RHOC OG Vicki Gunvalson reveals why she cut former co-star and best friend Tamra Judge out of her life for good.

The OG of the OC appeared on the July 17 episode of Teresa Giudice‘s Turning the Tables podcast, where she discussed why she is no longer friends with Tamra Judge.

To start, Vicki Gunvalson explained why she no longer talks to Tamra Judge.

“Tamara’s like a mean girl. She’s a mean girl. Beautiful on the outside, mean girl. And I just don’t wanna be around it,” Vicki said. “I don’t want to be around people that hurt people. And that’s my choice as a human. And I’ve forgiven her and moved on. And if I see her, I’ll say hi, and I’ll keep walking. I don’t want people in my life like that. ’cause she will turn on you.”

Vicki then noted that Tamra goes after everyone, but no one goes after her because they’re afraid of her wrath.

“She didn’t do anything to me. Last year, it was to Heather [Dubrow]; this year, it’s Shannon; the year before [ it was someone else]. It’s always somebody that she’s going after, and nobody will ever go after her because they’re afraid of her. Terrified,” the OG of the OC said.

The 62-year-old continued, “Her only storyline is going after other people. Nobody ever goes after her. Nobody ever talks about why her daughter doesn’t talk to her. Nobody ever talks about her relationships. You know that they don’t because they don’t wanna go there with her.”

She also admitted that Tamra’s treatment of Shannon Beador following her DUI was the last straw for her.

“Watching how she treated Shannon this year [was the straw that broke the camel’s back],” Vicki explained. “And I see it in every single cast member of every single season. She goes after somebody else. It’s like clockwork. And so it wasn’t one person; it’s like God spoke to me and said, you don’t need that in your life. If you get too close to her again, something will happen. And so now I don’t wanna be around it.”

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Totally agree, She's a witch in disguise.

Vicki isn’t wrong.

Tamra, like a few other HWs from other franchises, that will remain nameless, uses vitriol on others as her only reason to stay on the show. She gives a brief mention of something, then goes right back to slamming her chosen target. It's never about any issue that she actually brings to the table that affects her life. Her storylines are always, 90% bashing a fellow castmate. That's why I will never support her. That type of vicious bullying is not enjoyable TV IMO, and makes her look like a s$&& person.

Kinda reminds me of Margaret Josephs...that's the strategy they use to keep the heat off themselves.

If Vicki thought that re-establishing her friendship with Tamra would get her on the show full time, she would do it on her knees. If Tamra thought that re-establishing her friendship with Vicki would get her more camera time and attention, should would do it on her knees. These women switch friends and enemies whenever they think it is in their narcissistic interest to do so.
Zap It July 19, 2024 - 11:18 am
so true
CFF July 24, 2024 - 8:49 am
Tamra doesn't need more camera time and just like Carlos King said "Tamra Saved the show" Vicki & Shannen are jealous of Tamra's success. TWOT is a #1 podcast weekly and Tamra's successful CBD gummies line. Vicki & Shannen depend on the show's money and their live Tres amiga's show.

Is that you Tamra?
Zap It July 18, 2024 - 9:29 am
Vicki is spot on. She's known Tamra for a long time. Tamra is that bully/gossip in every school and in every office that people suck up to because they don't want to be that vicious person's next victim. (Secretly, they wish the bully would keel over and die). Bring Vicki back and bring Kelly Dodd back...Kelly will tear Tamra Judge a new one. She won't know what hit her. ?
Champagne Hangover July 18, 2024 - 10:48 am
A Kelly/Tamra showdown would be EPIC and my money would be ALL on Kelly. AND we would have the added bonus of a Kelly/Heather smack down! That would be GLORIOUS!!! In fact, bring back Noella for that occasion, tag team style with that new Katie chick bringing up the rear as back up! YAAS! Now that is some quality tv viewing right there! Yes siree Bob! ??? https://media3.giphy.com/media/14x8zC0UvJtKpO/giphy-downsized-small.mp4

It really would, but I think that ship has sailed for Kelly. It was always very apparent to me that AC absolutely loathed her.
Champagne Hangover July 18, 2024 - 4:08 pm
Oh yeah. There’s no hope of it happening even though the franchise, like just about all the others, is circling the drain. ? Bravo seem hell bent on hammering the last nail of fakery in each coffin. I rather hope they get sued into oblivion before they get the chance, but they likely won’t. They will just settle and churn out more trash before they inevitably self destruct…and that will likely take YEARS. ?

Kelly is unstable.

