Tamra Judge is breaking her silence on the divorce of her Two Ts in a Pod co-host Teddi Mellencamp. She also offered an update on her relationship with Shannon Beador and teased a big reveal on the upcoming episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion during an appearance on Tuesday night.
As she also looked ahead to season 19, revealed her favorite Real Housewives franchise, and shared her holiday plans with her husband, Eddie Judge, 51, Tamra, 57, shot down the idea of a reconciliation with Vicki Gunvalson, 62, and suggested her feud with Shannon, 60, turned into a “one-sided” storyline on season 18.
First, Tamra was asked about Teddi, who is accused of having an affair, during an interview with Us Weekly. “I cannot really share too much. This is Teddi and [ Edwin Arroyave’s] life and they’ve been married for a long time and they have four kids and I just wish her and Edwin well,” she said.
Tamra continued, “I hope that they get to work it out — however and whatever that looks like to them. I know that they’re both amazing people.”
In a separate interview, the topic turned to the upcoming RHOC reunion and Tamra’s conflict with her co-star Shannon.
“I don’t want to give anything away, [but] the reunion was actually really good. It’s about conflict and resolution, and there was definitely a lot of resolution that happened,” Tamra teased during a November 19 interview with Access Hollywood after being asked about her status with Shannon.
According to Tamra, she was actually surprised by the way the season played out, especially since she wrapped production thinking it was an “easy season to film.”
“I had no idea that it was gonna turn the way it did. People really thought that I just turned my back on Shannon, and you’ll find out [on part three of the reunion] I didn’t do that. And it was very upsetting to me because it was very one-sided,” she explained. “I don’t want to blame editing, but it was very, very one-sided, and I just walked away from it shaking my head, like, ‘What? Are we serious here?’”
While there seems to be room for Tamra and Shannon to make amends, Tamra didn’t mince words when it came to Vicki.
“No. That b*tch is dead to me,” she declared after being asked about their future.
Also regarding the future, Tamra said she doesn’t yet know for sure if she’ll be back for RHOC season 19.
“We never know who’s coming back, but if I had to guess, I would say everybody’s back,” she stated.
As she waits to hear about the potential renewal of her contract with Bravo, Tamra is staying tuned into the network.
“I binge-watch all Housewives shows,” she admitted. “I watched [The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premiere] already. I know it comes out … I’m a Housewives junkie because of the podcast … Usually, [RHOBH] is my favorite, other than [RHOC], obviously. But [RHOBH] is always good. I just love the lifestyle. I’m not really in it for the fighting, I just like the lifestyle. I’ve only seen the first episode and it was pretty good.”
Also during the interview, Tamra shared her holiday plans with Eddie.
“We’re hosting Thanksgiving at our house this year, so my family and his family are both coming over, and then [we’re] hoping to spend Christmas in Big Bear,” she revealed.
