Tamra Judge Is "Extremely Sorry" for Son’s Homophobic Rant

Tamra Judge wants to make something abundantly clear: She is a strong supporter of the LGBT community. What has driven The Real Housewives of Orange County star make this point as precisely as possible? Because not only did her son go on a homophobic rant last week that included the call for a transgender individual to be murdered… … but Judge also Liked one of the posts include by her son, Ryan, in this diatribe. Back on January 17, the 33-year old brought up someone who sued a Colorado baker for refusing to make a cake celebrating this person’s gender transition. “Hopefully this guy goes on a rampage and kills whatever transgendered f-ck head took him to court. Ooops did I just say that,” Ryan Tweeted in response to the story. Ryan later added that this “country needs to kill off this f-ckery bullshit” and said: “You want to be transgender cool that’s your life but don’t push your transgender bullsh-t on me or America.” View Slideshow: Tamra Judge’s Son Pushes for Murder of a “Transgendered F-ck Head” We recapped Ryan’s heinous words above, but his Tweet storm included a link to a story about a transgender couple in Great Britain who is transitioning its five-year old child. Judge Liked this post and wrote along with her button-push: “Wow, that’s sad. 5-year-old cannot make a decision like that.” Many social media users interpreted this Like and this remark as support for her son’s views, something the veteran Bravo star did NOT attend, she now explains. Tamra and son Ryan are pictured here in a scene from an old episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. “I’d like to address the many comments regarding my son Ryan’s posts on Instagram,” wrote Judge to open a lengthy caption, which she included along with the Martin Luther King Jr. photo/quote below. “I have been extremely upset my son would post such a thing. A post that I did NOT see because he took it down immediately knowing it was WRONG,” she added. Why did she remark on the story about that British couple? “Admittedly, I had a concerned “mom” moment when referring to a post about a 5-year-old making life altering decisions. My comment did not come from a place of hate,” she said on Instagram yesterday. Ryan is the 33-year old son of Tamra and ex-husband Darren Vieth. She gave birth to him at the age of 18 and has tried to stick by him through a handful of trying situations. For example: He was arrested in 2015 on a charge of domestic abuse against his girlfriend. “I’ve encouraged Ryan to make his own amends but in the meantime, I’m extremely sorry, His words were harsh & unacceptable,” Judge wrote here of her child, concluding: “I have nothing but love & respect for the LGBTQ community….always have always will. I will continue 2019 with a renewal of peace, wellness & love for all.” Tamra shares three other children with her ex, Simon Barney: daughters Sidney, 20, and Sophia, 13, and son Spencer, 18. The reality star married Eddie Judge in June of 2013. Do you accept her apology in this case? Or do you think Tamra is full of it and still deserving of scorn?

Tamra Judge: Worried Eddie Will Die!

