Tamra Judge is at the end of her rope when it comes to her time on The Real Housewives of Orange County.

During the Thursday, Oct. 2 episode of Bravo’s hit series, Tamra invited some of the women over for a cake-decorating party. However, things quickly went from sweet to sour when Emily Simpson admitted that she and Heather Dubrow both named Tamra as the least trustworthy woman in the group while they were playing a game.

“My fear is, if I shared things with you that were really personal and you got mad at me in some circumstance, that you would go look something up,” Emily explained. “That’s a legitimate fear.”

“That hurts my feelings,” Tamra said. “I am loyal to a fault. I’m always honest with everybody. What have I ever done to her that she would not trust me?”

“I’m f—— hurt by you,” she added as she walked away in tears.

Tamra returned a few minutes later and agreed to move forward with Emily, but revealed that there was another issue she had to address with Jennifer Pedranti.

After Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley brought up a rumor that Tamra had an affair with a famous mystery singer, which Tamra denied, she claimed his wife reached out with evidence that Jenn had recently followed him on social media.

“Does she want dirt, or does she want tickets?” Emily quipped before Tamra added: “I don’t even follow [him]!”

Later that night, Tamra decided to confront Jenn, who said she simply followed him out of curiosity.

“You’re my friend,” Tamra said. “I just wouldn’t think to do that when you’re going after people that don’t like me all the time and trying to become friends with him like you did with Gretchen. This situation makes me wonder, like, ‘What are you doing?’”

In her confessional, Jenn joked that she was “hoping that if I followed this guy and he saw my name, maybe he would say something,” but that “unfortunately” didn’t happen.

“Why did you feel the need, at 5:22, to follow him?” Tamra pressed.

When Jenn called her out for having a printed screenshot with a timestamp, insisting it wasn’t that serious, Tamra accused her of deflecting from the real issue.

“It’s always an act with Jenn,” Tamra said in her confessional. “She gets caught doing something, she turns it around on you, like, ‘Why do you have to print it out? Why do you have to print it out?’ Well, bitch, because I’m old and I could see it better.”

Without reaching a resolution, Jenn walked away and joined the other ladies outside. Heather then went to check on Tamra, who brought up that she labeled her the least trustworthy.

“Heather, I’m done,” Tamra declared. “I thought that we were close, and for you to say that just hurts my feelings so bad that I just don’t even wanna be in this group anymore.”

Heather acknowledged that she doesn’t trust Tamra with her feelings, but said it was because she doesn’t “want to hear what I’m saying.”

“At the lowest time of my f—— life, you were so aggressive with me and it hurt my feelings so bad that you don’t even know,” Tamra exclaimed, referring to their recent lunch where Heather was frustrated at Tamra’s lack of communication after she claimed to be quitting the show.

“I don’t agree that I was aggressive to you,” Heather pushed back, accusing Tamra of not hearing her out when she opened up about her childhood struggles with her father. “The problem is, I tell Tamra my feelings, and she gets angry and says, ‘You’re wrong.’ I mean, it’s daunting, because if I can’t be honest with you, how can we be friends?”

The two went back and forth until Tamra announced that she was quitting for a second time this season.

“It just makes me sad,” she shared. “I know I’m not perfect. I know I’m a good person, I’m not a liar, I’m not a cheater. So for them to say they don’t trust me, that feels like it’s an attack on my character, and it makes me just want to shut down.”

“This is a great example — you doing this, constantly quitting, getting so angry,” Heather pointed out.

Although she suggested they all work things out, it quickly became clear that the party was over.

“Have a great season,” Tamra shouted. “I’m done. Absolutely done. I hope you’re happy with yourself.”
