Tamra Judge hinted at DMs she’s received from current and past cast members of Real Housewives of New York City about Jessel Taank amid their recent feud, as Carole Radziwill reacted.
On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, Tamra called Jessel the “village idiot” of RHONY. In response, Jessel went to Threads and clapped back. The Real Housewives of Orange County star then corrected Jessel’s grammar, telling her to use the word “than” instead of “then.”
Recently, on Two Ts in a Pod, Tamra doubled down on her claim that Jessel is good for RHONY because “every show needs a village idiot.”
“I got people from the cast reach out to me [about Jessel]. I had people from the old cast reach out to me. I’ve had people that have worked with her [including her] makeup artist reach out to me to say some not so nice things [her],” said Tamra.
She also called it a “problem” that Tamra herself had to correct Jessel’s grammar. Tamra added, “Jessel’s been on for three seasons, and two of them were reboots because her seasons were so boring.”
In a comment on Threads, Carole shared her reaction to Tamra’s shade. (In the new season, Carole suggested that Jessel has “dingbat” vibes after Jessel questioned her about her late friend Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.)
“Chefs kiss is when you describe someone in less-than-flattering terms, and they immediately prove you right,” wrote Carole. “Been there babe. 😂”
After Tamra called Jessel an “idiot” on WWHL, Jessel wrote on Threads, “Lollllll I think this comment says more about her then [sic] it does about me.”
Tamra responded, “I think you mean THAN but thank you for proving my point.”
Jessel clapped back, “Hardly the ‘gotcha’ moment you think it is… but hey… look, you’re semi-relevant again! Enjoy it while it lasts, sweetie.”
Tamra then wrote, “Not a two-time rebooter talking about me being relevant. … I’ve been here for the last 19 years! Call me when you make it 16 seasons.”
New episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County air Thursday nights on Bravo, while new episodes of The Real Housewives of New York City air Tuesday nights on the same network.
