Season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County is nearing its end, and the ladies recently filmed their reunion. Still, the drama is continuing as Tamra Judge recently discussed where she stands with Shannon Beador and even expressed interest in repairing their friendship. Sadly, it’s a different story when it comes to Vicki Gunvalson. 

As fans know, this hasn’t been a good season of RHOC for Tamra and Shannon’s friendship. Instead of supporting her during this difficult time, Tamra took every chance she got to call out Shannon in front of their co-stars for drinking. This is despite Shannon taking accountability and even completing the legal requirements associated with her DUI ahead of schedule.

Tamra implied that Shannon’s issues with alcohol are even worse than anyone knows. Things also haven’t been great with Vicki despite the fact that the “OG of the OC” only appears in a few episodes this season. 

Recently, Tamra and Teddi Mellencamp were interviewed by PEOPLE ahead of their live podcast show. Much of the conversation centered around RHOC and mending relationships.

When asked about her status with Shannon, Tamra said, “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 asked Teddi if she would support a reconciliation between Tamra and Shannon. She replied, “Whatever Tamra feels like is best for her. I support her.”

She then said, “We all” get into friendships with extreme highs and lows. She added, “Especially when you add in a television show [and] when you add in financials and working together and all these different things, I would say when it came down to it, I’d be more pleased if she made up with Shannon than Vicki [Gunvalson].”

Tamra then admitted that fixing her issues with Vicki was “never happening.” She also said she’ll “fight hard” to fix problems when “I really care for somebody.”

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

Tamra also discussed the reunion, especially the aspects involving Alexis Bellino. She said, “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.”
