The tension between Tamra Judge and Gretchen Rossi is far from over, even after Gretchen’s long-awaited return to The Real Housewives of Orange County.
While Tamra openly expresses frustration with Gretchen’s apparent inability to move beyond old conflicts, it is clear that Gretchen’s commitment to her roots and her unapologetic approach have kept her a memorable figure in the RHOC universe.
On the latest Page Six Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, Tamra did not hold back about how Gretchen seems stuck in a previous era of the show, but fans might wonder if Gretchen’s refusal to change is part of what makes her so compelling and relatable.
After a decade away from the series, Gretchen Rossi has returned as a friend of the cast. However, her comeback has reignited old tensions with RHOC veteran Tamra Judge, with whom she has a well-known feud. Tamra shared her thoughts on what viewers can expect from Gretchen this season during the podcast.
The Vena CBD co-founder humorously criticized Gretchen for seeming to have the same look and approach she had years ago. Tamra said, “I feel like she can’t move forward, she wants to talk about the past. She thinks the show still operates like it did 15 years ago, and it doesn’t. It’s a different show.”
She went on to explain, “Social media is different, the show is different, the way it’s filmed is different, everything’s different now. And she’s just the same person.”
When host Danny Murphy asked Tamra if Gretchen’s hair and outfit choices seemed “out-of-date,” Tamra responded bluntly, “They’re both bad. Yeah, it’s really bad.”
Despite their long history, Tamra revealed that she attempted to start fresh with Gretchen, hoping motherhood might have brought some maturity. Gretchen shares a five-year-old daughter, Skylar, with fiancé Slade Smiley. Tamra recalled, “I tried, I tried. My opening statement to her was, ‘Hey, listen, I’d like to reintroduce myself to you. I am Tamra Judge, and I have no desire to go in the past. You know, we can move forward, and find something new to fight about.’”
Still, Tamra made it clear that if anyone should be angry in their feud, it should be her. She said, “The thing is, if anybody should be mad, it should be me. For 12 years, she is relentless talking about me.”
Fans can look forward to seeing all the drama and dynamics play out on The Real Housewives of Orange County, which airs Thursdays at 9/8 ET on Bravo.
Dolores Catania, the longtime star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, recently shared candid thoughts about her ongoing connection to the RHONJ cast and her excitement for Bravo’s latest franchise expansion, The Real Housewives of Rhode Island.
Speaking to E! News, Dolores expressed enthusiasm about the new series and her surprising ties to the Rhode Island cast. “I think it’s amazing,” she said. “I know some of the girls and you are in for a treat. You think we’re Italian? They paint the streets with the Italian flag in Rhode Island. They’re feisty.”
Although rumors swirl about a potential cameo, Dolores kept her cards close to her chest. “Stay tuned,” she teased, leaving fans eager for more.
While the future of RHONJ remains uncertain following the show’s pause after season 14, Dolores made it clear that no other franchise can truly replace the unique bond she and her castmates share with viewers. “New Jersey’s in a league of its own,” the 54-year-old said. “So, I think that it won’t [fill the void], only because you’ve made relationships with us. We remind you of your aunt or your mom or your cousins. I think it’s the people that you miss even more than the show.”
Dolores admitted, “I miss everything about filming. I miss the good times and the bad times. It’s a relationship I’ve been doing for over eight years now and you miss the people that you saw so often. It’s like a bad breakup.”
Despite the challenges of the show’s hiatus, she appreciates the ongoing support from fans. “I’ve gotten so much support over the years and I can’t thank everybody enough for that,” she said warmly. “It means the world to me. Like, I want to bring everyone over the house. I don’t care if it’s a million people, I want everyone to sleep over and stay.”
When asked about her current relationships with her RHONJ castmates off camera, Dolores shared that she stays connected with almost everyone. “I spoke to almost everyone today,” she revealed. “I keep in touch with all of them: Jen Fessler, Margaret Josephs, Melissa [Gorga], Teresa [Giudice], Danielle Cabral. The Jersey girls are tied. I really hope we come back.”
