Kiki Monique clapped back at an accusation that she “fooled” people with a story about Gretchen Rossi. The radio host then shared whether Scheana Shay was involved, and she detailed how Tamra Judge allegedly found out about the allegation (which she revealed on Real Housewives of Orange County).
In the new season, Tamra claimed a reliable journalist told her that Katie Ginella told Kiki that Gretchen had accused Tamra of drugging her in the past. Gretchen denied it. Kiki then confirmed on camera that Katie said this at a lunch.
But recently, Tamra claimed that Scheana (who’s friends with Gretchen) started it all by passing the ‘drug’ rumor to Kiki, her podcast co-host. Scheana then denied it and suggested that Tamra was scheming behind the scenes.
In a past interview on Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen asked Tamra, “Who is one Bravolebrity you are not looking forward to crossing paths with at BravoCon?”
“Scheana Shay,” answered Tamra at the time in a post shared by @bravobreakingnews on Instagram. “She created [the Gretchen stuff]. I know she’s trying so hard to get on Orange County. When we did the Upfronts, Brock and Scheana both told me that’s her dream job.”
In the comments of the post, a fan wrote, “So did Scheana REALLY start this rumor? Is that the consensus? Never thought we’d end up here and I had no idea who to believe—I know Gretchen said it to Katie but Kiki def had me fooled if this is the case.”
Kiki then responded, “Scheana did absolutely nothing. Katie told me. I fact checked with Dave Quinn off the record. Dave Quinn told Tamra. Tamra brought it up on camera.”
“It’s no mystery,” she went on, via @commentsbybravo on Instagram. “I’m the only person who has been consistent in my story. Anyone saying or suggesting otherwise is lying.”
At one point in the season, a lie detector test suggested that Katie wasn’t being truthful in her claims about Gretchen. But Katie has since publicly questioned the polygraph, hinting that her co-stars set her up.
New episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County air on Thursday nights on Bravo.
