Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County have been abuzz after the season finale ended with Tamra Judge being accused of leaking information to bloggers. Now, a new report claims that the phone call the ladies received with the information was a setup designed to make Tamra look bad.

As viewers know, the episode ended with Gina Kirschenheiter, Shannon Beador, and Jennifer Pedranti speaking to someone who claimed Tamra had been leaking storylines from the show amid filming. Tamra has since joked about this on social media by adding “cybersecurity hacker” to her list of jobs in her Instagram bio. 

While it seems that most of the RHOC cast believes Tamra did this, a new report from Radar Online suggests that it was all part of a scheme to take down the podcast host. An insider said, “The entire phone call at the end of the episode of RHOC was a complete setup to try to make Tamra look bad to wrap the season and throw blame back in her direction.”

The person continued, “The timing is super suspect that she says she’s worried about retaliation and suddenly, a few weeks later, a caller with a ‘ghost face’ like voice changer calls and says she was talking to bloggers and outing storylines.” The insider went on to mention that the examples the caller cited were filmed in public spaces, which means that anyone in close proximity to the filming could have had access to the same information. 

They then said, “Just as Gretchen and Katie [Ginella] are in the throes of scandals the entire season, both of whom have drama with Tamra at one point or another during the season, suddenly, as the season is FINISHED, there’s a FILMED phone call to try and out Tamra and make her look bad.”

The person went on to say that the claims against Tamra “weren’t even bad.” They said, “It’s not like the caller said, ‘Oh, Tamra’s been saying hateful things.’ This was just a ploy to try to make her look bad.”

They continued, “None of the RHOC storylines appeared online before the season, for the most part. So if she was ‘outing’ these things to bloggers, where were they?”

From there, the insider stated that Tamra will be vindicated at the reunion, saying, “It just doesn’t add up and, as fans will see at the reunion, the plot to make her look bad falls, sadly for those who dislike her, flat.”

Part one of the RHOC season 19 reunion airs on November 6.