When Tamra Judge isn’t on reality television exposing Shannon Beador’s secret boyfriend , she’s worrying about her husband. Eddie Judge has a serious heart condition. He’s had surgeries for it and is scheduled to have more. Tamra is at her wit’s end. She’s worried that her husband could drop dead at any moment. Eddie Judge has already had seven heart surgeries in an attempt to deal with his heart condition, atrial fibrillation. As Tamra Judge revealed to Andy Cohen during the taping of the second portion of the reunion special, her husband will need to undergo two more. Sorry — at least two more heart surgeries. RadarOnline reports that one one of those surgeries is right around the corner, and Tamra is losing her mind over it. “Eddie will be having another surgery in the coming weeks,” the insider shares. The source explains that the surgery’s purpose is “to close up a hole that was left in his heart after his most recent procedure.” Every surgery is a risk, but so is this heart condition. None of this is sitting well with Tamra. “Tamra is scared to death that he is going to die,” the insider reveals. This is an extremely natural fear. One that we hope will not be realized. This latest surgery didn’t dredge up Tamra’s worries out of the blue. She’s had this concern since day one. “She has been fearing this all along,” the insider shares. “And she is trying to stay strong,” the source affirms. The insider acknowledges: “but it’s very hard.” “Just when she thinks that they fixed the problem,” the source characterizes. “He needs another operation.” Recently, Tamra herself spoke on this topic. “I have to stay strong,” she affirmed. “But I’m super scared because I’m just afraid what if? What if?” “What if he has a heart attack?” she asks, for example. “He has a stroke?” “All these things. Like the other day, he wouldn’t wake up,” she shares. That sounds harrowing. “His alarm was going off and he was just laying there so peaceful,” she characterizes. Tamra continues: “I’m like, ‘Eddie!’ And he was just laying there. I’m like, ‘Oh my god, he died!’ I’m like, ‘Eddie!’ Like that.” Tamra has spoken in the past about how she feels that Eddie’s body has betrayed him. Eddie Judge is 45 years old, and will turn 46 in March of 2019. Atrial fibrillation is a little surprising in someone his age.  Though the condition is considered “very common” in adults aged 41 to 60, it is often associated with old age. Additionally, Tamra is a fitness buff and Eddie keeps his body extremely fit. Sometimes, those who devote themselves to exercise are more surprised when their bodies develop life-threatening conditions. Atrial fibrillation is different from, say, a simple heart attack. In the simplest possible terms, the heart malfunctions and that can change one’s resting heartrate and blood pressure. There are a number of solutions. A procedure known as a cardioversion can shock the heartrate into returning to a normal rhythm. Some even get pacemakers to ensure that their heartrate remains stable. We hope that Eddie can resolve this condition and make a full recovery. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Orange County Premiere Just Gave Us So Much More Hope For Season 13

The Voice Recap: Who Got The Boot?

Night three of the Battle Rounds brought more of the same Monday night: The wrong people being sent home. Well, mostly.  As is becoming the norm with this series, the coaches are keeping the people around they think viewers are tuning in for.  But who went home? Find out below. Team Blake: Dave Fenley vs. Keith Paluso – “I’m a One-Woman Man” It was clear from the get-go that this was Dave’s competition to lose. Keith was all over the place in rehearsals, forgetting things and just coming across as though he could care less.  When the performance actually kicked off, both men started well, but Keith quickly faltered, leaving Dave to take the whole thing.  As expected, Blake opted to stick with Dave as opposed to Keith, but Adam gave Keith a reprieve. The issue here is that Keith is not doing very well, and Adam could be setting himself up for failure.  Time will tell.  Team Adam: Reagan Strange vs. Emily Hough – “Photograph” These two girls became friends thanks to the process and didn’t want to battle one another, but they don’t get to pick the rules.  While they started the battle well, Reagan quickly towered above her competitor, but that’s not to say Emily was bad.  There was a lot to like about her voice, but Adam went with his gut and kept Reagan in the competitive loop.  Team Jennifer: Franc West vs. Matt Johnson – “Too Close” This battle was the closest of the night. Franc and Matt have distinctly different voices, but they both killed it during their battle.  Matt definitely had the edge, but Jennifer opted to send him home.  Team Kelly: Abby Cates vs. Delaney Silvernell – “Love Me Like You Do”  Delaney continued to struggle with her nerves during the rehearsals, and Kelly wondered whether they would be addressed by the time the show actually kicked off.  Unfortunately, they were not, and it resulted in a shaky performance that allowed Abby the time she needed to shine.  Kelly kept Abby in the game, and Adam decided to give Delaney another shot, presumably because he knew there was a star in there somewhere.  Team Adam: Jake Wells vs. Natalie Brady – “Closing Time” Jake wondered why he was paired with Natalie because they had different appearances. Natalie was just happy to still be in the game, so she continued to sing.  When put together, they were probably on the same level, but that was not enough to keep them both there. Jake secured the win, and there was no steal for Natalie.  Team Jennifer: Tyshawn Colquitt vs. Zaxai – “Love Lies” Tyshawn wowed everyone with his audition and continued to excel during this final battle of the night. Zaxai was solid, but there was something about his vocals that were not up to par with Tyshawn’s.  In any case, Jennifer stuck with Tyshawn while Kelly took on Zaxai.  View Slideshow: The Voice Winners: RANKED!

