Tamra Barney Responds To Gretchen Rossi Calling Her A “Sociopath”


Tamra Barney has gotten word of Gretchen Rossi’s Watch What Happens Live comments and taken to Twitter to express her thoughts.

Last night, as The Inquisitr reported, Rossi, along with her fiancé Slade Smiley, appeared on Andy Cohen’s late night show, where Rossi discussed her thoughts on Barney. After hearing what Rossi had to say, Barney vented online.

Following a re-tweet from Popdust, which read, “#GretchenRossi shows ONCE AGAIN she is ONLY relevant when bashing @TamraBarney,” and included the hash tag, “Get a job,” Barney told the site, “You nailed that one. Let’s pray for her. It’s time to move on to something positive.”

Then, when a fan tweeted to Barney asking her why Rossi was on the show, Barney said, “Clearly to talk about me.”

On The Real Housewives of Orange County, Tamra Barney and Gretchen Rossi had their ups and downs. While the two started off on the wrong foot when Rossi joined the cast during season four, they eventually made nice and became friends. However, their friendship was short-lived, lasting no more than about two seasons.

“The thing is that Tamra Barney has lost all credibility with everybody, including the viewers,” Rossi told Cohen during the Watch What Happens Live episode, according to an Oct. 15 report by Us Weekly. “She’s the biggest lying, manipulating, conniving, narcissistic sociopath. And I say she’s a sociopath because sociopaths don’t even realize that they do any wrong. All they do is blame everyone else for their mistakes, and that’s all she continues to do.”

Later in the episode, Cohen asked Rossi to name some good qualities in Tamra Barney. “She lies really good. She manipulates really well,” Rossi replied. “She lies and tells everyone she is doing it just for the show.”

Overall, Rossi believes Barney isn’t great for the series. Instead, she feels she’d be better fit, since she’s “real.”

“I think that hurts the franchise. Because when I was on the show, I was real, I was really me,” Rossi said. “I wasn’t playing a character, and I wasn’t doing anything to make good TV.”

Rossi appeared on the show from Season 4 until Season 8, at which point Alexis Bellino also left the series. The pair, who started off as friends and ended their reality run as enemies, were replaced by Lizzie Rovsek and Shannon Beador on Season 9.

According to The Inquistr, Tamra Barney will return to The Real Housewives of Orange County for Season 1o in 2015.
