Tamra packs for fashion show
During The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 episode 9, Tamra is seen packing her things for a trip to Sonoma.
The RHOC ladies aren’t on the best terms this season. They’re not at RHONJ levels of feuding, but they did all go on separate girls’ trips this year – which says a lot.
As Tamra is packing for her vacation, her daughter, Sophia, asks what she’s getting her luggage together for.

Tamra explains she’s headed for a fashion show, and jokes: “With my graceful walk…”
Sophia responds by poking fun at her mom: “A fashion show? And your five-two stature…”
RHOC’s OG Tamra replies: “Easy now, there’s nothing I can do… don’t short shame me.”
Sophia cuts mom’s height short
As Tamra jokes about her “gracious walk,” and Sophia joins in “fun-shading” her mom, it turns out she actually took around an inch off her height.
Five years back, Tamra took to social media to share her height and weight with curious fans, reports Bravo.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star shared how her regime at one time included training for two hours a day, five times a week in the gym.
She also said she stands at around 5 foot 3 and weighed, on average, around 117 lbs.
Despite Sophia’s absence from RHOC for many years, Tamra exclusively tells People how the two have a “bond” fans “haven’t seen.”
She calls Sophia her “best friend,” adding: “…I think a lot of people wouldn’t understand…” due to her daughter’s reality TV hiatus.
Tamra has also been one to point out her “shortness” in the past as she shared a photo on Facebook of herself posing with RHOA’s Cynthia Bailey and RHONY’s Kristen Taekman.
She captioned the pic: “I’ve never felt SO short in my life. Wait, I am short… Cynthia Bailey & Kristen Taekman are the sweetest Housewives and TALL.”
