In a Real Housewives of Orange County preview, Tamra Judge confronted Heather Dubrow for “admitt[ing] you’re afraid of me,” and Heather then questioned their friendship. Meanwhile, Emily Simpson questioned Tamra’s motives for meeting with Katie Ginella.
Last week at a cake-decorating party at Tamra’s home, Heather confirmed that she doesn’t trust Tamra. Tamra later declared that she was quitting the show again. Heather and Tamra then argued, before Heather (and the rest of the cast) seemed to get tired of it and left Tamra’s house.
In a preview for the upcoming episode, Gina Kirschenheiter met Tamra and Heather for lunch — and defended Tamra.
“I’ve been talking with Tamra,” said Gina, via @therealhousewiveszone on Instagram. “It’s becoming very overwhelming for her because when anything happens now with her real friends, now it feels like everybody.”
“I completely understand that,” said Heather. “Listen, I love you. You are my friend.”
Tamra clapped back.
“First of all, you’ve admitted you’re afraid of me, and now you’ve admitted you don’t trust me,” said Tamra. “So why would you be friends with me?”
“I explained that to you, but I’ll explain it again,” said Heather.
“You don’t need to be condescending to me,” Tamra responded.
“I’m not being condescending, but we did talk about it,” Heather continued. “My explanations are never good enough.” In a confessional, Heather added, “She can’t dictate how I feel. Why are you gonna be mad at me for being honest with you? How is that a friendship?”
Back in the scene, Tamra went on, “And the fact that you guys both did it in front of Gretchen, who just gloms onto any information about me … is worse.”
“Well, I’m sorry that we hurt you, but if you think I’m brushing over when [Gretchen] does something, I am not,” said Heather. “I even said to her, you’re using Slade conveniently.”
“I appreciate you apologizing … I just have to work through it,” said Tamra, who seemingly began to cry.
In another scene, Emily met with Gretchen and shaded Tamra’s choice to meet up with Katie.
“Apparently, Tamra reached out to Katie and wanted to meet with her,” said Emily. “All of a sudden, Katie has credibility? Give me a f**king break.”
“The thing about Tamra is that all of a sudden she’s gonna believe Katie because it fits her narrative now,” Gretchen responded.
In a confessional, Emily added, “You’re gonna sit across from a person who is a known pathological liar, and you’re gonna ask them to give you the truth so then you can use it to hurt Gretchen? It’s just bulls**t.”
