RHOC star Tamra Judge reveals that she is “on the spectrum” and how that affects her attitude and relationships with others including her Bravo co-stars.
Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge recently announced that she is on the spectrum. The longtime reality TV star revealed this news on her and Teddi Mellencamp’s Two Ts in a Pod podcast.
According to Tamra Judge, she learned via therapy that she is on the spectrum, which is why she has a hard time being empathetic towards others feelings.
“Well, I just did my first therapy session,” Tamra told her podcast co-host Teddi Mellencamp in a clip shared on Instagram.
She continued, “I found out something pretty big about myself that I didn’t know.”
“What? Now, I need to know,” Teddi interjected.
“I am on the spectrum,” the RHOC star announced.
“Oh my gosh, damn,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum reacted.
“Don’t make me cry. My biggest problem is working through trauma. Trauma that I had in my life. I have a hard time with empathy and feeling other people’s feelings,” Tamra explained tearfully.
Naturally, RHOC fans had quite a lot of opinions on Tamra’s news. Most fans called BS on Tamra’s diagnosis and claimed she once again making excuses for her bad behavior. Some fans even claimed that it would be more believable if Tamra was diagnosed with narcissism considering her behavior.
“More likely on the narcissism spectrum,” one fan commented.
A second wrote, “Oh please! And the tears again! Being on the spectrum does not lead to the behavior she has displayed throughout!”
“This is an insult to anyone on the spectrum. What a load of crap,” a third added.
“Diagnosing autism is a lengthy process, it doesn’t happen in one therapy session ? she’s full of it,” someone else wrote while another added, “Omg! Hilarious! Autism does not look like this. Diagnosed with narcissism yes. Borderline personality disorder yes. Autism no!”
“Get the violins out ? ? Tamra has an excuse for her treacherous behaviour,” somebody else noted.
Another fan commented, “What a great excuse… Please.. it takes a very long time to come to that conclusion. One therapy session isn’t gonna do it so stop trying to get people to feel bad for you after you’ve been so mean to people.”
Someone else shared, “Oh my gosh stop it. First she was a born again Christian now she’s on the spectrum. Just wow.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
