Instagram Paid Tamra Judge For Her Post-Plastic Surgery Posts: “We Get A Lot Of Things”

Real Housewives of Orange County star, Tamra Judge, responded to fan questions during the Q&A of her and Teddi Mellencamp‘s Two T’s in a Pod live show.

I asked the question that’s lived rent-free in my head for months … “How much did you actually pay for, vs how much did your doctor comp you for all the publicity you gave him?”

It pays to be a Real Housewife:

Tamra explained, “At this level on this platform, we get a lot of things.”

Heather Dubrow – who is married to the famed plastic surgeon – Dr. Terry Dubrow, joked, “I’m really doing this wrong.”

Dolores entered the discourse. The press the doctor got is “worth more than the CO2″ treatment. What you put out there and the play he got on that was worth thousands and thousands. He should be paying you.”

Tamra admitted, getting freebies wasn’t her intention. “The thing is, that wasn’t even my plan.” In fact, Heather encouraged Tamra to keep the healing process to herself. Fancy Pants told “her to stay off social media.” She begged, “Please stop.”

“Let me just tell you,” continued Tamra, “I did my first video looped out of my mind. The next day, “So many people sent me DMs, so I’m like, ‘Ok. Let’s do this.'”

“I have no shame in my game. Here’s day one, here’s day two. Then, people were like, ‘Where’s your video today? I need your video today.'”

“I got 60 million views. I had so many views Instagram paid me.” The audience roared for Tamra.

*I think it’s important to note that questions to the TWOTs and their guests, Dolores Catania, Cynthia Bailey, Marysol Patton, and Heather Dubrow were pre-screened.*

In case you missed Tamra’s surgery journey:

On August 1st, the controversial Bravo TV star began her latest cosmetic journey. “Taking you all along on my journey! I visited Dr. Donald Mowlds in Newport Beach – who works alongside Dr. Ambe – for a brow lift, CO2 laser, and a blue chemical peel.”

Tamra made a point to acknowledge the previous work she had done. “Seven years ago, I had a lower facelift but skipped the upper.” With years to reflect on her choice, she compared getting a partial facelift to “painting the house but forgetting the trim.”

She documented her progress one hour after the procedure. “I don’t feel bad. My eyes are all blurry because there’s, like, Vasoline.” They removed skin from her upper right eyelid because there was a “fat pocket.” Tamra noted, “Not too much pain, honestly. But, I am on pain medicines. Talk to me at 5 in the morning.”
