"Monster" — The Real Housewives of Orange County fans criticize Tamra for bringing up Gina's alleged domestic abuse  

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 aired Episode 16 this week on Thursday, October 24, 2024. The segment saw the cast continue on their London trip but the last day proved chaotic as several arguments broke out.

Tamra Judge was upset at Shannon Beador after being called out by Jennifer Pedranti for digging up dirt about her and Ryan. Gina Kirschenheiter was critical of Tamra's behavior and let the cast member know. Towards the end of the segment, Tamra Judge brought up Gina's alleged domestic violence against Travis Mullen. The RHOC star told Gina that Shannon had tried to dig up information about the alleged abuse in 2022.

Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 criticized Tamra for bringing up Gina's past to try to prove a point. One person wrote on X:

"Again, Tamra is a monster. She is bringing up the Gina and Travis stuff on camera, that no one was speaking about and now everyone is going to look up just to try to get back at Shannon for bringing up the background check stuff."

"Gina said she wants to keep her distance from Tamra because idk what she'll come after her or Travis' divorce. CUT TO: Tamra in a different room, alleging Gina pushing Travis down the stairs. This woman! They all know her too well," a fan commented.

"So Tamrat held onto this info about Shannon “allegedly” calling Taylor’s husband to find out if Gina pushed Travis down the stairs? Lol I’m sorry i dont find much credibility with Tamra anymore," a tweet read.

Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 called the exchange "annoying":

"I’m glad Gina stepped up and “shouted” at everyone to say this game of telephone cannot go on further. Because it’s so exhausting, confusing, and annoying to watch," a person wrote.

"Two things can be true. Shannon isn't innocent but Tamra can also be a big fat liar. She is using this Gina stuff to get more people on her side... kinda like this autism diagnosis," a fan commented.

"For Tamra to start this story about Gina to the group with 6 months ago… b*tch you kept it quiet for 6 months ! Can you say culpable," a tweet read.

Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 further said:

"“I don’t want to hurt Gina” yes Tamara you do, you rat," a person wrote.

"Tamra just outed HERSELF. She literally just told us she was gossiping & getting in the nitty gritty on Gina, with Shannon, while not even being on the show at the time. #StaySilent sssh," a fan commented.

"I'm pissed at you for not telling me" — The Real Housewives of Orange County star Gina criticizes Tamra for keeping a secret

In The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 Episode 16, Tamra told Gina that Shannon dug up information about her. She added that the Bravo celebrity consulted an attorney to discover whether Gina threw Travis "down the stairs."

Gina asked Tamra if that had happened and opened up about Travis's ex-wife in a confessional. Gina called the ex-wife a "horrible person" and said she was telling "complete f*cking lies." She added that Tamra didn't care if she wanted to "get someone." Gina stated she had a problem if she was getting hurt in the process.

"I can't help that she's devoted to trying to ruin our life," Gina said about Travis's ex.

When Tamra said nobody was questioning that, The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 star said she had to defend herself because it was brought up. Tamra told her she was telling her because Gina "schooled" her about doing the "right thing with Jenn," and said something to Tamra that "really hurt" her feelings.

She recalled Gina saying how she could be certain Tamra was not going to dig up information about her. The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member said she wasn't the one digging up information, but that Shannon was. She added that Shannon tried to come in between her and Jenn. Gina said she was now the collateral damage, much like Jenn was in Shannon and Tamra's feud.

"These are all conversations that are happening between you and Shannon. I'm pissed about that, but I'm pissed at you for not telling me," Gina said.

Fans of the Bravo show reacted to the conversation online and were critical of Tamra Judge bringing up Gina's past.

Episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 air weekly on Thursdays on Bravo.
