Later, Jill came out with her own clap back.
Jill posted a video from her car and alongside her daughter on Instagram, clearing up a few things about the feud.
She began: "I just have to straighten some things out. This morning I was on my way to an event - and I use the expression often 'breaking news,' but that doesn't mean there's anything breaking that wasn't broken to me."
Jill picked back up: "I had read online that Vicki was not coming back and Tamra was, and I said that. I just repeated what I had read."
She disclosed: "I don't have any insider information. Nobody talks to me at Bravo. I know absolutely nothing. I just repeated the news that was already printed."
The former RHONY star wondered: "So, I don't know why Tamra attacked me today calling me a 'thirsty b***h.' Thirsty about what?"
She continued to explain: "You wanted this and I'm so happy for you. Why is there any animosity? We're going to have to straighten that one out."
Jill then signed off as she said: "Congratulations, anyway."
'SO DESPERATE'
Fans reacted in the comments of Jill's video.
One posted: "Tamra's reaction was thirstier than you making the comment which wasn't breaking news anyway."
A second defended Jill and said: "Jill did not break this news, everyone say it before!"
Yet a third countered: "You breaking Tamra's news was so desperate. Why would you drop the announcement before Bravo or even her?"
"Tamra is the thirsty one. She's been dying to get back on the show," another claimed.
REAL-LY BACK!
After former Housewives Noella Bergener and Dr. Jen Armstrong announced they would not be returning to RHOC for the next season, news of Tamra's return was released.
An insider told : “Tamra is thrilled to come back to the show, especially after feeling the fan love from her stint on ‘Ultimate Girls Trip.
“She can’t wait to get back in the mix on RHOC and see how she can shake up the dynamic.”
A second source close to Tamra also told the outlet that the next installment of the reality show will "revolve around Tamra."
Tamra was fired from the Bravo series in 2020 after 12 years.
Tamra recently slammed the series as “inauthentic” and “unbelievable” despite describing her firing from the show as “like a death” in a heartbreaking Instagram live.
RHOC SHAKEUP
News of Tamra's possible return comes shortly after two cast mates shockingly announced they were leaving the show.
Noella, 36, shared on her Instagram Story: "After a wild season of ups and downs, I will not be returning to the Real Housewives of Orange County."
She also thanked fans for "all the love during quite possibly the hardest year of my life."
Noella concluded: "I look forward to brighter skies ahead, and can't wait to share what's next."
Dr. Jen also post on : "I loved opening up about being a working mom on Real Housewives of Orange County. I am so grateful to have had the privilege to talk about my father, my kids, and a real modern relationship on national television.
"My family and my work are the most important aspects of my life, so I am stepping away from RHOC and focusing on them."
Jen and Ryne Holliday- who are now separated- share three kids: twins Vera and Vince, 10, and sons Robert, nine.
The TV star added: "Thank you to everyone who has reached out in support- especially from the working moms. Women can really have it all if you work for it...
"I am forever grateful for the friends I made, and the lovely people at Bravo and Evolution media. Here’s to the next chapter, and I hope you’ll follow along for the journey."
"There are so many exciting things to come, so stay tuned," she concluded.
'WE'LL MISS YOU'
Fans were quick to react to Jen's post as one wrote: "Will miss you on the show! Thank you for opening your life to us."
Another added: "I wish you nothing but the best. It’s time for you to living your life..."
Viewers also shared messages on Noella's latest social media post and wrote: "We'll miss you!"
