Tamra Judge: We Did NOT Want to Talk About Vicki

"I felt like I just stood there in shock and the right words would not come out of my mouth."

By Tamra Judge
Lydia and Shannon Go Head to Head During Their First Meeting

Welcome Peggy and Diko, I officially meet Peggy next Monday. You DO NOT want to miss it!

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Thursdays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

I loved seeing Kelly Dodd and Michael working out together, looks like a positive step to working on their relationship.

Let's get one thing straight, I love Briana. When things got bad with Vicki last year she asked me NOT to communicate with Briana. I took her off my Facebook for two reasons: I didn't want to be disrespectful, and I didn't want to see Vicki's face pop up on my news feed. Briana and I have always gotten along and I think she is a wonderful person. In the past we were only trying to protect Vicki from Brooks. I was never and would never try to put a wedge between and mother and daughter. Not sure how us trying to protect her is crossing the line.

Listening to Vicki talk badly about Shannon's Feng Shui lady made me sick. I'm not surprised though, she criticized my business last week. Yet she raved about the her in the past, and she is even quoted on her website. Just another example of how she loves to make things up to make others look bad. I convinced that people that talk badly about others just don't have anything good about themselves to talk about.

Ava's birthday party was a little over the top but I wouldn't have it any other way. The venue at Silverado Canyon is beautiful. It was a perfect setting for a unicorn birthday party.

Let's get to the drama. I was so excited that Shannon was going to meet Lydia. I thought for sure that they would get along. I had briefly told Lydia how Vicki was spreading rumors about David and Eddie at Bible study. I felt like she would have known NOT to bring up Vicki's name.

I get that Lydia wants to make things better, but she was not around the last few years to see what went down. Lydia started to telling us about her lunch with Vicki. That is when Shannon got upset. It went down hill from there. It looked like Shannon just got upset for NO reason and that simply was not the case. When Lydia said, "I feel like you're just like Vicki," that was probably the worst thing she could have said to Shannon. I felt like I just stood there in shock and the right words would not come out of my mouth. I didn't want to make a big scene at my granddaughter's birthday party. I wanted these two to get along.

During all this Briana had arrived and I never saw her. By the time I went to go find her, she had left. I know she had to be uncomfortable given the situation with me and her mom. It was nice of her to bring the boys. 

See you next week and the NOT SO Quiet Woman...Yikes.
