Braunwyn Windham-Burke Says Tamra Judge “Has Been The Only Person From RHOC That Has Been There” For Her; Kelly Dodd Believes Tamra Is Using Braunwyn “As A Way To Get Back On The Show”

Braunwyn Windham-Burke clapped back at a fan after the Real Housewives of Orange County fan warned her to “be careful” and “stay away from” former cast member Tamra Judge.

“Tamara [sic] has been the only person from Rhoc that has been there for me,” Braunwyn replied, according to Us Weekly. “She knew I was sober and kept it to herself, she knew we were struggling with our daughter’s mental health issues and listened, she got me through a day that was so hard I was physically shaking….whatever you think you know, you don’t.”

However, Kelly Dodd believes that Tamra's motive for being supportive is simply to use Braunwyn to come back to the Bravo hit reality series.

“Tamra is budding up with Braunwyn hardcore as a way to get back on the show she wouldn't be giving her the time of day if Braunwyn wasn't a cast member lol,” Kelly tweeted on December 6.

Judge exited the Bravo hit reality series in January after appearing on the show for 12 seasons. Windham-Burke, for her part, joined RHOC in 2019 for the show’s 14th season. As she’s grown more comfortable in front of the cameras, she has shared her struggles openly, including her journey to sobriety and her marriage woes with husband Sean Burke.

In October, Braunwyn revealed that she’s seeing someone “special” who was not her husband of 20 years as the couple sparked speculation of a split. At the time, she admitted that she wasn’t “quite ready to put it all out there” yet — but said “things are really good” with her new flame.

Two months later, she came out as a lesbian during an emotional interview with GLAAD and revealed that her husband is on good terms with Kris, the woman she’s dating.
