Tamra Judge seems to be getting friendly with her former nemesis Alexis Bellino – who she infamously called “Jesus Jugs” on past seasons of Real Housewives of Orange County. Meanwhile, insiders addressed whether Shannon Beador will quit if Alexis returns to the show.
Tamra and Alexis’ alliance is surprising because John Janssen, the ex-boyfriend of Tamra’s ally Shannon, is allegedly pursuing Alexis, who was recently spotted with him at Shannon’s favorite restaurant.
Amid the tornado of drama and speculation, Tamra entered the vortex.
In Instagram comments shared by @allabouttrh, Alexis congratulated Tamra, who made Variety’s list of most influential women in reality TV.
“What??!!! Congrats babe!!!!!🙌🙌,” wrote the alum.
Tamra acknowledged Alexis’ support before dropping an orange emoji – the signpost for RHOC cast members – suggesting her possible wish to get Alexis back on the show, despite the Shannon drama.
To make matters worse, Tamra wrote another comment sharing her desire to “get together” with Alexis soon.
Fans flocked to the comments to express theories on what’s happening behind the scenes.
“I feel like tamra is so scared of losing her spot the show again she’s even working hard when cameras are not filming,” wrote one fan.
“Obvious! Tamra [is] looking hard for that next story line 🙄,” wrote another.
A different user added, “Tamara is up to something and I’m here for it!!”
Despite the chaos, sources close to RHOC production told Radar that no casting decisions have been established. An insider close to Shannon also claimed she won’t quit the show or create a scene if Alexis returns, as Shannon feels confident with her allies.
“I think she has enough allies on that show,” said the source. “Especially if they bring Vicki (Gunvalson) back.”
When asked about casting choices for next season, an insider answered, “We are still a ways away.”
