Bravo alum Gretchen Rossi is speaking out about Tamra Judge‘s behavior in season 18, calling the RHOC star “evil, manipulating, and conniving.”
As RHOC viewers know, Tamra has been more outspoken than ever throughout season 18. Not only has Tamra called her former BFF Shannon Beador an “alcoholic” and condemned her for continuing to drink following her September 2023 DUI, but she also went after Jennifer Pedranti‘s fiancé, Ryan Boyajian.
On the latest episode of RHOC, Tamra slammed Ryan for allegedly talking “mad sh-t” about her and Eddie Judge on a podcast, which he never did. She then claimed that the FBI raided Ryan’s house, another statement that was not true. Then, on Watch What Happens Live, Tamra alleged that Ryan was guilty of stealing money from Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani. He then served Tamra with a cease and desist over the false allegations. She promptly issued a public apology to Ryan, claiming that she misspoke on WWHL.
Amid all this drama, Gretchen Rossi answered questions about RHOC and her former co-star/frenemy Tamra Judge during a Q&A on Instagram.
“Thoughts on Tamra’s behavior this season?” one fan asked.

“I think it’s sad that she’s been getting away with harming so many people for years now. It seems like she can never be loyal to anyone, especially her so called friends. I believe the only thing she has ever been loyal to is her paycheck.
In my experience, she makes up horrible lies about people with no remorse for how it affects their actual lives. She will destroy your character, your livelihood, your businesses, etc., under the guise of claiming she is just a “truth teller,” which it seems the audience finally realizes is anything but the truth. It’s gross and not ok.
I have stayed silent for the last several years, but these latest remarks about Ryan really triggered me. She makes categorically false statements about him, and when he finally stands up for himself to protect his livelihood and reputation, she calls him a little bitch! It’s such a BS double standard!
She can’t go after the men and not expect them to speak up! She did this all the time to Slade, and now she is doing the exact same thing to Ryan.
Oh, and try speaking the actual truth about her (God forbid you do that_ because, from my experience, she will go on a witch hunt to try and destroy you. In my opinion, she is EVIL, manipulative, and conniving. I saw exactly who she was back then and was never afraid to call her out. It seems the audience is finally realizing what I always knew about her.”
