Tamra Judge is opening up about her relationship with RHOC co-star and former bestie, Shannon Beador. As it turns out, she has been struggling with Shannon for around a decade now. So, the dissension in their friendship is not something that just happened overnight or because of Shannon’s DUI hit-and-run arrest. Keep reading for more on the struggle Tamra claims she has been through in the last ten years.

Tamra Judge Struggled With Shannon For A Decade

When Shannon Beador first came onto the RHOC scene in Season 9, Tamra Judge gravitated toward her. She loved how fun she was and how she could easily throw back a few drinks. Shannon always had a hangover remedy and she lightened the mood but early on, there was also a lot of tumult. She and her husband, David Beador were struggling in their marriage, something Shannon was open about with Tamra. Tamra then told Heather Dubrow and that created even more drama. From then on, Shannon was a ticking time bomb and her friendship with Tamra always had highs and lows.

There were times when Shannon only focused on herself when Tamra was going through her only family and life issues. That made Tamra feel unseen and like it was a one-sided friendship. She also called Shannon out for her drinking in the past. Then, Tamra was fired and the two stopped speaking until she returned in Season 17. They reconciled and even started a ‘Tres Amigas’ improv show with Vicki Gunvalson. Then, it came crumbling down and now, Tamra is estranged from both women. However, she maintains this downfall was a decade in the making.

According to Monsters & Critics, Tamra Judge opened up about what really went down between herself and Shannon Beador. She shared these details on So Bad It’s Good with Ryan Bailey:

“You have to understand, it was 10 years of me talking her off the ledge, taking the phone calls all day, all night, and some of the things I don’t want to repeat, they are so bad.”

Therefore, Shannon would have to be the one to apologize first for there ever to be a reconciliation. Additionally, Tamra’s husband, Eddie Judge was drained by Shannon’s calling. She claimed he noticed her mood shifting downward after their conversations. Finally, Tamra had enough.

Speaking The Truth

There came a point when Tamra Judge had to speak her truth and tell Shannon Beador how she felt:

“She was always calling drunk, and then when she got the DUI…I had a talk with her, I said, ‘Listen, it’s been really hard for me to say this to you, but you got a drinking problem and you need to get help.’”

The hope was that this unfortunate incident would help wake Shannon up. However, Tamra did not feel it did. Despite Shannon claiming she was no longer drinking, Tamra alleges that was false:

“She was calling me drunk every night. Every night she was calling me drunk…the thing with Shannon is when she drinks like that, she’s very aggressive and mean.”

Regarding the videos that John Janssen has of Shannon allegedly drunk and nearly running over his daughter, Tamra has not seen them. Despite that, she knows her well enough so she believes everything that is supposedly on the tapes. After the Thursday, September 26th episode of RHOC, fans have called Tamra out for her angry drinking. Therefore, what she is saying may not hold much weight.

What are your thoughts on Tamra’s decade-long struggle with Shannon? Do you think she just keeps making up things to not look like the bad guy or do you believe it to be true? Let us know and watch RHOC Thursdays on Bravo.
