    Why Does Vicki Blame Me?

    Tamra wonders why Vicki blames her for the actions of the group, but realizes she's just got to move past their feud.

    Apr 15

    It was a fun day of shopping with Gretchen and again we are dressed very similar. This happens to us all the time. What can I say, the girl has good taste!

    It was hilarious to see Gretchen running around the store with a baby strapped to her. My kids were outside watching us, and they were even cracking up. The lady that worked there didn't think it was so funny. I am sure Gretchen will make an amazing mom one day. As a mother of four, I know how life-changing having your first baby is, and I just hope Gretchen is ready for it.

    I had to laugh at Vicki driving 200 feet to see my studio. I looked for a building for eight long months, and when I found this building I could not believe it was across the street from Vicki. At the time I was not speaking to Vicki, so I almost thought about NOT taking the space.

    When Vicki asked me about insurance I never felt so uncomfortable in my life. What I was afraid to tell her was, we had quotes from three different brokers that specialize in fitness clubs. We had just got word the day before that the city approved us, so it's hard to have insurance on a building you didn't know if you were going to get. I went home and talked to Eddie about Vicki giving us a quote but he thought it was best to not do business with her due to our past.

    I always liked you until this season. After you kicked Alexis out of the dinner at your gym you went out and listened in on their conversation and you say that you all are not a bullies but you all need a dictionary, the look you had on your face of pure satisfaction after listening to Alexis cry and how you all ganged up on her is horrific. No one is perfect but ganging up on someone is never the way to truly talk to them and have them understand your point of view. She was there and behaving perfectly until you all starting in on her again. The 3 of you are the trouble makers and no one else. I hope when you watched this episode you felt ashamed of yourself because if you did not there is no hope for you. The smug self satisfied look on your face showed your true nature to the world. And the same goes for Gretchen and Heather you should be ashamed of yourselves. You are grown woman not teenage girls, Is this the kind of behavior you want your children to see and copy.

    Finally, Tamra.  You had an introspective moment when you were out with Eddie.  I have been pretty critical of your behavior on these blogs, but I have to give you props for being able to own the fact that you don't know how to communicate your feelings.  I hope you continue to be introspective and can actually have a mature dialogue with Alexis about what the problems are in your relationship.  It's never too late to change.

    Tamra, it's time to take a good look at yourself and I can guarantee you - there is nothing to like! Shame on you!

    Chase1951@ 15 pts

    Tamra is just an outright..... and yes she does bully Alexis! I sometimes cannot even watch how mean she is. She always has to have a victim, every season! This is the true signs of a bully. Own your very bad behaviour and address it instead of always blaming everyone else. Every action and word we speak is a choice!

    jaime2013 5 pts

    It seems from what we're witnessing that not only yourself, but everyone else is either playing the agressor, or the victim, at any given point. I see a ton of cloak and dagger and never any real directness -- The gal who's shown the most maturity is Heather, but her issues are apparent as well..who doesn't have something to work on?

     From Gretchen's interview about the fake Tamra:

     

    This season she was texting me one thing about a situation, but on camera displaying another. I’m just a straight shooter, I don’t talk out both ends of my mouth. So I asked her on camera what the deal was and how come she was texting me one thing but doing another, needless to say that didn’t go over very well and things got a little weird with us for a minute, but I thought we worked through it and were back on good terms. Perfect example is this interview with you guys, when I asked her about it she texted me it was all BS and you guys completed manipulated the story, but then you guys said you have voice recordings of her saying this about me.

    Bravo, please listen to the people who watch these programs, or used to! It's time for Tamara

    to leave, and she can take Gretchen and Heather with her. Actually, get a whole new cast!

    You allow Alexis to manipulate your emotions. You have done nothing but give her power over your outbursts. At some point you need to take that control back because its quite clear Alexis is the pupeteer with you being the puppet.

    This being said, you look foolish and I am embarressed for you.

    boga 723 pts

     Bigwednesday There are 3 main reasons that lead to emotional outbursts and Alexis is not one of them. 

    -  Stressful life

    -  Bad habits

     - Hereditary reasons

     

    You know, Alexis is not the only person attacked by Tamra.

     You left out one very good reason for emotional outbursts... ignorance.  Tamera acts out becaus she doesn't understand whats going on and uses rage as a way of preventing an insult.

