RHOC’s Tamra Judge SHADES ‘unbelievable’ show and ‘inauthentic’ friendships on season 16 after she was fired from series

REAL Housewives of Orange County’s Tamra Judge threw shade at the “unbelievable” reality show and the “inauthentic” friendships seen from season 16 after she was fired from the Bravo series.

Tamra, 54, shared her thoughts on the Real Housewives show with Entertainment Tonight.

The former RHOC star posted a nearly two-minute video on Twitter.

The ex-reality star tweeted: “Spilled my thoughts to Entertainment Tonight on this season of #RHOC. My girl Teddi Mellencamp is always getting me in trouble,” along with a laughing emoji. 

Teddi, 39, responded first to the question and made snoring noises while pretending to fall asleep.

Tamra revealed: “I don’t know. One episode’s good. The next one, I’m like ehhh.

“You know what, it’s a transition year is what the girls are saying. It’s a whole new cast trying to become friends.

“They’re acting like they’re friends. They’re very unbelievable.”

When talking about Noella Bergener, 36, one of the younger castmates on season 16, Tamra replied: “Thank God for Noella! She’s actually driving the show.

“When I met her, she acted a little bit differently than she does on the show.

“So I think if she gets a second chance, she’ll still stir the pot, be beautiful, and wear amazing clothes, but yet calm her t*ts down a little.”

Teddi added: “A little more comfortable. And an authentic friendship in there I think.”

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star hosts a podcast with Tamra titled, Two Ts in a Pod.

‘I’M SAD TO GO’

Back in January 2020, Tamra announced her exit after 12 years on the Bravo series.

She wrote: “It’s been a wild 12 years. But it’s time for me to move on. I’m sad to go, but I’m very excited about my future. Love you guys.”

The Celeb Report exclusively reported that the executives had attempted to demote her role because her salary was too high for her storyline.

The insider said: “She was making too much money after so many seasons.

“It wasn’t worth it to them anymore to keep her full-time.”

‘I’M NOT CHEAP’

The TV star confirmed those high salary allegations with her Bravo boss Andy Cohen, 53, on Instagram Live.

Tamra told her ex-boss: “I’m not cheap Andy, and that’s why I got fired!

“All the time, daily. I said, ‘There is no one I would rather be going through this than you. We’re talking this through.”

The TV personality opened up about how the firing was difficult for her.

She continued: “It’s kind of like a death. I’ve been in the Bravo family for 12 years. I’m a red-headed stepchild now. It is what it is. It’s a very long run.

“I’ve been crying for three days. I haven’t slept or eaten. But I’ll be alright.”
