In a new interview, Tamra Judge slams RHOC for their social media hate. Plus she addresses her season 18 feuds with co-stars Shannon Beador and Jennifer Pedranti.
While chatting with CJ Skyes ,host of The Weekly Scoop with CJ, Tamra Judge called out RHOC fans for saying “nasty horrible things,” about her on social media throughout season 18. She also revealed what Bravo told her about the backlash and addressed her drama with co-stars Shannon Beador and Jennifer Pedranti and whether or not they can ever be friends again.
“I think the hardest thing is, like, these people are saying such nasty horrible things … [like] calling me mean,” the RHOC star said of the fan backlash.
“One thing that Bravo told me, they’re like, ‘Don’t even worry about them,’” she continued. “‘Like they’re three percent of our viewers. Only three percent. And the loudest and the meanest.’”
The 57-year-old then said that Instagram is “so gross.”
“The comments to people and talking about people’s weight and their looks and all. It’s just death threats,” she said. “That is just gross. I think they need to change the laws.”
“I mean I obviously get pe welcome to their opinion, but who does that?” the RHOC star added. “I don’t know anybody in my circle that would ever comment or say things like what people do on Instagram these days.”
Tamra Judge also admitted that the social media hate has been getting to her.
“I’d like to say that I’m doing great. I’m not doing great. I’m doing okay. I never ever thought this season was gonna be like it played out. Never. Never. This is probably the first season ever that I’ve been so shocked by so many so many things that had happened this season. Um, the hate is real. I’m not gonna lie. But, hey, they can’t stop talking about me, so it’s not exactly a bad thing,” she shared.
The longtime RHOC star went on to address if she sees herself ever reconciling with Shannon Beador and Jennifer Pedranti.
"When it comes to Shannon, like, never say never, we have a me and Shannon have a long, long history, and that means a lot. Being friends for almost 10 years, is a lot different than a girl that I knew years ago that came into the show. I hadn't talked to her in 2 years. Like, that there's a huge difference there. I think that there was a lot of hurt and frustration on my part, and I'm not a person that gets my words out very easily," Tamra explained.
She continued, "It's a situation where things happened before we started filming. And I don't believe that everything that happened before we started filming got out. It was never really talked about on the show and in detail anyways. People assumed that she got a DUI, and I just stopped talking to her and everything. That's not what happened. And I think at the reunion, we clear some of that up."
"Then when it comes to Jen, like, I just really don't even care to talk about her," she added.
When asked if she thinks that she was too harsh on Jenn and Shannon throughout season 18 of RHOC, Tamra said, "I mean, being harsh on somebody, I don't think it's ever justified. I think with Shannon, I could have been a little bit softer, but my pain came it was pain and frustration that you guys were seeing because what happened off camera was not being shown, and it was not it you know, suddenly, I was the bad person when I didn't do anything wrong."
"I don't wanna give too much away because it you know, this is a 10 year friendship, so it's very complex, and there's a lot to it," she added before addressing Jenn. "When it comes to Jenn, I never really I didn't do anything to her this season. I got into a fight with her boyfriend about stuff he was saying about me and my family on social media and on podcasts. When it came to her, she was way more harsh to me. I actually stuck up for her in the, you know, almost the entire season when Emily was coming for her. Gina was coming for her. I tried to help her out. Like, I was always there for her. And then when, you know, the Ryan stuff happens, that changed everything."
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
