Tamra Judge is clapping back at reports claiming she’s been leaking stories to the press amid filming on the upcoming 19th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County.
After coming across a report on Twitter in which it was alleged that she had been “leaking stuff to the press” and had left the cast and production feeling unhappy, Tamra, 47, fired back with a couple of posts on her Instagram Story, lashing out at bloggers for spreading “fake news.”
“This is a complete lie and I’m pretty sure I know who is putting the story out there. (Be careful using the same verbiage .. It’s a dead giveaway),” read a message posted to Tamra’s account on March 17.
“This is complete BS btw. Bloggers making up fake news,” she added.
At the end of last week, an insider had made the claims against Tamra to In Touch Weekly.
“Tamra Judge has been cited as being the No. 1 source for production leaks to the media and attempting to get bloggers and reporters to write defamatory and damaging stories about her castmates. She then goes and accuses others of doing it,” the source alleged. “Chances are if Tamra is pointing her finger at you about something, it’s because she is trying to deflect from the fact that she is the one behind-the-scenes actually doing it.”
In a second post to her Instagram Story, Tamra further denied the accusations of leaks, labeling them “false” as she called out The Bravo Babe for speaking of the matter.
“Here she goes again with her false accusations,” Tamra complained.
As RHOC fans have surely heard, Tamra quit her role on the show earlier this month amid a cast trip to New Orleans.
Speaking out on her Instagram Story at the time, Tamra wrote, “It was a long run! When life gives you real problems this reality sh*t doesn’t makes sense. Peace out … I’m out.”
Days later, Tamra elaborated on her status on her podcast, Two Ts in a Pod.
“I think I just hit a wall,” she explained. “There’s so much going on in my life … I mean therapy and [Teddi Mellencamp] and some other personal things I’m going through. I just hit a wall and … I feel like I’m in full depressed mode.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime later this year.
