Another day, another drinking story from the Real Housewives of Orange County. And this time it’s not Shannon Beador in the hot seat, but Tamra Judge. The RHOC star and Two Ts In A Pod host revealed that she was asked by producers to watch her drinking. Pot calling kettle, anyone? Tamra has literally spent all of Season 18 counting each and every drink Shannon has consumed. Still, it’s interesting she did not share this information while filming. So what made Tamra decide to finally spill the tea now?
Tamra Judge says she “drank more than normal” due to the “pressure” of returning to RHOC
After a brief hiatus, Tamra roared back into our lives on a Harley Davidson for RHOC Season 17. And love her or hate her, she makes the show entertaining. It’s hard to believe Tamra could get cold feet about returning, but even seasoned veterans can get nervous.
Tamra decided to share her story of drinking more than usual during her podcast with Teddi Mellencamp. The besties were chatting about Real Housewives of Dubai’s Caroline Brooks. Caroline came in hot during Season 2, and the cast was concerned about her drinking. So much so that during the reunion, Taleen Marie apologized for calling Brooks an alcoholic. Any takers Tamra will do the same for Shannon during their reunion?
Teddi brought up Andy Cohen breaching the subject with Brooks. She said, “Andy asks Brooks how her state of mind was during the first half of the season. I appreciated Brooks in this moment.” Tamra agreed, “Yes, she did admit to the fact that she was drinking more than usual.”
Teddi stated, “I was actually surprised that Andy said producers even told her that.” Then Tamra decided to spill the tea. She said, “That must have been a problem during the time of filming. My first season back last year, actually, I was so nervous cause I felt so much pressure on me that I drank more than normal. I remember Luke telling me, ‘watch your drinking.’”
Well, Tamra might have listened to producers last year, but this season she was dancing up on a bar Coyote Ugly style. Perhaps this revelation will inspire Tamra to give some empathy towards Shannon, who also continues to drink.
Real Housewives of Orange County airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
