RHONJ’s Jennifer Aydin Fires Back at Tamra Judge Over Emotional Reaction: “How Bout Stop Being Mean?”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Jennifer Aydin slammed Tamra Judge’s crying video reaction to Vicki Gunvalson’s recent claims about her daughter Sidney. Jennifer called the video “ironic,” and she said Tamra can’t “go after people” and “not expect them to retaliate.”

Earlier this month, Vicki claimed that Sidney would be willing to reconcile with Tamra if she quit Real Housewives of Orange County. Tamra then accused Vicki of kicking her while she was down and told her former friend to leave her family alone.

On the latest season of the show, Tamra has been called out by fans for allegedly exploiting her friend Shannon Beador’s DUI arrest. She’s repeatedly suggested that Shannon is an alcoholic, and Tamra has no sympathy for her.

As for Jennifer, Tamra’s been feuding with her for a while now – she recently called her “evil.”



On X, formerly known as Twitter, Jennifer reacted to Tamra’s crying video.

“This is sad & ironic at the same [time],” Jennifer wrote on September 6. “You can’t go after people the way she does & then not expect people to retaliate.”

“People will take what they think your weakness is and hit you where it hurts. She should know this [best],” Jennifer added. “How bout stop being mean?”

Earlier this week, Tamra reacted to Vicki’s comments about Sidney.



“I’ve tried so hard not to listen to what Vicki had said about me, and I just keep getting bombarded with it!” she shared in an Instagram video. “I’m in just disbelief, in such disbelief, that this woman would go so low.”

“Do you know what it’s like to lose a child?” she went on. “It’s the most painful thing in the world. And to insinuate it was because I was on this show — no! That’s not what it is! You win, Vicki! I don’t know what you want from me, but you got it! … You kick me when I’m down. You hurt me all the time. I can’t do it anymore. I don’t want any part of this … Just please leave my family alone!”

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Thursday nights on Bravo.
