Tamra Judge took aim at Vicki Gunvalson and Teresa Giudice after the women bashed her during a recent appearance on Christian Gray Snow‘s podcast.
After Vicki, 62, revealed the reason for her feud with Tamra, 56, and labeled the Real Housewives of Orange County star a “mean girl,” Tamra lashed out at her former friend for using her as “clickbait” while also shading the new podcast of Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Teresa, 52.
On the July 17 episode of My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast, Vicki was questioned about why she and Tamra cut ties.
“What it is, is who she is,” Vicki shared, via Bye Wig Hello Drama on X, formerly known as Twitter. “This year she didn’t do anything to me. Last year, it was to [Heather Dubrow]. This year, it’s to [Shannon Beador]. It’s always somebody that she’s going after and nobody will ever go after her because they’re afraid of her.”
According to Vicki, she’s “not afraid” of Tamra. Instead, she simply doesn’t want to be around “people that hurt people.”
“I’ve forgiven her and I’ve moved on. And if I see her, I’ll say, ‘Hi,’ and I’ll keep walking. I don’t want people in my life like that because she will turn on you. You can be fine and she will turn,” Vicki alleged as Teresa agreed.
“She said stuff about me and I’m like, ‘I don’t even know you, girl,” Teresa revealed, seemingly signaling to Tamra’s past shade against her and her husband, Luis Ruelas, 50, who Tamra labeled the “worst house husband” and compared to Vicki’s ex-boyfriend, Brooks Ayers, who infamously lied about his cancer diagnosis amid RHOC season 10.
Vicki went on to say that Tamra’s storyline “is going after people.”
“Nobody ever goes after her. Nobody ever talks about why her daughter [Sidney Barney] doesn’t talk to her. Nobody ever talks about her relationships. They don’t because they don’t want to go there with her,” she explained. “They just stay back.”
As for the straw that broke the camel’s back with Tamra, Vicki said it came down to the way she treated Shannon, 60, after her September 2023 DUI arrest.
“Watching how she treated Shannon this year, [it was] horrible,” Vicki stated. “We were doing the Tres Amigas show, we were having fun touring but the way she treated Shannon … I don’t like mean girls. I don’t want to be around it. I hate it. And Tamra … She’s a mean girl.”
After the clip of Vicki and Teresa’s interview was shared, a fan on X said they hoped Tamra and Vicki would never make up.
“If a person can lie about cancer that easily she’s not worth it,” they stated of Vicki’s alleged involvement in Brooks’ cancer scam, which she’s denied.
“Exactly,” Tamra replied. “My husband [Eddie Judge] has been telling me that for years.”
Another X user said, “Vicki is disgusting she’s using for clickbait.”
“Girl needs the money,” Tamra suspected.
Someone else said that it was Vicki, not Tamra, who was the “mean girl” of the two of them and Tamra agreed, 100 percent.
Another person suggested that Vicki and Teresa had to talk about Tamra on the podcast because otherwise, no one would’ve been interested.
“Lmao the only reason I watched the clip was because you were mentioned. Trust me, no one is checking for their podcasts,” they wrote.
“So I’ve heard,” Tamra replied, along with a crying-while-laughing emoji.