Notably absent from that list were Jennifer Aydin and Rachel Fuda.
Are you surprised Dolores is no longer close with Jennifer and Rachel?
After a long marriage and a recent engagement that ended, Dr. Lenny Hochstein is turning a new page in his love life. Lenny, 59, who was married to Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa Hochstein for 13 years, later got engaged to model Katharina Mazepa. However, that relationship came to a respectful close a few months ago.
“After a meaningful chapter together, I’ve made the decision to respectfully end our engagement and return the ring,” Katharina told Page Six. “I wasn’t asked to do so but insisted because I felt it was the right thing to do.” She added, “I had a quiet realization that sometimes love transforms, and letting go with grace is the most dignified path forward,” revealing their split happened “a few months ago.”
Now, Hochstein has moved forward with a new romance, Russian model Alena Kovalenko, 25, who he has been dating for about a month. He’s already introduced her to his children from his marriage to Lisa, son Logan, 10, and daughter Elle Marie, 5.
“It’s very new and fresh,” Hochstein told Us Weekly about his relationship with Alena, who is 34 years younger. The two met through a mutual friend and quickly connected. “We agreed to meet in Miami and hit it off,” he said.
Though still early in the relationship, Lenny is optimistic about their bond. “It’s still too early to make any decisions,” he admitted, but added, “We have a mutual attraction to each other, enjoy spending time together and doing the things that normal couples do.”
Alena has already moved in with Lenny at his Star Island mansion in Florida. “The kids have met her, and they absolutely love her,” Lenny shared.
Lenny first rose to fame when Lisa joined The Real Housewives of Miami in 2012. The couple divorced officially in November 2024 after a lengthy legal battle following their separation in May 2022.
As he embraces this fresh start, Lenny says he is open to wherever this new relationship may lead. “I’ll see where this leads and open to seeing where this path may take me,” he said.
Denise Richards is speaking out and stepping forward in what appears to be one of the most painful chapters of her life. In a deeply troubling turn of events, the actress and former reality TV star was granted a temporary domestic violence restraining order against her estranged husband Aaron Phypers after a series of disturbing allegations came to light.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Richards, 54, accused Phypers of years of both physical and verbal abuse, alleging a pattern of escalating violence that included threats to her life and his own. Richards bravely documented the trauma and the court acted quickly by granting the restraining order on July 16 from the Superior Court of California, just days after Phypers himself filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences.”
In her statement Richards recalled chilling moments from their marriage.
“Throughout our relationship, Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom towel rack,” she revealed.
One of the most shocking claims involved an incident in Malibu in 2022 when Richards said Phypers became paranoid believing that potted plants were bugged. She said he struck her in the eye with his hand and hurled a vile slur at her. A severely bruised eye was the result.
Even in public signs of abuse lingered. Richards pointed out red carpet photos from 2023 showing bruises on her arms as evidence she now believes she should not have tried to hide. “I forgot to cover them up,” she admitted.
She also alleged that Phypers owned at least eight unregistered guns and that he repeatedly told her he would “disappear” if she ever contacted the police. In one particularly disturbing moment described in the filing, he allegedly screamed “You are not cancelling my flight, I am going with you and I do not trust you” before violently grabbing her by the hair and slamming her to the ground.
For Richards this is more than a legal case. It is a long-overdue stand for her safety and well-being. She stated that Phypers “threatened to kill me and himself and the police” on multiple occasions throughout their marriage, which began in 2018.
The temporary restraining order is in effect until August 8 and requires Phypers to stay 100 yards away from Richards, her home, her workplace, and her vehicle.
Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers appeared together on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH) during Seasons 9 and 10 (2019–2020).
