Tamra Judge claimed Emily Simpson exposed the FBI allegations regarding Ryan Boyajian “weeks” before Tamra did at Katie Ginella’s party on Real Housewives of Orange County. She also addressed the paparazzi dispute between Katie and Heather Dubrow, and she discussed her drama with Ryan’s girlfriend Jennifer Pedranti, Shannon Beador, and Vicki Gunvalson.
On a recent RHOC episode, an overserved Tamra claimed Ryan was raided by the FBI amid an investigation into an alleged gambling scheme. Recently, Ryan suggested he’s suing Tamra after she alleged on Watch What Happens Live that he stole money from a Dodgers player.
On the So Bad It’s Good podcast, Tamra denied that she walked into Katie’s party knowing she would expose the FBI allegations.
“No,” she said. “That was the martini talking … a lot of us had known about the FBI situation for months. It had been kind of circulating [for six months]. Houses were raided by the FBI and so we knew about it.”
“And I wasn’t gonna say anything about it because it’s really sticky to get involved in legal stuff, and they didn’t show it, but Emily was in my courtyard weeks ago on an episode and she brought it up,” revealed Tamra, who claimed that a Bravo fan account “exposed” the allegations about eight months ago. “So we talked about that a little bit, but it [wasn’t] actually aired.”
So when Tamra attended Katie’s party, she assumed the “cat was already out of the bag.” She also claimed that she and her husband Eddie had a conversation in which he told her not to give “douche” and “slimy” Ryan “anything” since he’s “never gonna change.” He also called Ryan a “little b**ch.”
Reacting to Jennifer’s recent shade on social media, Tamra told her to “kick rocks,” and she claimed she’s making “all the newbie mistakes” by not addressing her issues with Tamra one-on-one.
“She doesn’t have much to say. She doesn’t have much to offer. If it wasn’t for Ryan and his, you know, lifestyle, she probably wouldn’t be on the show more than one season,” said Tamra. “Your man looks like a douchebag. He gets caught in many lies.”
Regarding her past fight with Shannon at Gina‘s dinner, Tamra claimed they didn’t show how Shannon “started” things before Tamra yelled at her. In a different moment, Shannon allegedly said something “really nasty” to Tamra, but it wasn’t shown.
Tamra alleged that Shannon needs to do a “lot of work” and “apologizing” before they can reconcile.
As for Shannon’s ‘butt dial’ call, which Tamra allowed to be recorded by cameras, who were in the house at the time, Tamra suggested that crew members in production told her to “keep [the call] open.”
Tamra also reacted to Ryan’s alleged insinuations that Eddie isn’t a dude’s dude.
“He doesn’t have hair plugs and take steroids,” said Tamra, seemingly addressing Ryan.
She then mentioned Katie’s issues with Heather over the claim that Katie had proof Heather called the paparazzi on herself. According to Tamra, Katie said she told Gina about it “months before” filming, and Gina advised Katie to “bring it up” because it’s “funny” and will “secure [Katie’s] job.”
Regarding her drama with Vicki – who recently claimed that Tamra’s daughter doesn’t speak to her because she won’t leave the show – Tamra said she hasn’t told “a**hole” Vicki the full story of what happened with her daughter because she doesn’t “trust” Vicki.
