Tamra Judge revealed her last text exchange with Vicki Gunvalson – and an update on their friendship. Around the same time, Vicki accused Slade Smiley of calling producers while his wife Gretchen Rossi filmed the mysterious, unaired season of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco.

On the current season of Real Housewives of Orange County, Katie Ginella claimed Slade called her husband Matt Ginella after Katie revealed what Gretchen allegedly said about Tamra at a restaurant. According to Katie, Slade called Matt to have Katie recant the story, as Slade was on the other line with a producer.

As for Tamra and Vicki, the former costars began feuding last year after Tamra called out their mutual friend Shannon Beador over her past DUI.

On her “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast, Tamra was asked when she last communicated with Vicki.

“I text with her … maybe a month ago,” said Tamra, via @byewighellodrama on Instagram. “I did a post … and I said something nice about her or having her come back [to the show]. And then in return — you know, this is typical Vicki — ‘Oh, I love Tamra, I love her so much, we have so much in common, we’ve known each other forever.’ And so it kind of went to that, and then I heard about that.”

“Then I text her a video of us, like a montage of all the funny moments that somebody put together. And then she wrote me back the next day and she’s like, ‘Oh, I love this,’” said Tamra.

Tamra’s co-host Teddi Mellencamp chimed in: “She’s easy to get mad, but easy to forget.”

“Yeah, but the thing is like, I don’t think there was any reason for her to be mad towards me,” said Tamra. “It was more … because I called Shannon out last year. So she was like Team Shannon.”

Teddi said she also thinks Vicki didn’t like Tamra’s friendship with Teddi.

“No,” agreed Tamra. “So I think it’s fine. I don’t have any hard feelings.”

Meanwhile, on Vicki’s own podcast, My Friend My Soulmate My Podcast, Vicki addressed the drama with Slade.

“Slade’s a caller,” she said. “I mean, we were in [Morocco], he called a lot to the producers and wanted to manufacture and help Gretchen out. He didn’t get signed up, Gretchen did.”

“He was calling [Gretchen] asking her what she was wearing, asking her what drama there was, calling Clark our producer, trying to figure out what was going on there,” Vicki continued. “I mean, we were just six or eight girls, just having fun … We were not filming The Housewives of Orange County, so it wasn’t like, ‘let’s go hurt somebody and kill somebody and figure out a way to hurt them.’ That’s not what that [Morocco] trip was about.”

Vicki also called it “weird” that Slade was allegedly “calling Matt after their time at Mastro’s [restaurant] to discuss that.”
