sorry…sure it was a Chat GPT message, but it was done.  Katie get can’t over how she was not only offended, but then blamed by Jenn for the backlash.

    Jenn states that Katie, apparently, always had an ear to the ground and always knew things about the ladies and their families. Katie is hell bent on this roofie story and wonders why Jenn is not backing her up.

    Andy takes a moment to reset the naked-wasted drama. Last year, Ryan, Jenn, Matt, Katie, Slade, and Gretchen went to dinner (before Gretchen was even on the show).  Katie alleges that Gretchen said she went to the hospital after Tamra drugged her that evening so long ago. Jenn seemingly only remembers SOME details, then claimed she didn’t know anything about it, but knew details the next day.  Seems fishy.

    Gretchen told Jenn she was so sick she probably could have gone to the hospital.  Gretchen understands that her “miscommunication” reliving the traumatic experience made her say words she did not intend.  Shannon claims we are all guilty of misspeaking, but Gretchen saying she DID go to the hospital is certainly not misspeaking, according to this group. After all, Gretchen did pass the lie detector test because she did not go to the hospital, yet Katie said Gretchen told her she had a positive toxicology report. 

    Slade, Ryan, and Matt were invited to come to the reunion, but the only one who comes is Matt. Matt jumps right in (despite shaking) talking about the 911 text message he received from Slade. According to Matt, Slade was directing him to tell Katie to “hold the line” with Gretchen about the naked wasted account.

    Matt claims that Gretchen and Slade chose to tell this story about Tamra to highlight just how dangerous Tamra can be.  He goes on to say this story went into great detail about a drugging and a hospital stay.

    As Gretchen gets backed into a corner, she throws out that Matt said some messed up stuff that night at dinner, too, including Matt saying, “the second I met Eddie, I knew he was gay.” However, Katie claims that Gretchen is the one who said that to begin with!

    Matt threatens Gretchen with, “do you wanna get into it?” multiple times as Gretchen interrupts left and right.  Matt says there are phone logs and records proving Slade’s need to manipulate the narrative. Gretchen explains that Slade thinks Matt and Katie are not only talking to bloggers, but making up stories about Gretchen and Slade! 

    Andy points out that if Gretchen actually went to the hospital so long ago, it would have been a HUGE deal.  Katie knows Gretchen lied about going, but she is not the one responsible for the lie.  It seems like Gretchen got caught up in the tale and perhaps embellished it a bit for her audience? It is interesting that Slade is not there to share his side of the story. 

    Matt points out that Gretchen is Slade’s fourth Housewife, but Gretchen corrects him. She is his third.  Katie claims that Jenn messed with her paycheck and livelihood when she let Katie go down in flames.  This enrages Jenn.  Jenn wants Katie to start taking ownership of the situation.  And, at the end of the day, Jenn lost a friend in Katie…

  • RHOC’s Alexis Bellino Fires Back After Shannon Comments on Her Wedding, Hopes She Can “Finally Move On” From Talking About John

    Credit: Instagram

    Alexis Bellino reacted to Shannon Beador complimenting her wedding to ex John Janssen. Alexis said she hopes Shannon can “finally move on” and leave “my husband’s name out of her mouth” because it makes her look “like an idiot.”

    On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, Shannon congratulated Alexis after her wedding to John, who sued Shannon for $75,000 after their split. Shannon expressed well wishes, and she said the ceremony looked “beautiful.” She also repeated this sentiment at the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion.

    On Reality with The King, Alexis was asked how she felt about Shannon’s compliment.

    “I don’t really know. And I mean, I’m glad that it feels like she can finally move on,” said Alexis. “And hopefully now next season — if she’s back on the show — she’ll leave my husband’s name out of her mouth, because it makes her look kind of like an idiot to bring him up this many years later … after he’s like fully married.”

    “So hopefully that has been a lesson for her watching it play back this season,” she went on. “But I did feel like she meant it, because there’s no one that can say my wedding was beautiful and think they’re lying, because it was beautiful. It was one of the most beautiful things that actually came together. You know, when you’re creating the vision … of a wedding, you don’t know till the day of. You think you have this vision, but it might not look like [it]. All the suits … and dresses that we had and all the stuff we were trying to put together, I wouldn’t know until we got everybody together for that picture.”

