Photo – Real OC Housewife Tamra Barney Goes Public With Dating Husband’s Friend

eddie-judge-tamra-barney

First Tamra Barney admitted to dating and sleeping with her husband’s friend, Eddie Judge, only to turn around and lie about deny it just days later.

It now seems the Real Housewives of Orange County star is ready to go public with her new relationship. According to RadarOnline, Tamra herself posted the above photo of she and Eddie on her facebook page. This is all just less than 2 months after her husband Simon Barney filed for divorce, accusing her of cheating on him. Tamra has always denied she cheated.

Simon also claimed he found out about the romance by catching the two of them together at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. He said, “I couldn’t believe what I had just witnessed — the ultimate betrayal by a pal and my estranged wife.”

“We started hanging out together more after my separation and one thing led to another. We had been friends for over a year,” said Tamra when she confirmed the new relationship to Radar.

She continued, “We are romantically involved, he is a great guy. It was bound to happen that we both would start dating again after he filed for divorce, it was going to happen sooner or later.”

This is all very messy interesting indeed.

  1. “A liar is a liar is a liar”- Tamra Barney

  2. Just curious?

    Who here thinks this is a ploy or publicity stunt for attention?

    Gretchen seems to think it’s the latter.

    What do you guys say?

  3. Amen Nell!!! – What a great example to her children. She is truly a lowlife!! So much for laying low!!!

  4. WTF – I think it’s both – she’s an attention whore #1, maybe Gretchen has some inside information that Bravo has going on. Who knows – either way she’s is a piece of work. And furthermore does it really matter if it a ploy or a Publicity Stunt – not to me a slut is a slut, is a slut!!!!

  5. Now she can take all her own words back and suck it! Agreed~a liar is…and a slut is…and a BAD example to your children is…! They both seem to look into the cameras more than look at one another. Just an observation of a smarmy situation.

  6. WTF,

    Could be..Although I don’t know why anyone would want bad publicity..Anyway Gretchen is probably glad the bad focus is off of her for a change.

  7. OK, gotta say, Tam looks pretty cute here – maybe less stress suits her. Does anyone else think she may have gone ahead and taken her implants out?? Looks as if there is barely any projection of her shirt/hair/necklace. Looks so nice and petite?? Also, BRAVO has a few old episodes showing today – very interesting to see how different Slime is with Gretchen (Mr. Carefree ActTooYoung) and Jo (Mr. Responsible r-u-going-to-finish-that drink). Nice to know he prefers women who can’t hold their liquor!!

  8. Yeah, agree with k-wow and the others -

    interesting how this pic comes out BEFORE the Reunion show – maybe to dilute Simon’s presence on the RH and make him seem irrelevant. Gretchen may be right about this being a ploy.

    looks like she got her implants removed too.

  9. I called this one a while ago. I knew she would find a much younger man to piss off Simon and Gretchen would be jealous. If she didn’t have kids it would be fine to rub Simon’s nose in it, but she shouldn’t be running around w/ another guy a month after she got her stupid tattoo.
    He looks less gay in this pic. He’s got a nice bod so I can’t say I blame her. I think she has no gaydar, so she panicked and then must have figured out he’s a gay acting hetero.

    Tamra took that picture down from her FB. HMMM There were rumors going around in the inside circles last fall that Tamra and Simon were getting a divorce and nobody likes Alexis. Maybe Tamra went public with it on BRAVO’s timetable for maximum ratings. Just a thought.

  11. Just watching the older seasons reminds me of how the series has changed.

    Much of what’s shown shows cocktail parties, dinners, lunches that these women can afford because that’s their income level.

    Now all we have is broke@ssed evicted short-saled bottomfeeders who are nothing but pretenders going out to restaurants because Bravo is picking up the bill.

    They all hate on Vicki and I think she can’t help but feel superior to them since the others all have fake money and questionable backgrounds. How things have changed.

