Tamra Judge’s husband, Eddie Judge, shared his honest reaction to the news of The Real Housewives of Orange County’s big casting decision. Right now, everybody is in limbo except for one sure cast member, Vicki Gunvalson. It certainly seems like RHOC 20 is looking to shake things up.
Eddie Judge has had drama with Vicki on Real Housewives of Orange County in the past
Eddie has had some issues with Vicki in the past. But he isn’t carrying that into 2026 or into the new season of RHOC. On his iHeartRadio podcast The Eds, Eddie had Tamra on as a co-host for an episode and spoke about his thoughts on Vicki returning to RHOC.
A listener asked how Eddie felt about Vicki’s return, and he said (at the 55:58 mark), ‘What I learned, particularly from my interview with Joe Gorga about him and his sister (Teresa Giudice) talking again, I realized that we do live in a world where you just don’t need enemies.”
While he has a point, the Housewives shows seem fertile breeding grounds for feuds. But in Eddie’s case, he’s not letting it bother him anymore.
“What she did, she did on the show, and what she did to me really wasn’t that big a deal,” he continued. In case you forgot, Vicki had several cast members over for a gathering, and accusations surfaced that Tamra’s husband could be gay. Eddie has denied those claims.
“What I really was bothered with is how she treated you,” Eddie explained to Tamra. “And again, it’s a TV show. But when you’re fighting, you’re fighting like sisters.” He’s not wrong. Vicki and Tamra have had their own feuds over the years.
If Eddie could have his way, he’d love to see Tamra and Vicki have fun again and hang out with Vicki’s boyfriend, Michael Smith, who he thinks is a “cool cat.” And it’s not too far from the realm of reality. The girls are friends again now. Although a volatile RHOC 20 season could potentially change that again.
“At the end of the day, you got to forgive, forget, and move on,” Eddie concluded. Wow, who knew that the reconciliation between Teresa and Joe could inspire more Bravo feuds to become water under the bridge?
Real Housewives of Orange County is streaming on Peacock.