    During the reunion, Tamra Judge suggested that Alexis’ wedding was one of the best she’s ever attended. On the podcast, Alexis said she “appreciated” how Tamra was “sensitive” about Shannon “sitting there” during her answer.

    “But Tamra’s asked a question in front of everybody and has to answer honestly. And I know that Tamra held back saying a lot of what she really wanted to say about the wedding, just in respect for Shannon’s … difficulty moving forward with it all during the season,” she said. “But yeah, so I do believe Shannon, that she thought it was gorgeous. Because it was.”

  • PHOTOS: ‘RHOC’ Fans Suspect Emily Simpson Got a Chin Implant, See the Before & After Pics That Sparked Plastic Surgery Rumors

    Credit: Instagram

    Did Emily Simpson go under the knife ahead of the recently filmed Real Housewives of Orange County reunion?

    Following the reveal of the season 19 reunion looks, Emily, 49, who’s been open about her past plastic surgeries, faced rumors of a chin implant, as before and after images shared on social media seemed to confirm that something had changed with her face.

    “Emily’s chin implant is chinning,” wrote a Bravo fan page on X.

    “Is that what it is? I couldn’t put my finger on what was different,” someone wrote in response to the images.

    “I was wondering what was different,” another agreed.

    “This side by side is insane wow,” exclaimed a third.

    But others said that it wasn’t an implant, but filler.

    “It’s the fillers she keeps getting. [Jennifer Pedranti] does it too,” one person alleged.

    Meanwhile, another added, “At the most it is masseter botox, chin shadowing with filler and botox and direct chin filler for her dimples. Most likely though it’s just masseter botox which does wonders for the jawline and TMJ too!”

    During a 2019 interview on The Domenick Nati Show, Emily opened up about the plastic surgeries she’d had over the years, sharing that she’d undergone a breast reduction, breast lift, and breast implants.

    “I’ve had three breast surgeries and I’ll probably do it again at some point, whenever I feel the need,” she admitted. “When I turned 40, I did a reduction and a lift. So, that was the last one, but that was the third one that I’ve had. I have no shame in the plastic surgery game.”

    Two years later, during a Q&A on Instagram, Emily responded to a fan who asked her how much surgery she’d had on her face. 

    “Zero… But I need a lower lift/tightening thing done asap,” she replied.

    Then, in 2023, on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, Emily confirmed she’d gotten “liposuction” in her arms and a “breast reduction” in January of that year.

    The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 reunion begins next Thursday, November 6, at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • RHOC Reunion Recap: Gretchen Calls Tamra a “F—king Liar” After Tamra is Called Out for Bringing Up Dirt on Cast, Plus Tamra Tells Shannon to Shut Up, Katie Confronts Emily, and Gina Apologizes to Katie

    The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion begins for season 19. Part one brings Katie back onto our screens after being missing from the latter half of the episodes. It also brings a “new” Tamra, which is laughable since all she does is fly off the handle any time Shannon speaks. But when Gretchen joins the group, she is ready to clear up some of the lies and set the record straight with Tamra.

    Andy greets all of the Housewives, and we learn that Shannon is fresh off a week at the Golden Door. Heather is happy about her quick commute for the reunion, and Emily explains that despite having a rough season, she managed to lose 25-30 pounds. Gina is loving the real estate business, and Katie is thrilled to be on set. Jenn (thankfully) was not dressed by Ryan, and Tamra promises she won’t be quitting today (yet). She explains that she is in better spirits because Teddi has zero tumors detected. 

    Tamra wants to be less reactive, but even Andy feels like Tamra’s behavior was not much different than the way she acted in the past. Tamra DID attend Alexis’ wedding and admits she feels weird talking about how beautiful it was in front of Shannon. Because Jenn chose Shannon over Alexis, she was uninvited and then reinvited. Exhausting.

    Shannon mutters that she did not get the grace that Tamra always asks for. She refers to Tamra as “Tamra Grudge” for the way she behaved all season. Tamra explains that Alexis said that Shannon was trying to ice Tamra out to try and get her off the show, but Shannon scoffs at this. Katie loves a chance to throw someone under the bus, so she calls Shannon out. Apparently, Jenn told Katie that Shannon called a producer about Tamra, but Andy debunks this rumor.

