Season 18 of Real Housewives of Orange County is off to a juicy start. There is tension between Shannon Beador and Alexis Bellino, who is returning in a friend of the housewives role.
She kindly brought Shannon’s ex, John Janssen, along for the ride. Plus, Shannon is handling the fallout from her DUI. That night, she was leaving John’s house when she drove into someone else’s home. This is all very messy, and Tamra Judge is done with Shannon’s shenanigans.
Tamra Judge claims her friendship with Shannon Beador ended because Shannon “did something”
Tamra made it clear that she didn’t agree with Shannon’s decision to attend outpatient therapy instead of rehab. And Shannon was upset that Tamra was keeping tabs on her alcohol consumption. “She has no right. Who made you the judge and jury of what I should and shouldn’t be doing in my life?” Shannon said of Tamra. Perhaps a concerned friend would notice the cocktail count of someone who had a DUI.
“The DUI did not break up our friendship. I was very supportive of Shannon for months after her DUI,” Tamra told Decider. “I thought it would be a huge wake-up call to her, and she would finally stop drinking. But that did not happen.”
Tamra continued, “Shannon and I are no longer speaking because of Shannon, not because of me. She did something that I can’t really give away. It eventually led me to quit Tres Amigas and cut her out of my life,” she explained. “I had to do it for my own peace of mind. I had to make myself a priority and not let her overly dramatic neurotic behavior affect me anymore.” Tell us how you really feel, Tamra!
Still, for Tamra, it was a tough decision. “The end of our friendship has nothing to do with Alexis. It has nothing to do with Tres Amigas. It has something to do with her going behind my back,” the RHOC star stated. Tamra added, “It was the final straw, and I decided that I’m not doing this anymore.
Well, we have seen Tamra and Shannon fall out before. But somehow this vibe feels more final.
