It was a night to remember! BravoCon got off to a dramatic start in New York City — and the surprises just kept coming when the casts from every major franchise made an appearance at Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen Presents: Andy’s Legends BallFriday, October 14.

The earlier this year, Ultimate Girls TripCostars were the talk of the town during the RHONY alum, 58, announced Tamra’s return to Bravo after her 2020 exit. “Tamra’s coming back, and you know, my friend Vicki [Gunvalson]‘s not happy,” Jill said via an Instagram Live video in July. In response, the Vena CBD cofounder, 55, replied, “Go f–k yourself @JillZarin! You thirsty bitch!”
Jill, on her part, tried to clarify the matter that month. “I just have to straighten something out. This morning I was on my way to the event and I use the expression often, ‘breaking news,’ but it doesn’t mean that there’s anything breaking that wasn’t broken to me,” she explained on Instagram. “I had read online that Vicki was not coming back and Tamra was — and I said that. I just repeated the information I had read. I don’t have any inside information. Bravo does not talk to me. I know nothing. I just repeated the news that was already printed.”
She continued: “[Tamra] I’m so happy for you. You wanted this and I’m happy for you. Why is there animosity? Anyway, we’re going to have to straighten that one out but congratulations anyway, and only wish the best for everybody.”
While filming the special episode WWHL, Jill once again pointed out that Tamra’s return was already public information. Jill, however, was certain that the California native had intentionally made the news public before it happened.
“F–k yeah,” Tamra responded when asked whether Jill shared the information on purpose. “Did you not do it on an outlet that you got paid?”
The entrepreneur replied, “I have a subscription on Instagram … Who gives a s–t? I didn’t do it on purpose!”

“I was kind of like, ‘Where’s the Housewife?’” Vicki explained about the confusing run-in with Ashley. The former restaurant owner replied, “OK, this is case and point why this is a problem, Vicki. You were very dismissive, for no apparent reason. … The panel was called Housewife to Housewife! Why didn’t you ask who I was?”