    When it comes to NOT trusting Tamra with sensitive information, Heather explains that she is a “historical friend” of Tamra’s. Her inconsistent and unpredictable behavior is what makes Heather a bit leery. After all, Tamra throws people’s secrets in their faces to hurt them. Take, for instance, when Tamra brought up Shannon’s dad’s drinking habits on screen. Tamra wonders why it’s okay for Shannon to discuss her familial drinking back in 2020, but when she brings it up, she gets in trouble.

    Shannon gets emotional, and Tamra claims she was not trying to single her dad out, since it was not her place at all. Jenn wonders when Tamra might look in the mirror and realize the issues are all stemming from HER. Tamra’s plan is to stay calm, apologize, and take accountability.

    Katie was accused of “stirring a pot of deception” this season. The viewers rallied around Katie after the lie detector episode, and it is clear that the women are shocked by the support Katie is receiving.

    Katie is still claiming she only sent the voice memo of Shannon freaking out to her husband, Matt, but Alexis also said she heard the recording. Before Shannon has the chance to question Katie, Tamra jumps in and brings up how Shannon filmed Vicki back in the day without her knowing it. Shannon claims this was done for safety during a fight between Vicki and her husband, but that’s a prime example of Tamra being Tamra and dredging up the past.

    Last year at the reunion, Emily brought up Katie’s custody battle with her children. Katie still wonders why Emily thought that would EVER be an okay thing to do and doesn’t understand why she has to explain herself 12 years later. Emily is tired of Katie using bloggers and journalists to fight her battles, and Katie apologizes for what occurred. 

    Jenn is still suffering from amnesia anytime she is in the hot seat, and she can’t remember saying Katie was a con artist. She merely thinks things do not add up with Katie.

    Katie told US Weekly that she felt set up and believes Emily was behind the whole lie detector situation. According to Emily, Katie said on camera that she would take a lie detector test. Emily admits a lie detector is ~36% accurate, and Emily’s only input was that the women come up with the questions anonymously. Emily denies setting Katie up and states she already knows Katie is lying — no machine needs to figure that out.

    Tamra points out that Emily says a lot of things in her confessionals about her, but she does not say the snide comments to her face. When Shannon comes in to remind Tamra that she makes snide comments too, Tamra jumps down her throat. Emily apologizes for saying Tamra never had girlfriends, but I think her fingers are crossed.

    Gina addresses the alleged racist comments about Katie’s clothing. Gina feels like it may have triggered a trauma in Katie, and Gina says she is sorry. Katie thinks it seemed inappropriate and denies calling her the R-word; rather, it had undertones of that type of behavior. Katie is the first Asian on RHOC in 18 years, and so she does not take any of this lightly. Katie accepts Gina’s apology, and Shannon gets in on this apology tour. Katie hopes there is a chance to move forward.

    In the meantime, Gretchen is prepping to clear up all the BS. She continues to deny saying that Tamra drugged her, and she is ready to show them that Gretchers means business.

    Emily can barely hold it together as she talks about her son Luke. Thanks to some viewer moms, Emily was alerted to PANDAS, a condition that can develop within a kid after having strep throat. Luke had a bad case of strep throat in January, and all of his symptoms are associated with this, especially as a child on the spectrum. She goes on to explain that Luke is going to have laser treatment on his brain to reduce the swelling. When it comes to her relationship with Shane, Emily calls it solid, but she wishes she had more emotional support. The Wife Swap episode did help her open her eyes to how much Shane does in their household. 

    Jenn gets to share that Dawson graduated from boot camp, despite passing out, and Tamra had a conversation and a HUG with her estranged daughter, Sidney. Shannon’s daughter is still traveling in Europe.

    It’s been 12 years since we’ve seen Gretchen (Jon-Benet Ramsey or Pink Elsa) on this stage. Gretchen explains that she is an influencer as her main source of income and that Slade is a consultant and sits on the Liberace foundation board (what?!). Guess Tamra can’t be responsible for Slade not having work…

    When it comes to Gretchen and Slade’s relationship, Heather makes it clear that their finances are no one’s business, but because of her reservations about his financial situation, it seemed like the proposal was fake. Andy even admits he thought Gretchen would want to get married on TV and have Bravo pay for the wedding. Tamra muses, “In God’s eyes, don’t you think you should be married?” Gretchen retorts that they had a ceremony… just no legal paperwork.