Denise joined the cast in Season 9, and viewers saw her relationship with Aaron unfold onscreen, including their marriage and several tense moments between them and other cast members. Aaron was frequently seen accompanying her to events and was involved in some controversial scenes that raised eyebrows among fans.
Tamra Judge has once again weighed in on Jennifer Pedranti and Ryan Boyajian’s relationship, stirring up fresh speculation ahead of Jennifer’s much-anticipated wedding.
During a recent appearance on New York Live, Tamra Judge didn’t hold back when the topic of Jennifer’s wedding invite, or lack thereof, came up.
When the host mentioned a trailer clip where Jennifer discusses her wedding and hints that Tamra might not be invited, Tamra’s response was candid and clear: “Do you think I wanted to be invited to that wedding? Let’s be honest, now. I swear I actually started laughing when she said that, well, I don’t want to and I’m like do you think I want to go? Like, no, I don’t.”
@newyorklivetv @Tamra Judge says she didn’t want an invite to Jen’s wedding! But… is the wedding even happening? ???????@Bravo #newyorklivetv #rhoc #tamrajudge #realhousewives ? original sound – New York Live TV
Tamra’s blunt dismissal of the idea that she wanted an invite seemed to suggest that any tensions were mutual, but she also added a touch of intrigue by questioning the status of the wedding itself. “And where’s the wedding?” she asked with a smirk.
When pressed if the wedding was off, she teased, “You have to wait and see. You have to listen to the lie detector test. See who’s, uh, nervous about moving forward. That’s a little tease right there.” This hint toward Jennifer’s upcoming lie detector episode points to some pre-wedding nerves, something many couples experience before tying the knot.
The history between Tamra and Jennifer helps explain the sharp tone in these comments. The two were once close friends before Jennifer joined the show, but once Jennifer’s relationship with Ryan became a focal point, Tamra’s attitude toward her seemed to shift.
Through it all, Jennifer has maintained her composure, focusing on building her future with Ryan. While Tamra’s remarks add fuel to the drama, Jennifer’s calm and poised approach continues to stand out, making her journey one that fans are keenly watching as the season progresses.
Kelly Dodd, known for her outspoken and often provocative style on The Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC), recently stirred the pot during a TikTok live session with her husband, Rick Leventhal. When a fan asked whether Kelly believes Heather Dubrow is on Ozempic, a popular but controversial weight loss medication, Kelly didn’t hold back.
“Yes, 100%. Maybe not on Ozempic. Maybe monjouro. Her husband said he was on it too,” Kelly said. She went further, recalling her early days on the show with Heather: “I remember being with Heather Dubrow my first year and she was 100% anorexic.”
@ilovetvclips Replying to @kaliahferguson Well according to Kelly apparently people are all saying that HeatherDubrow has an ED and is on Ozempic ? #rhoc #realhousewivesoforangecounty #fyp? #kellydodd ? original sound – ilovetvclips
Kelly Dodd joined The Real Housewives of Orange County in its 11th season in 2016, instantly making waves with her unapologetic attitude and sharp tongue. Over the years, she has been involved in multiple controversies, both on and off the show, often clashing with fellow cast members and fans alike. Kelly’s approach was never about subtlety; she aimed to bring raw, unfiltered drama to the forefront, which earned her both dedicated fans and harsh critics.
Her departure from the show in 2020 was as dramatic as her time on it. She was let go reportedly due to backlash over her controversial statements during the COVID-19 pandemic and her combative relationships with other cast members.
Heather Dubrow, on the other hand, first joined RHOC in season 7 (2012) and quickly became known for her polished image, successful career, and poised demeanor. Heather’s tenure on the show was marked by her sophistication and sharp wit, often clashing with the more brash personalities, including Kelly.
The two women’s relationship was far from friendly, with plenty of on-screen tension. Their clashes highlighted the classic reality TV trope of “opposites attract, and fight,” giving viewers some of the most memorable moments in the franchise’s history.