    I believe you have unresolved issues with your father leaving your mother. This was shown when you were practically begging him for his love a few seasons ago. He left your mother and you felt abandoned too, even though you were an adult when it happened. I think this is where a lot of your anger comes from.

    prov31ruth 119 pts

     mrsdonut Very thoughtful!  Counseling can help a lot.  Like I said before.  I don't think you have mean intentions, you are very hurt.  You act of of anger and misplaced feelings for things that are not your fault.  Your are responsible for your behavior but we can see why you act out so much.  I wish people were not so mean to you in their replies it only makes the whole "mean girl" or "bully" thing worse.  Name calling, cursing or insults are never appropriate.

    You have been rude since the beginning. And just like all bullies, you hide when you are out in the open. Where are your blogs? Can't face the music? 

    Also, with behavior like yours, CUT is not a very good name for your business. Too much temptation to add a letter or two. Just saying..........

    Oh my seems most folks don't think too highly of you these days Tamra. The way you have been treating your good friend Vicki should be a reminder of how you turn on friends you say you love. When you really care for someone you will do whatever is necessary to fix what is broken to keep them in your live. To try and compare you with Vicki's daughter is a joke.. You are nothing like her and to be honest the jokes on you Tamra. Your boyfriend will come to see the real you soon if you don't change your ways.  Vicki and your relationship deserves the best efforts put forth to find a common ground with you both, if you truly care about your friendship.  Make a change before your world crashes...

    My friend and I are done with the show. The dinner for your new place was very disapointing.  You loved Alexis coming so you could tear her apart. You are not a diva but just a mean girl!  You show no compasion for others.

    All the gyms, younger men, hair extensions, and makeup wont make you a better person. You treatment of Vicki, an accomolished business woman, and jealousy of Alexis...yes jealousy makes u laughable whether its lsughing to the bank or for that crazy hair of yours its still funny. You can rag on Vicki and her working all the time or Alexis and her supposed controlling husband but something you have that I doubt they ever will is an. Ugliness that shows brightly wherever you are

    Wow, just read the comments.  I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that Tamra has just about the worst character on reality  television.   Just plain mean spirited, getting her kicks out of someone else's pain.  Hopefully, we won't have to see her next season.   I hope Heather and Gretchen realize this and stear clear of her.

    @amylove you either are not watching or have a really short memory, Tamra is just A ..doing her Job, B ,,giving the viewers want..C ,, Is a really really nice nice person ,D ..Not taking crap any crap anymore ,,what is so hard about that? It's pretty easy to pick out a good person with loyal values , Tamera is one, a woman in full who is now empowered herself ,,how could or would any of you people chastise her for that, ? I love the Tamra we are seeing now the new Tamra,,maybe you should try it, ENOUGH! Done, had Alexis done it in Costa Rica, there would be no problem! Some times you godda break the table with a sledge hammer if you want too keep your friends.I saw how Tammy Sue handled herself..at her party ,I would have done the same thing,,,my whole family is in agreement ..we don't take crap from bad intending misbehaving GUESTS,,,right on Mss Tamra , and she always wins by working it out,,more than most can say..she is ok by me . So Tamra has some ovum,ovum ovum ..you go sister ....yyyeeeppp! Lol..

    @Luv2rocku You are delusional...

    Luv2rocku 41 pts

    @RvaViewer i hardly think I am delusional, lol..I just happen to know these women a lot better than you do...after just watching her open up to Eddie, I still feel the same way. I do believe her filter is off at times,,All of them have that problem.. But again at least she owns it. She grew up in a home that know one showed true emotion or remorse. Never said they were sorry, she was in a horrible marriage with Simon that again was a poor choice on her part, but I don't think she is intentionally mean. Simon treated her eldest son horrible and went out of his way to mentally abuse her and take her down at any opportunity..Out of all of the RHOC Tamra has grown the most,,and battled through some very difficult issues. I see her in a much more positive way than I did in the beginning and do believe she has and is doing a very good job of self evaluation and re inventing herself,, As far as blogging I don't see much from anyone right now. The kids are in school. The weather is hot and sunny.I would rather be out with my family than sit around reading and responding to most of what people are flinging right now.. Her plate full. She did on FB say she was taking a time out with her kids. I think Vicki is still a mess, And was highly self absorbed during the weekend trip up north . Talk about no filter good Gawd , Not just the foot but the whole leg. This is the first time in Tamras life that she has entered into the professional world,,I think she is doing great!! And Eddie has been wonderful. I don't think Vicki is all that when it comes to business, She is clueless to technology , Runs strictly off emotion in every aspect of her life,I would not do business with her..I have seen way to much, what a nightmare on roids,,... I by far think Tamra has it going on over the favored Vicki..when it comes to business,,I see only good things happening for Tamra. As long as she stays focused keeps up the forward momentum , Very smart of her to plant some seeds for the future. If I was her I would find another housewife to partner with in the wine business, Anyone but Vicky...keep it up Tammy Sue, Roam was not built in a day.but you are on your way..well done..

