Tamra Judge has offered a second apology to Ryan Boyajian.
After the 57-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star accused Ryan, 46, of stealing from a Dodgers player on Thursday night’s Watch What Happens Live, prompting him to hire Jim Bellino‘s attorney and file a lawsuit against her, Tamra, who previously admitted that she did “misspeak a little bit on a couple of things,” shared an additional statement.
“As I mentioned on my IG Story yesterday, I would like to apologize for and correct the record on a misstatement I made on WWHL on Thursday about Ryan Boyajian,” Tamra began on her Instagram Story over the weekend. “I had no reason to believe that Ryan has stolen any money. I misspoke in tying Ryan to the actions of others. I meant to say ‘my company makes more money than what was stolen from the Dodger player.’ Unfortunately I misspoke on live television. While Ryan and I have had ongoing issues, I do apologize to him for the mistake and wish to make clear that my statement was made in error.”
“I sincerely apologize. Tamra Judge,” she added in her post from the weekend.
On the September 26 episode of WWHL, Tamra accused Ryan of stealing from Shohei Ohtani, 30, after being asked by host Andy Cohen, 56, to respond to his rant against her and Eddie, which saw Ryan describe Eddie, 51, as “soft” and suggest their marriage was a sham.
“You know what, Ryan? We sell more in a month than what you stole from the Dodgers player … [And] Eddie’s not soft,” she alleged.
As RHOC fans may recall, Ryan was linked to an MLB gambling scandal earlier this year in which Shohei’s interpreter was accused of robbing the professional athlete of $16 million. However, while he was said to have been tied to a potential transfer of funds, he does not appear to have been officially charged with a crime as of yet.
After learning that Ryan had hired Jim’s lawyer, who previously worked with Jim, 62, to sue Tamra and Shannon Beador, 60, for defamation, Eddie took to his Instagram page to shade men who fight with cast members of Real Housewives shows.
“Men who fight with Real Housewives on A Real Housewife Reality TV show do for fun!!” read a message of a meme he shared.
Then, in a caption, he added, “I find it hilarious to see grown men fight with women on a reality show about women for women and think they are such ‘manly men’ because they are standing up for their manhood when in REALITY, you will never win this fight on a reality TV show … The answer is not just one little b*tch on the series… Can you name them all?”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
