Tamera suffered a personal loss when her 18-year-old niece by marriage Alaina Housley was gunned down in the Borderline Bar and Grill shooting in Thousand Oaks, California, in November. She took two weeks off for bereavement leave.
Jeannie and Adrienne were quick to notice that ratings for the show improved by 13 percent the week the Tamera was gone and the show saw its highest growth in more than a year. The source said: ‘Of the four hosts, Tamera has the highest salary. And while she was gone from the show, the ratings jumped. ‘Both girls kept saying, “How’s she making the most money and the show is doing better without her being here?” That gave them the leverage they needed to justify their ask for more money.’
The three co-hosts were also upset that during Tamera’s absence, her husband Adam Housley gave an exclusive interview to CBS News about his niece’s death, instead of appearing on his wife’s show. ‘So while they had to read a text message that Tamera sent them on air, her husband is off talking to news cameras about what went down. He couldn’t find the time to come talk to the show that employs his wife?
That move of Adam who was unemployed at the time added tension between her co-hosts as there was no other logical reason for him not to come on their show.
Viewing Tamer’as social media feed, there are no signs of her ever being sick in recent weeks. It appears Tamera is doing just fine–less than 24 hours ago she posted a picture of her and Adam enjoying date night. The ladies may just be saving face on their perspective Instagram accounts they like each other’s pictures, with Adrienne liking this one.

Tamera showed up to the NCAAP Awards this past weekend again, (not sick) but skipped work

Tamera added this subliminal post (that none of her “liking” co-host liked) that would also lead you to believe that there is in-fact truth to her skipping work due to tensions with her co-hosts:

The Daily Mail reached out to The Real and they declined to comment. Hopefully, these ladies will work out their differences and Adrienne and Jeannie will get an increase in their salaries.
