Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson, stars of “Real Housewives of Orange County,” have experienced significant ups and downs in their friendship since meeting in 2008, marked by conflicts over relationships, reconciliations, and public disputes.
Oh boy, where do I even start with Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson? These two have been on a roller coaster of friendship since, like, forever. Or at least since 2008 when Tamra joined the “Real Housewives of Orange County” and Vicki took her under her wing. I mean, talk about drama from the get-go.
They clicked instantly, bonding over their mutual dislike for another cast member, Gretchen Rossi. Classic Housewives, right? But then, oh then, came Brooks Ayers into the picture during season 7. Tamra was all, “I don’t trust this guy,” and Vicki was like, “Don’t rain on my parade.”
Arguments over Ayers really put a strain on their friendship. They’d make up, then fall out again. It was a never-ending cycle. By 2016, Tamra was pretty much done, telling Jenny McCarthy on her SiriusXM show that she was “burned.”
Fast forward through the years, and it’s been a wild ride of ups and downs. They’d patch things up, only to fall out again. Like in 2017, Tamra was all, “I care about her, but I’m hurt.” And by 2018, they seemed to have buried the hatchet once more. Tamra was like, “Just say sorry, and we’re good.”
2019 was a bit of a turning point when Vicki got demoted on RHOC. Tamra showed her some love on Instagram, proving that despite everything, there’s a strong bond there. But then, both of them left the show in 2020. Drama, drama, drama.
They rekindled their friendship on “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” in 2022, and it seemed like old times. Vicki even admitted to being a tad jealous when Tamra returned to RHOC without her. But hey, that’s friendship for you.
And now, in 2024, they’re feuding again over some “Tres Amigas” drama with Shannon Beador. Tamra’s calling Vicki a “f–king liar” on Jeff Lewis’ show, blaming the fallout on backstabbing. Honestly, with these two, who knows what’s next?
It’s like watching a soap opera, but you can’t help rooting for them to figure it out. They’ve been through so much together – marriages, divorces, health scares. Here’s hoping they can navigate this latest drama. Because let’s face it, RHOC wouldn’t be the same without their roller coaster of a friendship.