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Shannon Beador Flips Out

Shannon Beador has been battling to stay in control of her emotions throughout the most recent season of The Real Housewives of Orange County.  With a messy divorce dragging her down, she’s been taking it out on her friends, and things went nuclear on Monday’s episode of the Bravo hit thanks to claims that her attitude, well, stinks.  When the episode got underway, the ladies were still in Jamaica, and Gina Kirschenheiter was still going on about how Beador did not give their friendship a chance.  If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , you know that Shannon has been distant from the new additions to the cast, and despite their best efforts to make friends with her, she’s shut them down at every turn.  Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson, Kelly Dodd, and Emily Simpson started to chat about Shannon’s wellbeing in her company, and things quickly got heated.  “Are you serious? So we’re going to do a goddamn f—— straight-jacket intervention right now? Are you kidding me?” Beador yelled in her defense after being accused of turning to alcohol to cope with everything that’s going on.  “I feel blindsided,” a clearly irate Beador complained as she tried to get away from the situation, and she did not want to be filmed. “I just need a minute. Stop, I mean it. Stop following me, I swear to God, I will take the mic off. You guys need to stop. … I need a minute, and I deserve it,” she continued to yell.  As we’ve reported on several times, Judge felt like Shannon was neglecting her friendships as she has become absorbed by all the things going in her personal life.  “I love Shannon, but the constant negativity and dwelling on things that really don’t matter is tiresome to me,” Judge explained in a confessional, adding: “We all have a hard time when we’re getting divorced. We all have outbursts, I did. But it’s been six months. She can’t keep treating people badly because she’s getting divorced.” “This has been months of buildup. She wants to bitch and complain all the time and not fix anything,” Judge continued. “In her head, she’s the busiest person in the world, and she doesn’t get it. She’s never worked. David took care of everything. … She cries every single night. … I’m legit 100 percent worried about her.” Always one to throw in her two cents, Vicki was there to stick the knife into her pal.  “That was a big red flag for me … it just masks the pain,” Gunvalson stated when the others claimed she was using alcohol to mask her pain. “I think she needs us. … She should get on something because sometimes you can’t handle your feelings,” she continued. “When Don and I were going through our separation and divorce, I did go on an anti-depressant because I couldn’t function, I was crying so much. It got me through the bumps.” “It’s depression, she’s depressed,” added Dodd. “David must have been kind of a saint to stay up with that. She’s a good girl, and I think the world of her. But to have to deal with that day in and day out? It’s got to be draining,” she continued. “I only have to deal with Shannon on a friendship level. I couldn’t imagine being married to that and having to live with that every single day. It affects everybody.” When Tamra and Shannon actually got to chat about how they felt, Shannon was not willing to accept what happened.  “I am so beyond hurt, Tamra,” Beador admitted after hearing that Gina and her friend were talking smack about her. “I drop everything to answer the phone. … I’m a kind friend, and I always want to help,” Shannon said in defense of her actions. “You have no idea what I go through on a daily basis; I don’t even share half the s— with you. Half.” “I hurt. I’m sensitive,” she said. “But I’m excited about my life, and I’ve let you guys know that, so don’t sit there and say I’m goddamn crying every night, ’cause I’m not.” Dodd chimed in, telling her friend to go on medication to help her, but that caused even more problems.  “I’m not going on medication! I’m not doing it,” she shouted. “I am entitled to feel what I’ve been feeling. I’m entitled to feel my pain. … I am who I am, and I’m going through a lot of pain.”  “And I get it; everybody’s going through a lot of pain. …[But] stop acting like I’m some goddamn mental case.” But Judge was not prepared to listen anymore. There’s only so many times you can try help someone who does not want to accept there’s something wrong.  “Then cry every night, I don’t care anymore because nobody can help you,” Judge shrieked. “You don’t want to take any help. I’m trying to help you. Just listen. Stop screaming for one f—— time in your life and listen. Listen! You won’t listen!” “I can’t do this anymore,” Judge yelled at Beador. “You want to be sad your whole life, be sad your whole life. You don’t want any help, don’t get any help. I don’t give a s— anymore. … Nobody can help you. Nobody can give you any criticism. I’m trying to help you.” That was enough for Beador to realize the trip was a bust and she was done trying with the ladies, so she disappeared.  “There’s nothing worse than to feel abandoned and hurt by your friends,” said a deeply concerned Vicki. “I want Shannon to know that I love her and that I’m there for her and she’s going to get through this.” Who knew Vicki was so friendly? But Gina did not seem to care about Shannon at all.  “Why do we feel sad for Shannon?” she asked. “She’s got a lot of money. She’s got business deals. She’s got best friends. Okay, you’re 10 lbs. Overweight. Get over it; you’re not bed-ridden!” What are your thoughts on the big blow up?

