Shannon Beador has finally spoken out about what went down between her and Tamra Judge on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. The 62-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star recently opened up about their explosive fight on the show and revealed that she felt Tamra “instigated” more than viewers actually saw. And apparently, that fight had consequences for both women.
Shannon Beador claims Tamra Judge “instigated” other things on the night they fought
The drama started during the RHUGT season premiere when Tamra appeared to take a shot at Shannon’s personal life, suggesting she doesn’t have as good of a life because she doesn’t have a husband. She also brought up Shannon’s drinking, something she had already apologized for repeatedly during the previous season.
It didn’t take long for things to boil over.
Shannon eventually started yelling at Tamra before deciding to walk away. The fight reportedly continued beyond that moment, and producers eventually banned both women from attending the season finale.
Shannon shared with ET that missing the finale bothered her more than anything else. She said, “What upset me the most about the whole thing was that I was supposed to go to the finale at the Berkshires, and I felt very honored to be included in that.” She also added, “So for me, that was a huge blow that I wasn’t able to go when I feel as though I wasn’t really the instigator.”
And Shannon wasn’t exactly ready to take all the blame for what happened that night.
The RHOC star said, “Tamra instigated a lot of other things that night too, not just with me.” She went on, “So it was a huge bummer for me. … We were both not allowed to go, which I didn’t really understand why I was included in that because I tried to be calm, until I wasn’t.”
So where does that leave Shannon and Tamra now?
Apparently, Shannon says she’s trying to stay out of another Housewives-style fight.
“You know, I’m not gonna go on social media, make comments. She doesn’t know what I’m doing,” she said. “Sometimes I get sucked in. We all know the sucked-in Tamra position. We’ve been in it many times. But I have fun with her, and that’s my plan, is to continue on that road.”
DO YOU THINK THERE WAS MORE TO SHANNON AND TAMRA’S FIGHT THAN VIEWERS SAW?