    Gretchen wishes that she had not brought up the Tamra affair rumor (which has been denied by all parties), but Tamra calls BS. Emily is irritated because Tamra and Gretchen called a truce, and then this happened. The 17-year feud with Tamra has been exhausting. Gretchen apologizes, but she points out that the alleged affair is in the press. It’s weird that Tamra is the only one who can bring up old dirt on people, and Tamra actually proves this point TWICE while talking to Andy. Shannon calls it “pure hypocrisy” before Tamra bites her head off. Looks like Tamra’s plan to stay calm, apologize, and take accountability can go right out the window as she goes back and forth with Gretchen about who is the worst liar…

  • Gretchen Rossi Denies Slade Was Behind RHOC Blogger Finale Call Controversy, Addresses Homophobic Posts She’s Accused of Liking as She’s Seen With Trump Hat in Resurfaced Clip

    Credit: Instagram

    Gretchen Rossi is speaking out amid claims that Slade Smiley was the person behind the distorted male voice heard at the end of the finale episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

    After the unidentified person accused Tamra Judge, 58, of leaking stories about the show, Gretchen, 47, addressed the rumors in a comment after Zack Peter, of the No Filter with Zack Peter podcast, alleged that it was “1,000 percent true” that Tamra had been in touch with podcasters and bloggers throughout season 19, and had leaked information about what was going down behind the scenes.

    “I can say that with full conviction. I’ve known about this since at least July,” Zack began in a video shared to Instagram on October 31.

    According to Zack, he believed the finale phone call and the DMs that preceded it likely came from a producer.

    “This happens in reality TV a lot, where producers will get info and they’ll leak it through like a DM or through like an anonymous Q&A question or something, and it’s to push the storyline forward. It happens in reality TV all the time,” he explained.

    Whatever the case, Zack said he can “guarantee” that “Tamra’s absolutely been leaking things for months.”

    “She’s been reaching out to podcasters, she’s been telling them not to have Gretchen on their show, not to interview Gretchen because, ‘Just wait. At the finale, Gretchen’s gonna be exposed. There are these homophobic posts, and Gretchen’s been ‘liking’ them.’ I can probably name at least five people that have gotten this info from Tamra over the last several months,” he stated. “She’s absolutely been planting seeds all summer long.”

    Zack then criticized Teddi Mellencamp, 44, for dragging Scheana Shay, 40, into the storyline by suggesting she was involved in the passing on of the rumor regarding the supposed drugging and hospitalization of Gretchen.

    “She knew exactly what she was doing by throwing Scheana Shay’s name into the mix because the Bravo fans already hate Scheana that it was just a greater adversary for them to direct their heat onto, and they got their pitchforks, and the fans loved it, and they came for Scheana’s neck,” he suspected.

    Following the sharing of the post, someone suggested that the voice heard on the finale was that of Slade.

    “They all leak stuff to the bloggers. In all the franchises. However the difference with Tamra is when every podcaster or a blogger interviews her she straight up comes out and says what she has to say boldly … We see it in the replays. Why would she ‘leak’ things that she says out right? Even on their Two Ts in a Pod. Gretchen and Slade clearly set this up and that voice sounds like Slade,” they alleged.

    But Gretchen denied it, suggesting there is proof to the contrary.

    “It’s not Slade [and] all the cast [and] production can verify that,” Gretchen replied.

    Another fan said that while they didn’t believe that Gretchen had “liked” the homophobic and anti-abortion rights posts, they didn’t understand how the screenshots could’ve been manufactured.

    “If you watch they said they found the original posts and they were not showing Gretchen liking them, I think it gets exposed at the reunion that the [screenshots] had been faked,” someone replied. 

    And after seeing the second fan’s comment, Gretchen confirmed, “Yep.”

    Then, after Scheana reacted to Zack’s video with a series of clapping emojis, someone else asked, “So are bloggers going to be the main topic on every housewives show now?”

    “It’s a fabricated post, I didn’t like that … and that is NOT Slade on that phone call,” Gretchen insisted.

    Another IG user asked why Tamra was getting heat for “leaking” Gretchen’s supposedly “liked” posts when it was Gretchen who reportedly “liked” them.

    “Because as we spoke about this morning, those posts are old. Tamra has known about them for a long time but strategically waited until the finale to use them against Gretchen. Tamra’s circle is surround by MAGA people. But suddenly she takes issue with it, to jab at Gretchen? And then leak it MONTHS before airing?” Zack shared.

