RHOC Season 18, Episode 16 Preview: Tamra Judge Explains Ryan Boyajian ‘Background Check’

Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge is in the middle of the drama this season. Not only is she not getting along with Shannon Beador, but she also had a recent argument with Ryan Boyajian, who is Jennifer Pedranti’s fiancé. This trip to London isn’t exactly the fun time that Shannon envisioned for her birthday.

RHOC Season 18, Episode 16 sneak peek: Jennifer Pedranti confronts Tamra Judge over alleged background check

Jennifer confronted Tamra in front of Heather Dubrow. “Talk sh*t about me, talk sh*t about Ryan, and then cry that you f*cking love me. You don’t f*cking love anything about me!” Jennifer yelled at Tamra. Fancy Pants tried to tone down the conversation by throwing Shannon under a double-decker bus. “Get out of Tamra’s a** and be your own person,” Jennifer said in her confessional, referencing Heather.

Next, Jennifer called herself “an idiot” for ever thinking that Tamra was her friend. Still, Jennifer refused to believe Heather and Tamra when they both insisted that Tamra didn’t do a background check on Ryan. “Just be careful,” Jennifer told Tamra. “Your mouth got you in trouble before.” Yikes!

So, Tamra told Heather the entire story. A man approached Tamra at the gym two years ago. He said, “‘I was friends with Ryan. I cannot believe that he would show his face after he was named in a lawsuit about selling timeshares in another country.’ And they weren’t building them and they were collecting the HOA money beforehand,” Tamra explained. “People went to jail for it, and I sent it to Shannon.”

According to Tamra, Shannon begged her to dig up some dirt, since Lesley Beador’s ex-husband was also named in the case. When Shannon asked if Tamra knew of anyone who could help, Tamra said that her friend was an attorney. “And if Shannon would have showed Jen the entire text message, ‘Oh, that’s right. It would incriminate Shannon,'” Tamra said in her confessional as text messages showed on the screen. She added that Shannon was concerned, as was Tamra, that “Ryan’s ‘a shady mother*cker’.”

Of course, Heather, who looked like she wanted to down a bottle of champs, told Tamra that she needed to tell Jennifer the entire tale. However, Tamra refused, because Jennifer was screaming at her. Plus, Tamra had recently had a screaming match with Ryan at Katie Ginella’s couples dinner.

Meanwhile, Tamra plans to claim some redemption at the Season 18 RHOC reunion.“[Shannon] tried to destroy my friendship – well, she did – with Jenn, bringing up [an old] text message … out of context,” Tamra explained. “It was about something totally different, and I will prove it at the [RHOC Season 18] reunion.”

Real Housewives of Orange County continues on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
