The Real Housewives of Orange County fights are legendary, and a new one has started after Alexis Bellino and her husband Jim slam Tamra Barney, saying they have been advised to take legal action over “completely false” statements she has made about them.
On the reunion show Alexis accused Tamra of having “multiple personalities” and Tamra yelled back “You are psychotic Jesus Jugs!”
In a statement released on Monday, Alexis and Jim slammed their co-star’s comments.
“The escalation of Tamra Barney’s attacks has reached the level that we have been advised to take legal action. To be clear, Tamra’s most recent statements are completely false. While her motivation may be to elevate herself by hurting others, the law does provide boundaries outside of which even she may be held liable. This vicious and malicious attack on our family will no longer be tolerated. We have continually tried to take the high road, however, if necessary, we are prepared to defend ourselves against these unfounded, slanderous and defamatory remarks to the fullest extent of the law.”
