Tamra Judge Claims She Planned To Retire At Reunion; Says She Told Producers To “F*ck Off” When They Fired Her
It seems like Tamra Judge cannot get her story straight. One minute, she’s claiming she would have left Real Housewives of Orange County on her own because of her ex-husband Simon Barney’s cancer diagnosis. In some interviews, she’s admitting that she got fired. Other times, she’s saying she was insulted she was offered a reduced role. But, in different interviews she’s saying that didn’t happen.
Let’s be honest, Tamra would never just straight up leave this show. Yeah, she’s selling CBD and she owns CUT Fitness, but this show was a major contributor to her finances. Whether she outright fired or if she walked away after she was offered a 3-episode role, something that Andy Cohen confirmed, she did not make this decision on her own or on behalf of her family. This decision was made for her not by her, just like it has been for almost every other former Housewife. Well, except for Lisa Vanderpump and Bethenny Frankel, who are pretty much the only Housewives who actually left their shows completely of their own volition.
Tamra sure has a lot of time on her hands lately. She has been doing the most to stir up some buzz that she might be returning to the show. In a recent Us Weekly interview, “I had said that I was going to just retire. I was just going to be at the reunion [and] just say, ‘You know what? And people told me there … They’re like, ‘Listen. Don’t do that. You don’t know what the future holds. Just don’t make any rash decisions. You’re super emotional.’ So I didn’t say anything.” No one believes that. Tamra would never just walk away from this show. Absolutely no one believes that. Not for one second.
During that interview, Tamra recalled the moment when she heard that she was done with the show. She said, “I had gotten a call and I was camping and the producer said, ‘Hey, we want to talk to you.’ And I’m like, ‘What’s up?’ And they’re like, ‘Well, the network has decided to go in a different direction.’ And I’m like, ‘What?! OK, well I thought we start filming in a couple days.’ And they’re like, ‘Yeah.’ And they even said, ‘We’re shocked. We’re completely shocked at this.’”

The producers were in shock by their own decision, yet they continued with it anyway? Sure, that makes sense, Tamra.
Tamra said a producer told her, “They know that you said you’d never become a friend, so they want to give you a limited role.” That’s when Tamra told the producer, “And I’m like, ‘No, thank you.’ That’s not what I said. I said, ‘F off!’ And then I just took a week or so and I just absorbed it. … I cried and I was scared.”
Tamra, you did say that. You actually said it in many interviews in response to Vicki’s demotion.

Tamra has also claimed that Andy just told her to take some time off. Again, no one believes this. The more realistic scenario is that Tamra got the boot for her lack of storyline and expensive paycheck. In some conversation, Andy probably said something vague about how “the door is always open” for a return or that he would consider her to be a Real Housewife for life.
Tamra told Us Weekly, “He said, ‘Listen, just take a year off. Right now, everything’s so heavy. I don’t even think if you were on the show you’d be good TV. And he said, ‘Let’s revisit this the following season.’” Right.

In the one honest moment of the interview, Tamra said she is “absolutely” open to returning to the show. No kidding. She confessed, “I always wanted to go out on my terms, and yeah, I’m a little bummed about that, but whatever.” We all know she’s more than “a little bummed” about this.

Jeana Keough Thinks Bravo Needs Tamra Judge For The Drama; Jeana Feels Her Own Life “Isn’t Interesting Anymore” For Reality TV Return
As polarizing as Tamra Judge has been to the Real Housewives of Orange County fandom, it’s only fair to admit that she knows how to bring the drama. She knows how to stir the pot just right, riling up both Housewives and viewers. Will the current cast be able to bring it without Tamra’s two-faced tendencies?
Meanwhile, Tamra has been doing interview after interview. She has simultaneously slammed the show for firing her and claimed that Andy Cohen has already asked her to come back. She and Vicki Gunvalson have been doing nonstop interviews since they got the boot. Clearly, they have some time on their hands, despite their claims that they have a lot going on without RHOC.
Tamra is a natural at stirring up drama. Sure, she had zero personal storyline s(outside of exploiting her children’s personal issues and moving into a new home constantly), but she does bring a lot of controversy to the group dynamic. So, truth be told, it was surprising when the show let her go. Even RHOC OG Jeana Keough is shocked that Tamra is gone. However, she doesn’t think Tamra will be gone for long.
Jeana told HollywoodLife, “Until they start filming [again], [Bravo will] change their minds a million times. For all you know, Tamra will be back. She was always like liquid gold to [Bravo], so I find it hard to believe that [the network is] done with her.” And this is coming from the woman who got wine thrown in her face courtesy of Tamra.

