Tamra Judge spoke out about deciding to exit 'RHOC' after a clip of her costars saying unkind things about her surfaced.

Judge shared the clip to her Instagram Story, writing, “God forbid you guys ever have to deal with the pain & depression I was dealing with.

Gretchen Rossi said Tamra Judge's Instagram Story post rubbed her 'the wrong way.'

Quickly after Judge shared her thoughts, Rossi took to her Instagram Story to insist she’d been “sent” the post and it rubbed her “the wrong way.”

“YES Tamra I have actually dealt with the pain & depression you are talking about & it was horrible,” Rossi began in a lengthy follow-up. “(Remember my fiancé actually died & Slade’s son actually died from cancer) but you had not one ounce of grace for us.”

Instead of having compassion, Judge “spun lies” about Rossi and “plotted with the guy (who I took to court and now have 7 counts against & over a million dollar judgement) to cause me pain & suffering during that time.”

Gretchen Rossi said Tamra Judge 'never gave' the other women on the show 'grace.'

“And then you went on your podcast & made false statements about Slade & I after his son died & spun lies about us again,” Rossi continued. “With no remorse for your actions… only excuses, like you always do.”

Rossi insisted Judge “never gave” the other women “grace,” including Beador when she was “going through the worst time in her life.”

“Instead, you buddied up to Alexis & called Shannon every name in the book last year,” she added. “So this is pretty rich coming from you.”

Tamra Judge was 'struggling' during this season of 'RHOC,' a source shared.

Judge has yet to respond to Rossi’s latest comments, but an insider who spoke to OK! recently insisted the RHOC women were “absolutely brutal” to Judge this season.

“Tamra was going through such a tough time with Teddi being sick,” they shared, referring to Judge’s close friend, Teddi Mellencamp, battling brain cancer.

“In what world would you see someone so clearly suffering emotionally and decide that’s the time to pile onto them?” they continued. “It makes no sense.”

Though she was “struggling,” the cast kept picking apart “every word she was saying.”

Tamra Judge's costars made her 'situation tougher,' an insider detailed.

“It totally makes sense why she picked up and took a beat and left,” they added. “Anyone in her situation would’ve done the same.”

The source noted the only person who was there for Judge was Heather Dubrow.

“When life is tough, you look to your friends to support you and build you up and help you, not bring you down… and unfortunately, no one at that table was doing anything but making her situation tougher,” they concluded.

In the wake of the episode, Judge admitted to mixing Xanax and alcohol, sharing it was a “painful time” for her and one she does not want to “relive.”
