Tamra Judge Addresses Affair Rumors on Jeff Lewis’ Podcast
Tamra Judge recently spoke out regarding rumors that a husband from The Real Housewives of Orange County was allegedly involved in an affair during BravoCon. This discussion took place on the Jeff Lewis podcast on November 21.
Producers’ Focus on Drama
During the episode, Tamra, 58, expressed her frustration over how producers have chosen to overlook her personal life, business ventures, and podcast, instead highlighting her dramatic interactions with fellow cast members. She reflected on her role as the series’ villain, commented on Emily Simpson’s interactions with bloggers, and responded to Heather Dubrow, 56, not supporting her during the season 19 reunion.
Denial of Infidelity Claims
When questioned about Ana Quincoces, 60, who claimed to have evidence of infidelity regarding the unnamed husband, Tamra stated, “I don’t believe that.” She added, “Ana was out there saying that I never went to the hospital when Teddi was sick, so sometimes people don’t fact-check and say things that aren’t necessarily true.”
Frustration with Portrayal
Tamra expressed her dissatisfaction with how her life is portrayed on RHOC. “We don’t show my businesses. We hardly show any of my home life. It’s things that I honestly would like to change. I think it would show a different side to me. I think it would show a softer side to me,” she stated. “But it’s not up to me because I want it and I’ve been wanting it.”
Comparison with Other Franchises
She also noted that other franchises, like The Real Housewives of Potomac, showcase different aspects of their cast members’ lives. “On Potomac, they’re opening cannabis companies, and I was told way back when I opened mine up six years ago that the laws were a little unclear, and we don’t want to get in trouble. I’ve had it for six years, but there’s been no talk about it,” Tamra remarked.
Insights on Her Podcast
Regarding her podcast with Teddi Mellencamp, 44, titled Two Ts in a Pod, Tamra acknowledged the limited mentions of it in the show. “It’s about Housewives shows, and it would be breaking the fourth wall… but we’re breaking the fourth wall all the time. They use my clips if I say something bad,” she explained.
Typecasting as a Villain
Tamra believes that producers prefer to highlight a more confrontational version of her. “All they want to show is a heightened me and a fighting me. I’m typecast as the villain,” she explained. She further noted that a case against her appeared to be constructed shortly after filming concluded. “This case was built within one week after we stopped filming. If it was something going on all season long, then I would understand,” she said, expressing confusion over the situation.
Reunion Dynamics
In conclusion, Tamra denied any actual evidence of her alleged leaks to bloggers, mentioning that “it came out recently that Emily was talking with bloggers” and added, “everybody’s done it.” While she acknowledged that Heather defended her in press statements at BravoCon, she felt more support was needed during the reunion. “I agree,” she responded when Jeff suggested this.
