Jeana Keough, one of the original cast members of The Real Housewives of Orange County, isn’t taking her recent beat down lying down.

After scuffling with Tamra Barney on a recently taped episode for the new installment of the hit Bravo reality TV show, Jeana sought out the advice of the authorities and is now looking into legal options, she told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

“It’s not alright to bite, hit, or spit on anyone. It’s not alright to be abusive,” Jeana said. “It’s not okay to assault someone. You keep your hands to yourself. Words are nothing. You have to know you can’t take physical action.”

Jeana recently met with her neighborhood Orange County Sheriff’s representative to explain the incident that occurred Saturday and what legal remedies she could take.

“I’m not going to file a police report. There are so many other options. Her attorney needs to talk to mine. She has some explaining to do.”

At the finale get-together for season 6 at Vicki Ginvalson’s house, Tamra was apparently furious that Jeana had been giving interviews about her – interviews she has told people are wildly inaccurate – and had her lawyer wrote a cease and desist letter to Jeana. When Tamra attempted to give the letter to Jeana at the party, the situation turned physical and wine was thrown everywhere, RadarOnline.com learned exclusively from eyewitnesses.

“It’s assault when you throw alcohol in someone’s face and you push them when their back is turned to leave the party,” Jeana said. “It was premeditated because I thought she was mad at her boyfriend and it was me!”

“They [Sheriffs] told me I really had to think about it. What’s really the good that can come of it? They basically said your safety is not an issue. You’re protected here,” Jeana added. “Yes, she assaulted you, but is it worth it? They told me I don’t need a police report, but because there are so many hours of film, an attorney can just subpoena the film.”

So what options is she considering? “That’s for the attorneys to figure out,” she said.

Right now Jeana is seeking the advice of an attorney.

“Absolutely, I’m considering taking further legal action.

“I’m exploring my options and waiting to see what the production company does. They need to call and make apologies,” said Jeana, who added that she also sought medical attention on Monday as a result of the wine in her eyes and the same day Tamra sent her an “unacceptable” apology. “I don’t want the footage to see the light of day. I was humiliated.”

“I absolutely got set up! That’s why they wouldn’t let me at the party until two and a half hours after it already started,” she said.

“For whatever reason her friends attacked me. I don’t know who pushed me first, they pushed me right into a stone bar. I never touched anyone and none of my friends did.

“People could have been seriously hurt.”

Funny, now Jeana thinks this is assault. When Tamra was struggling with issues with her husband she thought is was wrong to get the police involved. Jeana is such an idiot!

Didn't Jeana try to push Tamara into the pool FIRST? THAT is ASSAULT as well. As for Jeana being classy... classy and Jeana don't mix. She's a former Playboy model after all and let's face it, the vast majority of them are trashy.

I hope Jeana has grounds for legal action and takes Tamra down. Oh, and by the way, Tamra is sooo not the "hottest housewife. Needs to get over her delusional ego, hottness is more than her fake boobs and ugly personality.

Tamra is and always has been WHITE TRASH. She has zero class. Hopefully, Jeana and her lawyers will teach her a lesson.

Actually, this is not true. Jeana was on Thintervention on Bravo, with the trainer Jackie Warner and she lost a lot of weight and looks good (People Mag), PLUS her time is not done, Jeana in polls is one of the favorites on OC. Try again imarie.

"It’s not alright to bite, hit, or spit on anyone." " It’s not alright to be abusive,”. “It’s not okay to assault someone. You keep your hands to yourself." It's unbelievable to me that so many ppl need this to be explained to them.

I'm sure that all of this started with Tamra. It ALWAYS does. She is trailor trash. Plain & simple. Jeanna has always been a class act.

Jeana you are a classy lady Tamra on the other hand is a skank & a backstabber & she is always instigating crap. Her soon to be ex was always trying to reign her in. You were definitely set up that is what they hoped for more Drama
