Taylor Armstrong and Peggy Tanous hosted the Marisa Kenson, Macy's and Beach Bunny Swimwear fashion show presented by Fashion Destination Group on August 11, 2011.
Also in attendance were OC Housewives (past and present) Fernanda Rocha, Jeana Keough, Vicki Gunvalson, and Lynne Curtin.
The relationships between the former friends has been tense all season and finally came to a head on Sunday night's season finale. Tamra threw a cease and desist letter and a drink at Jeana, which started an all-out fight.
Jeana tells us exclusively that Tamra is just trying to one-up a dramatic Real Housewives of New Jersey star, "She's just trying to be another Teresa. She's just a sad person. I feel bad for the example she sets her children."
As for the wrap party, Jeana is disgusted by what happened -- and says it was not a spontaneous scene of drama.
"I was invited and paid to be there by Bravo but they wanted me to walk in a half hour after everyone else was already there and drinking, 'to make a bold entrance.' I tried to stay away from everybody but they dragged me into it anyway. Thank God I'm an athlete because they could have really hurt me when I was shoved into the bar like that!
"The whole scene was a total set up. Tamra was holding on to that letter for three hours before she threw it at me. And the second she started walking toward me, everyone started moving out from behind me because they knew what was coming -- plus she had the biggest glass of wine! I had like an inch of champagne in my glass."
But Jeana doesn't hold a grudge against Tamra and wishes her well, even after all the negativity. "She's doing a great job with the kids and I hope she has a happy life," she says.
The Real Housewives of Orange County finale was filled with pushing and drink-throwing and Andy Cohen says it only gets worse (or better depending how you look at it).
"Tamra was really pissed and it had gone on and on," Cohen told TVGuide.com at Monday night's Made in New York Awards. "You'll see at the reunion she was still upset and Jeana [Keough] is there too. It's a two-part reunion and it's quite explosive."
While the latter part of Sunday's episode featured the feud between former housewife Jeana and current cast member Tamra, a portion focused on Vicki filing for divorce from husband Donn. The Real Housewives of New York City's Jill Zarin says it's been hard for Vicki to watch her marriage fall apart on television.
"I spoke to Vicki today," Zarin said. "[She's feeling] pretty down. Donn's still living in the house, they're trying to settle their financial situation so it's difficult — it's been a rough time for her."
While there wasn't any table-flipping, things definitely got down and dirty on Sunday's season finale of Real Housewives of Orange County when Tamra Barney threw a glass of red wine (and a cease-and-desist letter) in frenemy Jeana Keough's face for badmouthing Tamra in the press.
And while Keough may have seemed like the bad guy for trash-talking Tamra's divorce to estranged ex Simon Barney, it's Tamra who is being blasted by fellow castmate Gretchen Rossi...
"It's very strange how the woman conducts her life," Rossi told us yesterday while promoting health supplement Thermogenic Push. "Tamra threw the letter in her face. Tamra threw the drink in her face but yet, two episodes earlier Tamra was crying to Jeana saying, 'You want my kids to think it's OK to throw something at somebody just because you're mad at them?' And I'm thinking to myself, 'How hypocritical is that?'
"You don't go to a party armed with a cease-and-desist letter," she continued. "To me, that's overly dramatic. That's looking for attention. That's looking for camera time. And to throw it in somebody's face when you're an adult like that just shows your level of class and immaturity..."
Meow! Doesn't sound like Rossi and Barney will be making up for their rocky relationship any time soon.
"Tamra is not somebody that I chose to have in my life," Rossi said. "She's negative energy for me in my life. I unfortunately, have realized that she's a malicious person with evil intentions and it's just not something that I want in my life."
"I don't think the way this went down was treated with class or dignity," says Donn, Vicki Gunvalson's estranged husband, of the reunion show for Real Housewives of Orange County's sixth season.
Between the screaming, the tears and the eye-rolling, there's going to be plenty of insults and accusations – all of which can be seen in a just-released, minute-long trailer for the upcoming episodes.
Tamra Barney, whose troubles with her ex and a new romance have been documented on the show, seems to be at the center of the storm.
"You were sleeping with another guy while your fiancé was dying," she says to Gretchen Rossi, who was engaged to the late Jeff Beitzel.
At one point in a clip of the show, which will air starting June 12 (9 p.m. ET) on Bravo, Tamra shrieks, "Is your ass jealous of the s–– that comes out of your mouth?"
She also accuses Jeana Keough of lying and gets into an argument with Gretchen's boyfriend, Slade Smiley, who accuses her of ... uh, promiscuous behavior.
"You're the lowest form of s–– in the world," Tamra says as she storms off the set.
It’s Gretchen’s Birthday and Slade has a very special surprise that leaves her speechless. Meanwhile Peggy and Tamra are excited to model in an OC Designer’s fashion show, but a surprise model throws Tamra for a loop: former housewife Jeana is back and participating in the show as well.
With old feuds and new alliances (Jeana now best friends with Tamra’s ex Simon), will Tamra keep her cool in front of Jeana? Find out this Sunday at 10/9c on the Real Housewives of Orange County.
