Tamra Judge is already warning fans that season 20 of The Real Housewives of Orange County is about to be anything but calm — and she’s making it clear she plans to “blow things up.”
Tamra appeared on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live alongside Teddi Mellencamp, where she teased major drama ahead while also confirming where she stands with several key cast members — including Heather Dubrow.
During the conversation, Jeff Lewis revealed that despite past tensions, he and Heather Dubrow are on good terms.
“Yeah, Heather and I are good,” Jeff said. “Very civil, very friendly.”
Tamra quickly followed up, clearly wanting to set the record straight about the group dynamics.
“And you and Vicki are good?” Tamra asked.
“Vicki and I are great,” Jeff replied.
Judge then added, “And you know, Shannon’s your bestie.”
Jeff confirmed, “Shannon and I are good.”
While things may be civil on the surface, Tamra made it clear that peace won’t last long once cameras go up.
After discussing whether Shannon Beador and Judge could potentially make up, Tamra didn’t hold back about what viewers should expect from her this season.
“Well, I’ll tell you right now,” Tamra declared. “After how they treated me last year, I’m going to f***ing blow things up.”
The bold statement immediately raised eyebrows, especially considering Tamra’s long history of being one of OC’s biggest pot-stirrers.
When co-host Shane Douglas joked, “So last year was calm Tamra?” Jeff wasn’t so sure.
“I thought you blew things up last year and the year before that,” Jeff said.
But Judge insisted last season was different — and that she was coming from a much more emotional place.
“No, I didn’t blow,” Judge explained. “I was like in a very sad situation and I wasn’t happy.”
She went on to say she felt unsupported by her castmates and accused them of turning on her instead of rallying around her.
“Nobody — like if anybody else was having a hard time, it’d be like, ‘Oh, what can I do for you? Let’s have a party to cheer you up,’” Tamra said. “No, they’re like, ‘You’re leaking stories. You’re doing this. You’re that. You’re that.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh my god, you guys are not my friends.’”
Despite her explosive warning, Teddi Mellencamp suggested Tamra may be heading into a redemption season.
“But you need a redemption year,” Teddi said.
Jeff, however, couldn’t resist throwing in some classic shade.
“She’s needed that for like 20 seasons,” he joked.
Even with things being “civil” between Tamra and Heather Dubrow, Tamra’s comments make it clear that season 20 of RHOC won’t be short on chaos — and if her warning is any indication, longtime fans should brace themselves for major fireworks.
