Get a sneak peek of Heather, Andy, and Tamera's conversation, and watch the RHOC reunion's cold open.
Tamra Judge made her return to The Real Housewives of Orange County for Season 17, and while she was admittedly thrilled to be back, the same can't be said for some of her fellow cast members after they found themselves clashing with her all season — namely, Heather Dubrow.
Read on to see what Heather has to say about her and Tamra's friendship in a sneak peek of Part 1 of the RHOC Season 17 reunion, airing on Wednesday, October 4. Plus, take a look at the cold open for the reunion.
Heather Dubrow and Tamra Judge's RHOC Season 17 Drama
As the above clip shows, the topic of Heather and Tamra's tension comes up when reunion host Andy Cohen asks Heather the following viewer-submitted question: "How does it feel knowing you fell right back into a friendship with Tamra then she purposefully tried to turn the girls against you?"
"Coming into today," Heather begins, "I think there would be a case to walk in feeling a little vindicated, right? I don't feel that way at all. I feel incredibly sad."
Tamra, for her part, says she also feels "sad." That, and she "never came into this group to turn everybody against" Heather.
Replies Heather, "But literally, there wasn't one episode where you didn't say something unkind about me. Not one."
Attempting to offer an explanation, Tamra says, "Well, I did come into this season not knowing where I stood with you because on your podcast, it was either you or your co-host [who] said, 'There's no place for Tamra on the show anymore.'"
Heather insists it wasn't her who said it before bringing up a different remark.
Heather Dubrow Responds to Tamra Judge's Accusation About Calling Andy Cohen
According to Heather, Tamra had previously accused her of asking Andy not to bring her back for RHOC Season 17. As Heather puts it, "You made a comment somewhere saying that I had called Andy to tell him this, but I just want to assure you, I am such a tiny cog in the Andy Cohen machine, if I have five minutes on the phone with him, I love you [but] I'm not talking about you. I got my own sh-t to talk about."
Andy backs Heather up, noting, "I will say she never brought that up to me."
Still, the mere notion "hurt" Tamra's feelings, she says.
"I understand," Heather replies, concluding the conversation. "I'm sorry about that."
