David Beador‘s estranged wife, Lesley Beador, took to her Instagram page on Thursday night to share an old clip of The Real Housewives of Orange County and call out the series’ longtime star, Tamra Judge.
Amid her and David’s latest breakup, which has seen restraining orders being filed and extortion claims being made, Lesley, 41, posted a 2018 clip of Tamra, 57, suggesting to Shannon Beador, 60, that David, 59, began communicating with Lesley prior to their 2017 split.
“I don’t know. I think it’s probably one of the hardest things you could hear,” Shannon began in the season 12 clip.
“He was commenting on her posts in October,” Tamra replied.
Then, in a cast confessional, Tamra admitted to “stalking” Lesley on social media.
“After I found out that David had a girlfriend, of course, I started stalking her, and I saw that they had been communicating as far back as maybe even when they were married,” she shared.
In response to Tamra’s allegation, however, Shannon noted that it “doesn’t matter.”
“It’s over. It doesn’t matter. But I wouldn’t put it past him,” she admitted.
Along with the clip, Lesley included a caption about a “lie” Tamra mentioned on this week’s episode of RHOC season 18. As fans may have seen, Tamra suggested that Shannon often told her false information off-screen that she encouraged her to bring up on-screen before acting surprised that Tamra did so.
“[Tamra], was this a lie you are referring to?” Lesley wondered on October 11. “We met in late [December,] not [October]. Long after they separated. He dated plenty before me. To imply we had an affair was beyond cruel. To pick on the underdog that didn’t have a platform equal to you, shows how weak you are.”
“Stop gossiping like you’re in your high school era,” she added.
After also noting that the clip had aired in 2018, Lesley included several hashtags, including “mean girls,” “David Beador,” “ready to spill the tea,” and “I have a side.”
Lesley also offered a comment after the clip initially aired in 2018, telling her followers on Instagram that she and David met in December 2017 and accusing Tamra of making the claims against her for “ratings.”
She even reached out to Tamra directly, saying, “Hi Tamra, by chance do you have a screenshot of the IG pictures were you said David was talking to me in October? We met in December at some point. You shouldn’t spread rumors just for ratings… not fair to anyone.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
