Former star of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Tamra Judge, is convinced that Heather Dubrow “fed” producer Andy Cohen lies about her podcast and is preventing her from coming back on the show. Tamra made her first appearance in RHOC season 3 and soon became one of the longest running housewives. When Heather joined the show in season 7, she and Tamra quickly became friends, despite their very different personalities.
Heather left RHOC after season 11, citing wanting to spend more time with her family as the main reason. However, many fans wondered if it was because of her contentious relationship with RHOC star Kelly Dodd. After RHOC season 14, Tamra was let go by Bravo, along with OC Vicki Gunvalson. Tamra was hit hard by the news and confessed to being depressed for a long time. However, she soon channeled her energy into co-hosting her podcast, Two T’s In A Pod, with Teddi Mellencamp.
In a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, Jeff addressed a comment that Andy Cohen had made last week regarding Tamra’s return to RHOC. Andy had said, “How do you go on a Housewives show when you do a behind the scenes podcast about Housewives?” Tamra’s response was that Two T’s In A Pod wasn’t an expose podcast and that she had asked Andy if he ever listened to the show. He replied that he hadn’t, which led Tamra to believe Heather fed Andy lies about her show. Tamra recalled hearing similar comments Heather had made on her podcast, Heather Dubrow’s World, and became suspicious when Andy repeated the same sentiment.

Tamra confessed that Heather’s lack of support for her was “heartbreaking.” She shared that she always “rallied for Heather to come back” after her RHOC season 11 departure because despite Noella Bergener’s claims, she thought Heather was a “nice person” and “brought wealth to the show.” However, Tamra vented that when Heather was asked about her coming back to the show, the current RHOC star’s response would be, “She had a good run.” Tamra felt further betrayal from Heather when she suggested Alexis Bellino, with whom Tamra had a rocky relationship, return to RHOC.
Both Tamra and Jeff hinted that Heather is wielding a lot of power in RHOC. Jeff observed that Heather is the first one to walk into every RHOC season 16 scene and Tamra stated that Heather is promoting all of her businesses on the show. Kelly has previously slammed Heather for being the reason she was fired from the show. Tamra’s firing was a shock to many Real Housewives of Orange County fans and while Heather had nothing to do with it, the Two T’s In A Podcast host has reasons to believe she may be preventing her return.
