Tamra Judge is calling out Brandi Glanville for telling Andy Cohen on a recent episode of her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast that she and Vicki Gunvalson claimed that they were let go from The Real Housewives of Orange County due to their age, accusing Bravo of being ageist.
“I DID NOT say Andy fired me due to my age,” Judge told CELEB. “That is just ridiculous since Shannon [Beador] is older than me and still employed.”
Judge then went in on Glanville, noting that “This is Just another one of Brandi’s ignorant attacks. Last year on her podcast she said that I ‘don’t see my granddaughter’ and I have a mental condition.’ Both of those statements are NOT true, either!”
Judge continued, “I refuse to sit back while this woman continues to spread lies, lies, [and more] lies.”
Judge then responded to Glanville’s claims that Judge had “told her entire story.” She told the outlet that “As far as my story being played out? I wasn’t filming a story, I was sharing my life. I gave a lot to Bravo and the viewers in the past 12 years and am thankful for my time on The Real Housewives of Orange County.”
“However,” Judge noted, “my time was up! I never expected to be on the show as long as I was. I was able to connect with a lot of amazing people and start two businesses- www.venacbd.com www.cutfitoc.com and I look forward to my future.”
Tamra added, “Maybe if Brandi stopped ‘telling stories’ shed get the diamond she so desperately wants.”
The claim that Glanville was referring to was an interview Judge had done back in June on David Yontef's Behind The Velvet Rope Podcast. In that episode, Judge stated that Bravo wanted “younger Housewives,” using Real Housewives of New York City newcomer Leah McSweeney as an example.
Judge then clarified the comments she made on Behind the Velvet Rope. “If she actually listened to the Podcast I did, my exact comment was referring to new Housewives that have been hired. [It had] nothing to do with age discrimination or why I got let go,” she told CELEB.
Tamra revealed that she reached out to Cohen and cleared the air. “I texted with Andy yesterday to clear this up and he knows I never said that.”
