The feud between Tamra Judge and Gretchen Rossi continued to smolder on Season 19 of Real Housewives of Orange County. These ladies have been going at it since Gretchen first arrived in RHOC during Season 4. And now, Tamra once again brought original orange-holder Jo De La Rosa back on the scene.
During a recent episode of RHOC, Tamra brought Jo to Jennifer Pedranti’s beach day. Was Gretchen happy? Nope! After all, during the first two seasons of RHOC, Jo was engaged to Gretchen’s current fiancé, Slade Smiley. Now Tamra is explaining why she decided to bring Jo to the beach picnic and Heather Dubrow’s party.

During an episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County After Show, a producer asked Tamra why she brought Jo to these events. “To piss off Gretchen!” Gina Kirschenheiter quipped.
“At this point, I figured it worked at Heather’s party, so why not?” Tamra responded. “We are good friends, and I do talk to her. I just talked to her yesterday.” However, Tamra did enjoy a side benefit to bringing Jo along. “No, I really didn’t bring Jo to get under Gretchen’s skin … If that happened, that’s a bonus,” she explained.
Meanwhile, Gretchen wasn’t buying Tamra’s claim of a close friendship with Jo. In a separate interview on the RHOC After Show, Gretchen stated, “I’m sorry, but, like, they have not been friends for so many years. Now, all of a sudden, they’re buddies and hanging out, and then she’s bringing her to all these events.”
Gretchen continued, “As far as I’m concerned, I don’t have an issue with Jo. It’s Tamra bringing Jo into the picture … You’re trying to start something,” she added.
During the beach get-together, Gretchen and Tamra decided to move forward. However, fans know from experience that it is only a matter of time until this feud reignites.
The Real Housewives of Orange County continues Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
