The drama from The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion has spilled over into real life, with Ryan Boyajian launching a scathing attack on Tamra Judge, branding her "a rat" for allegedly spreading false rumors about him in the aftermath of the fiery finale.
Ryan, who has been at the center of controversy this season due to his rocky relationship with RHOC star Jenn Pedranti and whispers of infidelity, took to social media to air his grievances against Tamra, accusing her of fabricating stories to amp up the show's drama. In an Instagram post that has since gone viral, Ryan didn’t hold back, writing, “Tamra Judge is nothing but a rat. The lies she continues to spread are pathetic, and she’s doing it just to stay relevant.”
The post quickly ignited a firestorm among RHOC fans, many of whom are divided over who’s telling the truth in this messy feud. Tamra, known for her sharp tongue and penchant for stirring the pot, has yet to respond to Ryan’s accusations directly, but insiders claim she’s unfazed by his remarks. “Tamra thrives on drama,” one source close to the show revealed. “Ryan calling her names isn’t going to bother her. If anything, she’ll probably use it as ammunition to clap back.”
Ryan’s explosive comments come on the heels of a dramatic season finale, where Tamra accused him of being unfaithful to Jenn and not taking their relationship seriously. During the reunion, Tamra doubled down on her claims, alleging that Ryan had been dishonest not just with Jenn but with the entire group. “He’s a fraud,” Tamra declared on the reunion stage, leaving Jenn visibly shaken and defensive.
Fans of the show have been quick to take sides, with some applauding Tamra for exposing Ryan’s alleged behavior, while others have criticized her for meddling in Jenn’s personal life. One fan tweeted, “Tamra always has to be the center of attention. Why can’t she just stay out of Jenn and Ryan’s business?” Another wrote, “Ryan is just mad because Tamra called him out on his shady behavior. If you have nothing to hide, why are you so angry?”
Meanwhile, Ryan’s relationship with Jenn appears to be hanging by a thread amid the ongoing drama. Sources close to the couple say Jenn has been deeply affected by the accusations and public scrutiny. “Jenn is really struggling right now,” an insider shared. “She loves Ryan, but the constant rumors and attacks are taking a toll on her. She’s questioning if this relationship is worth all the drama.”
Tamra, however, isn’t backing down. In a cryptic Instagram Story posted shortly after Ryan’s rant, she shared a quote that read, “When people can’t control you, they try to control how others see you. Stay true to yourself and let the truth speak for itself.” Fans immediately speculated that the post was a dig at Ryan, with one follower commenting, “Tamra always has the last word, and she knows exactly how to throw shade without naming names.”
The feud has also reignited debates about Tamra’s role on the show, with some fans accusing her of going too far in her quest to create drama. But insiders insist that Tamra is simply doing her job. “Tamra knows how to keep things interesting,” a production source said. “She’s been in this game long enough to know what works and what doesn’t. Love her or hate her, she’s good TV.”
As for Ryan, he’s reportedly considering taking further action to clear his name. Some have speculated that he may even go as far as filing a defamation lawsuit against Tamra, though no official statement has been made on the matter. For now, he seems content to let his social media posts do the talking, with one recent comment reading, “The truth will come out eventually. I’m not the bad guy here, no matter how hard Tamra tries to make me look like one.”
With tensions running high and both sides refusing to back down, this feud shows no signs of slowing. Fans are eagerly awaiting Tamra’s next move, and many are speculating that the drama could carry over into the next season of RHOC. Will Tamra and Ryan ever bury the hatchet, or will their rivalry become one of the most explosive in Housewives history? One thing’s for sure: when it comes to RHOC, the drama never ends. Stay tuned.
