Kelly Dodd calls BS on Tamra Judge teasing that she and Shannon Beador reconciled their friendship at the RHOC season 18 reunion. Get the tea!
Real Housewives of Orange County alum Kelly Dodd is calling out the rumored reconciliation between former besties turned enemies Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador.
Days after Tamra Judge teased that fans would be “surprised” by where she stands with Shannon Beador after the RHOC season 18 reunion, their former co-star Kelly Dodd called them out on social media.
“They made up to save both their jobs!!!!” Kelly wrote on Instagram along with several clown emojis.
Despite both Shannon and Tamra vowing to never be friends again, Tamra recently teased that they may have reach a peace treaty at the RHOC season 18 reunion.
“Shannon’s been close to me for a long time,” Tamra Judge told PEOPLE. “I can’t really give anything away. I think everybody’s just going to be a little bit surprised.”
“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.”
It’s not secret that Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador‘s once strong friendship fizzled throughout season 18 of RHOC. Tamra claimed that she could no longer sit back at watch Shannon continue to drink following her September 2023 DUI arrest. Not only has Tamra called Shannon a drunk, she has claimed that Shannon needs rehab.
The outspoken RHOC star has been highly critical of Shannon both on and off the show since her DUI. She has also publicly supported Alexis Bellino‘s relationship with Shannon’s ex-boyfriend John Janssen.
Meanwhile, what we do know about the highly anticipated season 18 reunion is that it will be “clam” and won’t include “people ripping each other’s faces off,” according to host Andy Cohen.
“I think people will be surprised,” Andy Cohen shared on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live. “It was very calm. We worked through a lot of things, but it wasn’t people ripping each other’s faces off.”
Andy explained that once viewers watched the season 18 finale, they would understand why the reunion had such a calm vibe.
He noted that “the last few episodes of Orange County” get “especially heated,” which ultimately resulted in a much calmer reunion.
However, fans shouldn’t worry that the reunion will be drama free. In fact, Andy admitted that the RHOC season 18 sit down was not all kumbaya and that there were several moments of contention.
The father of two explained, “I have to say, Alexis, Jesus Jugs, was there for part of it. That was not calm, that was not calm. That was very … it was a lot.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
