Jan. 15 2010, Published 10:05 a.m. ET
The Real Housewives of Orange County's Tamra Barney denied cheating on her husband Simon during Bravo's Watch What Happens Live Thursday night , as the blonde stunner broke her silence on the details surrounding her pending divorce.
In response to Simon’s January 6 court paper claims that Tamra “has been verbally abusive and has committed acts of disloyalty and adultery,” Barney said, "No, I do not cheat on my husband."
Barney -- who said she had been mum to avoid making "this a public issue" or media "circus" -- told Bravo she believed Simon accused her of cheating because he knew with her celebrity status, the story would spread like wildfire.
Tamra said that after a New Year's Eve fight between her and Simon, she decided to leave her hostile household on a "trial separation" basis. The blond beauty said she "had to leave," as she couldn't continue living in 2010 the way she did in 2009.
