Vicki Gunvalson still has hope for her friendship with Tamra Judge following their public fallout two months ago.
“We’ll be friends. We actually just filmed a couple of nights ago, and she tells me she loves me,” Gunvalson told Page Six at DIRECTV’s exclusive Oscars 2024 viewing party hosted by Rob Lowe at Spago in Los Angeles Sunday.
“I don’t think we ever had a verbal falling out,” she pointed out, revealing that Judge, 56, told her she took a step back from their friendship because she was “hurt.”

“I think that time will tell if it’s real or not,” she continued.
However, Gunvalson suggested that their friendship was put on “pause” after the third member of their Tres Amigas group, Shannon Beador, was arrested for DUI last September.
The “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum described the Tres Amigas –– which also includes Shannon Beador –– feud as more of a “pause” than a breakup. Instagram Judge, Beador and Gunvalson were performing comedy shows together before the former quit. tresamigasoc/InstagramGunvalson explained that Judge did not want to “condone drinking” on their live shows. And despite agreeing to “change the words” to one of their songs, which talks about drinking and says “Pour some tequila,” Judge still quit.
“I’ve never condoned drinking and driving,” Gunvalson clarified, adding, “I just would never do that to my group. You’re a group, you’re a friend, you back each other, you do the right thing, you show up when you have a show planned.”
Since then, Beador and Gunvalson have been forced to “redo the show” with “all new music” before hitting the road again this week.
“I think she might have a little bit of FOMO,” Gunvalson said of Judge not being there for her and Beador’s new shows. Instagram Gunvalson admitted it will feel “different” to not have Judge at the shows. vickigunvalson/Instagram“We’ve got a lot still in the mix. It’s unfortunate that Tamra decided to pause herself. We’ll see what happens. As the shows go on, I think she might have a little bit of [fear of missing out],” she continued.
The Coto Insurance founder explained that she and Beador, 59, have since come to terms with Judge’s decision and learned to “move on without her.”
“If someone doesn’t want to do something, we move on, but it’s definitely going to be different without her on, and we’ve always been the Tres Amigas, so now it’s like Dos Amigas,” she said with a laugh.
The OG of the OC insinuated that Judge had a hard time being there for Beador after the latter got arrested for DUI in September. Instagram “I just feel like we had a commitment as a group, so it’s kinda like the band breaking up,” Gunvalson added. vickigunvalson/InstagramGunvalson also touched on Beador’s arrest, saying that the latter “made a mistake” and people “have to be able to move on from it.”
“I think that for Tamra, it was a little too soon –– right or wrong –– and I just feel like we had a commitment as a group, so it’s kinda like the band breaking up,” she added.
And although she doesn’t support Beador’s decision to drink and drive, she told us she did her best to “not turn my back” on her.
Gunvalson said that she tried her best to support Beador after her DUI. Getty Images “I don’t condone it, but she’s taking accountability for it and moving on,” Gunvalson told us. tresamigasoc/Instagram“I have to be there because I would want them to be there for me if something, God forbid, happened,” she said.
“It was an accident, she totally messed up, and I don’t condone it, but she’s taking accountability for it and moving on.”
