Tamra Judge seemed to take aim at Shannon Beador on the latest episode of her shared podcast with Teddi Mellencamp.
As she also threatened to “blow things up” amid filming on the upcoming 20th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County due to the way she was treated on season 19, claiming that she had been a “punching bag” for her co-stars, Tamra, 58, appeared to compare Shannon, 61, to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Sutton Stracke, 54, describing her as “fragile.”
“[Jennifer Tilly] said something that resonated with me. She said, ‘Sutton gets a pass because everybody knows she’s fragile,’ and I’ve had a friend that was like that,” Tamra shared on Two Ts in a Pod, via Just Bookin’ Around on TikTok. “They get away with everything, and everybody feels bad for them because they’re so fragile. But it gets annoying because at what point is it their own fault that they’re so fragile?”
“Do something about it,” she added.
@just_bookin_around This question is in no disrespect, but why is Sutton currently so fragile? Is it the annulment? And did Sutton ever apologize to Jennifer Tilly? 🎧: TWOT, January 23 📸: Reality Blurb & BravoTV #fyp #bravo #bravotv #peacock #rhobh ♬ original sound – Just Bookin’ Around
Around the same time, as she was featured on an episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, via YouTube, Tamra asked Jeff Lewis, 55, if he was worried that Shannon wouldn’t be asked to return to RHOC.
“No,” he replied. “She’s like one of those OGs that people love.”
Jeff then noted that he’d like to see Tamra and Shannon reconcile since he didn’t want to see another season where the two of them were at odds. This prompted Tamra to point out that she “tried last year” and it “didn’t work.”
According to Jeff, he’d also appreciate a reunion between the Tres Amigas, which includes Vicki Gunvalson, 63.
“But here’s the thing, Tamra, if you do commit to a resolution, you know, you’ve got a sharp tongue, and sometimes you say mean things,” he noted.
In response, Tamra made it clear that she wouldn’t be holding back.
“After how they treated me last year, I’m gonna f*cking blow things up. I was in a very sad situation. I wasn’t happy, and nobody — if anybody else was having a hard time, it would be like, ‘Oh, what can I do for you? Let’s have a party to cheer you up.’ No. They’re like, ‘You’re leaking stories. You’re doing this. You’re that.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh my god, you guys are not my friends,’” she recalled.
Then, after Teddi suggests she needed a “redemption year,” and Jeff joked that she’d been needing one “for, like, 20 seasons,” Tamra said, “I’m like a punching bag.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 20 is expected to go into production sometime early this year.
