In a reunion preview, Shannon Beador suggested the ex of Gina Kirschenheiter’s boyfriend Travis Mullen “reached out” to Tamra Judge concerning the allegation that Gina once threw Travis down the stairs. Plus, Tamra defended her actions toward Shannon this season, and Emily Simpson asked Tamra to “just say you’re sorry.”
Throughout the new season of Real Housewives of Orange County, fans have been offended by Tamra’s treatment of Shannon following her DUI. She insinuated that Shannon was an alcoholic, and she supported the new girlfriend of Shannon’s ex John Janssen as he sued Shannon for $75,000.
Tamra also claimed that Shannon consulted her lawyer to find out if the stairs allegation was true.
In the preview shared by @byewighellodrama on Instagram, Andy asked why Shannon wanted to bring up this allegation last year.
“Because they had been fighting,” said Tamra, and she then alluded to her past claim that Shannon once made disparaging remarks about Travis’ penis size. “You know, there was the wiener thing.”
“She wanted to hurt me,” said Gina of the stairs allegation. “[But] in the moment, I truly was more upset that Tamra brought it up.”
Shannon then interjected.
“Do you know how I heard that there was even a story out there?” Shannon asked, addressing Tamra directly. “You told it to me.”
Tamra denied it, saying, “The story came out four months before—”
“No. You said that Travis’ ex-wife had reached out to you, or someone,” Shannon interjected. “Someone’s always reaching out to you, Tamra.”
But Tamra claimed she doesn’t even know the name of Travis’ ex.
Later on, Tamra defended why she treated Shannon in such a way this season. She alleged that Shannon kept calling her while “intoxicated” when Shannon was claiming she wasn’t drinking.
“I need you to stop doing that because I didn’t,” Shannon reacted. “I know what the truth is, and if someone’s gonna believe your lies, then I’m sorry.”
Tamra then accused Shannon of “gaslighting.”
At this point, Emily asked Tamra to “just say you’re sorry” and leave it there.
“Yeah,” said Tamra, thinking Emily was talking to Shannon.
“She’s talking to you,” said host Andy Cohen.
“Wait, sorry about what?” asked Tamra.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 reunion begins Thursday, November 7, at 9/8c on Bravo.