    Meanwhile, in another video shared on Instagram by Bravo OMG, Gretchen was seen with a Trump hat in a years-old video as she held her daughter, Skylar Gray, now 6.

    “Go Trump, go! I got a Trump hat!” Gretchen declared.

    Then, after Slade warned her of a Biden hat, she added, “No, burn that one!”

  • RHOC’s Gretchen Rossi Explains Her Lack of Reaction to Claims of ‘Liking’ Anti-LGBTQ Posts as Tamra Reveals What Made it “Worse” & Emily Shares What Was “Concerning”

    Gretchen Rossi was accused of “liking” a series of controversial posts, including homophobic messages and anti-abortion rights statements, on Thursday’s finale episode of the 19th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County, and after the show aired, the cast commented on her “concerning” lack of a reaction.

    As Gretchen, 47, explained why she didn’t have much to say after the accusations were made, her co-stars, including Emilly Simpson, 49, Tamra Judge, 58, and Heather Dubrow, 56, raised suspicions as Shannon Beador, 61, attempted to defend her.

    “I was so confused because, in my heart, I’m like, ‘There’s no way I would’ve liked a post like that.’ What am I supposed to say to this? I know fundamentally in my heart what I feel and how I believe, so, but it’s like, how are you supposed to defend that in that moment?” Gretchen wondered on the October 30 episode of the RHOC: After Show. “I was legitimately in shock and confused. And then it just got weirder and weirder and weirder.”

    “I thought you would have come unhinged if you knew in your soul that it was not you,” Jennifer Pedranti, 48, replied.

    Meanwhile, Emily, who said she would have been “livid” if similar accusations were made against her, expected Gretchen to lash out at Tamra.

    “I thought that her reaction would’ve been, ‘F*ck you, Tamra. This is you creating bullsh*t about me.’ And that’s what I thought the reaction might be, and then I was gonna sit and analyze that. But there was no reaction from her,” she noted as Tamra added that Gretchen’s lack of a reaction “made it worse.”

    “If someone was accusing me of something, you just want to go, ‘How can I prove that this is ridiculous, that this is so not true?’” Heather reasoned.

    As for what else raised a red flag for Emily, she gave a nod to Gretchen’s chat with Slade Smiley, 51, as she questioned who Gretchen was.

    “The other things that was concerning for me is that she showed no emotion or really any kind of reaction until after she spoke to Slade. I don’t know where you land because I can’t tell what’s genuinely you and what’s Slade guiding you,” she explained.

    Elsewhere, Shannon said she “can’t imagine” that Gretchen did what she’s accused of.

    “I’ve seen a kind, devoted mom, [a] faith-based gal, and a girl who has a lot of friends in the LGBTQ community. So I don’t know. I’m waiting with you to see what happens,” she told Heather. “Something doesn’t make sense about all of it.”

    Shannon then noted that everyone reacts differently to different scenarios.

    “Shannon Beador laughs. Gretchen just was blindsided and like, ‘What?’ And some people are [deer] in the [headlights] and some people go, and they’re very vocal about what’s going on. So I don’t want to judge her based on her reaction,” she concluded.

    The three-part Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 reunion begins next Thursday, November 6, at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • RHOC Recap: Gretchen’s Disturbing Social Media Activity Comes to Light as She Breaks Down Over Years-Long Feud With Tamra, Plus Gina Questions Jenn & Shannon’s Friendship

    The Amsterdam trip continues on this episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County.  Shannon is still coming down from the effects of her space cake, Gina’s mushroom micro dose has her running her mouth, and Emily is (shockingly) not tired of stirring the pot.  Gretchen‘s emotional meltdown after trying to clear things up with Tamra dampens the mood, but it’s the post she liked and commented on that really has people questioning just who IS Gretchers?

    The ladies have switched ensemble vibes from leather and lace for the Red Light district to floral and pastels for the tulip field trip. They really love to dress the part.  Heather has decided that micro dosing mushrooms with Gina at 10:20 am would be a fabulous idea in hopes of bringing out the vibrant tulip colors.  

    On the ride there, Tamra calls Gretchen a downer and Emily points out that Gretchen always seems to creep around Tamra.  But it’s not just Gretchen’s name on this van-group’s lips.  Jenn becomes a topic of conversation. Gina believes that Jenn is just “whoever everybody tells her to be.” They all wonder why Shannon is going around saying Jenn is not attending Alexis’s wedding, despite being invited.  Evidently, Shannon told Jenn NOT to go and Tamra sees that Shannon is making Jenn fall into line by obeying her friendship rules.

