Tamra Judge, a housewife from The Real Housewives of Orange County, recently criticized Vicki Gunvalson's behavior on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip (RHUGT). Judge accused Gunvalson of recycling the "same material" for the past 20 years, implying that her actions have become repetitive and stale.

This criticism is not the first time Gunvalson has faced backlash on RHUGT. In the episode that aired in September 2026, Gunvalson revealed that she felt uncomfortable during the Alter Ego Group Party in Atlanta. Comedian Dustin Ross questioned why Gunvalson felt this way, saying, "She said she was uncomfortable. And that's what I want to focus on. Why the fk was she uncomfortable in Atlanta?" He then asked, "What was it about Black Atlanta where these Black women are in center stage running the show?"

Gunvalson's comments drew criticism from other housewives, including Teddi Mellencamp. On Two Ts in a Pod, Mellencamp called out Gunvalson's behavior, stating, "You make an effort, and you try to talk to them." Mellencamp also noted that Gunvalson did not mingle with the other housewives, saying, "Wasn't a good look."

Judge took issue with how Gunvalson handled herself on RHUGT, specifically noting that she left early and did not make an effort to communicate with the other housewives. When Judge brought up the topic, Mellencamp immediately replied, "Selfish." Judge continued to criticize Gunvalson's approach, saying, "Can we talk about that for a minute? She does that a million times on Orange County. She's done that for … 20 years," which is also mentioned in a post by Bye Wig Hello Drama on X. "And I'm just like, you need to get new material at this point. You're repeating and recycling the same old one-liners for 20 years."

The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th premiered on August 9, marking the fifth season of the franchise. The series features a cross-country road trip celebrating 20 years of The Real Housewives. The cast includes Lisa Barlow, Gizelle Bryant, Teresa Giudice, Luann de Lesseps, Kyle Richards, and Porsha Williams, along with Gunvalson.

Gunvalson's latest controversy raises questions about whether her behavior will impact future episodes of RHUGT. Will she be able to adapt and change her approach, or will her repetitive behavior continue to draw criticism from her peers?

As the drama surrounding Gunvalson continues to unfold, how this will affect her relationships with the other housewives. Will Tamra Judge's criticism mark a turning point for Gunvalson, or will she continue down the same path?

One thing is certain - Vicki Gunvalson's actions on RHUGT have sparked a heated debate among fans and fellow housewives alike. As the story continues to develop, if Gunvalson can redeem herself and prove that she has something new to offer.
