Tamra Judge claimed Heather Dubrow confronted her for vowing to “blow s**t up” on the upcoming 20th season of the Real Housewives of Orange County. Tamra then shared how she responded, clarified her comment and hinted at dealing with “bulls**t.”
Last season, many costars called out Tamra for her various actions. But in one scene, Tamra seemingly wanted Heather to defend her, though Heather stayed true to her feelings. In a recent interview for Jeff Lewis Live, Tamra apparently vowed to blow things up on the show, presumably in retaliation for season 19.
On her podcast, By Order of the Faithfuls, Tamra shared that Heather confronted her about it.
“I just talked to Heather Dubrow,” said Tamra. “She goes, ‘I saw you said you’re gonna blow things up!’ I go, ‘I was joking!‘”
Tamra then clarified her comment.
“I [told Heather I said] it was actually my unbothered era that I’m going into for 2026. That’s my word,” she said. “[My cohost Dolores Catania] told me to think of a word for 2026. Mine is very unbothered. I’m just unbothered.”
Though Tamra didn’t name names, the star hinted that she’s dealing with “bulls**t.”
“I was joking when I said I’m gonna blow s**t up,” she reiterated. “You know, Jeff gets me going.”
“He does,” Dolores agreed. “He gets everyone going.”
“He really does,” said Tamra.
Last summer, Tamra’s costar Gina Kirschenheiter suggested that Heather has been afraid of Tamra.
“I think Heather herself even admits that there’s times that she is afraid of Tamra. I mean, are we going to sit here and pretend like Tamra’s not scary?” said Gina at the time, speaking to Decider. “But I think that Tamra is the type of person that’s very reactionary. And Tamra is the type of person that will tell you how it is directly in the moment. She gets very activated. … She goes out of bounds. I think that does scare Heather. … that’s something that Heather is just very uncomfortable with.”
“[After Tamra temporarily quit the show], she texted me basically to go f**k myself,” Gina added. “But she [shared that she was quitting] on Instagram. And [the cast was] like, ‘What?’”
