'The Real Housewives of Orange County' News: Tamra Judge Slams Rumors Claiming Husband Eddie Is Gay
Tamra Judge has spoken out about gay rumors involving her husband, Eddie Judge.
"The Real Housewives of Orange County" star was infuriated after one controversial episode featuring ex-housewife Gretchen Rossi and friend Ricky Santana. During Vicki Gunvalson's birthday party, Ricky claimed he saw Eddie locking lips with a man years ago — fueling speculations that Eddie is gay.
Speaking with Us Weekly, Tamra shared that her spouse never really cared about the allegations since it began in 2016. "We've been dealing with this since last year," said the reality star. "[EDDIE] is like, 'You know what? If they would have said I beat you, I'd probably sue her. But if she's going to go and tell people that I'm gay and that's the worst she's got on me, I don't really care.'"
Tamra, who has been married to Eddie since 2013, further said the moment when her co-stars talked about her husband was "totally staged." She blamed Vicki for spreading the malicious rumor to their other castmates, noting how the entire scene was filled with "bad acting."
Monday's episode saw things get heated between Lydia McLaughlin and Shannon Beador. Lydia's older brother Jesse Stirling came to her defense on Twitter, saying anyone accusing her of being "mean" is plain wrong.
"Lydia is one of the sweetest people I know," he posted on Twitter. "She is religious, that's true. But this 'mean girl' accusation is ridiculous."
Tamra and Vicki also had a confrontation during the "Boobs-Voyage" party held by Kelly Dodd to commemorate her upcoming breast reduction surgery. Kelly had organized a volleyball game for the girls, but Tamra did not like to play with her nemesis.
"The Real Housewives of Orange County" airs every Monday night at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