Jeana predicted, “I think they’re just playing with her. They want drama. I bet she’ll be back.” She’s probably right. Most likely, Tamra had a very high paycheck and Bravo just wants to knock down that price tag a bit.
While Jeana thinks Tamra will be back in no time, Jeana has no interest in holding an orange ever again. She told the website, “Bravo talks to me all the time and they do invite me to different things to go and be on it, but it hasn’t worked out [yet]. I, of course, I would go back and do a few things. But I think [the network should move forward] with the new generation.” Plus, she barely knows anyone on the show at this point. It wouldn’t make a ton of sense for Jeana to suddenly appear.

She continued, “[My life] isn’t as interesting anymore. I mean, I travel, I date, I have fun. I still do my real estate, but you know, without any of [my] kids at home, it’s a little — I have [son] Colton [Keough], but it’s a little quieter lifestyle. So I don’t think I’m as interesting and fun. I don’t think anybody would want to watch me now. I’m better off just being a guest!”

Kristen Doute Says Scheana Marie Carried Vanderpump Rules On Her Back This Season
There are just way too many new people to keep track of on Vanderpump Rules. It makes zero sense that all of these people are considered “main cast members” on one show. Yet, here we are. At least we have Scheana Marie bridging the gap between the longtime cast members and the new people.
And in response to getting screen time from Scheana, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni constantly talk sh*t about her behind her back, even though it’s really their connections to Scheana that gave them storylines on this show. When it comes to Dayna Kathan, Scheana pretty much did nothing right, from hazing her at SUR to springing that psychic on her. So, it does make sense that Dayna isn’t her biggest fan. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, Scheana did give all of these new people what they wanted, a storyline on this show. And, she gave the viewers endless meme-worthy content, as per usual.
During an appearance on the Mention It All podcast, Kristen Doute dished on the current Vanderpump Rules season. She shared, “I just have so much respect for Scheana.”
Kristen elaborated, “I think she’s taken such a beating on this show.” She sure does. But, all publicity is good publicity, right? At least she’s getting screen time, unlike many (thirsty) people on this show. So, that’s kind of a win, right?
Kristen declared, “I feel like Scheana really carried this show on her f*cking back this season.” Pretty much.
RELATED: Kristen Doute Says This Season Of Vanderpump Rules “Really Sucked”
Kristen explained, “She was the only olive branch between the OG’s and the new cast members.”
She elaborated, “And she’s been through a lot in her love life with her marriage and her divorce. And we have like Rob [Valletta] from whatever season.”
She, “[Scheana] just got really dragged through the mud and she’s just really standing on her own two feet, stronger than ever. I respect and love the hell out of her and she loves me for who I am.” Not to mention that Stassi Schroeder and Katie Maloney left her hanging out to dry. Could that be a factor in Kristen’s closeness to Scheana?

