Tamra Judge Is Done with Vicki Gunvalson After Brooks Ayers’ Cancer Scandal
“I think that she’s caught up in the show, and she just doesn’t know what her reality is anymore,” she told host Jenny McCarthy.
“The Real Housewives of Orange County” turned on original cast member Vicki Gunvalson last season when she supported boyfriend Brooks Ayers despite mounting evidence that he faked medical records about his alleged cancer treatment — and the ladies questioned Gunvalson’s involvement in the scam.
“You hang out with dogs, you get fleas, so maybe she needs a flea collar,” Tamra Judge said of that relationship Monday on “Dirty, Sexy, Funny” with Jenny McCarthy.
Judge, 48, said their up-and-down friendship is officially over.
“I took her back this year, accepted her apology — well, her half-ass apology — forgave the past and tried to move on, only to get burned again. She was behind my back with a machete this time,” she explained. “We have so much fun this year, and I’m like, ‘Oh my friend’s back, she’s away from the douche, now she’s gonna be like the old Vicki.’ No. Not so much.”
She added, “It actually hurts my feelings, because we’ve been friends off and on for 10 years. So we’ve gone through a lot together.”
As for whether simply growing apart or the pressure of their TV series precipitated their fight, Judge said, “I think that she’s caught up in the show, and she just doesn’t know what her reality is anymore. When you create a storyline, that’s when it’s time for you to go. So the O.G. might need to G.O.”
