Last week before episode five of Real Housewives of Orange County aired, Tamra Barney warned viewers that she may offend them when they watched the show later that evening!
What Tamra was talking about was an interview shot of her saying Eddie’s “inner beaner” came out when they were having dinner at a Mexican restaurant and Eddie properly pronounced the menu items in Spanish (which I thought was really cute, by the way).
Bravo has since bleeped Tamra saying “beaner” in future airings, but Tamra is revealing that she is pissed that production aired that footage! She insists that it’s a joke between Eddie and her, that it was not meant to be aired, and she also apologizes to anyone who may have been offended.

So I hear Bravo is now bleeping my comment “Inner-beaner” I begged the producers not to air it . It is a running joke between me and Eddie and was said messing around while filming and NOT to be aired. I apologize to anyone that I offended. I love Eddie so much and yes he is Hispanic and I wouldn’t have it any other way. But now i am pissed that I was TOLD how funny it was buy production and they MUST air It! When I knew it wasn’t right and would be offensive to some. Yes it’s a joke between Me and my latin love and that will never change . Not meant for anyone else.Tamra should have known that anything said while the camera is on is fair game! I don’t think she is racist since she’s clearly marrying a Mexican, and living in SoCal you really have to be cool with the “beaners” because we are everywhere! While I was not offended by Tamra’s comment, I do think it’s best not to say things like that on TV when millions are watching you because so many people are sensitive. Do you think Tamra was offensive?