    The tulip fields are beautiful (mushrooms are not even needed to see the vibrancy, Heather) and Gina is really starting to feel the effects of the ‘shrooms.  She chats with Emily about the Jenn and Shannon of it all and becomes angry.  Gina wonders why Shannon did not throw HER a party to celebrate the fact that she is back together with Travis.  This is a crazy thing to say. Gina feels like Shannon always pushes her away because she holds Shannon accountable and therefore is always the bad guy. 

    The ladies sit down for some lunch and loose-lips-Gina brings up Alexis’s wedding.  According to Emily, a high Gina never STFUs and that very much tracks. Jenn claims that Shannon never outright asked her to not go to Alexis’s wedding.  Emily wonders out loud if Shannon is ok with Jenn being good friends with Alexis.  Don’t her arms ever get tired from all the stirring?!

    Jenn makes it clear that Shannon’s issues with Alexis are only Shannon’s issues. Although Shannon cannot dictate who Jenn is friends with, their friendship is now getting judged by Shannon. 

    Gina blurts out that Jenn did not even want the shower luncheon Shannon threw.  In fact, according to Gina, Jenn thought it was “ridiculous.” Jenn is appalled, but tries to backtrack despite questionable video footage.  Gina states she is being honest and wonders why Jenn is trying to foster this “fake friendship.” Shannon is beyond hurt.

    Gina wonders why Shannon didn’t celebrate HER family coming back together.  No one knows what the issue is, so Emily enters to try and figure out the authenticity of Shannon and Jenn’s friendship because it is totally her business-not.

    Shannon is left feeling stupid, wondering where she stands with Jenn, and the group piles back into the vans. Jenn and Gretchen chat about being content creators and explain that it’s a full-blown business.  Gretchen calls herself a serial entrepreneur and she wants Jenn to get in on this side hustle, but first she needs to drop Ryan on all her Instagram posts.

    Emily thinks it is hilarious to gift the women tacky trucker hats with even tackier sayings on them.  When Heather dons an “I heart c*ck” hat, we know that hell is freezing over.  They split into two groups and get into hot tub boats on the canal.  Emily forces Gretchen and Tamra into one “crockpot” in an effort to have them make amends.

    On the other boat, Shannon thought things were different with Jenn.  Jenn led Shannon to believe that she is not friendly with Alexis, therefore she is now questioning the honesty between them. Shannon wants Jenn to understand that Alexis crossed certain lines and wonders why Jenn would think Alexis is so great. 

    In the meantime, Emily is doing the most trying to get Gretchen and Tamra on the same page.  Gretchen admits to messing up the night in LA, but Tamra wonders what intentions Gretchen had at the charity event when she confronted her with Slade. The pact they made at the beach to move on got breached almost immediately because it’s a never ending tit-for-tat cycle. 

    Gretchen realizes that Emily is being a flip-flopper in this situation.  Tamra tells Gretchen she is “not relevant, which perpetuates the cycle.  Emily points out that Gretchen is guilty in this mess and so Gretchen claims she will be more introspective. Gretchen plans on taking accountability, but notice Tamra stays mum.

    Gretchen states that Tamra has yet to take Jesus Christ into her heart, so why should she change now and be an apologetic person?

    As they walk off the boat, Tamra reads a headline on her phone and she questions Jenn right away.  Jenn admits that she DOES have to pay a 6 figure judgement after a lawsuit for allegedly not paying rent on her studio.  The modified rent plan during Covid is now forcing Jenn to pay back that money. Tamra feels like Jenn could have been better off financially if she made smarter decisions. 

    Gretchen becomes upset in the Sprinter because she feels like all of the things said over the years about Tamra and to Tamra are pretty ugly.  She cries that she doesn’t want to hurt anyone, but the nastiness is more of a defense mechanism. 

    Because of Gretchen’s emotions, she is choosing to come late to the dinner.   In the meantime, Shannon and Jenn are making up synchronized dances in the food hall, proving that their friendship is still going strong.

    As they dine, Tamra states that she is “bugged.” The ladies try to tell her that in the bus, Gretchen showed her genuine side and this time, it seems like she really means her apology.