Kristen Doute Says This Season Of Vanderpump Rules “Really Sucked”
This season of Vanderpump Rules feels like we are watching two different shows. There are way too many new people. It’s so tough to get invested in their lives. It makes even less sense that these randoms have been plopped into the same friend group as the long-time cast members. Just none of it adds up.
Sure, there were some entertaining moments this season. Nevertheless, it’s clear that the glory days of Vanderpump Rules are long gone. Even Kristen Doute isn’t feeling Season 8.
In an interview on the Mention It All podcast, Kristen commented, “We had 55 new cast members, that I really didn’t care about to get to know a lot of people who were thrown into my life when I had all these momentous moments going on.
Kristen commented, “A lot of people are like ‘Oh these new cast members are so thirsty.’ And I’m like, ‘Well, we’re all on a reality show.’ Are we not al la little thirsty to be on TV? Let’s be honest.” Well, she’s not wrong. Say what you want about Kristen, but she seems to have a good sense of perspective on all this.
RELATED: Kristen Doute Shades New Vanderpump Rules Cast: “I’m On A Show With You & Don’t Even Know Your Last Name”
Kristen said, “I’m never against having fresh blood or new people coming on the show. In a sense, it’s a bit essential because it helps kind of keep the story moving. But, also, that many people in one second, I just don’t care.” SAME HERE, KRISTEN. SAME HERE. Who are they?
She continued, “I just don’t think they were integrated very well.” She explained, “I think [it might have worked] with a couple of people at a time, but throwing in that many people at us… and granted they work for Lisa [Vanderpump]. I don’t work for Lisa. A lot of us didn’t work at the restaurant anymore. Other than Scheana [Marie], a lot of us didn’t get the opportunity to know them in the beginning and that was the problem.”

She also spoke for a lot of viewers when she said, “This season really sucked.”
However, Kristen might feel that way for different reasons than the best of us. She seemingly meant that it just “really sucked” for her to film.
Kristen remarked, “It didn’t suck as much as season two, which will forever live in my heart as the worst season of all time due to me.”
RELATED: Stassi Schroeder Feels Like Vanderpump Rules Should Be 2 Different Shows- 1 With The OG Cast & Another With The New Cast Members
In case anyone forgot, season 2 was the season when Kristen denied sleeping with Jax Taylor when she was in a relationship with Tom Sandoval (who was asleep in the next room) while Jax was supposedly trying to “win back” Stassi Schroeder. That was one of the best seasons. It was so entertaining, full of twists and turns. However, it makes sense that Kristen herself didn’t love that season.
RELATED: Kristen Doute Says Writing About Sleeping With Jax Taylor Was “The Hardest” Part Of Authoring A Book
Kristen continued, “But, this season was really hard because it felt so final at certain moments. It felt like with the girls and I, we just couldn’t get it back, and [Brian] Carter and I just couldn’t get it back. And now I know in hindsight with Carter. I that was just so much better for the both of us, especially for me.”
Kristen added, “That sounded mean, but it was just better for all parties involved.” She also revealed, “I had a lot of family stuff back home. My brother was really sick. I think I just couldn’t keep my head in the game.”
So, basically, she’s saying this season “really sucked” to film and to watch (at some points anyway).

