Tamra Judge thinks The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills needs Lisa Rinna.
Two-and-a-half years after Lisa, 62, announced her exit from the show after eight seasons, the 57-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star spoke of the former cast member, reacted to Rachel Zoe‘s addition, and criticized Janet Capera, 35, for her harsh claims against Danny Booko, 41, on The Valley, as she reflected on her and Eddie Judge‘s infamous bathtub scene of season six.
“Absolutely. 100%. Abso-f*cking-lutely. They need her. I love her,” Tamra said of a potential Lisa return on the July 15 episode of SiriusXM’s The John Hill Show. She then added, “I don’t think she’ll go back.”
According to Tamra, she loves Lisa and is always “her biggest supporter,” but she is “so excited” to see Rachel, 53, on the show.
Moving on to Janet’s claim about Danny sexually assaulting Jasmine Goode, 38, and her fiancée, Melissa Marie, Tamra said that what the cast was doing to Danny was “very unfortunate and mean.”
“What Janet did last episode was way below the belt. Way. I don’t even know if there’s even coming back from that,” she added.
Still, Tamra felt bad about the hate Janet was receiving.
“I don’t wanna see anybody get that kind of hate … I was really pushing for Janet … And then when she did with the molestation, and then said sexual assault, then doubled down and said, ‘Should I [say] he molested,’ this is what me and [Teddi Mellencamp] said: It didn’t happen to her. It happened, you know, to somebody else. And they talked it out and apologized,” Tamra reasoned.
Then, reflecting on her steamy bathtub moment with Eddie, 52, Tamra admitted that her husband nearly passed out because he was so nervous to film the racy scene.
“It’s Eddie’s really first time filming, and he’s like turning white, and he’s actually pretty shy, so he’s like, ‘I can’t do this.’ He’s against the wall. He’s about ready to pass out. He’s like, ‘I can’t do this. I’m too nervous,'” she shared.
But after filling the bathtub and giving Eddie shots of tequila, as well as a glass of wine, Tamra got him on board.
“He starts doing pushups, and then he goes, after the fact, he goes, ‘I wish I would’ve smacked my wiener around a little bit so I would’ve had a longer blur,'” she laughed. “So he just goes, ‘Okay, f*ck it. I’m doing it.'”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
