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.

Another excuse! How many different ones have we had over the years?
And with this one, she can demand special accommodation from Bravo for her behavior under the ADA.
Oh good one!
Uneffingreal ! Oh so her usual excuses aren’t working anymore so now in her 50’s she’s pushing this ? That’s bullshit . And , unfair to people who are on spectrum living their lives without being aholes !
A disgusting new low….even for her
Well she's on something…??
Lack of empathy, Lack of compassion, Lack of understanding, Lack of humanity DOES NOT equal a spectrum. Fire Tamra, no more next seasons. . .Adds nothing more to RHOC.
I agree with everything but I don't think she should be fired…not just yet?
Therapist don't diagnose autism. When will this idiot go lick windows and go away. Actually let's see it in writing
yes they can, and you obviously havent listened to the whole conversation.
In psychobabble terms, "spectrum" refers to a range of related conditions that share a common cause and symptoms, or a set of related and separate conditions. In other words, Tammy's new "doctor" hit the jackpot in office vi$it$. Doctors (especially psychologists) are like mechanics; they don't make any money on good running cars.
Ain’t that the truth! If ‘safe and effective’ and ‘two weeks to slow the spread’ were in human form they would be the modern day snake oil salesmen, therapists. And here’s a fun game: try to make TWO words out of the word therapist. ? Coincidence? ? Freud sure was obsessed…. I mean, I’m not saying… https://media3.giphy.com/media/fklNpS1AZII59mpPSJ/giphy-downsized-small.mp4

Trampy Sue is so contrived.
you all are evil.
Come on Ryan ! Even being her biggest fan here , you’ve got to realize that all of her reckless mouthing off isn’t fair to people . To now put this out is a wee bit convenient , no ? And seemingly a new excuse to justify her mean girl behavior . I used to be a fan but calling people that have watched her morph into a meaner person with each new target evil , is not cool !
if you listened to the whole conversation roughly 20 Ish minutes it's not as black and white she just came out of the therapy session, should she have said those words? no i am sure the doctor told her, she is matching for this and then she vented to Teddi. I honestly thought the conversation was great and it was the most venerable we've ever seen Tamra.
I do not think it was calculated at all!
First therapy session and she finds out she’s on the spectrum?! Seriously?!!
When I opened my first box of Lucky Charms, I found out they’re magically delicious, so why not? ? https://media1.giphy.com/media/26tPo9rksWnfPo4HS/giphy-downsized-small.mp4
??
Fun fact: Lucky Charms are banned in many countries.
Lol. They probably should be…?
Hehe !!! It’s a miracle ! One sesh and they figured it what to call being a douche?!
