Tamra Judge suggested that she was moving forward with a lawsuit against Gretchen Rossi while appearing on Jeff Lewis‘ podcast on Friday.
As the 58-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star denied leaking information to bloggers, addressed her castmates’ reunion attack, and admitted that she doesn’t trust any of her co-stars, Tamra confessed to being “confused” by the mysterious finale phone call, named the one person who was there for her amid Teddi Mellencamp‘s brain cancer diagnosis, and answered a question about whether or not she was planning to sue Gretchen, 47.
“Stay tuned,” Tamra teased on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live on November 21 when pressed about the potential legal action.
After being accused of leaks, Tamra said she’d never do such a thing.
“That’s a no. No. What would I get out of it?” she wondered. “Someone on the cast I won’t name said, ‘You do it so bloggers are nice to you.’ And I said, ‘What f*cking blogger’s nice to me?’ I have like three, and they have like 200 followers.”
“It’s ridiculous,” she added of the claims.
Looking back at the reunion, Tamra admitted, “It felt like an attack,” as she revealed she was immobile for days.
“The first two days after the reunion, I couldn’t even move … I just sat there … I couldn’t function. I just couldn’t believe what was going on or what had happened. So it was tough,” she shared. “Even two weeks after, it was still in my head. I’m like, ‘Why? But why? Why did this happen?’”
“It was hard, especially from certain people on the cast that I have been very kind to and didn’t know where this was coming from … it’s going after my character and [saying] that I can’t be trusted,” she continued.
According to Tamra, it’s her castmates whom she can’t trust, not the other way around.
“I don’t trust any of these girls I’m on the show with — not one of them,” she declared. “It’s the housewife way. You know if something comes up, they’re gonna throw it out there. That’s what they’re paid to do. So it’s very hard to trust somebody.”
Regarding the finale phone call, which came from an unidentified source who suggested she was behind the season 19 leaks, Tamra said it was “very, very, very confusing.”
“The whole thing is confusing to me … There’s a lot of things I just don’t understand,” she explained.
As for whether it was the women staging a take-down, Tamra wondered what their reason would’ve been.
“I didn’t even really do anything this season to even be taken down. I feel like I was in a place of sadness because filming and what was going on with Teddi, I was just really, really sad and devastated, and I just kind of felt like nobody was there for me,” she recalled. “Every time I went into a scene, everyone was going to poke at me because it’s like, ‘Oh, poke at Tamra, she’s gonna explode. She’s gonna give us good TV.’ And I wasn’t in the spot. I was in a spot where I just wanted people to hug me and say, ‘It’s gonna be okay.’”
Though most of her castmates weren’t supportive of her when she needed it the most, Tamra did acknowledge Heather Dubrow, 56, saying, “Heather was there for me. She would call me.”
