‘Real Housewives’ Star Tamra Barney Slams Tabloid: ‘They Are Already Spreading Rumors About Me’


The Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney is back and this season, fans will see a completely different version of her. Over the past couple of years, Barney has been instrumental in creating drama, including getting Gretchen Rossi very drunk, fighting with Brooks Ayers, and more recently, feuding with Vicki Gunvalson while on a cast trip.

Maybe this Real Housewives star felt she needed a change. She has revealed that she will share a huge journey on the new season of The Real Housewives of Orange County, including her finding religion. But not everyone is believing this.

According to a new Instagram post, The Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney is now responding to claims that she is faking her religious journey on this upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Orange County. According to her, it is very real and this season is very different from former Real Housewives seasons.

“Show hasn’t even started and they are already spreading rumors about me. Bless their broken hearts,” the Real Housewives star revealed on Instagram with a picture that read, “Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools and accepted by idiots.”

This was in response to a tabloid that claimed her religious journey was all for show. For her, this is very real. Apparently, her former Real Housewives co-star, Lydia McLaughlin, is taking credit for this change, according to Classicalite. Lydia was very religious and she hints that Tamra may have read her book, Beyond Orange County. But not everyone is supportive. In fact, according to the Inquisitr, this grandmother has been accused of faking storylines to keep her role on Real Housewives – whatever it takes.

“[Tamra Barney] says she’s found religion, but her ‘new leaf’ story line is completely fake,” one source has revealed, adding, “She thinks the audience is stupid and will believe whatever she says. It’s disgusting.”

In fact, her former Real Housewives co-stars are also questioning her dedication to religious. For years, Tamra filmed The Real Housewives of Orange County with Alexis Bellino, who often talked about her religion on the show. And Alexis doesn’t believe that this change is genuine.

“I cannot believe that, but more power to her. Soul saved. That’s what matters. Let’s just hope her actions stay with what a baptism really means,” this former Real Housewives star has said.

As for Barney, she claims that having a grandchild changed things for her. Fans will have to judge how they feel about this change.

What do you think of Tamra Barney’s reaction to rumors that she is faking her new religious ways for The Real Housewives of Orange County?
