The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip cast member and The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Tamra Judge admitted she was “afraid of Brandi Glanville" ahead of filming the newest season of RHUGT together, due to their past social media feuds. In a franchise known for its dramatic and outrageous vacations, the first season of RHUGT set the gold standard for outrageous, drama-filled Real Housewives content when it premiered on Peacock in November 2021. Now for the first time since their exits from The Real Housewives, a new batch of unforgettable ex-housewives will return for a much-anticipated vacation. There's plenty of fan expectations to live up to following the success of RHUGT season 1.
On RHOC, Tamra was known for bringing the drama, as well as her tendency to take her fights with other castmates to social media. And it seems her feud with Brandi reached an all-time high in the newest season of RHUGT. Viewers were given a taste of the upcoming drama during the RHUGT season 2 trailer, which included a clip of long-time frenemies Tamra and Brandi getting into a shouting match and yelling at each other to "shut the f*** up" over dinner. With the upcoming second season of the Real Housewives spin-off set to premiere this week, fans are speculating about the friendships and enemies Tamra and the other housewives will make during the new All-Stars season.
RHUGT season 2 co-stars Tamra and Phaedra Parks recently sat down to spill the tea ahead of the premiere, promising fans that they’re in for some of the most exciting and unpredictable storylines yet. “Brandi definitely shakes some people up in the house,” Tamra told E! News. "I can't remember if she makes anyone cry. There was a lot of alcohol involved. The memory is a little foggy." Fans know from experience that Tamra is no stranger to social media drama; she and Brandi have a long documented history of feuding on Twitter, which prompted Tamra to admit she "was afraid of Brandi" ahead of filming. However, it seems the pair were able to find common ground during filming. "We work things out pretty quickly. By the first episode...we sit down and we talk it through and we decide we do like each other,” shared reality star Tamra. “We have some bumps moving forward, but for the most part we work it out and towards the end, we have a lot of fun together."
It seems that Phaedra also wasn't sure about how she would get along with Brandi, admitting that other castmates warned her that the RHOC alum was “so crazy and such a wild card.” However, Phaedra said that she quickly changed her mind about Brandi after spending more time with her during filming. "I think people see Brandi and make very quick assumptions about who she is and what she's about. We ended up becoming real besties in real life. We talk all the time." Phaedra added that "[Brandi] is like a sister to me now." She also mentioned that she was pleasantly surprised by how well she got along with Dorinda, calling The Real Housewives of New York City alum a "goddess" and "absolutely perfect," noting of her hostess skills, "I didn't know I would fall in love with Dorinda."
With old grudges, new friendships, drunken nights at Dorinda's and plenty of binge-worthy drama, it seems RHUGT season 2 is set to be one of the most thrilling yet. No doubt fans will enjoy watching some of their favorite Real Housewives stars dig up old drama while making new enemies. Tamra and Phaedra will be joined by ex-housewives Vicki Gunvalson, Jill Zarin, Eva Marcille, Brandi and Taylor Armstrong for a week of drama, deception and dirty little secrets at Dorinda's Berkshires estate, Bluestone Manor.
The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 2 premieres June 23 on Peacock.
