- Tamra Barney shares her thoughts on the reunion special!
I would like to address my ignorant comment I made on last week’s episode. I want to apologize to anyone I offended. I wish so badly that I could take it back. I of all people have nothing against the gay community and support gay rights 100%. It was not the word I was searching for and not a word I use or condone. I am highly embarrassed and ashamed.
On to the reunion show!
What a relief this season is over, to me it was the season from hell. Many people didn't understand why I had issues with Gretchen. Contrary to what the producers portrayed, and people think, it had nothing to do with jealousy. She is a pretty girl, but there was nothing there for me to be envious of. I'm in a different place in my life, I am most proud of my children, husband, and the life we have. These are the things I hold most dear to my heart.

Simon is a very controlling husband! He should be proud that you are so beautiful and stop harrassing you about wearing clothes that "a twenty year old would wear". As we housewives reach forty and our children are no longer as needy, it is only natural to want to have a little more freedom away from the house. He should not only respect that completely natural need in you, his wife, but should also embrace it. It makes us "housewives" happier and we bring that happiness home to the family!

okay i just have to say i watched all the seasons back to back and holy crap! your like the spawn of satan or somethin!! god i wish your husband was still with you and someone called gretchen in the middle of the night with some BS story about you.. you need to learn compassion and not be such a close minded bimbo.. seriously put yourself in someone elses shoes for a change.. you would never expect anyone to believe that shit about you so why do you assume this jay guy who called you would tell you the truth? you trust him more then someone you've known for over a year.. god your a disgusting person.. the offical reason why i hate this show now thanx

Tamra, I was so happy when you joined the cast and absolutely love you! I am sad to hear about your marriage. You are the hottest housewife and a very strong woman. I know you will make it through this trying time.

Tamra... I'm a big believer make your marriage work but in your case when you could rewind and fast forward to see who is wrong or right it still show Simon being controlling and not considerate this is not healthy for no one and especially in front of kids. Your best bet is to find someone to love you and accept you for who you are not what he would like for you to be. Girl you Hot and you Still Got It Going On!!! So keep your head up and focus on the most important thing of all being a Mom to your children everything else will fall in place.

ok so i absolutely love the show! I just finished watching the reunion show of season 4, and all I can say is WOW!!! The feud between Gretchen and Tamra is ridiculous. Tamra, if you were honest with yourself you would probably have to admit you felt threatened by Gretchen. She's young and beautiful, but you're young and beautiful too! Just because you're 41 doesn't mean a thing, you're only as young as you feel. Ladies bury the hatchet, life is too short to be bickering about meaningless crap! I love all of you and I wish nothing but the best for each and everyone of you.
Tamra, one word of advice from a kid whose been through many of her dads divorces, keep the kids away from all the turmoil. All they need to know is mommy and daddy love them very much no matter what!

I don't know where to begin. I used to like you, Tamra, but watching your struggle in your relationship ( tv style ) is painful.
Simon is very threatened by anything that is out of his control. He does not like his world to be disturbed,especially when he can't call the shots.
On tv, we saw it with your oldest son, and we see it with any person, mostly women, who have a brain. I believe that as a woman, you need to know where your loyalties lie. Sometimes, it seems like you don't know which way is up and you flow with whatever someone else says, a bit wishy washy.
You say that have people'[s back, but you don't. You always come back to Simon. He is a tool! On several episodes this season, he says that he"let's you" do this "let's you do that" and he doesn't say anything about it. He says that his friends' say that you (tamra) are lucky that he is soooo patient and has stayed around this long. Ayone else would have left. He is not all that and a BAG OF CHIPS.
