In a new interview, the Real Housewives of Orange County star candidly shared that she was \u201ctired\u201d of being labeled a toxic mother because of her dramatic arguments on TV. \u201cI know I\u2019ve had a temper, I know I\u2019ve said some bad things, but that doesn\u2019t make me a bad mother,\u201d Tamra said. \u201cThe show may make me out to be a villain, but in real life, it\u2019s different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tamra also couldn\u2019t hide her hurt when Simon Barney \u2014 her husband of more than a decade \u2014 brought up her family issues in public. \u201cIt hurt to hear him call me a toxic mom. We have kids together, and that kind of stuff affects the kids,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The 57-year-old star revealed that she had tried to stay silent for years to keep her children safe, but Simon\u2019s constant comments forced her to speak out. \u201cI tried to change everything. I went to therapy, learned how to control my emotions, tried to be a better mother,\u201d Tamra shared, emphasizing that her journey was not only to repair her public image but also to mend her family relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although the \u201cmost hated RHOC housewife\u201d label has followed her throughout the show, Tamra said she no longer cares about that reputation. \u201cIf people still want to call me the most hated person \u2014 that\u2019s fine. But I know who I am, and I\u2019m trying every day to be better, not just for the audience but for my children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And with the determined line \u201cI tried to change it all,\u201d Tamra Judge sends a strong message: sometimes the hardest thing is not changing other people\u2019s views, but proving to yourself that you deserve forgiveness and a chance to start over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
