The latest episode of Real Housewives of Orange County showed the explosive moment where Tamra Judge “quit” the show. The ladies were at dinner during their New Orleans trip, and Tamra found herself in the hot seat for some of the messy drama unfolding. At one point, Gina Kirschenheiter called Tamra “sloshed,” which led to her storming out of the restaurant and telling her Instagram followers that she was leaving the show.
Now, Tarma is coming clean about what led to that moment. She admitted that she mixed anxiety pills with alcohol and has offered up an apology to Heather Dubrow. It’s a sweet moment of reflection from Tamra, and a sign that maybe the therapy is working after all.
Tamra Judge has a lot of love for RHOC co-star Heather Dubrow
In an Instagram Story shared on Friday, August 15, Tamra shared a screenshot of a fan’s direct message to her. The viewer told her that they felt “broken-hearted” for Tamra after watching RHOC Season 19 Episode 6. According to Tamra, she’s been receiving a lot of kind words following the explosive episode, and then she offered up an explanation for her behavior.
“Thank you for all the kind words you’ve sent (like this),” the RHOC star began. “I have NOT watched the episode.”
Tamra continued, “It was a painful time I don’t want to relive. Emotionally I hit a wall with everything I was dealing with ?I was taking Xanax to deal with the pain & mixed it with alcohol.”
At the time of filming Season 19, Teddi’s bestie and podcast co-host, Teddi Mellencamp, had been diagnosed with brain cancer. Her RHOC castmates recognized how that could be contributing to her chaotic behavior. On Instagram, Tamra specifically thanked Heather for her support.
Tamra added, “Thank you @heatherdubrow & I’m sorry the way I responded to you. I love you very much.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County continues on Bravo on Thursdays at 8/7c. Stream it on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
