The RHOC season 18 trailer is raising eyebrows as it teases major drama between the OC Housewives. Get all the deets!
Shannon Beador takes center stage in the RHOC season 18 trailer as she goes head-to-head with Tamra Judge and Alexis Bellino.
“Shannon is not taking responsibility for what she did,” Tamra says in the RHOC trailer following Shannon’s DUI and their friendship fallout.
In September 2023, Shannon was arrested for DUI and hit-and-run after she crashed her car into a residence while driving under the influence. A month later, she was sentenced to three years probation.
Although Shannon cries and seems remorseful while apologizing to her kids in the trailer, which dropped on Thursday, June 6, Tamra isn’t convinced that Shannon has changed.
So when Shannon orders a cocktail during an outing with the RHOC cast, Tamra takes her to task for it.
“You decided to drive your car into a house, drunk,” Tamra yells at Shannon.
At another event, Shannon tells Tamra she needs to “stop” attacking her, and Tamra fires back: “I need to stop what? Uncovering your bullshit.”
However, Shannon and Tamra’s drama is only one of the many sticky situations Shannon finds herself in throughout season 18 of RHOC.
Shannon also faces returning RHOC star Alexis Bellino, who began dating Shannon’s ex-boyfriend, John Janssen, in late 2023.
“I have your ex-boyfriend. There’s the door, Shannon Beador,” Alexis screams at Shannon during one fight.
Alexis also makes it clear that she’s ready to go at it with Shannon: “There’s a lot more, and if she wants to go toe to toe, I’m ready.”
Meanwhile, Shannon questions Alexis’ intentions. “Does she want to be me?” Shannon questions aloud, which makes Alexis laugh before telling the RHOC cameras, “Nah!”
Yet, the rest of the RHOC cast seems just as surprised by Alexis dating John.
“You think you’re going to marry him?” Gina Kirschenheiter asks to which Alexis nods her head.
Newcomer Katie Ginella finds herself at odds with Heather Dubrow, calling the longtime RHOC star a “liar” during one cast trip.
“Stop using the word lie. I didn’t lie,” Heather insists, but Katie says she can “see straight through” Heather.
The ladies of RHOC are also dealing with some major issues in their personal lives.
Gina breaks down over her boyfriend Travis “moving out of our house” while Jennifer Pedranti‘s new fiancé, Ryan Boyajian, finds himself in the center of a $16 million baseball gambling scandal.
“Everything is the lord’s plan,” Ryan tells Jennifer amid the drama. “They smear you because that’s God’s plan,” Jennifer adds.
The RHOC season 18 trailer ends with tears as Tamra promises, “The truth will come out.”
Shannon then vows, “We don’t stoop to this level; that’s not who we are.” However, Gina disagrees and fires back, “This is who we are.”
Season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County premieres on Bravo Thursday, July 11, at 9 p.m. ET.