The Vanderpump Rules Season 8 Reunion Trailer Is Here
The virtual reunion is going well on Real Housewives of Atlanta. It will be interesting to see how things play out on Vanderpump Rules since there are 17,830 cast members, some of which are couples. So now there are a dozen little squares. Some of them have two people in them because of the couples on this show. Oh, boy. This sounds like such a logistical nightmare to film. Let’s just hope it’s enjoyable to watch.
In the trailer, Scheana Marie asks “Who’s gonna be the first one to cry?” Most likely, that’s Scheana herself. However, we do see Brittany Cartwright wailing, “This is one of the hardest times I had to go through in my f*cking life.” What is she even talking about? Is she talking about her wedding and pre-wedding events that took over the season? Aren’t those events supposed to be happy? If she’s shouting over her wedding, I swear…..
Kristen Doute also yells “My life is none of your business.” That is most likely about her ex [Brian] Carter. Especially since right after that we see Stassi Schroeder say, “You’re a liar,” which is a sentiment she’s shared about Kristen many times over.
Danica Dow is hopefully going to put Brett Caprioni in his place since she says “The way that you talked about her like ‘Oh, if I f*cked her.'” The rest of that sentence cuts off, but the way that Brett and Max Boyens talked about Dayna Kathan this season was cringeworthy at best. The same can be said for them talking shit about Scheana for a storyline.
Someone who never rocks the boat, Tom Schwartz, might be getting a little messy this time around. He asks, “Should we go there?” Then Lala Kent (who has no story outside of berating Raquel Leviss) tells him, “I think you should shut up.” Then, Schwartz declares, “I’m gonna go for it.” I hope this is as intriguing as it seems. But probably won’t be, but I’m hoping.
RELATED: Check Out Photos Of The Vanderpump Rules Reunion Looks For Season 8
At one point, Tom Sandoval says, “I’ve never had anybody do more f*cked up things to me in my entire f*cking life. This has to be about Jax Taylor. He’s the worst “friend” of all time. Charli Burnett attempts to take a dig at Jax when she says “I don’t even know this like 50-year-old man.” Jax comes through with the condescending, “Know your role, sweetie.” That’s when Lisa Vanderpump steps in to say, “Jax, shut up.”
James Kennedy says “You use everybody because you’re a piece of shit.” Considering his biggest battle this season was against his own demons, it’s easy to wonder who this is about. Could he be jumping on the “I hate Jax” bandwagon? Is he denouncing Max and Brett for acting like f*ckboys? Is he talking about his ex-friend Logan Noh, who is constantly dehydrated for camera time?
RELATED: Jax Taylor Thinks A Virtual Vanderpump Rules Reunion Would Be “Frustrating” Because He “Has A Lot To Say”
To close out the trailer, Andy Cohen asks Max, “Is there anyone else you want to fess up to messing around with?” After Max shares his answer, everyone’s mouths hang open. James declares, “Oh my god, this is ridiculous.”

