REAL Housewives of Orange County’s Tamra Judge has a screaming match with her enemy, Gretchen Rossi, and had to be held back by their fellow cast members in a mid-season trailer.
The reality star lashed out at her co-star over an incident that occurred in Season 4 of the Bravo series.

A preview for what’s to come in the current Season 19 circulated on social media on Thursday showing the moment the ladies nearly had a physical altercation while at dinner with the cast.
In the clip, Tamra, 58, claims that Gretchen, 46, got intoxicated and was spreading lies about the podcast host.
The following scene showed the pair at dinner with their co-stars, with Gretchen appearing to confront Tamra about an uncomfortable encounter that had aired on the show years earlier.
“I have kept my mouth shut forever,” Gretchen began but was immediately cut off by Tamra, who leaped out of her chair over to Gretchen, screaming “F**k off” and sticking her middle fingers in her face.
Several of their castmates attempted to calm Tamra down before she stormed out of the restaurant in a rage.
YEARS-LONG FEUD
Their beef appeared to stem from the “Naked Wasted” story that dates back to Season 4, when Tamra revealed her plans to get Gretchen very drunk during a barbecue she hosted at her house.
She apparently conspired with her son Ryan, who was bartending that evening, to make that happen, and things got out of hand quickly.
Viewers noticed that the mother-son duo consistently fed the first-year Housewife tequila shots, even when friends tried to cut her off and knowing that Gretchen had a fiancé back home.
Cameras also captured a flirty exchange between Gretchen and Ryan that raised some red flags, given that the then-early 20-something-year-old clearly overserved her.
Tamra later claimed in a confessional that Gretchen was jealous of her, and she felt sorry for her co-star, despite also telling her to cool it with her drinking.
Fast forward to recently, when Katie Ginella claimed that Gretchen told her she went to the hospital after that night because she was so ill.
However, when she was approached about the incident, Gretchen denied the claims and said, “It didn’t happen.”
Tamra called out Gretchen’s alleged lie during the August 28 episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, claiming that Gretchen had told her she had gone to the hospital, and kept flip-flopping her story.
Season 4 was Gretchen’s first season on the RHOC as a main cast member, which premiered in 2008, while Tamra joined in 2007 during the show’s third season.
