Tamra Judge Denies 'Affair' Claim as Slade Smiley Doubles Down in RHOC Midseason Clash

No audio evidence has been released to substantiate the allegation.

Overview

  • Slade Smiley told Heather Dubrow and Emily Simpson via a sleepover FaceTime that he heard audio of Tamra Judge engaged with a musician during a studio session years ago.
  • Tamra described the circa‑2010 recording as a lighthearted, charity‑minded idea tied to the NOH8 Campaign and said she remains friends with the musician, denying any romantic relationship.
  • Gretchen Rossi said she raised the old song to note a perceived double standard, claimed she did not intend the explicit allegation to spread, and argued she refused to play the track while Heather and Emily pressed to hear it.
  • Smiley apologized for causing conflict but reiterated his assertion, and neither the purported studio recording nor any corroborating audio has been provided to the cast or public.
  • Emily relayed the sleepover conversation to Tamra, leading to an on‑camera confrontation and continued fallout on the After Show and WWHL, where Eddie Judge dismissed the claim as not true and labeled Rossi and Smiley as evil.
