Heavy/NBCUniversal Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson.
“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Tamra Judge is unhappy with her former friend and co-star Vicki Gunvalson for her remarks regarding her assistant, Caden.
During the February 5 episode of her podcast, “Two Ts In A Pod,” co-hosted by Teddi Mellencamp, Judge noted that Gunvalson named Caden, who she called a “troublemaker,” as causing her current rift with the COTO Insurance founder and Shannon Beador in a February 2023 episode of “Jeff Lewis Live.” According to Gunvalson, Judge’s employee, who also assisted Beador, “was hearing things from Shannon and sending it over to Tamra.”
While recording the “Two Ts In A Pod” episode, Judge said she believed Gunvalson disliked Caden because he texted Beador and the COTO Insurance founder about their “Tres Amigas” live shows while she was filming “The Traitors” in Scotland. According to Judge, Caden relayed that she was not interested in continuing the tour after Beador’s September 2023 DUI arrest.
“He knew my thoughts, he knew where I stood with everything. And he said something to her — I think it was like, ‘Tamra does not feel comfortable doing the show,’” said Judge.
The Vena CBD co-founder stated Gunvalson accidentally sent a heated text complaining about Caden to him.
“She then lost it. She accidentally — was trying to text Shannon and texted Caden. And kind of went off on him,” said the RHOC personality.
Judge also said she was disappointed that Gunvalson publicly mentioned her 24-year-old assistant as “he is a private person,” whom she cares deeply for.
“He helps me with a lot of things. He’s a great kid,” stated Judge.
