‘RHOC’ Star Tamra Judge Claims Everyone Knew Kelly Dodd Was Cheating, They Just Didn’t Say It
Tamra Judge is finally speaking out against all of the rumors leveled against her on Season 11 of The Real Housewives of Orange County. When it comes to newcomer Kelly Dodd, Judge says that everybody knew she was cheating; they just never brought it up.
According to Reality Tea, Judge sat down for a podcast with comedian Heather McDonald and immediately dug into Dodd’s alleged affair with Frank. Everyone on the show apparently knew about Dodd’s romance with Frank, and the rumors cropped up before and after production of Season 11 wrapped.
“This is like not news news in Newport. I’ve heard it; we’ve all heard it… We’ve been hearing it forever. For me, it’s like a rumor, so none of us brought it up on the show.”
Dodd’s affair with Frank isn’t the only rumor swirling about the RHOC star. Judge went on to explain that there are so many rumors about her co-star that it’s hard to keep up. Without any evidence to back up the claims, however, everyone on the show kept quiet.
“That’s why it’s so frustrating that she brought up all these rumors! Because we’ve heard allllll these things: her being arrested, the Frank, the running some girl off the road, beating up her neighbor… like there were so many rumors out there,” she stated. “And because it’s a rumor, it’s like that’s just exactly what it is. If you have no proof, then don’t say anything.”
While Judge never talked about the affair in front of the camera, she asked Dodd if the rumors were true. In response, Dodd assured her that she was only “really good friends” with Frank and nothing romantic was happening between them. Of course, Judge wasn’t the only cast member who disagreed.
“[Others] have pretty strong opinions they know for sure,” Judge added. “I should not be the one, or Shannon [Beador] should not be the one, she’s blaming. She should blame herself. You can’t cheat, and then say, ‘you’re behind this.'”
With Season 11 over and the three-part reunion ahead, there’s no telling if Dodd’s alleged affair will be discussed on the show. In the meantime, Judge might find herself in a little hot water after the FBI opened an investigation into a photo of Vicki Gunvalson’s nude breasts.
Radar Online reports that a picture of Gunvalson’s boobs was sent by a cast member to an underage girl, who promptly leaked the photo on social media. Was Judge behind it all?
“Tamra Judge (aka Tamra Barney) of Rancho Santa Margarita CA, co-owner of CUT FITNESS (with husband Eddie Judge) electronically sent a nude photograph of an acquaintance of hers (taken at a small private gathering) to a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL and asked her to distribute it online in an effort to humiliate and harass one Vicki Gunvalson (owner of Coto Insurance),” Rosalie Coleman wrote in an official complaint to the FBI.
While the FBI investigates the matter, an insider revealed that Gunvalson wants to apologize to the underage girl for being dragged into the drama. She also knows who sent the girl the photo but wants to let the FBI handle the matter.
“The photo was leaked last week to a handful of people and it was removed right away. So when it came out today Vicki was shocked,” the source explained. “But she knows that karma will take care of this person and now that there is an FBI complaint, it is just a matter of time before there are official charges filed.”
It isn’t known if Tamra Judge was really behind the release of Gunvalson’s nude photo, but it is clear that their friendship is over for good.
People is reporting that Judge is sick and tired of Gunvalson spreading rumors about her husband, Eddie, and has severed ties with her RHOC co-star forever. Judge accused Gunvalson of saying that Eddie is actually gay and that he cheats on Judge on a regular basis.
Coupled with Gunvalson’s cancer scandal with Brooks Ayers last season, the latest rumors were the final straw for Judge.
“Vicki has been spreading rumors about me and Eddie for about four years. She didn’t know that I knew. And so I said basically if she did one more thing to me this season, I’m done,” Judge explained.
Judge believes that Gunvalson used Dodd as a puppet this season and knew that she would mention everyone’s dirt once she started drinking. In the end, Judge cannot trust Gunvalson anymore and is at a point where she is “not speaking to her” at all.
According to Us Magazine, Judge also defended her husband against the gay rumors during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. After a called asked if Eddie was gay, Judge fired back by insisting he is straight.
“Why [do you think he seems gay]?” she said. “Because he’s hot?!”