    Gretchen eventually rolls up, two hours late, and the mood changes. Despite Gina and Emily trying to move the storyline along, Gretchen is still not ready to talk about her break down.  She explains that it stems from pain, but Tamra points out that Gretchen keeps bringing things up. 

    Although it was a long time ago, things bubbled up once again for Gretchen and she is wishing it was different. Heather reminds Gretchen that everyone has to be accountable and Gretchen apologizes (again) for bashing Tamra for 12 years.

    The next day, Gina and Emily debrief. Gina claims she is struggling with Gretchen because of something she saw on social media.  About two weeks ago, Gina was at the dispensary with Tamra and she brought up these “alarming” posts that Gretchen liked.  Gretchen even commented on some of the posts and Gina is having a hard time believing that is who Gretchen is at her core.

    While the show doesn’t go into detail on the exact posts, they appear to be referring to screenshots that appear to show Gretchen liking homophobic posts on social media. Gretchen has since claimed the screenshots of that seemingly show her liking these posts are fake. 

    Gina can’t let this whole situation go: “Once you see stuff like this, you gotta call it out and not ignore it.” It isn’t adding up that Gretchen would be launching hate campaigns, but Gina wants Gretchen to explain herself…

  • RHOC’s Tamra Judge Weighs in on Husband Eddie’s Concerns About Her Drinking and Offers Update on Daughter Sophia

    Credit: Instagram

    Tamra Judge is reacting to her husband Eddie Judge‘s concerns about her drinking, which he voiced on Thursday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

    After Eddie, 52, suggested that Tamra, 58, shouldn’t drink because alcohol makes her mean, Tamra weighed in on his claims, insisting that she’s no partier and rarely drinks while also offering an update on her youngest child, daughter Sophia Barney, 20.

    “I don’t even remember this conversation. Was I drunk when we had it?” Tamra first joked on the October 16 episode of the RHOC: After Show.

    According to Tamra, she couldn’t even remember the last time she and Eddie partied or drank.

    “Eddie and I are not big partiers or drinkers. We have alcohol in the house, but it’s probably been there for, like, I don’t know how many years,” she explained as Gina Kirschenheiter, 41, backed up her story.

    “People are very surprised by that … I’m like, ‘Tamra doesn’t even drink,’” she shared.

    While Tamra admitted that she and Eddie go out, she said that when it comes to drinking, the most that gets ordered between the two of them is a glass of wine.

    “If we go out with another couple and we’re at a nice restaurant, Eddie might get a glass of red wine. That’s it. Not partiers. We’re in bed by 8. Why go drink and be an a**hole, when you’re not even normally like that?” she asked. “I try not to, honestly, since his heart issues. He’s like ‘Alcohol’s poison. You put it in your body, and [look] what it does to you.’ And I’m like, ‘Sometimes you need a drink.’”

    “Actually now,” she added, “I’m at a point where I, like, don’t even desire it, like, go out, don’t even want to drink. Rarely.”

    During another moment of the RHOC: After Show, Tamra gave an update on her daughter, Sophia, revealing that her child has a boyfriend and is “in love.”

    “I’m thinking music school is not going to happen because her cute boyfriend, Nico, lives in Fullerton,” Tamra explained. “He goes to Cal State Fullerton. He lives out there, which, [my son Spencer Barney] lives out there as well and went to the same college. And it’s a college that Sophia has thrown around that if she doesn’t go to music school, then when she finishes general ed, she’ll go there.”

    Although Sophia may be willing to put music school on the back burner for her relationship, Tamra said Nico thinks moving to New York would be cool.

    “So now she’s like, ‘Oh, I think that would be so fun,’” she shared. 

    After noting that Sophia and Nico were a “super cute couple,” Tamra revealed that Sophia was working as a hostess at a restaurant and going to school, and confirmed that she was back home, living with her and Eddie.

    “She moved back into the casita. She was in there for a hot second, and then she felt like it was too far away. So I’m like, ‘Okay.’ I told Eddie, ‘She’s never moving out.’ And so now she has Nico, and we went to Big Bear last week without her, and she just slid right into the casita, moved her stuff in there.”

    While Tamra was surely happy to have her daughter back home, she admitted to being suspicious of her motivation.

    “I’m like, ‘Hmm, is this because of the boyfriend? Easy access,’” she stated.

    The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
