After watching a highlight reel of Tamra trash-talking her former pal on last season of RHOC and WWHL, Rossi was asked to respond — and she didn't hold back.
"The thing is, Tamra Barney has lost all credibility with everybody, including the viewers," Gretchen said. "She’s the biggest, lying, manipulating, conniving, narcissistic sociopath. I say she’s a sociopath because sociopaths don’t even realize that they do any wrong. All they do is blame everyone else for their mistakes, and that’s all she continues to do. The viewers saw it this last season."
Later during the show, Cohen asked the reality star to say something nice about her former co-star. "She lies really good. She manipulates really well," Rossi replied. "She lies and tells everyone she is doing it just for the show."
The soon-to-be Mrs. Slade Smiley reiterated that point during the WWHL After Show, telling Cohen she takes issue with Barney's habit of telling everyone she plays a "fictional character" on RHOC.
"I think that hurts the franchise. Because when I was on the show, I was real, I was really me," said Rossi, who had an on-and-off friendship with Barney during her five seasons on the Bravo smash. "I wasn't playing a character, and I wasn't doing anything to make good TV."
Judge, for her part, responded by sending a note to Cohen, which he read on the air. "Did she come on just to talk about me?" the note read. "Tell her I said she looks beautiful and I wish her well and best of luck with getting pregnant."
Judge also took to Instagram after the show, sharing a picture of a quote reading: "Holding a grudge is letting someone live rent-free in your head."
