Another day, another story of financial woes from our Real Housewives. This time, it’s Tamra Barney’s husband Simon Barney, who is being sued by American First Credit Union for over $24,000 on his 1989 Ferrari.
Next up is more details from Lynne Curtin, who made TMZ last week when her landlord served her with an eviction notice. The OC Register has now learned that this would be the second home the Curtins have been evicted from; the other is the empty Capistrano Beach apartment that we saw on season 4 of Real Housewives of Orange County. As for the current eviction from their Laguna Beach house, the documents for that particular case are sealed.
[Edit: A peek at the Orange County courts website reveals that the Barneys have settled their collections case with the credit union a few weeks ago. ]

Tamra and Simon Barney need to downgrade. Move to a cheaper neighborhood even if it means moving out of the oc, stop buying rolexs and ferrari’s and start college education funds for your children. they just don’t have their priorities together. At least Vicki Gunvalson and Jeana Keough had her kids in college. Tamra should of had Ryan the loser in community college at the very least. Her children’s futures should of been more important than living a lifestyle she clearly could not afford.

Can’t even buy a home, evicted and they buy that spoiled kid a BMW? Unreal. Spend, spend on designer jeans? Is that a joke or for TV only? Sheese

Tamra has the audacity to call out Gretchen on being the whore of OC? As IF she isn’t a slutty loser with that cheezy hair. Ugh

Instead of buying Rolex watches,jewelry, plastic surgery,etc., Tamra should have been behaving more responsibly as an adult. She should set a better example for Ryan. She complains about him, however she and Simon are guilty of the same careless behavior. Simon should have saved their money before it was too late. This is what happens when you try to keep up with the neighborhood. Did these two ever hear the expression “less is best?” Less is definitely best in their situation. Tamra should pawn all her trinkets, as this point.

Lynn should get her act together. Get out of the gym and get yourself and your daughters a real job. Lynn’s priorities are those of a teenager. She needs to prepare her daughters for a future. Doesn’t she realize that looks aren’t going to help a person. Nosejobs, boob jobs, etc. are a dime a dozen. After you put your future together, then you can indulge in these luxuries. Whether or not her daughter had a bump on her nose wasn’t as important as the real issues. Lynn probably is too immature to face her real problems.

did anyone see tamra barney on the george lopez show? she was so drunk. she had the shortest dress on and kept spreading her legs so everyone could see her hooch. she was even still trashing Gretchen. the girl just can’t give up her obsessive jealousy. I don’t blame Simon for being embarassed by her. I was embarassed for her. What a skanky loser. She was so drunk on George Lopez she couldn’t even talk straight. she tried to say “later” and said “labor” she wouldn’t take the drink out of her hands. she needs to go to AA and stop tannning. Can her face get any more leathery?

I must say I cannot STAND Vicki. She is SO ugly. All that black crap around her eyes, that straight, stringy, bleached-blonde hair, the saggy skin on her face, her 1960s white lipstick, her short short dresses. She’s close to 50 and she’s trying to look like some teenaged hooker. Well, it “ain’t” workin’. She thought the Italian men would be ga-ga over her and she was surprised when they were not. Duh! And she is such a sanctimonious woman. “Oh look at me. I am such a hard worker. Blah, blah, blah.” She seems to look her nose down at the other wives, but she doesn’t seem to realize that they are SO low that anyone could look down on them. I don’t know how anyone can tolerate Vicki. An actual acquaintance or a TV viewer.
And Vickie claims that Brianna was in a nursing program that took SEVEN years to become a nurse (BSN), but that Brianna did it in three years. What nursing program takes SEVEN years? None that I know of. Another exaggeration of Vicki’s.

LOSERS, sorry no sympathy from me.
they are not responsible. Well I got an extra job, sold my car, had a garage sale, went on strict shopping FAST, nothing except needs,food, utilities, etc..plane old fashioned doing without
PLUS I never had the debt to begin with because, I never lived beyond my means..so when everything tanked I was able to stay afloat.

[...] appears to be unrelated to Lynne’s previous two evictions earlier this year, one of which we’ll get to see in an upcoming episode of Real [...]

An FB friend who is friends with Tamra posted a link to this on the friend’s wall. Apparently Tamra commented and said that this was taken care of. And honestly, I don’t think Tamra is concerned with Gretchen right now. She hasn’t said anything on her publicly in quite some time.

It looks like the house may have been sold: the listing now says it went “off the market.”

Nothing in housewives land stays secret for long, so we’ll see what happens.

RHJunkie, I see you’re trying to bring a voice of reason to this thread. I’m surprised no one has accused you of being Tamra yet.
I find the judgement railed at the Barneys to be hilarious in how it’s never-ending. They settled their collections suit and are attempting to sell their house rather than let it get foreclosed on (or get evicted twice in a few months a la the Curtins. Even Saint Jeana admitted to not paying the mortgage on her multiple houses in order to get loan modifications and no one is vilifying her for not paying her bills). Orange County has a TON of foreclosures, the Barneys are hardly alone in living beyond their means.
Anyway, am I going to have to do a Chris Crocker video here? LEAVE TAMRA ALONE! I kid, I kid! :)

Been drinking Kool-Aid mixed with tequila. You know, to get “naked wasted!”
Relax, you guys. Everyone knows the only housewives with real money are in NYC or got it through their man-candy.
If you go to the OC courts website and search for the barney civil case, you’ll see that the case was settled. I don’t have “compassion” for the Barney’s financial situation, I’m just saying that most of these ladies appear to be victims of pretending to be something they’re not. I know everyone hates Tamra, but to single her out when the majority of the housewives are in the same situation is just silly.