And the rest of those heifers are…what? ????
CFF July 18, 2024 - 2:36 pm
Vicki Lies, Vicki is just bitter Tamra sided with Teddy. Vicki played along with her ex and his fake cancer story, she is even on tape saying she watch him get Chemo lol.
CFF July 24, 2024 - 8:43 am
who went along with a fake Cancer storyline?
Copacop July 18, 2024 - 10:36 am
Never liked Tamra...
Zap It July 18, 2024 - 11:53 am
Really, there was never anything to like. She's always been so mean. But I will say, she looks good and I like her fashion style. Damn.
Copacop July 18, 2024 - 12:25 pm
Her shoes are as hideous as Britneys are... Lol... Spears wears the worst boots that make her short squatty legs look shorter and Tamra always has ugly shoes on unless she is working out... She does look good though...
Champagne Hangover July 18, 2024 - 1:55 pm
I’ve noticed the ugly shoes too. WTH?
Zap It July 18, 2024 - 2:46 pm
I'm going to look now
Copacop July 18, 2024 - 4:48 pm
I just tried looking and the first shoes were Valentinos so not those... Lol... When I see them this season Ill point them out...

Too funny... Watching OC right now and Tamaras purple interview outfit is horrendous!!...WTF?!?...
Enigma Wrapped in a Miracle July 18, 2024 - 3:51 pm
I think they used to call them "sensible shoes", but yeah ... https://media0.giphy.com/media/11U4Aj0WMoruyA/giphy-downsized-small.mp4
Copacop July 18, 2024 - 4:46 pm
Ha!!!...
michers July 18, 2024 - 6:49 pm
lol!!! I used to be a Tam fan .. but since she’s rejoined , she’s constantly mean , negative , against someone like they committed a crime when it’s petty , tries to rally others to join her side . It’s too much . What is the point of a friend group filming a show if it’s not a friendly group lol?? -(At least most of the time ) I get women together a lot can get catty but this is overkill .Ugh these bitches . That type of filming has trickled into other franchises . I’m tired lol
Zap It July 19, 2024 - 11:17 am
Yeah, me too. I know some here don't like Dubai but I really like that show because they fight but they're not vicious. Not yet anyway. Also, those women and their hair and makeup...wow!! I'm impressed?. The fashion too. ( it helps that I also love Caroline Stanbury from Ladies of London...and Ayan is outrageous). I hope they don't cancel it.
michers July 19, 2024 - 11:58 am
I am into Dubai also ! But Brooks is working my last nerve. I loved Ladies of London !! Should’ve been RHOL lol
Zap It July 19, 2024 - 9:43 pm
Right? Brooks IS the villain this season! She is really working it. And she is really spilling some tea on her former BFF, Taleen. As for Dubai culture, I'm interested that these ladies all say that it's so safe there. My son's friend was raised in Abu Dhabi and she says that it's true that you have to be respectful to anyone who is an Emirati. I still can't believe that Ladies of London was cancelled. I was so sad when Annabelle Neilson died. And I was intrigued by Caroline Flemming's story. I'll have to go back and watch all of it again!
michers July 22, 2024 - 2:12 pm
I like Taleen and she articulates , so far, what she wants to say / how she feels right to the source . Brooks is jelly !!!!! She wants to keep division amongst the group . She’s the Marge lmao
MinnyMM July 24, 2024 - 1:49 am
Brooks is jealous of T's new-formed friendship with Stanton...
michers July 24, 2024 - 4:39 pm
Very much ! It’s kinda weird at their ages . Don’t you want one of your bffs to be friends with everyone ?? I mean why get her on the show then ?
ontoiran July 19, 2024 - 7:55 am
I can’t get past the evil bitch behind those clothes to even notice. She gets a lot of help from injectables and fake hair.
Zap It July 19, 2024 - 11:13 am
?
CFF July 18, 2024 - 9:22 am
Vicky is 100% lying and a known Liar. She knew her ex didn't have cancer. Tamra has given a play by play of the situation from the moment it happened. and her story hasn't changed.
MinnyMM July 24, 2024 - 1:54 am
I think Vicky has turned herself around, that looked evident when she was on her last season as a friend. Re Brooks, that's a whole other story. Vicky was in love, she wanted to believe him, and the more ppl talked negative about him she ignored it...
CFF July 29, 2024 - 11:51 am
I think she has gotten better, but the lies havent.
Sharona July 18, 2024 - 9:15 am
These ladies need to stop saying they're terrified of Tamra. That's exactly what she wants.
michers July 18, 2024 - 12:33 pm
Exactly . Afraid for what ? They can easily poke her right back with examples Vicki said . Only thing I can think of is job security - go against her and lose job? Idk . Someone needs to humble her ass though .
holy cannoli July 18, 2024 - 8:49 am
Vicki isn’t lying , it’s true.
CFF July 19, 2024 - 8:51 am
no its not.
holy cannoli July 19, 2024 - 9:15 am
My opinion is that she isn’t lying. You don’t agree. It’s all good. Have a good day.
