Tamra Judge recently revealed an interesting exchange with her fellow “Real Housewives of Orange County” star, Heather Dubrow. It appears Heather took Tamra to task over a bold promise she made about the upcoming 20th season, where Tamra teased she would “blow s**t up.” The remark, which seemed to hint at some explosive drama, sparked a conversation between the two reality stars. Tamra, however, was quick to explain her intentions and hinted at dealing with some backstage “bulls**t.”

Reflecting on the previous season, Tamra faced criticism from several of her co-stars for her actions. In one memorable scene, she seemed to expect some support from Heather, but Heather opted to stand by her own beliefs. This might have fueled Tamra’s recent comments in an interview on Jeff Lewis Live, where she suggested she was ready to stir things up, possibly as a form of payback for what transpired in season 19.
During a conversation on her podcast, By Order of the Faithfuls, Tamra shared the details of her chat with Heather. “I just talked to Heather Dubrow,” Tamra recounted. “She goes, ‘I saw you said you’re gonna blow things up!’ I go, ‘I was joking!‘”
On her podcast, By Order of the Faithfuls, Tamra shared that Heather confronted her about it.
“I just talked to Heather Dubrow,” said Tamra. “She goes, ‘I saw you said you’re gonna blow things up!’ I go, ‘I was joking!‘”
Tamra then clarified her comment.
“I [told Heather I said] it was actually my unbothered era that I’m going into for 2026. That’s my word,” she said. “[My cohost Dolores Catania] told me to think of a word for 2026. Mine is very unbothered. I’m just unbothered.”
Though Tamra didn’t name names, the star hinted that she’s dealing with “bulls**t.”
“I was joking when I said I’m gonna blow s**t up,” she reiterated. “You know, Jeff gets me going.”
“He does,” Dolores agreed. “He gets everyone going.”
“He really does,” said Tamra.
Last summer, Tamra’s costar Gina Kirschenheiter suggested that Heather has been afraid of Tamra.
“I think Heather herself even admits that there’s times that she is afraid of Tamra. I mean, are we going to sit here and pretend like Tamra’s not scary?” said Gina at the time, speaking to Decider. “But I think that Tamra is the type of person that’s very reactionary. And Tamra is the type of person that will tell you how it is directly in the moment. She gets very activated. … She goes out of bounds. I think that does scare Heather. … that’s something that Heather is just very uncomfortable with.”
“[After Tamra temporarily quit the show], she texted me basically to go f**k myself,” Gina added. “But she [shared that she was quitting] on Instagram. And [the cast was] like, ‘What?’”
