Shannon Beador is seen refusing to go out to eat with Katie Ginella amid the Real Housewives of Orange County cast’s girls’ trip to New Orleans in a sneak peek at the August 14 episode.
As Gretchen Rossi, 46, talks to Heather Dubrow, 56, Gina Kirschenheiter, 41, and Jennifer Pedranti, 48, about a potential reconciliation with Tamra Judge, 57, and shares what it will take for them to move forward in a confessional moment, Shannon, 61, admits that she doesn’t want to be around Katie, 41, after learning she secretly recorded her amid an alleged meltdown.
“So I just had it out with Shannon. We were supposed to go eat at Cafe Dumont, and Shannon walked in and she goes, ‘I’m not going if she’s going,’” Katie tells husband Matt Ginella on the phone in the RHOC preview.
Fans then see a flashback moment in which Shannon admits to Katie, “I’m not really comfortable right now. I don’t want to be around you.”
She then tells the women, including Emily Simpson, 49, “I’m not going if Katie’s going … I am serious.”
Continuing on to Matt, Katie shares, “So I said, ‘Fine. Then you guys go. I’m not going to go.’ So I’m in a car. I’m headed to meet the other group of girls.”
In a confessional, Katie details the drama further, questioning why Shannon was okay to film scenes for season 18 with Alexis Bellino, 48, despite her relationship with John Janssen, 62, and the lawsuit John filed against her.
“You’ve been around Alexis, who is suing you with her boyfriend for $75,000, and I can’t eat a goddamn beignet with you? Give me a break,” she complained.
Meanwhile, during another scene, Gretchen was seen on a bus with Heather, Jennifer, and Gina, who wondered if Gretchen and Tamra would ever sit down and hash things out.
“Are we ever gonna address any of these things?” Gina asks as Heather notes that Tamra had said she “really wanted” to talk to Gretchen.
Heather then added that Tamra was in a “very emotional state” due to the cancer battle of her longtime friend and podcast co-host, Teddi Mellencamp, 44.
“With Tamra, she’s been in a very emotional state because of Teddi. Even before everything happened with Teddi, with her therapy and sort of regressing and going through her life…” she explains.
“Seems like a good opportunity to make some progress,” Gina interjects.
According to Gretchen, she’s “trying to be optimistic about a possible reconciliation with Tamra.”
“The Bible is very clear that it is a commandment to forgive. So if she can take some accountability, then there might be an opportunity to move forward,” she confirms in a confessional.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
