Gretchen Rossi Truly Cannot Keep Her Story Straight When It Comes to Tamra Judge

When it comes to Tamra Judge’s rumored boy band connection, Gretchen Rossi is making herself the center of the chaos — and somehow managing to confuse everyone in the process.

On the most recent episode of “RHOC: After Show,” Emily Simpson and Heather Dubrow rehashed the drama surrounding Tamra’s alleged fling with an unnamed boy band singer — and Gretchen, of course, couldn’t resist jumping in.

Gretchen Rossi Weighs in on Tamra Judge’s ‘Drowning Rat’ Vocals

“This whole thing started with Gretchen bringing up the whole [rumor] thing then talking about some recording that she had supposedly made and sang,” Emily explained, noting that Slade Smiley was “so excited” to spill details. Gretchen claimed she was actually protecting Tamra, saying she refused to play the recording even though Heather and Emily were “salivating at the mouth” to hear it.

“I was the one that said, ‘No, I’m not gonna play it,’” Gretchen insisted, before shading Tamra’s vocals as sounding like “a drowning rat.” She added, “Tamra has gone out so many times … and said ‘housewives should not sing,’ and it’s always made me giggle because I’ve always known about this song.”

Tamra clapped back by pointing out Gretchen’s own questionable music career. “She doesn’t have any ground to stand on to talk about me,” she said.

While Gretchen doubled down on defending Slade’s involvement — “Slade gets involved when he’s asked to get involved … It’s not brain surgery” — Heather reminded her plainly: “You’re the cast member, not him.”

As for Tamra, she set the record straight about the so-called boy bander, saying they were neighbors and that any “affair” talk was exaggerated. “If I wanted to hook up with him, I could’ve,” she said. “But we didn’t have that relationship. Our kids went to school together. I am to this day friends with him.”

Still, Gretchen insisted she “didn’t care” either way — a funny stance, considering how many times she’s brought it up over the years. Don’t even get us started on “naked wasted”!
