Following Tamra Judge seemingly leaving RHOC recently, rumors have begun swirling that the reason she left was because she's been leaking storylines about her fellow Bravolebrities, with the claim specifying that she was spreading rumors and leaking information about her RHOC co-stars.
A source speaking to In Touch claimed that Tamra Judge was confronted about spreading the rumors about her co-stars and leaking information to tabloids and bloggers to make them look bad.
A source claims Tamra Judge is spreading lies about her RHOC co-stars
While some people believe that her sudden departure from the series might have been related to her Two Ts in a Pod podcast co-host and befriend, Teddi Mellencamp, going through a major health scare with tumors being found in her brain and on her lungs, the source speaking to In Touch says otherwise.
"Tamra Judge has been cited as being the No. 1 source for production leaks to the media and attempting to get bloggers and reporters to write defamatory and damaging stories about her castmates. She then goes and accuses others of doing it," the insider told the publication. They continued by claiming that she keeps "a folder on each member of the cast" and scours the internet searching for rumors and information to look into so she can use the information against them.
According to the source, Tamra Judge is behind a number of social media accounts that, shortly after being created and without gaining very many followers, will speak positively about Tamra while leaving hateful comments on her co-stars' posts.
Tamra Judge denies the claim that she's spreading the rumors
Meanwhile, Tamra Judge is completely denying the claims that she's behind any gossip or online rumors being spread about her co-stars. After a video repeating the claims was shared to X (formerly Twitter), Tamra Judge took to the replies to shoot down the "lie" with a simple statement.
Lie, lie, lie! 🤦🏼♀️

On her Two Ts in a Pod podcast with Teddi Mellencamp, Tamra Judge opened up about the real reason that she left in the middle of filming RHOC in New Orleans.
She told her best friend and podcast co-host, "When I get like this, my body just shuts down, It just completely shuts down. And I can just sit in one place and just stare at the wall for hours. And that's how I feel and it's really hard to film like that when you feel like that."
She also revealed that Teddi Mellencamp had texted her and claimed to be on her "deathbed" after doctors discovered a number of tumors that Teddi says her doctors believe have been growing for the past several months. "I remember texting you back and said, 'No, you're not, because if you're on yours, then I'm on mine, because I can't live without you,'" Tamra Judge said on the podcast about receiving the text about her co-host's health scare.
Between the heartfelt discussion about her health update and the photo of the pair of them that Tamra Judge shared on X, it definitely seems like her sudden decision to depart New Orleans and step away from the RHOC cameras may have been sparked by Teddi Mellencamp's health scare.
But, fans will have to wait until the new season of RHOC airs to see the cast trip to New Orleans and see exactly what happened before Tamra Judge left.
