Let’s be honest. Deep down in our reality TV-loving hearts, we knew that Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge would find their way back to each other. We just didn’t know when. Now, it’s all happening! The Real Housewives of Orange County stars just reunited after another years-long feud. We’ve got the details on how their friendship got back on track.
The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Vicki Gunvalson reunited with Tamra Judge
Vicki and Tamra have been on again and off again with their friendship more times than we can count. Their latest feud happened after Tamra dropped out of a Tres Amigas tour with Vicki and Shannon Beador.
However, that’s all water under the bridge. After nearly two years on the outs, the RHOC stars reunited for an ad for FlavCity Café. But, this isn’t just sponcon. They actually smoothed over their friendship, and they spoke to Us Weekly all about it.
“We’ve had a lot of ups and downs in our 20 years. I always say we’re like sisters,” Tamra said. “It’s that love-hate relationship all the time. I’m talking sisterly love, like, you have little arguments. And then, of course, being on a show together, there’s always ups and downs — especially the type of show that we were on together.”
According to Tamra, a turning point in their feud happened when Vicki reached out to Teddi Mellencamp to show support amid her cancer journey. Tamra said that was an eye-opening gesture, and it helped her realize that Vicki wasn’t so bad after all.
“When Vicki reached out to Teddi and she sent her a nice gift, I was like, ‘Vicki’s got a good heart,’” Tamra recalled. “She knows what it’s like when it comes to illness and things like that.”
Although there’s plenty of juicy Bravo drama to gossip about, both of the ladies admitted that they didn’t spend their time together talking about RHOC. Instead, their reunion consisted of genuine conversations about life, family, and relationships. It’s the exact type of chat two friends should have after a long time apart.
“It felt good … I don’t have any conflict with friends or relationships,” Vicki said of the reunion. “If I do, I try to fix them. And, yeah, I’m a fixer.”
She continued, “It was weighing on me that Tamra and I hadn’t met, and we got approached by FlavCity and no toxins, and it’s like, ‘We got to do this. We got to meet.’”
Shoutout to FlavCity for helping to broker this peace deal. Now, we just need someone to get them both on RHOC Season 20. Can FlavCity make that happen, too?
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo. You can stream it the next day on Peacock, or Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
