Tamra Judge Drops Shocking News on Shannon Beador, Talks Vicki Status, and Reveals the Most “Explosive” RHOC Reunion Moment – Plus Live Viewing Thread

Season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County is approaching its conclusion, and while the ladies have already filmed their reunion, the drama is far from over. Recently, Tamra Judge opened up about her current standing with Shannon Beador and hinted at a possible reconciliation. Unfortunately, her relationship with Vicki Gunvalson seems beyond repair.

Throughout this season, Tamra and Shannon’s friendship faced numerous challenges. Instead of offering support during a difficult time, Tamra frequently called out Shannon in front of their co-stars, criticizing her drinking habits. This was despite Shannon taking responsibility for her actions and completing her legal obligations following a DUI, even finishing them ahead of schedule.

Tamra suggested that Shannon’s struggles with alcohol might be more serious than most realize. As for her relationship with Vicki, things haven’t been smooth either, even though the “OG of the OC” only made a few appearances this season.

In a recent interview with PEOPLE, ahead of their live podcast show, Tamra and Teddi Mellencamp discussed the dynamics on RHOC and the possibility of mending relationships.

When asked about where she currently stands with Shannon, Tamra teased, “Shannon’s been close to me for a long time. I can’t really give anything away. I think everybody’s just going to be a little bit surprised.”

The interviewer then turned to Teddi, asking if she would support a reconciliation between Tamra and Shannon. Teddi responded, “Whatever Tamra feels like is best for her. I support her.”

Teddi continued, “We all” experience friendships with intense ups and downs. She elaborated, “Especially when you add in a television show [and] when you add in financials and working together and all these different things. When it came down to it, I’d be more pleased if she made up with Shannon than Vicki [Gunvalson].”

Tamra was candid about her stance with Vicki, admitting that a reconciliation was “never happening.” However, she expressed her determination when it comes to saving relationships, saying she’ll “fight hard” when “I really care for somebody.”

Speaking about Shannon, she added, “I love hard, and then I will fight hard. It was a hurtful situation for me as well.”

Tamra also touched on the reunion, specifically moments involving Alexis Bellino. She revealed, “That was the most explosive part of the reunion. There was a lot of tough discussions that went down. There was a lot of emotions, there was a lot of explanation to why maybe I felt a certain way, and overall, I felt like it was one of the best reunions that I’ve done in a very long time.”
