The latest episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County premiered on Thursday, October 17, 2024, featuring a shocking revelation by Jenn concerning Tamra. During the episode, Jenn learned from Shannon that Tamra had conducted a background check on her partner, Ryan, while filming for season 17.
Disturbed by this discovery, Jenn confronted Tamra about involving her friend’s husband in running a background check on Ryan. Tamra brushed off the accusations, insisting she never financed such an investigation. She clarified that she merely inquired if Ryan was licensed as a mortgage broker. Nevertheless, Jenn found it hard to trust Tamra’s explanation, especially after Shannon presented her with evidence of the background check.
In a heated exchange, Tamra insisted on her honesty, swearing on her children’s lives that she was not lying or concealing anything. Many fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County took to X to voice their disapproval of Tamra for invoking her children during the altercation. They believed it was inappropriate for Tamra to make such a pledge despite evidence suggesting she had indeed run a check on Ryan.
“DID TAMRA JUST SWEAR ON HER KIDS? OH THIS LADY IS NASTY,”wrote one user.
“Tamra just lied and swore on her kids’ lives! That’s insane but so on-brand!”commented another.
“tamra swearing on her kids when she knows she’s lying….girl,”tweeted a netizen.
Viewers of The Real Housewives of Orange County were quick to criticize Tamra for employing her children’s names to justify her stance in the argument with Jenn.
“”Swear to God on my kids’ life.” Have fun in hell, @TamraJudgeOC,”one user reacted.
“She just swore on her kids’ lives that it was only 2 years ago a few seconds ago lmaooooooo. Tamra is insane,”commented another.
“There’s more swearing on your kids’ lives. Housewives who do this? You all should be ashamed. How do you think your kids feel to hear that? Do f**king better,”wrote another viewer.
“but on another note people like Tamra are scary and dangerous because she sat there at first and swore on her children she didn’t do that, then yelled out and said it was two years ago,”tweeted another user.
Simultaneously, many fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County held Tamra accountable for putting her relationship with her children at risk.
“Maybe part of why her kids hate her is because she swears on their lives then immediately starts lying,”commented one follower.
“So now we know why Tamra’s kids have issues with her – she swears on their life time and time again and then lies immediately after,”noted another netizen.
Jenn Accuses Tamra of Dishonesty
After finding out from Shannon that Tamra had conducted a background check on Ryan in 2022, Jenn decided to confront her. As expected, Tamra became defensive when Jenn pressed her about it. Despite Jenn’s assertions that Tamra was lying, Tamra continued to deny the accusations, even reiterating her innocence by swearing on her children’s lives to support her claims.
“Swear to God on my kid’s life I did not,”Tamra stated.
Later, Tamra did admit to an incident two years prior but refused to categorize it as a “background check.”She elaborated that she simply asked a friend’s husband whether Ryan was a licensed mortgage broker, claiming she ceased her inquiry upon learning he was not licensed.
The audience was unimpressed by Tamra’s recourse to swearing on her children’s lives, as they generally believed she was being dishonest, especially since Shannon produced evidence contradicting Tamra’s claims of innocence. Viewers began to reflect on Tamra’s strained relationship with her children, mainly with her eldest daughter Sidney, who distanced herself from Tamra post-divorce from Simon Barney.
Reports suggested Sidney decided to cut ties with Tamra, feeling that her mother contributed to the turmoil in their lives. In a September 2, 2024, episode of My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast, co-star Vicki Gunvalson revealed that Tamra had not taken any steps toward mending the relationship with her estranged daughter.
“Sidney has a very strong opinion of Tamra. ‘Stop embarrassing the family. Stop doing what you’re doing. Get off the show when you have a chance.’ Tamra did none of that,”Vicki commented.
In the latest installment of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Jenn openly critiqued Tamra’s choices and emphasized that her children lived with her happily, advising Tamra to keep her family out of it.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs every Thursday at 9 PM ET exclusively on Bravo.
