"The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 9 reunion show taping recently wrapped up and insiders claim tensions reached new heights as costars came together to rehash old wounds.

"There was tons of fighting, and tears, which always equates to excellent ratings," explained the source.
Last week Judge, Dubrow, Beador, Vicki Gunvalson and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Rovsek filmed the reunion show at an undisclosed location and Judge was reportedly singled out for bad behavior by most of her costars.
This season viewers saw the mother of four at the center of drama, much of which stemmed from "email-gate."
Beador, who was crushed after receiving a devastating email from her husband David, confided in Judge about her marriage problems and Judge admittedly betrayed Beador by sharing details about the email to Dubrow.
"[The reunion was] full of emotion, and it was all aimed at Tamra Judge," one insider said.
"Heather Dubrow actually apologized to Shannon Beador for the way she was treated this season and for things that were said. In return, both ladies took their anger out on Tamra, accusing her of stirring up drama and being a disloyal friend who spreads gossip," the source added.
Like Dubrow and Beador, Gunvalson also had grievances with Judge relating to her blossoming romance with Brooks Ayers.
"Vicki Gunvalson was also very mad at Tamra for betraying her trust, and continuing her vendetta against then-boyfriend Brooks Ayers," the source explained.
"But Shannon really went off on Tamra for trying to make her look like a bad wife and mom," continued the source adding
Heather's plastic surgeon hubby, Terry "didn't want her to apologize to Shannon because he didn't feel she had done anything wrong," the insider said. "Shannon's husband, David, also went off on Tamra for making his wife so upset. It was very sweet in the way David defended Shannon, and he believes that Tamra is very unhappy in her own marriage to Eddie Judge."
Rovsek, who joined the show this season, also took the time to address issues she has with Judge and the pair ended filming on a bad note.
"Tamra and I are not on good terms. We just shot the reunion, it didnt end well," she recently told reunion host Andy Cohen.
Part 1 of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 9 reunion show airs August 25 on the Bravo TV network.
