“I love hard and then I will fight hard,” she said about her fallout with Shannon, “It was a hurtful situation for me as well.”
As for ever mending fences with Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra declared that will “never happen” but notes that she will always “fight hard” to keep friendship intact when “I really care for somebody.”
Meanwhile, Tamra also teased that some major drama erupts at the RHOC season 18 reunion when Alexis takes the stage.
“That was the most explosive part of the reunion,” Tamra teased. “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.”
