“After everything that Gretchen has said about last night's episode, I feel I have to set the record straight," Tamra tells OKMagazine.com exclusively. "My feelings are extremely hurt at this point.

“She exaggerated the truth drastically to try and get out of going. I told her to take the part, that I would understand—I was trying to be the good friend.

"I called her bluff - then when she realized there was NO part she decided to go and tell me she gave up the part to be with me.

“Two days after we all went dress shopping she texted me to say what a great friend she is, and how she turned down a role on a sitcom just to be with me. Little did she know had already told me there was NO offer!

"She shows up in a red trench coat with nothing on underneath and her old engagement ring on! In cold, rainy weather! She's just dying for attention. It’s really sad.”