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Shannon Beador Flips Out

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Vicki Gunvalson Flips Out

Vicki Gunvalson and Kelly Dodd’s friendship might never be the same again.  Monday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County picked up in the aftermath of the fight that found new housewife, Emily Simpson, threatening to kill Kelly.  But Vicki wanted to know how her boyfriend, Steve Lodge, wound up being put on blast. If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , you know that Kelly was livid to learn that Steve was friends with her ex-husband.  For Kelly, it was like a betrayal, and it was made worse that her then-BFF Vicki failed to see the issue with all of it.  Gunvalson unpacked what went down with Tamra Judge and Emily.  “Kelly thinks Steve’s mad at her, and I don’t know what’s going on,” Gunvalson solemnly said to her friends. “And now, Steve doesn’t want anything to do with her.” “Shane neither,” said Simpson as though anybody cared whether her pot stirrer husband would be friends with the newest cougar in Orange County, adding “he doesn’t have time for it.” In all honesty, Shane was the one who butted in when Dodd was trying to get the answers from Steve, so if anything, he should be apologizing to Kelly for trying to sink her storyline to get one of his own.  Emily then went on to say that she was wrong about the way she reacted to Kelly.  “I probably shouldn’t have said, ‘I’m going to kill you, but obviously it’s a figure of speech,” she said, trying to defend her actions.  “[Kelly] said the entire time, ‘I just wanna go talk to Steve and fix it,'” added Tamra of the whole scenario.  “She doesn’t give a rat’s a— about Steve, and I guarantee you she wants to see our relationship fold because she doesn’t want anyone happy,” Gunvalson balked, adding: “Miserable people like miserable people. I was there.” That’s when Tamra opted to light the fuse on the dynamite and secure her contract with the show for another season.  “She said that Steve is only with you for your money,” she said while acting like it was not going to cause another war between the housewives.  “I thought it appropriate to tell Vicki about what’s being said because the worst thing in this group is a rumor going to another person, another person, another person and not the person who’s directly involved,” Tamra said in defense of her actions.  “Of course Kelly says that!” Gunvalson screamed as she stopping chopping vegetables. “Shame on her for talking about my relationship. It’s bulls— that everybody’s always after what I have! Leave me alone! And by the way, I don’t have that much money.” For what it’s worth, we did get to see Kelly and Tamra have that conversation earlier in the episode.  “Do you think that guy is hitting it and quitting it?” Kelly asked, of Steve to Tamra. “My friend was dating the girl that Steve was dating. He told the girlfriend that he’s only using Vicki for money. Swear to God. Dinero! Money talks and bulls— walks.” “In my book, Steve’s a bad guy,” she added. “He’s hiding something. And everyone should know what kind of a person he is.” While Tamra was trying to imply she was being nice to Vicki by telling her about the earlier comments, there was also footage that suggested she, too, was not taken in by Steve.  “She doesn’t love him,” Judge said during a group dinner sans Gunvalson. “I’m sorry, she does not love that man.” Never one to come to a party without some proof, she reminded the ladies of Shannon’s matchmaker. “When I was talking with the matchmaker with her, she was like ‘Maybe I should go to him too?’” Judge recalled. While everyone seemed to be against Gunvalson’s relationship, it was all playing out swimmingly for the cameras.  “You better not let me down,” she told Lodge as they celebrated her birthday. “I feel great at 56. It’s been a bumpy couple last three years, but now that Steve’s in my life, I finally feel like I’m at peace.”  “I don’t need a man for money, and he doesn’t need me for money,” she continued. “I don’t care about stuff. I care about the person.“ “I would date a trash collector if that’s who I fell in love with.” Lodge seemed to agree. “I think in her mind she feels, ‘I’m successful I don’t need another man’s money, so I’m going to fall in love not because he has money,’ ” he said. “Unlike some other people we know.” That last little bit of word salad was very likely a jab at Kelly.  Oh yes, it’s on.  What are your thoughts on the latest action?

