Gretchen Rossi Cheers On Alexis Bellino For Schooling Tamra Judge At ‘RHOC’ Reunion
Gretchen Rossi apparently loves the fact that Alexis Bellino criticized Tamra Judge on The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion show. On part one of the season 10 reunion show, which aired on Monday night, host Andy Cohen read out an e-mail that Alexis had sent to him regarding Tamra’s renewed Christian faith. In her e-mail, Alexis bashed Tamra for using Christianity as a storyline and basically questioned whether she has really changed from being a bully.
Gretchen posted a tweet that expressed delight at Alexis calling out Tamra’s bad behavior. Gretchen ended her tweet by telling Alexis, whom she referred to be her nickname, that she’s proud of her. “#proudofyouLex,” Gretchen wrote.
Omg! @alexisbellino schooled @Tamrabarney with that letter calling her out for continuing to be unkind and … https://t.co/2YDc9aPOaa

Gretchen also tweeted that Tamra owes Alexis, whom she once repeatedly called “Jesus Jugs” during a reunion show, an apology for constantly making fun of her Christian faith during their time together on the show. Gretchen added that Tamra owes several of her former and current Real Housewives co-stars apologies.
@TheB3atGirl @AlexisBellino to a few of us actually but definitely to Alexis for always bashing her Christianity

Tamra and Vicki Gunvalson both used to criticize Gretchen during their time together on the show. Recently, Vicki has expressed regret over her past behavior towards Gretchen and said that she would rather Rossi return to the show instead of Meghan King Edmonds.

In response to someone who wrote that Tamra has changed, Gretchen told that person to keep drinking the Kool-Aid.
@SteezBrrgrr @AlexisBellino @TamraBarney keep drinking that koolaide, I know I did for a while ???

In response to another person who said that Tamra behaved badly in the past because she was so hurt by what she was going through in her personal life, a reference to her child custody battle with ex-husband Simon Barney, Gretchen said that Tamra always uses her personal circumstances as an excuse for her behavior. Gretchen, whose previous fiance died of cancer, pointed out that she has gone through horrible times in her life, but she never used that as a hall pass to treat other people poorly.

Tamra Judge fought back against Gretchen Rossi’s tweets. She expressed her complete agreement with someone who said that Alexis Bellino didn’t “school” Tamra with her e-mail but just showed how un-Christian she is.
When that same person said that Gretchen should have never been cast on Real Housewives since she was never a wife, Tamra wrote that from what she hears, she will never be a wife. Does Tamra have some juicy gossip on Gretchen’s relationship that she’s just waiting to use against her?
On season 8, Gretchen got engaged to her long-time boyfriend, Slade Smiley. The two have yet to set finalized wedding plans. In June, they told OK! Magazine that a previous wedding date was canceled when they realized that most of their guests could’t make it. Since then, they have said that they are too busy with their careers to set another wedding date.
On the season 10 finale epiode, Tamra was shown getting baptized.

Prior to her baptism, Tamra gave a speech in which she expressed regret for her past behavior and vowed to change. On Monday night’s reunion show, Andy read Alexis’ e-mail, which was signed “Jesus Barbie,” that questioned Tamra’s supposed renewed faith.
“I cannot sit back and watch a mockery being made of my savior. The greatest part about a walk with God is that he loves you where you are. You don’t need to be perfect. However, that doesn’t give you a hall pass to become baptized and then continue your old unkind and manipulative ways. Someone’s faith is not for entertainment…”
When asked for her reaction, Tamra Judge pointed out that Alexis’ e-mail was not very Christian of her. She said that she always made fun of Alexis, who was on The Real Housewives of Orange County from seasons 5 through 8 alongside Gretchen Rossi, because she was always talking about how Christian she was but then do things that contradicted her supposed belief.
“She’s the type of Christian who gives Christians a bad name…If she was a good Christian, she would probably not be judging me right now.”
