The Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge is feuding with “Tres Amigas” Vicki Gunvalson and Shannon Beador, and explained how it started.

Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson, and Shannon Beador’s friendship was tighter than ever on The Real Housewives of Orange County, but a feud recently began between the “Tres Amigas.”

When Vicki and Shannon revealed that they were going on their own Comedy Tour without Tamra, fans speculated that something had gone wrong.

The feud became public knowledge after Tamra and Vicki had a heated exchange on X, calling out one another about their behavior and hitting below the belt.

Vicki also sent Tamra a tweet about her role on The Traitors Season 2 shortly after, saying that it was the “perfect show” for her and hinting at jealously toward her former friend.

Vicki was upset when Tamra backed out of the Tres Amigas Tour

In an interview with ET, Tamra explained that her feud with Vicki and Shannon started when she was too busy continue the “Tres Amigas” tour.

“I was asked to do another show after we did Phoenix show. The agent called me and said, ‘Would you like to do another show?’ And I said, ‘You know what? I can’t right now. I have too many things on my plate, I can’t go on this tour with them.”‘

Tamra continued, “They had already known that, they know my schedule is super busy. I have two podcasts and another one coming up, with another Bravolebrity. So, I just didn’t have a lot of time to go traveling, and I guess Vicki didn’t like that and now she’s calling me a traitor.”

When asked if she would ever reconcile with Vicki and Shannon, Tamra said, “never say never,” adding that she didn’t like the text messages that were sent to her.

Tamra clarified that she’s been very supportive of them, and was so happy that they got a show on their own.

With the “Tres Amigas” broken up right before The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 begins filming, there will be some difficult conversations that have to happen for the trio. It will most likely be on camera given their history on the show.

Tamra has had arguments with Vicki and Shannon in the past and they ended up becoming friends again, so hopefully they can get to a better place in their friendship.