The Real Housewives of Orange County Promo: Meet the Newbies!

In the OC, the line between love and hate, between loyalty and betrayal, completely disappears. So teases the following trailer for the longest-running franchise on Bravo, as The Real Housewives of Orange County gets set to kick off Season 13 in just about a month. Loyal fans of the series, of course, are aware that Meghan Edmonds and Lydia McLaughlin have left the program; either of their own volition or because they were fired, depending on who you ask. In their place, executives have cast Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson, both of whom you can meet in the following photo then, of course, in the following trailer. As for the women we've gotten to know and sort of love over the past few years? On upcoming episodes, Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador will be working together to attempt and rebuild their friendship. SPOILER ALERT, however: it will not be easy. Adding intrigue and drama to the situation will be the fact that Kelly Dodd and Beador are both single and figuring out how to live life post-divorce. (“You know why divorce is expensive?” one Housewife says at one point. “Because it's worth it.”) Vicki will be hoping and praying that her boyfriend, Steve Lodge, will finally commit to her full-time, while Tamra will be concerned about her husband's health. Many tears will be shed. Many voices will be raised. Many lame saying will be uttered and many women will fall flat on their faces, apparently. As for the new faces? Simpson is an Ohio native who works her way up to be a lawyer and party planner. She has three kids of her own under the age of five, along with a pair of stepdaughters from her husband Shane’s previous marriage. So she has A LOT on her plate and isn't sure what to do with her life next. Kirschenheiter is from Long Island and is somehow ALSO a mother of three kids under five. She “keeps her expectations low and her patience high,” Bravo explained in the press release, as her husband works in Los Angeles during the week, often leaving her on her own with the kid. Where will all of this lead? There's just one way to start to find out. Check out the trailer below in anticipation of the show's July 16 return.

Ryan Vieth: Son of Tamra Judge Feuds With Baby Mama!

As fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County remember from when Tamra Judge was publicly slammed by her estranged daughter , Tamra has used her children to further her storylines before. But her son Ryan Vieth is showing that he doesn’t need his mother’s help to stir up drama. He can do that just fine on his own. Now, he’s ignited a firestorm feud with his baby mama, Sarah Rodriguez. Ryan Vieth’s relationship with Sarah Rodriguez has been over for ages, but they’ll always be connected by their daughter, Ava. But for whatever reason, Ryan has chosen to antagonize the mother of Tamra Judge’s only grandchild . They’ve had their spats in the past. (Actually, Ryan was arrested for domestic violence in 2015, though the charges were eventually dropped … so it sounds like things have gotten a lot worse than spats) And they’ve feuded on Instagram after their split. This time, things are starting off with what we only wish were a promo for Amazon’s upcoming billion-dollar Lord of the Rings series. “Anyone want to buy my old wedding ring, I have no need for this,” he writes. As you can imagine, this was interpreted by many as a transparent attempt to antagonize and malign his ex. He told a follower “sold!” after the follower offered him $5 for it. He would later go on to explain: “Just figured I’d post something interesting today.” He also reminded followers that he and Sarah never actually married. Which is not really an explanation. Would you care to guess how well-received his post was by his ex? Sarah Jane Rodriguez did not mince words. “Ryan wants to officially announce that he is looking for his next Instagram victim!!” Oh wow! She then proceeds to warn others away from repeating her past mistakes. “As soon as he is done pretending he is something he is not and sucking you in.” That’s ominous. And there’s a tag to go with that sense of foreboding. “It will be too late. #beware” Rodriguez explains herself: “I have been working my ass off to make things good for Ava.” Of course she has. She’s her mom. “But this is not ok to publicly humiliate someone like this.” Like everyone else, she interpreted the wedding ring post as a slight against her. “No one will ever know the sacrifices I made for this person only to be s–t on over and over.” In the past, Rodriguez has opened up about her feuds with Ryan by sharing the sorts of messages that he sends her, as she did with this image last November. (Yikes) Rodriguez later deleted her post decrying Vieth’s “wedding ring” auction, and shared a message that reads: “When you have a bad day, a really bad day, try to treat the world better than it treated you.” She added her own caption to that sage advice, writing: “Okay, let’s start over.” Sometimes, that’s the best choice that a person can make. We do have to wonder, however, if Tamra Judge is going to work this conflict into her own life. In the past, Rodriguez has accused Vieth of relying heavily upon his mother for emotional support. So he probably doesn’t mind contributing to her reality career the way that some of her other children do.

Shannon Beador: Feuding with Tamra Judge Over Friendship with David Beador?

We know how much financial support Shannon Beador’s receiving each month, but we also know that this is court-ordered. She and David are divorcing … and things are not amicable. But you know who seems to get along just fine with Shannon’s ex? Her “friend,” Tamra Judge. And Shannon is reportedly furious over this betrayal. A source tells RadarOnline that Shannon feels betrayed by Tamra Judge , because Tamra’s husband Eddie is still hanging out with David Beador despite this contentious divorce. Considering how hostile things are with David right now, every time that Shannon sees evidence that Eddie and David are still bro-ing out, she feels betrayed. “Shannon thinks that it is really messed up.” In her view, Tamra — who knows what it’s like to get divorced — should put her foot down about Eddie’s continued association with David. “She does not understand why Tamra allows Eddie to hang out with David when she is supposed to be her best friend in the world.” Evidence like this photo, which features both Eddie and David, reportedly drives Shannon up the wall. From the start of the divorce , Tamra has made a big show of being Team Shannon. She voiced her support for Shannon on social media. And she even tipped off Shannon, it’s said, to the existence of  David Beador’s young hot new girlfriend . “Tamra was the first one to tell Shannon about Lesley, and even called him out on New Year’s Eve when she learned that he spent the holiday with his new girlfriend!” And one has to wonder if Tamra only knew this because of Eddie’s continued association with David. This report goes onto say that Tamra has been very defensive about this. “Tamra told Shannon that she really had no idea that David and Eddie were still hanging out.” That seems to be a hard pill to swallow, as the two men aren’t exactly being covert. Shannon, it seems, doesn’t believe it. “She thinks that Tamra isn’t telling the truth, because there is so much proof that David and Eddie are still close.” It is, as we said, hard to miss. To make this situation stranger, Tamra and Shannon are supposed to be best friends. Tamra is a fitness guru and helped Shannon lose weight after Shannon put on a modest amount of weight thanks to stress. And Tamra is personally aware of how stressful divorces can be. Tamra is estranged from her daughter, who accused her mother of emotional abuse — which she says was particularly bad as she was getting divorce. (She would allegedly make negative statements about Simon Barnes to her children and, when she was unhappy with them, she would allegedly call them “Simon” to compare them to her hated ex) So it’s not like Tamra thinks that divorce isn’t a big deal. Shannon is understandably under a lot of stress as she tries to go through this contentious divorce while looking after her three teenage daughters. It was reported by someone close to Shannon that David became so petty after a recent support ruling that he had the water turned off to Shannon’s house — cutting off water to his daughters, too. That’s not a sign of a healthy divorce process. And neither are reports that David was seen in the courthouse, shaking with fury and yelling hateful profanities at Shannon. Divorce is zero fun.

