Tamra Judge brutally shades frenemy Shannon Beador: âSome people act for the comments sectionâ
Tamra Judge shared a hot take on Shannon Beador that might set them back a few paces.
âWe move forward, then we move back, we move forward, then we move back,â the âReal Housewives of Orange Countyâ star said of their infamously tumultuous friendship while chatting with Page Sixâs âVirtual Reali-Tea.â
Judge, 58, noted that while she and Beador, 62, are currently amicable, she doesnât think her frenemy wants the audience to know that. âI feel like now weâre doing good, but I donât think she wants anybody to know weâre doing good,â Judge said, sharing a shady theory that Beador pays close attention to the audienceâs negative opinion of Judge.
âSome people just act for the comments section of Instagram.â
Judge also speculated that Beador might be keeping their friendship under wraps so that fans can tune into Season 20 of âThe Real Housewives of Orange Countyâ to see how everything unfolds.âUnless she doesnât want to give it away yet. It could be that, too,â Judge surmised. âBut Iâm like, come on, they see us together and weâre photographed and we post pictures.â
While their friendship has been up and down for nearly a decade, things truly took a downward spiral in âRHOCâ Season 18 when Judge was outwardly critical of Beadorâs post-DUI drinking. She twisted the knife by aligning herself with Alexis Bellino, who returned to the show as a âfriend ofâ for one season. At the time, Bellino was dating Beadorâs ex-boyfriend, John Janssen, whom she has since married.
The two women have struggled to recover ever since. Despite Judgeâs attempts to apologize in Season 19, Beadorâs trust issues have held her back from fully rebuilding their once-close friendship.
