A source shared more details behind Tamra Judge’s “explosive” fight with Shannon Beador on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, as they were reportedly banned from the season finale, and revealed how Gizelle Bryant was allegedly involved.
Recently, news broke that Tamra and Shannon had a fight so intense that they were booted from the last episode. The fight was presumably influenced by their feud last season on Real Housewives of Orange County. At the reunion, the ex-friends failed to reconcile.
Speaking to The Daily Mail, a source addressed Tamra’s “explosive” fight with Shannon. Apparently, the dispute happened in Orange County at a Bunco party, with several current and past co-stars in attendance.
“Tamra and Gizelle started poking at Shannon and of course she reacted as she always does, and then it just spiraled from there,” said the insider. “Everybody thought it was going to be a fun party to celebrate RHOC, so the drama took everybody by surprise.”
Because of the fight, Bravo removed Tamra and Shannon from the scheduled finale at Dorinda Medley’s infamous Bluestone Manor, which showcased a wide array of the franchise’s stars. But the co-stars will face off in a few days, as the new season of RHOC begins filming.
Tamra and Shannon will be joined by Vicki Gunvalson, who finally returned to the main cast.
“Vicki’s in a great place in her life and doesn’t want to go backwards or have any toxicity. She just wants to have a good time and wants the fans to see where she’s at in her life now,” one insider stated. “She doesn’t want to be in the middle of another fight between Shannon and Tamra, so she’s hoping that the tres amigas can get back together and have some fun this season.”
In a recent statement, Peacock addressed the new spinoff, Real Housewives Ultimate Road Trip.
“In this special event series, the Housewives make their way through some of the most memorable locations in the franchise’s history,” said the statement. “Starting where it all began in Orange County and culminating in an epic east coast grand finale, each stop will feature appearances by fan favorites from different cities to pay tribute to the past, embrace the present, and look toward the many miles still ahead.”