    It appears that Eddie may be having second thoughts about the whole marriage thing. Personally, I never thought he was really that into you because he never shows it but he is beginning to show that he is weary of all the chaos you are bringing into his life. From the beginning, I have thought that he was dating you to be on the show and perhaps he might be gay. To be gay would be a good thing for him but maybe not so much for you.

    Tamra: Thank goodness you found Eddie because I doubt if many men could put up with that loud unfiltered mouth of yours. Maybe all your tantrums and screaming is what is keeping you on the show but it sure makes you look like an out of control maniac. 

    piperbeau 12741 pts

     Jerj  Tamra thinks she is cute with her unfiltered mouth!! NOT! Most viewer's can see right through her!! You can be loud and unfiltered without being mean! Brandi for example!! We all know she can be unfiltered, but most of us love her!! The difference is Brandi doesn't go out of her way to be mean! And she is also a very loyal friend!! Something Tamra knows nothing about!!

    Fayeth 322 pts

    So Bravo pays you to "keep it real," ... that says a lot about you! Apparently to you real is arrogance, foul mouthed, disrespectful, insane behavior! If I were on Bravo "keeping it real" would mean compassionate, respectful, mature behavior and from the looks of things the same goes for about 98% of the fans because the vast majority of us agree that your behavior is reprehensible! If you keep it real at your gym it will not be successful ... Something to think about.

    @rosyposy ,Tamra has been telling on FB she's to busy and wants to spend time with her kids. Yet spends time there mouthing at anyone who disagrees with her it appears. In one of her replies to the post she tells she has to work more because the children's dad doesn't pay for her kids (Simon?) Tamra has spent years tearing men apart she judges as dead beats. Why would she not tell her own children's father doing the same then? Tamra is a walking talking lie. She's all about "DO AS I SAY,NOT WHAT I DO" it appears.

    I used to like you but your arrogance, disrespect, and cattiness has turned me off. It's an absolute wonder you have any friends and that Eddie stays with you (unless he's just in it for the camera time now). Your explanation of Bravo paying you to "keep it real" is pathetic. I don't care how much money a network through at me...my character and values are worth more than being exploited for money. While all people certainly have flaws, there are also virtues to counter them. Alexis has her compassion and loyalty to her friends, Heather has her maternal instincts and family values, Vicki has her vulnerability and love for her children, and Gretchen has her love for Slade. We see you're divorced and may have cheated on your husband, your kids are nowhere to be seen, you rip your friends to shreds if they don't side with you, and you objectify Eddie. So, what virtues do you have????

    It's time to go Tamra --- don't let the door hit you on the way out.  So over watching you - it's such a shame as not long ago you were such a great looking, happy girl ... now you've turned into a horrid hard unattractive old girl.   Turn your attitude around and I'm sure you will start to look like you once did, but honey --- you really are starting to stink, and thank goodness we don't have smell-a-vision.

    Motorcitywife 4251 pts

    Tamra, you said something on your Facebook page a few days ago that has really irritated me.  You said that you didn't have to blog because it wasn't in your contract, and also pointed out that you didn't get "paid" to blog.  I have to tell you, that is an insult to all of the fans of this show that have allowed you to become a reality celebrity.  I hate more than anything the claims by Alexis that she is being bullied - to me that is just crap.  But you know what, she is giving the fans the respect they deserve by basically acknowledging the fact that she wouldn't have a  pot to piss in if it weren't for this show.  Guess what, you wouldn't either.  Some of the gals on all of these shows would have been just fine had they never appeared on the Real Housewives.  Vicki is a good example.  True, she has no doubt sold much more insurance because of the publicity, but she would have continued to be successful with or without this show. Same for Heather.  I didn't know who she was, but she had a whole career before this, and clearly she would have been fine financially with or without us.  You, my dear, are not in this same category.  The only reason your name comes up on Google is because Andy Cohen and Bravo gave  you a job and we watched the show.

     

    Your gym - it only exists because you had the financial resources from US.  The free publicity you will get from this show to help folks equip themselves with hard bodies or buy your wine is because of all of US. I have never liked Alexis, but you know what, she is the bigger person right now.  I know, it is easier to blog when you have lots of fan support, but trust me, she takes a lot of hits as well, as do all of the gals, and they still manage to turn in a blog.  Heather and Gretchen take the brunt of the blows, and let's face it, you are the real culprit in most of what has gone on this season, yet you remain mum and let your "friends" take all of the hits.  You need to put on your big girl panties, and regardless of contracts of specific payments in return for your words, show the fans a little respect.
