Once upon an earlier season of Real Housewives of Orange County, Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson, and Shannon Beador were besties. They even called themselves the Tres Amigas. Realizing their fanbases needed more (and would pay), these three started taking their goofy on-air antics on the road. Then, just ahead of Season 15, Vicki and Tamra went on a pause, making Shannon an Uno Amigo on RHOC. Luckily for Tamra, her orange boomeranged back into her hands for Season 17, but her friendships with Vicki and Shannon began spiraling downwards, enough to see Vicki stating that Tamra now has a “black heart.”
Vicki thinks Tamra has a black heart for ditching The Tres Amigas
Vicki is still waiting on the return of her full-time orange. Yet, since she has beef with Tamra and is still close with Shannon, the producers wisely brought Vicki back for a pop-in during Season 18. Filming alongside Shannon, the Dos Amigas discussed their comedic road show, noting that Tamra had quit without notice. As to why Tammy Sue bounced, Shannon’s drinking was becoming an issue, and Tamra wanted no part of that.
“I’ve only had a very short convo with Tamra,” Shannon told Vicki this week, revealing that Tamra did not want to sit down and work things out with her former Amigas. Vicki hated this, quipping, “She has vinegar running through her veins and a black heart.”
In her confessional, Vicki further lashed out at Tamra. “Tamra didn’t have the balls to call me or Shannon to tell us that she didn’t want to be part of the show anymore.” Vicki then named off famous comedic duos, noting they could still pull this off sans Tamra. After calling their manager to slam Tamra, they began singing, “Just the two of us. We’re the dos amigas.”
And scene.
Tamra claps back at Vicki’s statement
Just kidding. Tamra lets zero sh*ts fly. After this episode aired, Tamra immediately took to X, the platform formally known as Twitter, to correct these claims.
“Dumb and Dumber didn’t ask me to do another Tres Amigas show. The agent did, and I responded to him. They knew why I didn’t want to move forward…” she penned, but wait, there is more. Tamra also attached proof of her claims directly from her cell phone.
Sure enough, these text messages showed an agent reaching out to Tamra. In return, Tamra promptly turned down any further gigs with The Tres Amigas.
I love a good receipt. What say you now, Vicki?
Real Housewives of Orange County airs every Thursday at 9/8c on Bravo.
