Judge’s relationship with Beador deteriorated after a public dispute during the previous season’s reunion, leaving both women “on the outs.” The feud resurfaced when castmate Jennifer Pedanti relayed to Judge that Dubrow had been speaking negatively about her behind her back. Judge’s decision to avoid a direct confrontation at Dubrow’s “Heels and Hearts” party reflects a broader pattern of cautious navigation among the housewives, who frequently oscillate between conflict and reconciliation throughout the series.
