D Dipasupil/FilmMagicUPDATE: Vicki Gunvalson has responded to Tamra Judge's latest round of interviews.
"I'm disgusted by what Tamra has been saying repeatedly over the last few days in her press interviews and it's very clear that she can dish it out but not take it," Vicki told E! News exclusively. "I've learned my lesson with Tamra, and now see that for the last nine seasons our friendship has been a 'friendship' of convenience. Keep stirring the pot Tamra, you're only proving my point. With friends like you, who needs enemies?"

Tamra Judge is pretty much done with Vicki Gunvalson.
Just two weeks into a new season of the Real Housewives of Orange County, plenty of drama is surfacing when it comes to two of the cast members.
In regards to Tamra's friendship with the O.G. of the O.C., it's not exactly peaches and cream.
"I've given up on trying to keep her away from Brooks," Tamra confessed on SiriusXM's Dirty, Sexy, Funny with Jenny McCarthy. "I now think they're soul mates. They're a match made in heaven."
When Jenny McCarthy asked why Vicki is so interested in a man who lied about cancer records, Tamra had quite the theory.
"Or maybe she's just like him," she suggested. "When you hang out with dogs, you get fleas so maybe she needs a flea collar."
Fans of the Real Housewives of Orange County know that Tamra and Vicki have always had their ups and downs. And while the owner of CUT Fitness assured fans that she was willing to give her co-star a second chance this season, she can't believe Vicki would ever "want a douchebag."
"I took her back this year. I accepted her apology—well her half-ass apology—forgave the past and tried to move on only to get burned again," she explained. "She was behind my back with a machete this time. I'm burned. I said just one more thing and I'm done."
Tamra continued, "I think that she's caught up in the show. She doesn't even know what her reality is any more. When you create a story line, that's when it's time for you to go. So the O.G. may need to G.O." Zing!
While Vicki has yet to comment on Tamra's latest interview, E! News' Melanie Bromley recently asked the Bravo star about her current relationship with Tamra.
"I am emotionless about it. I mean, you can be friends with Tamra in one minute, and in one hour she can turn on you… She can talk crap about me for years but if I say one thing, she blasts me. So I am OK with it," she shared with E! News after claiming she hasn't seen Brooks in months. "I am actually quite emotionless about it." Something tells us this is only the beginning for a juicy new season.
