RHOC's Tamra Judge Slams Gretchen as a "MAGA Liar," Tells Her She Wants Nothing From Her Amid Instagram Feud and "Likes" Post Calling the Series "The Tamra Show"

Overview

  • On August 17, Tamra Judge posted that she "should of gotten a DUI to feel compassion," a line widely read as referencing Shannon Beador’s 2023 arrest.
  • Gretchen Rossi condemned the comment as hypocritical and revisited past grievances, while Tamra replied that her post was not about Gretchen and labeled her a "MAGA Liar."
  • In a new interview, Tamra explains she temporarily quit during Season 19 filming after struggling with Teddi Mellencamp’s stage‑four brain cancer news.
  • Tamra says she had drinks and took Xanax before deciding to step away, and she credits calls from Andy Cohen and EP Alex Baskin with encouraging a one‑week pause instead of a full departure.
  • She praises Heather Dubrow for showing compassion and criticizes Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter for what she describes as a lack of empathy.
