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.
