ICYMI, Heather told her husband, Dr. Terry Dubrow, not to "admonish [her] on camera" when the two were at a consultation for Terry's nose job. When asked if she thought that Terry was reprimanding Heather on camera, Tamra said "a little bit, yeah."

"But, you know what? I didn't think it was that bad," she said on the September 26 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. "I mean, they've been married for 20-something years, and sometimes [you're] like, 'Don't do that to me on camera.'"

A split of Tamra Judge and Heather Dubrow.

Why did Heather tell Terry not to "admonish" her on camera?

The hot mic moment took place when Heather accompanied Terry to an appointment to discuss his nose job. As Heather explained, Terry's snoring had been keeping her up at night, so he wanted a surgeon to "fix [his] septum."

While Terry was getting his blood drawn, Heather spoke to him about the drama she was having with Katie Ginella and Gina Kirschenheiter

"You have a process that you need to go through when you've had a challenge with somebody. You need to hash it out once, twice, three times," Terry told Heather.

"By the way, that is such an overstatement," Heather reacted. "I don't need to hash things out three times."

"Ad nauseum," Terry said, doubling down.

"Alright, you're just being mean now," Heather told her husband, who lamented that she "talk[s] over" him. The tense exchange appeared to end there, but Heather soon shared a message to Terry when they walked down the hallway. While the cameras didn't pick up the moment, the spouses were still mic'd up.

"You can't say that," Heather told Terry about the comment he made about her "process" of getting through friendship issues. "Don't admonish me on camera. Don't do that. I don't like it."

"Well then don't talk over me," Terry responded. "Let me talk."

"It obviously wasn't on purpose," the orange holder said. "Don't admonish me."

But once Terry and Heather got to the next portion of the pre-op appointment, the two had put their differences aside.
