Tamra Judge accused Shannon Beador of turning on her amid filming on the 18th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County and said the two of them haven’t spoken since while appearing on Jeff Lewis‘ radio show on Friday.
Ahead of next month’s premiere of the new season, Tamra, 56, teased her falling out with Shannon, 60, confirming that they cut ties after filming wrapped and admitting that she ‘worries’ when it comes to Shannon’s financial future.
“Me and Shannon, we went into the season um, not in a good place and you guys will find out why and what happened and what led to that. But you will see where we have fun together this season, as well,” Tamra told Jeff, 54, on the June 14 episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live.
Although Tamra and Shannon had “some fun moments” together while filming, those good times came to an end after an incident Tamra didn’t detail.
“She turns on me at the end of the season, so I have not spoken to her since the last time we filmed together,” Tamra shared.
As RHOC fans will recall, Shannon was arrested for DUI in September, prior to the start of filming on season 18 after driving into a Newport Beach home. And, in the months that followed, Tamra and other cast members were openly critical of the scary mishap. In fact, Tamra lashed out at Shannon on camera, telling her, “You decided to drive your car into a house drunk!”
In another segment of Jeff’s show, Tamra said that while she has her “priorities” in line, giving a nod to the many businesses she’s set up for herself outside of RHOC, she’s concerned about Shannon and worries about what her co-star will do once her role on Bravo comes to an end..
“I’ve always known, even from the early days, that when this ride is over with Housewives, I have to now build something for the future, because Housewives is not my future. It’s not a career. It’s a job,” she stated. “And there’s so many housewives that have been in the game for 10 years, and then all the sudden it’s gone, and they’re like, ‘Oh sh*t. We have nothing else.’”
“That’s what I worry about with like, Shannon,” she added. “Her whole life is consumed around Housewives. If it goes, where do you go from there? Go get a job at Nordstrom?”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 premieres Thursday, July 11, at 9/8c on Bravo.
