RHOC: Why Tamra Judge Ended Friendship With Vicki Gunvalson and Shannon Beador (Exclusive)

'The Real Housewives of Orange County's Tamra Judge breaks down the demise of her friendship with the other two parts of the 'Tres Amigas,' Vicki Gunvalson and Shannon Beador. She teases much of the aftermath should play out on the soon-to-film 18th season of the Bravo hit, explaining why she's cutting toxicity out of her life in 2024. Plus, she weighs in on rumors Alexis Bellino is returning to the show now that she's dating Shannon's ex, John Janssen. Before Tamra returns to 'Housewives,' though, she's back on Peacock with season 2 of 'The Traitors.' ET sat down with Tamra at a Los Angeles mansion transformed into a miniature version of the Scottish castle at the center of the competition series. 'The Traitors' streams on Peacock, with new episodes debuting on Thursdays.

Tamra's the most toxic housewife of them all!

She terrifies me because of how evil she is

The ultimate Karen.

I really like Eddie but we all know they have an arrangement. Eddie is gay and should be proud of it. Tamara is the devil 👿

[@cynthiasmith4130]

1,000 %%%%!!!! Can't stand her nasty mouth!!!!

[@andyroo9381]

Tamra Judge saying she doesn't want to be around "toxic people" in 2024 is pretty darn rich! She and Vicki are the two most toxic housewives I have ever seen on any show.

[@orianjuarez3074]

I never liked Tamra. No kidding. Toxic ppl, who talk behind my back = Tamra (& Teddi).

[@bsk6707]

She's always looking for tThe bigger check. doesn't have any real friendships

Funny how she says she can’t be around toxic people but she’s around herself all the time must be exhausting 😆

[@din6675]

Great news for Vicky and Shannon. Let's pray Shannon can stay out of her claws for the whole season.

[@LaV593]

Tamra, I must say, looks great for her age. She's had procedures, but somehow she still looks like herself.

[@nicolespiteri6273]

Agreed... Some beautiful women now look like they walked through a wind tunnel... faces pulled back so tight you could bounce a quarter off it. Sadly I have to reference Madonna for sure. Tamara has maintained her natural beauty. Tweaks here and there as you mentioned but at least we still recognize her.

[@kellybryant4609]

Tamra has never been a friend to anyone. This is the same shit she says everytime… she on a loop.

[@carriekay4827]

Tamra keeps trashing "her friends" expects them to be ok with her harsh words.

[@justabruin]

LOL as much as Vicki and Shannon are toxic, that's really rich coming from the MOST toxic one ever - Tamra Judge. 🤣🙄

[@Enlightened77777]

I’m sorry but tamras no better about talking about “friends” behind their backs…good lawd

[@roselacerda7080]

NOW WE UNDERSTAND WHY HER KIDS DON'T WANT TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HER...

Vicky and Tamara go through cycles. They were due for another falling out

They were only friends because of the show

[@b.k8051]

They need content.

[@juliedavis7445]

And Shannon! Their all nuts!

[@barbaradoucette6672]

This is the most toxic person on earth call other who are toxic. Best thing that ever happened to Shannon and Vickie!

[@michelegiallombardo3914]

The “T” in Tamra stands for TOXIC. She is no one’s true/real friend. Btw, does this mean an end to the embarrassment of the “Three Amigos” dance? Lucky Shannon and Vicki!

[@christinavega3634]

I’d take Kelly over Tamra any day…

[@GabriellaMl_]

Honestly Tamra is exhausting she was entertaining to watch in her first few seasons but it’s the same mess over and over I’m sure they can find another outspoken person who has an actual story line

[@orianjuarez3074]

Teddy for the love of God. Don't you dare use your skin cancer to discredit someones behavior. I'm a 23 year breast cancer survivor. One of my sisters died of breast cancer just over a year ago. My Mother died of cancer also.

[@caireengraham]

The Rick and Kelly show on KZbin is where it’s at. Tamra is evil, narcissistic as hell

[@OMTMedia]

Tamrat calling anyone toxic is hilarious! Shea just as Toxic as Vicki and Shannon. She is always talking shit about people behind their backs, she just decided she would get more attention with Teddi than Vicki. Tamra is no one’s friend

[@juanitaleak6482]

I cannot keep up with these 3!!! 😂

[@TR-ff2pl]

Tamra is the most toxic individual.

[@user-zh8gd3gd6u]

Tamra has no self awareness! She has no right to call anyone toxic when she is toxic and conniving

Exactly

Lmfao... Tamera is a chronic shit talker. Give me a break. Those three deserve each other.

