"I could see it in his eyes and nothing he said was making sense," says #RHOC's Tamra Judge.

Once again, the women of the Real Housewives of Orange County are weighing in on Brooks Ayers' cancer diagnosis. On Wednesday, E! News confirmed that Vicki Gunvalson's ex did not receive cancer treatment at California hospital City of Hope, where Brooks had previously said he'd been receiving treatments for the disease.

"I can't say I am shocked," Tamra Judge, who was shown Brooks' medical records during Season 10, told E! News. "I've always said, 'If he has cancer I hope he gets better and if he doesn't…I still hope he gets better.' From day one I called him out. I felt he was a con man. I could see it in his eyes and nothing he said was making sense. He's a charmer, but then you get to know him and after a while his stories don't add up. In the end, I stopped questioning him as much, started accepting him for Vicki [Gunvalson]. I knew that if I let go, he would do it to himself. It's very hard to tell exactly what Vicki did or didn't know."

Tamra also headed to Facebook, referencing a meeting she had with a psychic during the season. "Scott Cruz - Psychic Medium YOU CALLED IT "I JUST DONT SEE IT" ! ‪#‎TRUTHALWAYSCOMESOUT‬."

Tamra isn't the only OC resident with an opinion on latest development. "I am still trying to connect the dots," Shannon Beador told E! News. "It doesn't make sense that Vicki would say she spent four hours with Brooks for chemo at the City of Hope when he was never treated there. The truth always comes out." 

Meghan King Edmonds, who spent the majority of Season 10 trying to get to the bottom of Brooks' cancer diagnosis, headed to Twitter to share her thoughts on the news that Brooks wasn't treated at the Duarte, California facility. 

  

She further elaborated on the matter in a statement to E! News. "I pray for him. I would want to tell him that I hope he finds the truth somewhere in his life. The truth will set you free," she said. "It's a very sad and disgusting situation. I never believed I would be surrounded by such lies but hopefully now we can focus on the truth."

Brooks will discuss the controversy around his cancer diagnosis in a sit-down with Andy Cohen airing November 12 at 9/8c. Vicki, and the rest of the RHOC ladies, will also share more from the Season 10 reunion the same night in the RHOC Secrets Revealed. Check out a preview below.
