This season of The Real Housewives of Orange County has been a wild ride. Not only has Tamra Judge been stirring the pot, but we also just got a cameo from Teddi Mellencamp, and OG Vicki Gunvalson has made several appearances.

Now, Tamra is defending her podcast co-host and throwing shade in Vicki’s direction — while also sharing which co-star she believes won’t be returning next season.

Teddi has the internet talking following her appearance on RHOC. On the most recent episode, the cast members played Traitors, and Teddi was the host. She got the ball rolling by saying, “Welcome Housewives… and Vicki,” which is a dig at her no longer holding an orange. 

According to Heavy, Teddi talked about the experience on a recent Two Ts in a Pod podcast episode. About Vicki, she said, “She came in and the second that we got there, she was complaining about the time. ‘How much time until we’re done? I don’t want the drama.’ Then don’t be here.”

Tamra then chimed in and said she thinks this season is Vicki’s final chance on the show. 

“She won’t be back. I can tell you right now,” said Tamra about Vicki.

The outspoken RHOC star went on to say that part of the reason she doesn’t think “the OG of the OC” will be back is because she made disparaging comments about the show on social media before this new season started. Plus, she hasn’t held an orange for a number of years now. However, she goes on to say Vicki has been shading her on social media as a potential way to return as a full-time cast member. 

Tamra continued, “I think that’s why she’s coming after me and why she’s saying all these horrible things. Because she thinks that’s going to get her back on the show.”

Tamra also doesn’t see a future for their friendship, saying, “I will never speak to that desperate woman ever again in my life. All of the sudden she’s going off on me on social media. Doing interviews. I’m like, ‘What the hell did I do to you?’” 

In a recent interview with Bravo, Tamra addressed Teddi’s dig at Vicki over her status with the show. According to Tamra, “That just kind of slipped out of [Teddi’s] mouth. She tries to blame me for it but I’m not the one who told her to say it. Her and Vicki have had this long feud going on.”

When asked if Teddi and Vicki have made up, she responded, “I don’t think there’s [a relationship right now]. I think Vicki continues to just trash her. She’s just thirsty, as far as I’m concerned. Vicki’s been nothing but horrible to her for no reason. She doesn’t even know her. So she thought it was a good idea to just stick it to her.”

Fans can watch new episodes of RHOC on Thursday nights.
