Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge admits she crosses the line and is a “problem” when she drinks, noting that she “can’t lie” when the booze flows.
Tamra Judge recently opened up to DECIDER about claims that she pushes boundaries and behaves problematic when she drinks.
While Tamra Judge admits she has “a problem” when drinking, she ultimately defended her behavior.
“Oh, I am a problem when I drink. I’m an assh*le when I drink,” Tamra said. “I just say whatever I feel like saying. I don’t lie. That’s one thing. But I just say the things that are deep down inside.”
She continued to defend her drinking, insisting that she barely touched a sip of alcohol during the second half of season 18.
“I rarely drink the rest of the season. I mean, I didn’t have to run my car into a house to say, ‘You know what? I need to stop drinking,’” Tamra said.
This all comes after Tamra’s Real Housewives Orange County co-star Jennifer Pedranti called her out for having “a problem when she drinks.”
Last month, Jennifer said that Tamra used drinking as an excuse for her bad behavior throughout season 18 of RHOC.
“It is an excuse. It’s always the excuse. And that was, that’s what was so hard for me was Shannon, like you talk about Shannon’s drinking problem, [but never acknowledge your own issue],” the 47-year-old RHOC star said in an interview with DECIDER.
She continued, “I get that it’s vastly different, but Tamra has a problem when she drinks. We all suffer the wrath of her when she drinks too much. She will say she has the awareness of it — well then, work on that. Do better.”
More recently, Jennifer dubbed Tamra a “mean drunk.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Alcohol simply brings out one's inner thoughts (whatever those may be). Truth serum with a lemon, carcass out.
What's her excuse when she is sober then?
Funny how Tamra has vehemently protested umpteen times that she is always truthful om camera. Now she claims she is only truthful when she drinks.
Maybe we need to give her several drinks and have her comment on this again so we now what the truth really is.
Vastly different?! Hardly! It’s one bad decision away from being EXACTLY the same, but just because Tamra’s inexcusable drunken behavior is not an exact replica of Shannon’s it’s to be wholly diminished and swept under the carpet? ?
No, it doesn’t work like that, sweetums. BUT don’t believe me, nope, let’s just take a gander at what the Bible says about drunkenness shall we? Cuz correct me if I’m wrong (SPOILER ALERT: I ain’t ?), it says NOTHING about hitting a house whilst drunk as being THE determining factor of whether or not a sin has been committed. So, just like whether you robbed a bank of $100,O00 or $100, you still committed robbery, YOUR sin of drunkenness remains well established under the same rubric as Shannon’s, like it or not. ?
Are you drinking 24/7 then? Cause Ahole daily
Lol ??

Only when she drinks??? I have lost so much respect for Tamra.
I never had any.
Jenn you wouldn't have a storyline without Tamra or Ryan, the first half of this season I almost forgot you were there.
That's not true; you're forgetting about her reneging on the rental that Gina hooked her up with.
she still isn't involved enough with conversations or opinions. Shes forgetable.