Shannon Beador: Feuding with Tamra Judge Over Friendship with David Beador?

The Real Housewives of Orange County: Who’s Getting FIRED?!

This season of The Real Houswives of Orange County has been an absolute whirlwind, but … things haven’t gone so well for a few of the Housewives. In fact, the network is reportedly looking to really shake things up with the cast before next season. So which familiar faces are getting the axe? Normally, the feud between Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge is good for ratings. And, you know, maybe it still is. But both of these reality stars pushed some boundaries and even crossed some lines this season. Vicki Gunvalson blindsided Tamra Judge on screen with a diss track that included further assertions that Tamra’s husband, Eddie, is gay. We know that Vicki only brings it up because it gets under Tamra’s skin, but a lot of viewers feel that the accusations imply that Vicki Gunvalson thinks that a man being gay or bi is an insult. To further compound things, the Eddie Judge gay rumors kept coming up this season. Tamra Judge seems inordinately upset by them — which seems homophobic on her part, too. To top it all off, Tamra has continued to talk about her daughter , even though Sidney Barney has publicly slammed Tamra as a bad mother and wants nothing to do with her and has repeatedly asked that she keep her name out of her mouth on camera. There’s a difference between drama that makes good television and off-putting drama that leaves a bad taste in the mouths of viewers. Fortunately for them both — and for their respective fans — it doesn’t look like either Vicki or Tamra will be fired from the series. However, All About The Real Housewives reports that Vicki may face demotion next season. We’ve all heard Vicki Gunvalson threaten to quit The Real Housewives of Orange County , so it’s no secret that she’s not entirely happy with things. Vicki is the only star who’s been on the series since season one, episode one. Sometimes stars get fatigued … but sometimes, fans get fatigued with the same stars doing the same things over and over again. If the rumor that Vicki’s getting demoted are true, it’s possible that the network wants to focus on other people and other storylines. But, honestly, Vicki’s demotion is a far cry from an outright firing … and we’re hearing about three of those. According to what an inside source reportedly told All About The Real Housewives , the network is making three cuts from the main cast. That source claims that Lydia McLaughlin, Peggy Sulahian, and Meghan King Edmonds will not be returning for season 13. Honestly, in each of those cases, we understand it. And we’re starting to wonder if the conflict between Lydia McLaughlin and Meghan King Edmonds that we saw on the reunion special was an attempt on both of their parts to be interesting enough to stay. (In case it slipped your mind, Meghan King Edmonds was hurt that Lydia McLaughlin refused to participate in part of her party because a psychic was invited, and Meghan got controversial when she told Lydia that she wished that Lydia’s Christian beliefs didn’t hold her back) Maybe their argument worked and the source is working with outdated information. Or maybe it didn’t work. Honestly, the show could take or leave them, even though there are things about them both that we’d miss. Nobody’s going to miss unapologetic homophobe Peggy Sulahian . Reality television can forgive bigotry up to a point, but as we all saw with Derick Dillard’s firing from Counting On , that’s only true up to a point. But the biggest crime that a reality star can make is being a totally uninteresting bore, which is why we’ve been expecting Peggy to be sent packing all season long. Despite being a bad person, she’s just not interesting . Even when she gets into arguments, she’s boring, and that’s basically a jailable offense in the world of reality stars. If you’re feeling bummed about the looming departures, know that we should probably hear an announcement of some sort in December. And also know that the same rumors that say that we’re bidding farewell to these three say that The Real Housewives of Orange County is looking to add five new stars. That’s a lot of new people to meet. View Slideshow: Real Housewives All Stars: Who Should Be Cast?