  12. Hi Sister Sledge :)

    Yeah Bravo was auditioning 2 wks ago in OC for 2 replacements and word is that Tamra or Lynne &/or Alexis are going to go.

    A lot of us are hoping Alexass will go.

  13. Hey Sister Sledge,Hmm..interesting very interesting.

    Hey Scarlette, I’ve enjoyed watching the old episodes,I agree, those ladies could afford their life style, boy what a difference now huh?

  14. I think Vicki is going to go, I think she is over these ladies, and it would be her choice like Jenna. I also think Lynne or Alexis might go because they are not so popular,and Bravo would want to replace them. What do you guys think?

  15. Feb 7th Tamra says she is dating and sleeping with Eddie

    Feb 8th Tamra denies dating him saying they are just friends.

    Feb 22 Tamra says they are dating

    So which Tamra is the one telling the truth?

    Feb 7th and Feb 22nd Tamra

    or

    Feb 8th Tamra

    Some how it will all be Simon, Vicky or Gretchen’s fault that she lied.

  16. This gay is wwaayy cuter than Simon She looks happy, cute couple but yeah where did her ta-ta’s go?

    Dont’cha think that everything the Housewives [no matter what city] do is staged, has to be I mean we don’t hear about Atlanta anymore now that their show is not on, and they were all over the place, I’m just saying……..

  17. I hope she get her life together for her kids sake…..

    JENNY FROM THE BRONX

    LMAO. I am loving the downsizing and the cattines. I hope Alexis is the one to go. She is totally irrelevant. She is a piece of meat.lol. I love this show. LOL.

  19. Tamra..All I can say is YOU GO GIRL! Simons such a jerk..you put up with him long enough! Go and have fun! He’s sooo hot!!Who cares what others think..you sooooo deserve it!!

  20. OOPS!! I said gay and I meant guy sorry Tamra

  21. Awwwwww Look at the cute, happy couple!!!! What a mess!!!!!!

  22. Well… it appears Tamara is now walking on the dark side. On Simons FB, he posted about having the kids for a week with Tamara away, she picked up kids monday morn.. now he just posted he has them again on a last minute text from her. Yikes.. during a divorce you really need to lay low before a judge gets ahold of ya..

    I’m just saying..

  23. I’m Just Saying..

    Good Job Secret Squirel

  24. Looks more like a (gay)shopping buddy to me!!

  25. Isn’t she the one that left him that night and walked out without the kids? Somehow, she really isn’t making a good impression on the mother-of-the-year front, is she? How do you explain to the judge that you left your children?

    Does he still blog on his FB page? I thought that he wasn’t going to say anything else about the divorce? Between the two of them, which one do you think is worse? Him for being so controlling/domineering or her for being so conniving/contrived? Everything seems to be about appearances only, no substance, just appearance.

  26. Dyana Dear..

    Why tankies!!! I am on the down low so dont blow my cover… Do you think this trench coat and large hat helps?

    Douche haters

    Didn’t she claim to have DD’s removed in a prior season? Remember Simon driving her to the hospital and saying “Make sure you don’t end up with mosquito bites.” (RED FLAG on the control thing).

    Good for her if they are removed! She looks younger without them, and her back is probably thanking her.

  28. Agree that Tamra looks better without those implants. Her story with this guy is odd – she could have just come out with it when the it first broke and avoided the drama. She’s not the brightest person, so I’m guessing this isn’t part of some master scheme on her part.

    Also, as Joan mentioned, running around with this fool isn’t going to help her case as a great mom in the divorce court, especially with her creepy son Ryan as an example of her prior child-rearing skills.

    Simon needs to give that Facebook page a rest – wanting Ryan to apologize on Facebook and posting every time the Tamrat does something sleazy is weak. This guy seems more into FB than many high school girls.

    The Reunion show looks like it has potential – interesting to see if Simon is invited or if this new guy will show up, whether Vicki will bring Brianna to help avoid any conflicts, or if they’ll roll out Jay Photoglou as a special guest to liven things up.

