According to the grainy clip, which quickly spread across fan accounts late Friday night, Tamra can be seen slurring her words and stumbling across a New Orleans hotel suite, clutching a champagne flute before suddenly lunging toward Heather Dubrow, 56.
Gasps erupt from fellow cast members as Heather can be heard yelling “Get off me!” while several Housewives — including Shannon Beador and Gina Kirschenheiter — appear to scream in shock. At one point, a frantic crew member can be seen gesturing for cameras to cut, while another shouts for security.
“It was chaos — no one knew if it was going to turn violent. Heather looked absolutely terrified,” an insider claimed exclusively to DailyMail.com. “Producers were screaming at each other about whether to keep rolling. It was one of those moments that made everyone question if this had gone too far.”
The leaked video, believed to have been taken from Bravo’s own raw footage, allegedly shows Tamra being restrained by two crew members as she continues shouting incoherently. One castmate can be heard crying off-camera, while others huddle in a corner.
Heather, visibly shaken, is said to have left the room immediately after the incident. Sources claim she refused to continue filming that night and demanded to speak directly with Bravo executives.
“Heather felt attacked and blindsided,” another insider explained. “She and Tamra may argue, but this crossed a line — she said it was no longer Housewives drama, it was real life danger.”
The explosive footage comes just days after Tamra herself admitted on Lala Kent’s podcast that she had been mixing Xanax with alcohol during filming and often threatened to quit the show when overwhelmed. Fans now fear the situation may have escalated far beyond what Bravo should have allowed.
Online reaction has been swift and brutal. “This isn’t entertainment, it’s exploitation,” one fan raged on Twitter. Another wrote: “That video was disturbing. Tamra needs help, not cameras in her face.” Memes mocking the chaos, with captions like “Xanax Hulk” and “When Housewives goes full Jerry Springer”, quickly went viral.
Bravo has not yet commented on the leaked video, though insiders suggest the network is in crisis talks about how to handle the fallout. Some cast members are allegedly refusing to film with Tamra until the situation is addressed.
As the controversy deepens, one question dominates the RHOC fandom: should Tamra Judge be fired for crossing the line — or will Bravo turn her breakdown into its most controversial storyline yet?