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 12 Episode 10 Recap: Loose Lips and Sinking Ships

Will Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge be able to put their beef aside and play nice for the sake of their friends? That was one of the big questions on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 12 Episode 10 , and one that seemed like it was going to be dragged on for eternity.  With the ladies dodging each other practically all season long, it has become apparent that the producers must be struggling for footage to fill the episodes.  When the episode got underway, Vicki was chatting with her daughter on the phone and boasting about the birthday party she was planning for herself.  It’s a bit sad to be planning your own birthday party, but it’s not like Vicki has a lot of friends right now. In fact, she could probably count her loyal friends on the one hand.  That’s what happens when you decide to cause trouble amongst your group. Her party idea sounded like something Vicki would come up with.  She wanted to wear red while everyone else wore black and white. She also wanted to sit down for a roast and let every single person in the room air their thoughts on her.  People would legit pay to watch that play out because Vicki would probably eventually go ham and run out of the event with a bottle of wine, but did this seem like a good way to put her beef aside with the ladies? Briana did not seem to think so, and Vicki questioned why. Apparently, Vicki was under the impression everyone would say nice things about her.  As laughable as that is, props to Briana for thinking about her mother’s feelings. If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , you know that Vicki has been a nightmare.  When she’s not bickering with her friends, she’s finding new people to quarrel with, but that’s just who she is. We’ve watched her do it multiple times over the years, so why would she change now? Meanwhile, Lydia and Meghan went on a hiking trip and got candid about IVF treatment. Meghan revealed that it was a painful thing to go through.  Lydia questioned whether it would be a good idea to freeze some of her husband’s sample in case she wanted more kids down the line.  Here’s the big conundrum: Lydia’s husband is getting a vasectomy, so it would be difficult for them if they were to decide to have kids down the line.  These ladies know they need to cover all bases before making a decision, so we’re thankful they know that. The talk then turned to Meghan’s feud with Kelly.  Lydia revealed that she was Team Kelly in this battle because Meghan went out of her way quiz Kelly about having a boyfriend. So, Lydia’s take on it was that Meghan was the one in the wrong.  “Meghan has no problem cutting down Kelly’s marriage and then she’s mad at Kelly for doing the same thing in return,” Lydia explains in her confessional. “I’m trying to just hold up a mirror to Meghan and say, ‘You know, I see Kelly’s side too.'” Naturally, Meghan flipped the eff out and revealed that Kelly was the one who was trying to cause all of the beef between them.  “With what? Are you f–king kidding right now? This is so upsetting, Lydia,” Meghan screams, holding back tears. “That you would even think that’s normal for a person to attack your marriage.” “No, I feel like you attacked hers,” Lydia replied. Realizing she had upset Meghan, Lydia apologized but claimed that she still understood why Kelly lashed out and that it was not her fault.  The awesome thing about Lydia is that she just says it how it is, and that shows how loyal she is. She knows she needs to be honest about things or she will end up in the center of the drama.  Then, Tamra got a phone call from none other than Vicki! Yes, it was time to end the feud once and for all. Vicki did apologize for all the drama and asked if they could rebuild and move on.  Tamra agreed, but stressed in a confessional that she did not know whether she was making the right decision. It’s perfectly understandable that she would be apprehensive.  All of the drama with Vicki has been too much to handle for her, but it does seem like Vicki is ready to grow up. Tamra decided to call up Shannon to find out her take on it.  She was not impressed.  “F–k Vicki,” she said.  Shannon had some drama of her own to deal with. It was her birthday, and she was reminiscing about how great things were a year ago.  Now, her relationship with David was not in a good place and she questioned how long she could go on. David, however, felt like Shannon was the one to blame.  He admitted that he lets her get on with it when she’s stressed or anything because that’s just how he is. His other issue was that Shannon was still obsessing over Vicki.  The rest of the episode was all about Vicki’s birthday and it ushered in the return of Gretchen and Lizzie. But the drama was surprisingly started by Ricky.  He opened up about witnessing Eddie making out with a guy. Oh, the drama.  Vicki opted to keep out of it and that was the first big signal that she was ready to move on with her life as opposed to listening to rumors and adding stuff on to them.  What do you think about Vicki’s new outlook?