Real Housewives Of New York Recap: Sins That Won’t Wash Away
This show … I just can’t get enough of Real Housewives Of New York! From Leah McSweeney instructing Tinsley Mortimer to go gangster – or “Cardi Llama” on Dorinda Medley; to Ramona Singer‘s condom situations, to the Russian baths with ginger vodka and Luann de Lesseps‘ bush coming back to haunt her. RHONY is the glimmer of unstoppable hope for Real Housewives everywhere. May you never change, no matter how far you stray uptown.
So on that note, Leah, Luann, and Tinsley are all sick after their day at the orchards. Well, I think we know where Coronavirus started! The Countesses’ cough. This is an unlikely trifecta for a brunch date, Luann is a surprisingly good foible for Leah and Tinsley. Also Luann looks phenomenal. She is literally aging backwards as she struts up to the table like someone told her the sidewalk was a cabaret stage. All the world’s a stage, darlings!
Tinsley is late, and when she arrives, she is distraught. Is Tinsley every any other way? Dale Mercer clearly didn’t warn Tinsley that her face would freeze this way, because it has.
Tinsley is upset about Dorinda, and honestly she should be. Dorinda has attacked every facet of Tinsley’s life and it is just so unwarranted. Even Luann and Leah, who really love Dorinda, agree that she is so so out of line when it comes to her vendetta. Leah thinks this originated with Dorinda’s jealousy that Tinsley was born with a silver spoon and takes it for granted. Leah advises Tinsley to “get gangster” by telling Dorinda to stay the fuck out of her life and leave her alone – or else! Or else what? Tinsley will tell Dale? Cry? Swat at her with a Birkin, then run and hide?
RELATED – Real Housewives Of New York Recap: A-MAZE-ING
Luann just wants Tinsley to understand that although they may be bitches, they are not dogs, so she should stop communicating in dog whistle pitch. According to Luann the problem is that when Tinsley gets upset she unravels, and starts squealing, which then gets Dorinda even more riled up… Tinsley leaps out of her chair and squeals to show she agrees with this assessment.
See, here’s the thing: this is all more excuses for Dorinda’s behavior. She’s a twatty bitch who needs to stop. Leah is right that Tinsley needs to put Dorinda in her place, but Tinsley won’t. Which is why Leah proposes a Plan B – they do an intervention. Preferably someplace where everyone is relaxed like a spa! A genius idea! (NOT)
Furthermore Leah is depressed after the wine tour becuase Dorinda was such a nightmare, then Sonja Morgan barfed on the bus, probably on Tinsley’s shoes. No wonder Tinsley feels so rejected. Leah likes crazy, but she’s not sure likes things that crazy, and thinks they need to start sorting some of these issues out.
Meanwhile, across town, Ramona is forcing Dorinda and Sonja to exercise with an extra from the GI Jane movie. This is not what the extremely hungover Sonja and Dorinda need. They need lunch – eggs ala francaise and hair of the dog bloody Marys. But Ramona wants to do sit-ups to get the blood flowing, and the gossip. Afterwards Ramona questions Dorinda about why she’s so angry with Tinsley. Dorinda prophesies that Tinsley is immature and constantly playing the victim. Ramona believes Tinsley is emotionally stunted, which can be irritating, but the true problem is that Dorinda is victimizing Tinsley. I agree with Ramona.
RELATED – Dorinda Medley Says Tinsley Mortimer Has Never Owned Anything
The irony is that for all Dorinda’s complaining that Tinsley is stuck in a past and can’t move forwards, this is exactly the problem in Dorinda’s life! Dorinda visits a life coach, who let’s be frank – is really a therapist that rich women can claim is not a therapist, so they feel less bad about their insipid problems. Anyway, Dorinda’s problem is she never mourned Richard, but instead just pretended everything was fine, like in a coma. One day she woke up — and unfortunately it was next to John. Now Dorinda has to finally confront the reality that her marriage is over and she’s been living on Sonja’s turf in a powder keg of disintegrating memories, unable to grow.
If we think this revelation is gonna change Dorinda’s behavior, we’re quite wrong.
Leah hosts all the ladies at the infamous Russian Baths downtown. Sure, it’s not the glossiest and chicest spa in town, but they serve ginger vodka, lunch with carbs, and will beat you with tree branches until your cellulite cowers in fear. Sounds good to me! It’s obvious that Leah chose this place in part to scandalize these uptight bitches, and it works. Dorinda is traumatized by going anywhere near Canal Street, and the last time Luann was there it was to check in with her probation officer. Tinsley refuses to leave her jewelry with the front desk and claims she even sleeps in her hoops. Oh, please!
It turns out that this is where Russian mobsters bring their mistresses, and Lord knows what else, so Ramona probably has a good chance of gettin a date here. Ergo she is optimistic! Until they see the hats, which look like little cotton condoms. I love this place.
After the hats, and the sauna, there is Mother Nature’s revenge massage as hot men literally whacked their asses with branches until they could take no more. Luann loved it. Sonja feels revitalized (and horny). Bush whacking is their thing. Ramona would like something far more genteel and elegant, perhaps a traditional massage with True Renewal massage oil from an attractive, established older gentleman?
Tinsley refused to participate because it’s “icky.” Also Dale told her never to trust strange men holding foliage. I mean, what if they’re forrest monsters who will steal her soul before trapping her in a mason jar? Dorinda thinks she conceived a baby.
