Tamra Judge went off on Shannon Beador for her “ridiculous” and “calculated” behavior as she reflected on their cast trip to London after Thursday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County.
As she pointed out that Shannon, 60, had gotten mad at her for discussing her post-DUI photo after sharing the pic with Heather Dubrow, 55, and accused her co-star of digging for dirt on their castmates ahead of every reunion, Tamra, 57, shared when Shannon contacted an attorney about Gina Kirschenheiter, 40, and Travis Mullen. Plus, Heather revealed why she believes Shannon made an early exit from their getaway.
“Do you think it’s happy? Do you know that I left?” Shannon asked during an October 24 interview with Bravo HQ.
Meanwhile, as she looked back on the drama she and Shannon faced in London, Tamra wondered why Shannon made such a big deal of her mention of her photo.
“Shannon had shown me that picture of her all bloody. In fact, I think I have it on my phone. She sent it to me and she showed it to Heather on camera, and I had already told Heather I had seen that picture, so it’s kind of ridiculous when someone’s saying, ‘You’re sharing information about me,’ when you just showed it yourself on camera for the world to see,” she noted.
According to Tamra, “Shannon is a very calculated person.”
“She doesn’t show it on camera, but she’s very calculated and very smart, and she tries to dig up dirt on people before every reunion or even before filming,” Tamra explained, proceeding to mention a digging adventure that had taken place last year on Labor Day.
While on a boat with Taylor Armstrong, 53, and her husband, John Bluher, who is an attorney, Tamra said Shannon began looking into claims of Gina having pushed Travis down the stairs.
“She knew that her and Gina were going to be battling at the reunion. So she asked Taylor’s husband to look up information to find out about Gina pushing Travis down the stairs, and she said that’s why she stopped drinking, is because she pushed Travis down the stairs and he gave her an ultimatum,” Tamra shared. “I was not there. I had nothing to do with it, but Shannon had called me the night before the reunion and told me what she was doing. And she said Taylor called her and said John doesn’t want to get involved.”
Taking note of the hypocrisy, Heather explained that Shannon was upset about old topics being brought up on the show, even though she was the one who showed Jennifer Pedranti, 47, an old text message about Tamra’s past digging into Ryan Boyajian, 47.
“Jenn was so pissed off at Tamra for looking up Ryan two years ago, but Shannon’s the one that gave her the information. But why did she give her the information now when it happened two years ago?” Heather wondered. “That caused Tamra to retaliate and show that it wasn’t just her, that Shannon had been digging up things also, and she dug up things on Travis.”
“It devolved into this finger-pointing and mean and all these things, and I think that when Shannon was faced with the fact that she does this stuff too, she just took off,” she added.
Also during the interview, Emily Simpson, 48, admitted she was bummed to see Shannon leave London early.
“I wish Shannon wouldn’t have left. I just felt really sad that she felt like she had to get a ticket and fly home alone,” she stated. “And I could just picture her being in the airport alone and having her own luggage and getting on this flight and flying home alone, and it just made me sad that she felt she had to do that.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
