Recently, Vicki called Tamra a 'traitor' over her gig on the Peacock show gig which offended Tamra. Now, Tamra wants to distance herself from 'toxic' people and backstabbers. Meanwhile, Vicki recently took to her Instagram Stories to reflect on whether she could ever be friends with Tamra again. During a Q&A session, a follower asked, "Would you ever trust Tamra again?" The Bravo star responded, "Absolutely flipping never ever nor do I want to be friends with her again." Tamra shares similar feelings about Vicki and has consistently insisted that she would never be friends with her again.

Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge's strained friendship split 'Tres Amigas'

'RHOC' stars Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, and Shannon Storms Beador formed the group 'Tres Amigas' to celebrate their remarkable friendship. Sadly, the trio broke up after Tamra quit the group. Vicki has often claimed that Shannon's DUI arrest was the reason behind Tamra's departure. However, Tamra hinted that their strained friendship was what ultimately led to the group's breakup.

Vicki and Tamra notably exchanged public shade on social media, which further sabotaged their friendship. Tamra later explained, 'The reason I am not doing the Tres Amigas is because I caught them talking behind my back.' She revealed that catching Vicki and Shannon talking about her behind her back was hurtful.
