RHOC’s Shannon Beador Reacts to Tamra Judge Calling Her a ‘Drunk’ and a ‘Liar’: My Kids Were ‘Upset’

usmagazine.com:

Shannon Beador sounded off on Tamra Judge calling her a “drunk” and a “liar” on The Real Housewives of Orange County — and revealed how they overcame the drama.“It’s hard.

I know that that’s not who I am,” Shannon, 59, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, June 14, while speaking about the unkind names Tamra, 55, called her on season 17. “My kids watched the episode with me and they were pretty upset about it.

They’re like, ‘Mom, that’s not who you are.’”Shannon — who shares daughter Sophie, 21, and twins Stella and Adeline, 18, with ex-husband David Beador — confessed that when certain cast members “throw that label” on her, it’s upsetting.“I feel as though when I’m on the show that I will point out something unkind that a cast member’s done,” she explained. “But I try to avoid putting general characterizations out there about people’s personalities because it’s damaging.”Shannon and Tamra — along with OG Housewife Vicki Gunvalson — had a strong friendship during their original stint on RHOC and later became known as the Tres Amigas.

During season 14, which aired in 2019, both Tamra and Vicki, 61, began feuding with Shannon amid her budding friendship with costar Kelly Dodd.The fitness coach later unfollowed Shannon on social media, claiming she “didn’t want to see” her relationship with Kelly, 47, grow. (Kelly, for her part, was fired from the Bravo series after season 15.)When Bravo confirmed in January 2020 that neither Tamra nor Vicki would return for season 15, their tension with Shannon seemed to build.
