And despite her earlier criticism, [Tamra](https://allabouttrh.com/2026/11/05/judge-lisa-barlow-of-using-liner/) insists she's one of Lisa's biggest supporters. “Oh God! I love Lisa. After everything she's been through with this group, she deserves the world,” Tamra wrote. She then acknowledged that her criticism may not have come across the way she intended. “Maybe my words didn't come out the right way, and for that, I apologize.” However, Judge didn't completely walk back her opinion about what she considers excessive product placement on RHOSLC. “Some of the constant props on this show are a bit much at times... but Lisa is THE SHOW!!!” she added. ![Tamra Judge Walks Back Lisa Barlow Shade After Fans Accuse Her Of Being Jealous Of RHOSLC Star’s MAC Deal](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/image-28.png) The response comes after Judge made several comments about Lisa during recent episodes of her *Two Ts in a Pod* podcast with Teddi Mellencamp. While recapping RHOSLC, the women discussed Lisa's habit of repeatedly applying lip liner throughout filming. “Lisa still was putting that stuff on her lips,” Teddi observed. Tamra suggested that Lisa was intentionally drawing attention to the product. “I think it was her thing. Like I think she was trying to make a point out of it,” Tamra said. When Teddi asked what point she believed Lisa was trying to make, Tamra responded, “Another one of those props.” She then suggested that Lisa's frequent lip liner application could lead to another endorsement opportunity. “She'll probably get a lip liner contract next,” Tamra remarked. ![Tamra Judge Accuses Lisa Barlow Of Deliberately Using Lip Liner To Score Brand Deals: “It’s A Little Too Performative”](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot-2026-11-04-at-9.07.59-PM.png) Teddi continued questioning whether Lisa's beauty routine was part of a larger strategy. “Do you think this is Lisa's big go-to? To get like some sort of cosmetic thing going on next?” Teddi asked. “Uh huh. It's like Wendy's all over again,” Tamra replied. Teddi then joked, “Soon it'll be e.l.f. Cosmetics,” prompting Tamra to respond, “Yeah.” The comments referenced Lisa's previous partnership with Wendy's, which followed years of the RHOSLC star frequently expressing her love for the fast-food chain. But Tamra took her criticism a step further during another podcast episode when Teddi asked about Lisa and Meredith Marks' “Hypocrisy and Bullshit” performance. Tamra argued that certain RHOSLC moments appeared increasingly calculated. “This show has become a little bit performative with the song, the lip liner constantly being put on,” she explained. “She did it again this episode. And she made sure you could see it was MAC. So she thinks, well, if I got a Wendy commercial, maybe MAC will give me a commercial.” Tamra went on to explain why she felt the behavior was different from the more spontaneous product moments she remembered from earlier seasons of Housewives. “It's just, it's a little bit too performative for me. They're too self-aware of what is going on and what potentially can go on.” She then compared Lisa's behavior to her own experience landing a partnership with Swiffer. “Like back in the day, I was cleaning my floors with a Swiffer or something and I was just doing it because I was doing it, then I got a deal with Swiffer.” The criticism raised eyebrows among Lisa's supporters, particularly because the RHOSLC star has since partnered with MAC Cosmetics. Fans pushed back against the suggestion that Lisa was manufacturing a moment solely to attract a brand deal, arguing that her love of the cosmetics company predates her reality television career. One X user even criticized Tamra directly, writing, “They all sound jealous and @TamraJudgeOC it's @MACcosmetics not elf.” But Tamra pushed back against the suggestion that she was jealous of Lisa's success. “I'm happy for her! Relax, we just talked yesterday. She's my favorite on #RHOSLC!” Tamra responded. ![Tamra Judge Walks Back Lisa Barlow Shade After Fans Accuse Her Of Being Jealous Of RHOSLC Star’s MAC Deal](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/image-29.png)
