Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson don’t give a rip what anyone thinks about their rekindled friendship — not even Shannon Beador.
The on-again, off-again besties recently reunited to promote FlavCity instant lattes — highlighting the “non-toxic ingredients” and, apparently, their freshly detoxed friendship too.
When the duo spoke with Us Weekly, they addressed the potential backlash head-on.
“I’ve known Vicki longer than anybody, and I don’t think anybody should dictate who you can be friends with and can’t be friends with,” Tamra shared.
“I think Vicki’s the same.”
Vicki agreed, making it clear she’s not taking friendship instructions from anyone.
Not even a former Tres Amiga.
“I can talk to whoever I want. I can call whoever I want. I can be friends with whoever I want,” she said.
Vicki also insisted the meetup wasn’t about shading Shannon.
“We’re not bashing Shannon. We were actually having a great conversation. Tamra said she loves Shannon.”
Despite their rough patch this season, Tamra doubled down that she still cares for her friend — proving that when love runs deep, so can the hurt.
Of course, Bravo fans are speculating that this renewed bond is no coincidence.
An OC Reunion
With RHOC’s 20th season looming, it wouldn’t be shocking if producers wanted the OG of the OC back for the milestone.
For Vicki to seamlessly re-enter the fold, a reunion with Tamra was inevitable.
ICYMI: the Tres Amigas (Shannon, Vicki and Tamra’s girl group turned business venture) fizzled after Tamra distanced herself following Shannon’s DUI.
The Vena CBD founder also felt burned by whispers that Vicki and Shannon had been talking behind her back.
If history tells us anything, these two are friends for now.
Here’s hoping it lasts long enough to give us a truly iconic Season 20.
