Judge Tamrathe husband of Eddie Judgeis reacting The Real Housewives of Orange Countyfinal casting decision.
“What I learned, especially from my interview Joe Gorga about him and his sister (Teresa Giudice) talking again, I realized we live in a world where you just don’t need enemies,” Eddie, 52, said on the Tuesday, Jan. 6, episode of iHeartRadio.The Ed”, podcast, reacting to Vicki GunvalsonSeason 20 of the Bravo reality show is back.
“What he did, he did on the show and what he did to me really wasn’t a big deal,” she continued, referring to the couple’s past disagreements.
In 2017, Vicki, 63, was invited Gretchen Rossi, Lizzie Rovsek i Kelly Dodd for a friendly meeting. During the meeting, allegations surfaced that Tamra’s husband might be gay. (Eddie has denied the claims.)
“What really bothered me is how he treated you,” Eddie told his wife and co-host Tamra, 58. “Then again, it’s a TV show… But when you fight, you fight like sisters.”
If Eddie had his wish, he could see his wife and Vicki have fun again while dating Vicki’s boyfriend, Michael Smith.
“At the end of the day, it helps that I like Mike. Mike is a great cat. I really, really like him,” Eddie shared. “At the end of the day, you have to forgive, forget and move on.”
Bravo has yet to announce any casting decisions for season 20 of The Real Housewives of Orange County — except for Vicki’s big comeback.
While cast members and viewers wait for news, Tamra and Eddie discussed some burning questions fans may have about the show. Read on to see what they revealed in their latest podcast.

“I’m not a housewife,” she said before throwing some playful shade at other partners who get more involved. “They want their 15 minutes on a women’s housewives show. That’s it. I’m not for it.”
Instead, Eddie said he wants to support his wife as she documents her life for the Bravo cameras.
“I’m not about to bother you or involve you. This is not a show about boys,” she reiterated. “It’s a housewives show. My only place is to support you, call it a supporting role. I’m not about to be a whore on the show.”
What is the biggest misconception about Tamra Judge?
While Tamra is known to stir the pot season after season, Eddie assured listeners that his wife is more than friendly at home when the cameras aren’t rolling.
“(The biggest misconception is) that you’re mean and drunk and really hard to be friends with, which is the irony because you’re real? You don’t care about the stupidity of what people are doing in the world,” he shared. “You keep to yourself. You’re actually a bigger man than I am.”
Eddie continued, “What I’ve learned in business is as an entrepreneur, you go,
you do your job, you do your job. When you come home, you leave all the problems and issues outside the door and go in and enjoy your family.”
Tamra Judge thinks there’s no way to reconcile her friendship with Gretchen Rossi after their Real Housewives of Orange County reunion drama. “Unfortunately, no.

“At the end of the day, this is your thing. You fight with it,” he explained. “You have your highs. You have your lows. You have your good days. You have your bad days and I’m just here to support you and whatever decision you make. At the end of the day, there’s one thing I’ve learned from you. Tamra is going to do whatever the hell Tamra wants to do.”
Eddie said he’s in a position to help bounce ideas off his wife, brainstorm and offer support when it’s needed most.
“At the end of the day, it doesn’t really affect me,” he said. “This is about you and you’re great on the show – the few episodes I watch.”
