Season 18 of Real Housewives of Orange County hasn’t been a smooth ride for Shannon Beador. Her former friend, Tamra Judge, has relentlessly hammered Shannon over her DUI and potentially having a drinking problem. Plus, Tamra is buddying up with Alexis Bellino, who is dating Shannon’s ex-boyfriend, John Janssen. And, to put the icing on the cake, John is suing her for $75,000. She claims the money was a gift, while he maintains it was a loan.
Will Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador continue to bicker?
During the most recent episode of RHOC, Tamra met with Shannon. First, Tamra stated that Shannon should have contacted Tamra first. “Wow, okay, after the way you spoke to me at the dinner? You have been doing nothing but defaming me,” Shannon responded.
Of course, Tamra hit back, claiming that she doesn’t “say things that are not true.” The ladies bickered back and forth. Shocking, I know. Then Shannon accused Tamra of saying that Shannon was drunk all the time.
“You know nothing about me,” Shannon stated. But Tamra begged to differ. She said that she has known Shannon for a decade, so she knows her well. Still, Shannon is keeping to a two-drink maximum, and reminded Tamra that she has seen her in “compromising situations.”
“Oh, God, Shannon,” Tamra replied. “Have I drove my car into a house?” While Shannon left the table to speak with a producer, Tamra spoke with another producer at the table. She asked if Shannon was “getting a drink.” So shady!
In a confessional scene, Shannon stated, “This is a true example of kicking someone when they’re down. It’s just the low blows; you go for the jugular.” She added, “That’s what you do, Tamra Judge.” To be fair, Shan went for the jugular when Gina Kirschenheiter got her DUI.
Let’s talk about John Janssen
When Shannon returned, she informed Tamra that she has a supportive, albeit small, group of friends now. Naturally, Tamra pointed out what an amazing friend she has been to Shannon for the past 10 years.
So, Shannon mentioned how Tamra was Team Alexis when it came to the money situation with John. However, Tamra couldn’t believe that John was suing Shannon. “He said he won’t accept one penny under $75,000,” Shannon said. As Shannon wept, the ladies hugged it out.
Obviously, their truce didn’t last. “She’s trying to trash my name and rewrite history. All I’ve ever done is try to help her. It was always a one-sided friendship,” Tamra said recently. And Tamra isn’t the only one who wants to end their relationship.
“I don’t [think we’ll be friends again],” Shannon said. I’m not sure what transpired between the duo, but we will probably find out more during the remainder of Season 18 of RHOC.
Real Housewives of Orange County continues on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
