TAMRA BARNEY was the picture of happiness as she tied the knot for the third time, but the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star is still reeling from dark secrets that cloud her life.
The ENQUIRER learned that when the 45-year-old beauty was a teen mom battling depression, she gave up custody of her son Ryan Vieth for several years before getting him back.
AND when she was in her early 20s and divorced for the first time, she hit rock bottom – and tried to kill herself.
“I took a bunch of prescription medication that I found in my mom’s cupboard,” she revealed last October during a speech at a women’s conference.
“My mom found me...They admitted me into a mental hospital.”
Her son Ryan, now 27, has gone through his own turmoil and heartbreak.
