Gretchen Rossi recently spoke with In Touch Magazine about what fans can expect out of the Real Housewives of Orange County season 6 two-part reunion.

“I didn’t even know I had it in me to fight like it did. It was pretty intense. You think New Jersey was crazy, you should see us at our reunion.”

Regarding her ongoing feud with Tamra Barney she said, “Tamara said some really harsh things about Slade this season and I wanted to address some of those issues. You really see the claws come out.”

See the OC Housewives battle it out on the Reunion Special beginning this Sunday night at 9:00PM on Bravo. Part two airs on Monday and a Lost Footage Special airs on June 20th.

Tamra Barney Fights Back Against Gretchen

Yesterday, I posted an interview that Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi did with E! News regarding the OC finale which took place last Sunday night. Today, Tamra Barney got wind of it and sent an email to Marc Malkin with her response.

"Gretchen's constantly bashing me in interviews is nothing more than a clever diversion, created so the attention is not on the three lawsuits in which she is currently involved and the problems with her [boyfriend Slade Smiley's] past-due child support," Barney wrote in the email. "She has NO knowledge of the issues I had with Jeana [Keough], yet she constantly finds reasons to talk about me in interviews, on the show and on her Bravo blogs."

"She is nothing more than obsessed with me," she wrote. "You would think with all her legal problems, she would use her time more wisely. I truly feel sorry for her and hope that she lets go of the anger she has in her heart as I did for Jeana Keough."

For more drama, be sure to tune in to the Real Housewives of Orange County two-part reunion special beginning this Sunday, June 12, at 10:00PM!

"Tamra Is Trying To Be Teresa," Says Jeana

"Tamra Barney is just trying to be another Teresa Giudice" says Jeana Keough in an exclusive interview with RumorFix about the explosive finale of Real Housewives of Orange County.

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.

Andy Cohen: RHOC Reunion Is 'Explosive'

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."

Gretchen Rossi Slams 'Malicious' Tamra Barney

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."
