**Tamra Judge Faces Bombshell Allegations in ‘RHOC’ Finale — Insider Claims It Was a Set-Up**
*Published Nov. 5, 2025, 3:00 p.m. ET*
The Season 19 finale of *The Real Housewives of Orange County* ended on a dramatic note when Tamra Judge was hit with bombshell allegations from a mysterious caller, sparking a wave of conspiracy theories among fans.
Following the episode, an insider contacted RadarOnline.com, revealing that the whole situation was likely a “set up” designed to make Judge look bad.
### Controversy Erupts at the Finale Dinner
As the season wrapped up during the finale dinner, things took a dark turn when homophobic and transphobic Instagram posts that cast member Gretchen Rossi had allegedly liked were brought to light. While many of the cast members quickly distanced themselves from Rossi, she maintained that she supports the LGBTQ+ community and claimed the posts must have been fake.
Tamra Judge, who has long been Rossi’s arch-nemesis, expressed concern about potential retaliation for exposing the posts.
### Mysterious Phone Call Fuels Drama
Towards the end of the episode, Gina Kirschenheiter, Shannon Beador, and Jennifer Pedranti received a phone call from a mysterious source during post-production. The caller, using a voice changer, accused Tamra Judge of leaking season details to bloggers and fan accounts throughout filming. They even named specific examples, citing scenes filmed in public settings as “proof” of these allegations.
### Insider Calls the Phone Call ‘Super Suspect’
Despite the shock the women appeared to feel on-screen, an insider insisted the call was a deliberate attempt to tarnish Judge’s reputation.
> “The entire phone call at the end of the episode of RHOC was a complete setup to try to make Tamra look bad to wrap the season and throw blame back in her direction,” the source explained.
> “The timing is super suspect that she says she’s worried about retaliation and suddenly, a few weeks later, a caller with a ‘ghost face’ like voice changer calls and says she was talking to bloggers and outing storylines.”
The insider also pointed out that the examples the caller mentioned involved scenes filmed outdoors, where anyone nearby could have seen parts of what was happening and potentially shared it publicly.
### Allegations Against Judge ‘Weren’t Even Bad’
According to the source, the accusations against Judge didn’t add up, especially since she wasn’t under as much scrutiny this season compared to other cast members.
> “Just as Gretchen and Katie [Ginella] are in the throes of scandals the entire season, both of whom have drama with Tamra at one point or another during the season, suddenly, as the season is FINISHED, there’s a FILMED phone call to try and out Tamra and make her look bad,” the insider noted.
Regarding the specifics of the call, the insider added:
> “It’s not like the caller said, ‘Oh Tamra’s been saying hateful things.’ This was just a ploy to try to make her look bad.”
The insider also disputed the claim that Judge had been leaking storylines, pointing out that almost none of the *RHOC* storylines appeared online before airing.
> “So if she was ‘outing’ these things to bloggers, where were they?” they questioned. “It just doesn’t add up and, as fans will see at the reunion, the plot to make her look bad falls, sadly for those who dislike her, flat.”
### What’s Next?
Viewers eager to see how the drama unfolds won’t want to miss the *Real Housewives of Orange County* reunion. The first part airs on November 6 at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
