RHOC star Tamra Judge reveals she is “looking forward” to the upcoming season 18 reunion amid her bitter feud with former best friend Shannon Beador.
Tamra Judge tells DailyMail.com she is “looking forward” to vindicating herself at the upcoming Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 reunion amid her ongoing feud with co-star Shannon Beador.
So far, throughout season 18 of RHOC, fans have supported Shannon Beador in the ongoing drama between her and Tamra Judge.
However, the 57-year-old mom of four insists fans haven’t heard the entire story behind her friendship fallout with Shannon.
“I’m actually really looking forward to the reunion because I feel like it’s a time where a lot of questions that haven’t been answered are going to be answered,” she said.
“Like, why do you keep showing me heated, but you don’t show me why I’m heated?” she continued.
According to Tamra Judge, she didn’t just cut Shannon out of her life following her DUI in September 2023. In fact, Tamra claims she fully supported Shannon after her DUI. However, a short time later, the 60-year-old turned on her, and she had no choice but to end their friendship.
“I think that there’s a lot of people complaining that a lot of stuff has been cut out, and I’m hoping that it’s going to be my time to explain that a lot of stuff… people seem to think that I just turned my back on Shannon for Alexis [Bellino], and that’s the farthest thing from the truth.”
Tamra insists that she “was there for [Shannon] every step of the way of her recovery.”
“I was by her side, and it got to a point where I couldn’t sit back and watch her continue to drink like that and lie to the public and say she wasn’t,” she explained.
“So I tried to take another approach, and she actually turned on me and started saying some horrible things about me, so I just decided to back off.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