[@brandilepage4052]

I hate tamra she is the most toxic housewife I’ve ever seen

[@visualsofthestorm]

Not Tamara clocking Phadrea Tea 😂😂😂

[@ScubaSteve3560]

Tamra has to do what's best for her, and her podcast is doing extremely well and I believe is number one in certain categories. Of course she has to go where the money is, And she makes the most from housewives and her podcast and therefore they come first. As mean as it sounds, She doesn't need the tres amigas.

[@LIGal398]

Brandi wanted her to read books? Lol Tamra has never read a book in her life.

[@bobmohan9815]

Does she know how to read?!?

[@aarushkumar7052]

All 3 are equally toxic and bitter and desperate.

[@brscot]

Guys, it’s her job! If you’re speaking about her (either positively or negatively) then she’s doing her job well. If you disagree with her, disengage and don’t give her airtime!

[@dantesebastian1777]

Tamra and Vicki will probably make up, they probably already have. They have a genuine bond and friends fight.

[@Charcuterie4me]

Nobody and I mean nobody dumps my Vicki as a friend. She’s wonder woman. Vicki is the reason for the entire franchise. When Vicki wipes her butt, people breathe easier. When Vicki is safe we all rest easier. When Vicki gets a parking ticket it’s a blight on society at large. Vicki should be in charge. Vicki is both junior AND senior Marge. I just love how Vicki’s laughter really knows where it wants to go, and where it goes is straight into my eardrums to bring me joy. When Vicki screeches “I was conned! I was lied to!” It was the most iconic moment in television history because it was like yeah Vicki so true!! Also Vicki is mother to Brianna who is an like an angel in the USA. When Vicki comes on screen my dorter and I look at each other and say “don’t say anything! I won’t say anything! Dude! This is awesome!!! Vicki is back and we love that!” Vicki makes me want to do the sloppy swish as I house a bag of ranch flavored chips. Vicki has taken over the throne. Bye bye Oprah it’s Vick time baby!!!!!!!!

[@gabegrant9181]

I just adore me some Vicki 💋..

[@robertaprince180]

Bad hair extensions!!

[@kimberlysbeautyandstyle6695]

That is so funny coming from Tamra Judge. She is one of the most toxic people on the housewives.

[@justsaying8]

Please no more Vicky. I can't stand this woman and I don't need to hear her screaming whoop it up everytime if she is coming back to OC then I'm not watching EF it

[@FrenchBulldog1]

Tamrat neverrrr thinks she does anything wrong. She’s so two faced 😂. Alexis was filming today! Whoop

[@lovelive2216]

Tamra is the definition of Toxic! She is the worst

[@camillelong3968]

So so sick of witchy…..she is so jealous….petty…. Tamara doesnt chose to remember how awful vicky was to her ( and Shannon). Its all so twisted. But no one needs Vicky

[@tonjamorris8449]

All of this is getting so old, you don't know what is "real" and what is made controversy for the show....I think they do all of this feuding just to have something to keep the show relevant when it is not on ...plus it provides an immediate story line for when the show starts. The women are 50-60 years old...I doubt this is who any of them really are --they are just acting a part to get paid.

[@theedspage]

If they are brining back Kelly Leventhal, even the playing field with Teddi Mellencamp.

[@sarahlynch3]

Tamra is nobody’s friend

[@mikeyteladoo5230]

One thing i agree with Tamara is ... Shannon shouldn't have gotten a tour after her DUI or any brand deals or anything. She could've driven INTO and wrecked that house or killed ppl and Shannon is out on tour traveling and making $$

[@TheEyeSeesAll]

😂😂😂 omg who can keep up with these rollercoaster relationships. Jesus Christ.

[@miacarmi57]

Says she who talks behind everybody’s back!

[@JD_300]

I was at the beach the other day and Tamra Judge was there. I was wearing a stylish leopard speedo and she was wearing a stylish leopard thong bikini. We spoke and she jokingly asked me if my mothers knows that I borrowed her leopard bikini bottom

[@RAralar]

Tamra is raw and honest. She does not age.

[@TheDiariesofLundunMoon]

So that explains it all... shannon saw Alexis at the bar got all over emotional because she's still in love with John and hers his new girlfriend right here so she calls Tamra to get advice gets off the phone even more emotional thinking about how it's really over between her and John and is girlfriend is right here all of those things playing in her mind she continues to drink even more harder and harder shots after shots probably is crying at this point gets in her car and tries to drive home ended up with a DUI... but somehow the dog 🐕 is in the car randomly ok got it

She must need money!!!! She is so nasty!!!!