Following the spa treatments comes lunch, but when there is ample time to talk, problems arrive in this group. Ramona, who is embarking upon an late-in-life career as socialite and It Girl, proposes that they all go to Newport, RI for a classy beach trip. “Ramona” and “classy” go together about as well as the words “Ramada” and “Five Star” Maybe as far as Ramona panning a luxury vacation goes, it’s the thought that counts?
Leah decides they cannot possibly go away together with so many unresolved issues. Everyone looks at her blankly like ‘what unresolved issues?’ Finally Leah spells it out that Dorinda is heinous to Tinsley and after much prodding Tinsley announces that she respects Dorinda and hopes they can start over.
That’s when Ramona throws herself on a pickle spear: she confronts Dorinda about her rages, and states that when Dorinda is angry she lashes out so intensely it’s almost unforgivable. Like basically accusing Tinsley of being a yacht girl, bought and paid for with jewelry and shoes. Even though Tinz was born a rich girl and will die one – even if she uses all her silver spoons to feed dogs liver pate or for a spoon percussion instrument.
Dorinda yells that Ramona has no leg to stand on since she also goes for the jugular and has no tact. Dorinda wants examples of her creuly and Ramona is armed and ready to remind her of throwing Luann’s mugshot in her face during their trip to Cartagena. That does not count – everyone blocked that trip out!
The spa day ends with tension and annoyance as Dorinda and Ramona try to one-up each other over who is the biggest downer. Is this a race to the bottom? I think so!
Then we meet Leah’s sister, Sarah, who is insanely gorgeous. Seriously! Leah has been dating some pita mogul she calls “Pita Bread.” He brings her food and it’s pretty no strings attached, however she’s reconsidering him completely after she sent him a naked photo of her holding a pita over her crotch and then caught him forwarding it to a friend. That’s like preemptive revenge porn. She should dump him.
Ramona hosts a party for mature classy women looking for sisterhood and soulmates, to mingle and chat. She is the upper east side Oprah now. Pinot solves all the world’s ills of women who feel disenfranchised from other wealthy divorces. And this is multi-level marketing where the product is your friends?
Ramona also invited Dorinda and Sonja becuase clearly she has not looked up the word classy in the dictionary lately, and also wanted Bravo to pay for the drinks.
Elyse Slaine bizarrely asks Ramona if she keeps condoms in her nightstand. Why? Ramona does not, in fact, have them but that’s because they got all used up by an indefatigable suitor named Viagara, who once came to stay 3 times in one night. Ramona also has ‘one of those things you stir chicken with…’ Ew.
Sonja wasn’t here for this conversation, which was a missed opportunity, but she did bring Ramona a dress — a Sonja Morgan New York sample size in a 10, to make up for the one Ramona ripped trying to get on. Also this is revenge. At the spa Ramona told Sonja she needed to lose ten pounds. Now Sonja is repaying the favor by informing everyone that Ramona is ready for My 600 Pound Life. Is Dr. Now single?
Sonja is a Sonja Morgan New York sized M, thank you very much, therefore she does not need to diet! When clothes are being sized by S, M, or L you know they are very sophisticated, expensive, and worthy of an Upper East Side ladies night where everyone stands around spewing pleasantries! Well, everyone ‘cept Dorinda!
I don’t even remember what set these two off, but Ramona suspected Dorinda wouldn’t even come after their blowup at the Russian Baths. Dorinda was trying to put everything behind them, as is their way, and have a nice time playing the role of Mrs. Medley. But Dorinda is always there, three sheets to the wind, lurking just below her collarbone; so before she can stop herself Ramona and Dorinda are rehashing the spa fight.
Dorinda thinks Ramona is a hypocrite who has no business pointing out that anyone else is nasty to their friends. Of course then Sonja leaps in to back Dorinda’s case with supporting evidence: just the day before Ramona fat shamed her at the spa and made her cry. Ramona thinks Dorinda needs to stop acting like a Real Housewife Of New York in front of her real friends. Doesn’t Dorinda know to leave that at the door? She doesn’t have to act like a bitch all the time just because she plays one on TV.

Ramona decides Dorinda needs to leave, just as Dorinda declares she’s leaving. Elyse tries desperately to get them to stay and work things out, but winds up following a shouting Dorinda and Sonja into the hallway as they are trailed by Ramona, also shouting. Then Dorinda is bawling that no one understands what she goes through – especially not that spoiled brat Tinsley who needs to grow up and respect her elder, Richard. Richard told Tinsley she can’t go to the party in that ridiculous depressed Princess Leia hair-do, but Tinsley is just whines, whines, whines and making her parents feel like they failed at raising her with values.
Then Elyse ushers them all back inside the party to avoid the neighbors being subjected to this mess, and Dorinda cries all the way back into the living room while Ramona nods sympathetically that she understands Dorinda is going through a low time and needs her fiends. Sonja makes a beeline for the snack table to inhale some canapĂ©s, because she never lets an appetizer go to waste – that’s just not who she is. Ramona’s real fiends stand around, plastered to the walls with fear, wondering how in the hell they wound up below Canal Street when they aren’t even trying to have a lesbian marriage.