  29. Ok, can you explain something….
    Tamra and Simon were on the verge of foreclosure and slipped by with the short-sale. He doesn’t have a full time job and hawks tequila; she had to go back to real-estate and now lives in a two bedroom apartment…WHO FINANCES THEIR PLASTIC SURGERY??????? Seriously, who pays for these surgeries? How do you justify having plastic surgery if your family is loosing their home? Does this make any sense to anyone? Does the Dr. come and put the boobs back in if you don’t make your payments? Is Dr. Ambe going to come and make Lynn look like a sharpei if she defaults on her face-lift? Or break her oldest daughter’s nose to put the bump back in? What happens if you don’t make the payments on your plastic surgery? How do you repo a wrinkle?

  30. Nell said it all.

  31. I am so over the OC Housewives. Tamra is a LOSER. What REAL person dates within two months of divorce papers being served? Especially when Tamra was “so shocked and so in the marriage forever.” Talk about a narcissist. Try getting yourself together, getting a REAL job, and taking care of your kids and their emotional needs Tamra. white trash is white trash is white trash.

  32. Funny thing about that little white speck on the tip of chicken poop. It’s still chicken poop.

  33. Hi Scarlette, I hope you’re right about BRAVO wanting to replace a couple of the housewives. Alexis is at the top of my list of whom I would like to see replaced. Lynne (meh), don’t care one way or the other. I think her kids are over this show. Tamra, that show has changed her, gone to her head and destroyed her family. She was a different woman in Season 3. At the very least Simon should see to it that the Barney kids are not allowed to be filmed for any future episodes on this trainwreck.

  34. As much as I hate to say this, I’m hoping Lynne should go. Lynne really needs to work out her drama with her hubby and children off-air. Might be better for the girls. I think they’re probably laughing stocks at school.

    And as much as Alexass annoys me, she makes the show interesting just like Gretchen.

    I can see the drama next season if they replace Lynne with Heidi Montag. Or pick someone like Melissa Rycroft and her hubby. Just think how crazy this show would be, think of all the endless possibilities:

    Heidi Montag and her Spencer Pratt doofball
    Tamra and Eddie Judge
    Gretchen and Slade
    Alexis and Jim
    Vicki and Donn

    Oh lordy, poor Vicki and Donn.

    Who would you REPLACE/and or Add for next season?

    Looks more like a (gay)shopping buddy to me!!

    I thought that’s what her friend Ricky was for. Is he gay? He had a bag hanging over his shoulder when she went to get the tattoo on her finger. I bet if they do get divorced Simon gets the kids. Didn’t she say she got a 2 bedroom apt.? How will she have enough room for them?

  36. WTF.. Loved your post!

    I think Lynne should leave too, for the very same reasons,but I’m afraid she wouldn’t do it on her own because of the money you know? I think Gretchen and Tamra should stay. I don’t get Alexis,don’t really understand why she is on there, so I say get rid of her.Vicki, I beleive will leave on her own accord,as Jeanna did.

  37. Intelius says that an Edward N. Judge from Ladera Ranch is 36 years old.

    OC Courts website says that an Edward N. Judge filed for divorce in 2005. So maybe he’s not gay.

  38. DUH,

    Good Job!.. I love the Super Spies on here!! Awww Tamra’s got a youngster!!

  39. I think they should keep Vicki and Tamra and let the rest of the bitches go. I’m sick of Lynn & her bratty kids, Alexass w/ her screwed up morals & Archie Bunker husband, and Gretchen & Slade, both are a couple of grifters.

    I think they should let this Eddie guy on the show, and make the show less about everyone’s stupid kids. They aren’t the least bit interesting. I don’t think they should get into allowing D list celebrities on. These women aren’t celebrities.

