The Tres Amigas are now down to two. Real Housewives of Orange County stars Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, and Vicki Gunvalson are no longer touring together for their Tres Amigas antics. Tamra ditched the show shortly after Shannon’s DUI arrest, which left Shannon and Vicki frustrated. They felt Tamra did not give them any notification or a valid reason as to why she left. Tamra claims she was very upfront about the matter. It’s not clear who to believe, but Teddi Mellencamp explained why Tamra’s story was the one that added up.
Teddi insists Tamra was “very upfront” with Shannon and Vicki about her decision to leave Tres Amigas
During Season 18, Episode 4, Vicki popped in to visit Shannon to catch up on Tres Amigas. They would now be the Dos Amigas. Shannon told Vicki that Tamra only had a short conversation with her about her decision to leave.
Vicki claimed “Tamra didn’t have the balls” to tell her or Shannon, but she was going to make the best of it. She likened her and Shannon to some of the greatest female duos of all time.
Shannon was also upset because she felt this would affect her bottom line. So they called up their manager to see if this would indeed leave their bank accounts a little lighter. Their manager told them there could be some fallout. This was not how you were supposed to conduct business.
Tamra didn’t feel it was right to do another show so soon after Shannon’s DUI arrest. Tamra had the receipts; she told their manager she didn’t want to do more shows, and she explained to him why.
Teddi is Team Tamra. The Two Ts In A Pod host met up with Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia Nepola to discuss the matter.
Teddi said, “First and foremost, Vicki and Shannon, can you know spin whatever narrative they want. But I know for a fact that Tam was very upfront with the women, and Paris, the rep. Shannon’s financials should not be Tamra’s issue. Tamra’s not somebody to be afraid to tell somebody no.”
Alexia responded, “Yeah, that didn’t seem true to me. You know, I just didn’t believe that after so many years of friendship and doing the tour and the whole thing, that she would just like step away and not have the conversation with them or let anybody know.”
Teddi explained that they only did “four shows” together. Teddi added, “Paris, the rep, he actually no longer works with Vicki and Shannon.” Alexia concluded, “Ok, you rest your case.”
Real Housewives of Orange County airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
