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.
