The reunions for the Real Housewives shows are always quite shocking. For The Real Housewives of Orange County, one of the big bombshells during the reunion was the accusation that Tamra Judge leaked storylines. Naturally, her friends Teddi Mellencamp and Erika Jayne didn’t appreciate how people treated her after this alleged revelation.
Teddi Mellencamp and Erika Jayne hit their RHOC recap podcast to talk Tamra Judge’s reunion treatment
It was a crazy season for RHOC. There were old feuds coming back to haunt us, lie detector tests, health issues, and ladies quitting. All par for the course. But things got pretty serious during the reunion when all bets were off.
One of the major reveals was an anonymous voice accusing Tamra of leaking RHOC storylines. An anonymous tipster spoke to some of the cast members on the phone and told them that Tamra spilled what happened. The voice on the phone knew all storyline details before any trailers or episodes had aired.
The news shocked everyone. The girls were all over her. They were convinced, because the person knew things that no one but the cast and crew would know. For her part, Tamra 100% denied leaking anything and demanded proof that the tipster was credible. To borrow from Heather Gay, Tamra wanted the proof and the receipts.
Teddi and Erika, both from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, shared their thoughts on Two Ts in a Pod. They spoke about what went down at the reunion and the accusation against Tamra.
“Do I think Tamra had the best season? No,” Teddi admitted. “Do I think that she deserved this? No. It felt yucky.”
“I think it’s all weird,” Erika added. “It felt ugly. I don’t like this sort of anonymous accuser. If you’ve got something to say, reveal yourself. So Tamra has the right to confront her accuser.”
“And you could tell Tamra was genuinely hurt about this,” Teddi said. Erika agreed, quoting Tamra, “I’ve been on the show 15 years, I would never do this.” They both 100% believe Tamra when she said that she didn’t do it.
Time will tell if the RHOC team believes her. There may be a shakeup for the upcoming legacy Season 20 and Tamra has already admitted that no one is safe except for Vicki Gunvalson.
The Real Housewives of Orange County is streaming on Peacock. The show streams on Hayu in Canada, the UK and Ireland.
