Tamra Judge is already fueling Bravo gossip ahead of season 20 of “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” but according to Tamra, fans shouldn’t take her recent comments too seriously.
After appearing on “Jeff Lewis Live” and suggesting she might “blow s**t up” on the upcoming season, Tamra revealed that Heather Dubrow quickly reached out for clarification. The moment, which Tamra says was meant in jest, apparently caught Heather’s attention.
Heather Dubrow Calls Out Tamra Judge’s Season 20 Threat
On her podcast “By Order of the Faithfuls,” Tamra shared details of their conversation.
“I just talked to Heather Dubrow,” Tamra said. “She goes, ‘I saw you said you’re gonna blow things up!’ I go, ‘I was joking!’”
Tamra insisted she is not heading into season 20 looking for chaos.
“I [told Heather I said] it was actually my unbothered era that I’m going into for 2026. That’s my word,” she explained. “[My cohost Dolores Catania] told me to think of a word for 2026. Mine is very unbothered. I’m just unbothered.”
Tamra reiterated that her earlier comment was exaggerated for entertainment.
“I was joking when I said I’m gonna blow s**t up. You know, Jeff gets me going.”
Dolores agreed during the podcast taping. “He does. He gets everyone going.”
“He really does,” Tamra added.
Filming for “The Real Housewives of Orange County” season 20 is currently underway.

No one wants to film with her anymore, it’s time for Tamra to go.
Is anyone else just tired of the forced drama from Tammy Sue? It’s like she picks a target every season and goes in. It’s old and she need to go.
Tamra is the epitome of the self-produced, BS storyline. She just wants people to think S:20 will be different than her usual screeching nothingness…and it won’t be. If Bravo is actually going to hold them accountable for self-production, etc, whatever will she do? She’ll have nothing…again.
