Earlier, the news was confirmed that Tamra, 54, is recurring to the cast of the 17th season of RHOC after her stint on Ultimate Girls Trip.
However, earlier in the day, Jill broke the news in a since-deleted live stream that Tamra would be returning.
“…And Tamra comes back and my friend Vicki isn’t happy,” Jill said.
Vicki Gunvalson is Tamra’s former rival and castmate.
However, Tamra wasn’t happy that Jill had leaked her big announcement.
Tamra posted a message to her followers on Twitter with the caption, “I have an announcement.”
Tamra walked through her kitchen in black and spoke to her followers, saying, “Hey guys! I have a big announcement.”
With a short pause, Tamra leaned into the camera and said, “Jill is the thirstiest bitch I’ve ever met.”
Later, Jill came out with her own slap back.
Jill posted a video of her car and next to her daughter on Instagram, clarifying a few things about the feud.
She began: “I just need to get some things straight. This morning I was on my way to an event – and I use the expression ‘breaking news’ a lot, but that doesn’t mean something breaks that hasn’t broken me.”
Jill picked it up again: “I read online that Vicki wasn’t coming back and Tamra was, and I said so. I was just repeating what I had read.”
She revealed: “I have no inside information. Nobody talks to me at Bravo. I know absolutely nothing. I was just repeating the news that was already in print.”
The former RHONY star wondered: “So I don’t know why Tamra attacked me today and called me a ‘thirsty b***h’. Thirsty of what?”
She went on to explain, “You wanted this and I’m so happy for you. Why is there animosity? We’ll have to rectify that.”
Jill then signed off saying, “Congratulations, anyway.”
‘SO DESPERATE’
Fans reacted in the comments to Jill’s video.
One posted: “Tamra’s response was thirstier than your comment, which wasn’t news after all.”
A second defended Jill, saying, “Jill didn’t tell this news, everyone says it before!”
Another third objected, “You were so desperate to get Tamra’s news. Why drop the announcement for Bravo or even her?”
“Tamra is the thirsty one. She’s eager to get back on the show,” claimed another.
REALLY BACK!
After former housewives Noella Bergener and dr. Jen Armstrong announced they would do that don’t return to RHOC for the following season, news of Tamra’s return was released.
An insider told Page six: “Tamra is excited to come back to the show, especially after feeling the love of the fans from her stint on ‘Ultimate Girls Trip.
“She can’t wait to get back into the mix at RHOC and see how she can shake up the dynamics.”
A second source close to Tamra also told the outlet that the next episode of the reality show will “revolve around Tamra”.
