Tamra Judge is struggling to get past Shannon Beador’s DUI arrest.
On the July 18 episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Shannon and Tamra came face-to-face at Heather Dubrow’s luncheon. When Tamra confronted Shannon about talking behind her back, Shannon denied it and asked for an example.
“You said that I’m a horrible friend, that I have a giant ego, that my ego needs to shut down, that I think I'm better than everybody,” Tamra, 56, explained.
“I did say, while we were doing the Tres Amigas tour, ‘We always had to do it around Tamra’s schedule because she's got so much going on,’" Shannon, 60, admitted. “And you were walking around going, ‘Thank me for the show.’”
Tamra insisted she never took solo credit for the Tres Amigas show, which was also hosted with former costar Vicki Gunvalson, and didn’t hold back on her opinions about Shannon — especially after her DUI.
“You're not a good person,” she told her friend. “You've done horrible things to me.”
In her confessional, Tamra added that “Shannon lies about everything,” and because she can’t apologize, it makes it hard for her to move on.
Upset at Tamra, Shannon walked back to the table and told her makeup artist and friend Pamela Brogardi about the interaction. “I did say, ‘You have an ego,’ but then she goes, ‘No, I don't wanna sit down with you, you ar -
e a horrible person,’” she recounted.
The ladies didn’t talk the rest of the lunch, but Tamra sat down with husband Eddie later in the episode to discuss her feelings for Shannon.
“I have too much anger in me,” Tamra admitted. “I think where my anger lies has nothing to do with the Tres Amigas stuff.”
She continued to reflect on Shannon’s DUI, saying: “I thought she was gonna get help, and it's frustrating to me because she's lying to everybody.”
Noting that Shannon sometimes would say she was “sober,” but other times be seen drinking, Tamra told Eddie she thinks Shannon isn’t taking full responsibility for her mistake.
“She says, ‘I'm just gonna have a drink, I’m just gonna have two drinks, I don't have a drinking problem,'” Tamra said. “I will be there in a heartbeat if she reaches out to me, but I’m going to choose me and my happiness.”
She added, “I cannot deal with the day to day with her anymore, it’s too stressful.”
