Gretchen Rossi called out former castmate Tamra Judge amid reports of a potential class-action lawsuit. She claimed the Real Housewives of Orange County star has been “getting away” with harming people “for years,” and she has “no remorse” as she “destroy[s] your character” and “livelihood.” The alum also shared why she’s no longer “stay[ing] silent.”
Earlier this week, Kelly Dodd suggested that she, Vicki Gunvalson, and Gretchen should pursue a class-action lawsuit against Tamra, who has – according to many castmates – defamed their character and committed slander on national TV. Current castmate Ryan Boyajian recently said he’s suing Tamra, who claimed on Watch What Happens Live that he stole money from a Dodgers player.
On her Instagram Stories, Gretchen addressed the situation.
“I think it’s sad that [Tamra’s] been getting away with harming so many people for years now,” said Gretchen, via @therealhousewiveszone on Instagram. “I believe the only thing she has ever been loyal to is her paycheck.”
“In my experience, she makes up horrible lies about people with no remorse of how it affects their actual lives. She will destroy your character, your livelihood, your businesses, etc. under the guise of claiming she is just a ‘truth teller,’” Gretchen continued. “Finally [it] seems the audience realizes it’s anything but the truth … It’s gross & not ok.”
Gretchen shared why she’s no longer staying silent.
“I have stayed silent for the last several years, but these latest remarks about Ryan really triggered me. She makes categorically false statements about him, and then when he finally stands up for himself (to protect his livelihood & reputation) she calls him a little b**ch! It’s such a BS double standard,” she said. “She can’t go after the men and not expect them to speak up! She did this all the time to [my husband] Slade & now she is doing the exact same thing to Ryan.”
She suggested that Tamra will go on the warpath against Ryan like she has done with others.
“Try speaking the actual truth about her (God forbid you do that) because from my experience she will go on a witch hunt to try & destroy you,” said Gretchen. “In my opinion she is evil, manipulative, & conniving. I saw exactly who she was back then & was never afraid to call her out – It seems the audience is finally realizing what I always knew about her.”
In another Instagram Story, Gretchen was asked if she’d ever return to RHOC.
“I never say never but it would have to be a really good offer for me to want to go back & disrupt my peace,” she said.