Viewers commented and said vouched that Kelly Dodd needs to come back to RHOC with some writing, “She needs to come back. She was the only one that put all of them in their place.”

The Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge is setting the record straight about her appearance, and putting plastic surgery rumors to rest.
On the July 14 episode of her podcast, Two T’s in a Pod, Judge, 57, addressed fan speculation that she’s recently gone under the knife. “Everyone’s, like, ‘What? You look different,’” she said. “I think even Andy Cohen said that. I’m, like, ‘My hair’s darker. I’m definitely thinner, which makes a difference.’”
Judge, who recently appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, acknowledged that the changes in her face are mostly due to weight loss. “Then, [I got] new teeth. That’s it, guys,” she added with a laugh to guest cohost Dolores Catania. “No surgery, no nothing.”
While she hasn’t had recent surgery, Judge has been open about undergoing non-surgical cosmetic treatments. In 2024, she received a CO2 laser treatment, a brow lift, and a blue chemical peel. The CO2 laser is known for targeting the skin’s outer layers to reduce wrinkles and discoloration while stimulating collagen production. Combined with the peel and brow lift, the procedures caused noticeable swelling, but not the transformation some fans assumed came from plastic surgery.
Judge also responded to ongoing speculation that her slimmed-down figure is due to Ozempic, a diabetes drug that has become widely used for weight loss. She shut those rumors down firmly.
“These comments that I’m on Ozempic are disgusting,” she posted on X (formerly Twitter) back in October 2023. “I’ve suffered from intestinal problems for years. I’ve had multiple surgeries in the past 12 years. My grandmother died of intestinal problems. I’ve never been on Ozempic and personally, wouldn’t use it for weight loss!”
Judge has consistently emphasized that her transformation is the result of health challenges and lifestyle choices, not shortcuts.
We’re diving deep into The Real Housewives of Miami and the unforgettable narcissism party that had everyone talking on the latest AllAboutTRH podcast episode. We also explore the growing rumors surrounding the newest Housewife, Stephanie, her bold response to the online chatter, and how she’s confronting fans head-on. To top it all off, we’re recapping standout moments from the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion.
In a move that’s sure to shake up Bravo’s The Valley, reality star Jax Taylor has announced his departure from the show following its second season. The Vanderpump Rules alum is stepping away to prioritize something far more personal, his sobriety.
“After an incredibly challenging year and many honest conversations with my team and producers, I’ll be stepping away from the next season of The Valley,” Taylor revealed in a heartfelt statement shared by Bravo’s The Daily Dish. “Right now, my focus needs to be on my sobriety, my mental health, and coparenting. Taking this time is necessary for me to become the best version of myself – especially for our son, Cruz.”
Jax Taylor’s battle with sobriety was front and center in Season 2. The season began with Taylor checking himself into a rehab facility, openly confronting his struggles with substance use. Even while off-camera in treatment, he remained entangled in the show’s drama, texting co-stars and keeping tabs on estranged wife Brittany Cartwright through their home security system.
Despite his absence early on, Taylor eventually returned to filming, where tensions with Cartwright continued to dominate the storyline. Ahead of the season’s premiere, Jax Taylor acknowledged just how dark things had gotten for him, reflecting on how far he’s come since the beginning of filming.
Taylor initially opened up about his sobriety journey earlier this year on the Hot Mic podcast hosted by The Valley executive producer Alex Baskin. Baskin, who has defended the decision to include Taylor’s personal and marital struggles on the show, says transparency was key.
“Our job is to tell the full story,” Baskin told Variety. “If we didn’t tell the story in its completeness, then we would be covering up something that really happened and denying Brittany the chance to share what she had been through. I don’t think that’s really ‘platforming an abuser’ as much as that is platforming the story — which includes Brittany’s experience as well as Jax’s.”
Baskin emphasized that the goal is to portray reality “responsibly and fairly, in a way that is entertaining and real,” even when the content becomes “dark.”
