Tamra Judge and Heather Dubrow: Insights from the RHOC Cast

Tamra Judge recalls how she hired and eventually fired from RHOC.

Tamra Judge may not be naming names, but the writing is on the wall.

The returning OC Housewife reveals that one of her Real Housewives of Orange County castmates is rude AF to production.

The 55-year-old made this claim on a recent episode of her and Teddi Mellencamp‘s Two T’s in a Pod podcast.

Tamra said:

“I’m not going to name somebody, but I will say that we have one on our cast right now that does not treat production well.”

Teddi then asked if the unnamed Housewife is “the one we would assume by what we watched the season you weren’t on,” to which Tamra replied, “yes.”

It’s pretty clear that Tamra is talking about co-star Heather Dubrow. During season 16 of RHOC, Heather was accused by Noella Bergener of getting physical with a member of production while filming episode two.

Tamra discussed this accusation during an appearance on Jeff Lewis Live in June 2022, saying, “there’s a lot of rumors. Noella tried to talk about it, and she was shut down pretty quickly.” 

She noted:

“I think where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”

The mom of four made it clear that Heather denied the accusations before admitting she’s “never known Heather to be physical.”

“I’ve never seen that side of her, so and then when Noella mentioned it, and nobody else supported her, it makes you wonder did it really happen.”

While appearing on Jeff Lewis Live, RHOC alum Kelly Dodd entered the chat claiming that former producer Thomas Kelly told her that “Heather Dubrow did push him.” Tamra confirmed the claim before noting that she told Thomas Kelly not to go public with his allegation.

“He got fired, he thinks [Dubrow is] the reason why. And I told him, ‘you know, it’s just best if you don’t talk about it publicly because it’s going to affect your career with Bravo.’”

Season 17 of RHOC will star Heather Dubrow, Gina Kirschenheiter, Shannon Beador, Emily Simpson, Taylor Armstrong, and Tamra. The new season is expected to premiere in the next few months on Bravo.

Just like Tamra to attack another HW without naming her...but then making it clear who she is talking about. I assumed this was Heather, but it also could have been Vicki, who is just as self-entitled and self-important as Heather and who has been known to treat production as her personal servants. Too bad Thomas Kelly didn't report Heather's physical harassment. If it had been a man doing this to a woman, Tamra would never have advised her to stay quiet.

It’s Heather. How pathetic they keep quiet. Speak up. When Heather came back last season she had a lot of power because Bravo made promises to get her to save the OC franchise…and what happened: ratings fell another 30%!!! Down to 750,000 viewers. If Andy would have listened to fan base, but he refused ..he tanked a great show with bad casting by bringing in Brauwynn from Miami (never a OC HW) and Gina (never a OC HW/Long Island, NY) to start. Heather strong arming everyone, including production and it further tanked the show. Try listening to the fan base Andy/Bravo. It may help. The new OC casting is better, but Gina needs to go and Heather needs some humble pie.

Well said JSHD, I agree and I think people were too quick to dismiss Noella at that time, unfortunately!

Look how Terry treats Paul making fun of him thinking he's funny, it bothers Paul you can see it on his face, Terry hides his bs better.

Remember how Terry was so rude and condescending to David Beador at a dinner party? They are NOT nice people.

Indeed. Say what you want about Kelly Dodd (no really, say it ?), but she has the Dubrow’s number. Yes siree Bob, she sure does. https://media0.giphy.com/media/3orif8rTJGaGk9jbsk/giphy.gif
