Orange County Housewives Tamra Barney and Gretchen Rossi Still Feuding

So many people believe that high school ends at the age of 18 when the diplomas are handed out and college dorms are decorated, but it’s not true; and the ladies of the Real Housewives franchise are the first to remind the rest of the world that high school lasts an eternity. Adulthood, apparently, has nothing to do with maturity, and becoming older does not necessarily mean that one is wiser as evidenced by the on-again, off-again friends that appear on these shows.

More than a year after Orange County’s Gretchen Rossi left the show, she and OC housewife Tamra Barney are still feuding like a couple of teenagers. When Rossi made an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, she spent a great deal of time telling the host exactly what she thinks of her frenemy.

“The thing is that Tamra Barney has lost all credibility with everybody, including the viewers. She’s the biggest lying, manipulating, conniving, narcissistic sociopath. And I says she’s a sociopath because sociopaths don’t even realize that they do anything wrong. All they do is blame everyone else for their mistakes, and that’s all she continues to do,” said Rossi after watching several snotty comments that Barney stated about her.

Cohen asked the former housewife what she had to say about Barney that’s nice. After thinking for a moment, Rossi responded with, “She lies really good. She manipulates really well.” She continued by telling Cohen and the viewers that Barney (now known by her married name, Judge) tells the fans she’s playing a role, a character that Bravo asked her to play.

“I think that hurts the franchise. Because when I was on the show, I was real, I was really me. I wasn’t playing a character, and I wasn’t doing anything to make good TV,” she said. Barney apparently saw the show and decided to post her response to Instagram as well as send a message to Cohen to read on the air. To Cohen she said, “Did she come on just to talk about me? Tell her I said she looks beautiful and I wish her well and best of luck with getting pregnant.” To her Instagram followers she said, “Holding a grudge is letting someone live rent-free in your head.”
