Shannon Beador reveals why she doesn’t think reconciling with Tamra Judge is in the cards following their friendship fallout while filming season 18 of RHOC.
“I don’t [think we’ll be friends again] because I now can look back and see pretty much every season that I’ve been in with Tamra, there’s always an issue that she has with me,” Shannon Beador told Us Weekly. “Either I did something or didn’t do something, and it’s OK, we don’t need to be friends then. She says she walks on eggshells around me. I’m sorry that you feel that way, but I walked on eggshells around her.
She added, “I was feeling like I had to prove to her that I was a good friend, and that’s not healthy for me. I’m making healthy choices right now.”
“What bothers me too is that in my past with Tamra, there would be inconsistent stories about me that had maybe a nugget of truth, but there was embellishment around it [and] I would just say nothing in deference to the friendship,” Shannon said before sharing her thoughts on Tamra Judge’s comments about her alcohol use. “I feel as though she said things to make it appear as though [she was concerned about me].”
She continued, “I think she said, ‘I said things she didn’t want to hear.’ OK, I heard things that you said, and I took them into account, and I did what I felt was best for me, and I know that that was a good choice because I know how I feel right now. I said that she had a big ego, which got back to her, and yes, she does. And I’ve said, ‘Well, you do. Yeah, and?’”
