‘Real Housewives of Orange County’: Fans blame Tamra for her 'dysfunctional family'
We have all been privy to Tamra Judge’s family and its dynamics over the years, thanks to ‘RHOC’. On the latest episode of ‘RHOC’ we see her older son, Ryan and her younger son, Spencer, trying to resolve their differences. In the midst of their conversation, we hear Spencer calling out his mother for not being there for him while he was going through a breakup. Tamra quickly reminds him that she was with him on the phone until 4 am talking to him for the past four days. Spencer didn’t look entirely happy with his mother’s defensive response. While Ryan reminds Spencer about how tough his childhood was and how he had no support from anybody.
Tamra soon gets pulled into her children’s lives, where they call her out for not always being present and lashing out at them owing to her work-related stress. In her green room interview, Tamra talks about her “functional dysfunctional family”, where both her sons don’t talk to their fathers, and her daughter doesn’t talk to her.
Although the scene was brief, hawk-eyed fans observed a lot about Tamra’s family dynamics and pointed out to her that she may be the root of dysfunction. A fan tweeted, “Maybe Tamra should look around and see that the common denominator in all the dysfunction is her #RHOC #BravoTV”. Another fan wrote, “I’m no therapist, but I think I know why Tamra’s family is dysfunctional. #rhoc #RHOC”.
Several fans talked about how the brief interaction between her kids and her “exposed” her parenting skills. A fan wrote, “Tamra is getting exposed as a self-absorbed, uncaring parent. Is anyone surprised? #RHOC”. “Another child of Tamra’s critiquing her parenting skills. Yikes. #RHOC”, echoed another fan. “Literally every single one of Tamras children have publicly stated that she is an awful, unsupportive, selfish excuse of a mother. Spencer might as well just said: "Look lady! You've only been in contact with me b/cuz you're filming!" #RHOC #tamrajudge”, expressed a fan.
Another fan pointed out, “That mirror into Tamra as a parent was eye-opening. The being dismissive of her kids feelings, the complete lack of empathy, the deflection, turning it around and making herself the victim. There’s just a lot of unpack there #RHOC #BravoTV”.
A fan suggested the housewife to stop stirring “drama and gossips” and “focus on the family”. “Not surprised Tamra stirs up drama and gossips. Tamra needs to focus on the family and build bridges with them. It’s not right to not talk to your own children and siblings #RHOC”.
Catch all the drama and fun from the latest season 14 of 'Real Housewives of Orange County' every Tuesday at 9/8c only on Bravo.