  40. look at her!!! she looks better than ever. divorce is working for her. You go girl!!! looking rejuvenated, now that Simon isn’t sucking the life out of her

  41. Divorce or not, this guy looks very gay (aka Liza Minelli’s ex). I love that Tamra tatooed “Simon” on her ring finger a few months before being served with divorce papers. Per Dr. Drew, reality TV cast members are specifically screened for the biggest narcassists. That’s what makes for the best drama. Love the “Archie Bunker” reference. Also, was it ever confirmed Ryan became a dad?

  42. Might be better for the girls. I think they’re probably laughing stocks at school

    —> both of her girls went to a continuation high school. I’m not sure either one of them even graduated.

  43. The story about Ryan becoming a father was just a hook to get people to care. He was adopting a dog, not having a human baby. He was “becoming a daddy” to the new dog. It was a dumb story that got people talking.

  44. I said this before, but I think Tamra is one of the prettiest girls with Gretchen coming in second. Sorry, but I DO think that Tamra is the hottest housewife on that show, but she’s just really insecure and MARRIED TOO YOUNG!

    She reminds me alot of a cross between Rebecca DeMornay (Hand the Rocks the Cradle), with some Cheryl Ladd (Charlie’s Angels) thrown into the mix.

    And you know what, “Good for her!” Hope she’s happy and I think being single, might actually do her some good and she can be like Gretchen and go after the things that make her happy. Maybe that’s why she resented Gretchen so much. But I DO believe the stories about Jay involving her, and that Gretchen is a liar too!

    Tamra can suck it

    @#1 Nell you said it. How fitting!

    @#15 Lisa great post!

    Pretty funny how the usual suspects that are always bashing Gretchen and Alexis are ignoring Trailer Trash Tamrat caught in her own lies in her own words. LOL, What a bunch of hypocrites.

    I sincerely doubt Tamara’s kids will be forever scarred bc mama dated a month after separating. The poor kids will be adversely affected just by who their parents are, and being on the show and exposing their lives, and many other reasons i.e. Simon’s controlling treatment of their mother (what a terrible example to have).
    As for the timing of her dating, she is not in mourning, this is not the Civil War era, and really now, most marriages are over long before one finally files for divorce, probably by a year or 2.
    I find Gretchen and Slade’s relationship far more disturbing.

    Of course, Alexis and Jim’s disgusting/disturbing factor is a given.

  48. They all need to GO and get a whole “new” cast of people who want to “show off” what they have and don’t have like these people have and how it has runied their lives.

    I don’t see how Simon was controlling at all. In fact he showed great self control, but Tamra was just trying too hard to prove herself to ‘Icky’ and not her husband.

    Tamra preferred to rebel against her husband and his displeasure at her change in demeanor after hanging out with ‘Icky’ and then realised how stupid a decision that was, but now Simon had seen enough…..so he called it quits.

    Now, she has certainly proven that Simon was correct in saying his wife had changed.

    Unless of course, she had him fooled all along and hasn’t changed at all…..but was always just a trifling, loud mouthed, succubus and wannabe looking to snag the first dim-wit who would surrender to her surgically enhanced charms.

    As a man, I know that most men can really appreciate a ‘thoroughbred’ type of woman. An attractive, noble and spirited woman, who will make them feel proud, because she is a ‘prize’ and a winner. These type of women are worthy of the effort a man should put into them because they are ‘thoroughbreds.

    Many guys lack my discernment however, so they will be satisfied with a jackass, or a ‘nag’. The loudmouthed, stubborn, ignoble and unhappy good for nothing kind of woman, that is obstinate and obnoxious and that can cause men to lose control and cuss them out or worse. Because it is difficult to get them to do anything, they are a waste of time.

    Why bother to put up with anything less than a ‘thoroughbred’, if at the end of it all, you’re left alone with some jackass or a ‘nag’ and we all know — there are no prizes for one of those!

  50. Tamra, you are such a liar…and a slut.
