    Shannon Beador addressed her mysterious phone call with the anonymous source who accused Tamra Judge of leaking storylines to bloggers. Jeff Lewis then reacted, and he denied that he was the caller.

    In the season finale of the Real Housewives of Orange County, an unnamed man spoke with Shannon, Gina Kirschenheiter, and Jennifer Pedranti. The man revealed pivotal storylines involving Tamra (which, according to Andy Cohen, he wouldn’t have heard unless Tamra or Gina leaked it). After the finale aired, some fans speculated that the caller sounded like Jeff, who’s friends with both Tamra and Shannon.

    On Jeff Lewis Live, a fan asked Shannon about the mysterious caller in the season finale.

    “They distorted his voice, which I understand. But, Jeff, I wish they would have [shared] at the bottom — to protect his identity — [that we] changed his voice,” said Shannon, via @itsabravoworld on Instagram.

    “So you all know who it is,” said Jeff.

    “People were saying it was you,” said Shannon.

    “But it wasn’t me,” said Jeff. “But you know who it is?”

    “I know the person’s name, because I spoke [to him],” she said.

    “Oh, but we don’t know them?” asked Jeff. “I wouldn’t know him?”

    “No,” said Shannon. “It’s just a civilian.”

    “Somebody trying to get famous,” Jeff responded.

    “No, you guys,” said Shannon. “I don’t think he is trying to be famous, or else he would have said, ‘I’ll come and film or I’ll come to your reunion.’ I don’t think that’s the case … He didn’t want to be discovered, but he knew some information, [and] it was like, whoa.”

    At the reunion, Shannon said that, according to the caller, Tamra feeds storylines to content creators who then protect her on social media.

    In March 2025, another source addressed the situation in an interview with In Touch.

    “Tamra Judge has been cited as being the No. 1 source for production leaks to the media and attempting to get bloggers and reporters to write defamatory and damaging stories about her castmates. She then goes and accuses others of doing it,” the source claimed at the time. “Chances are if Tamra is pointing her finger at you about something, it’s because she is trying to deflect from the fact that she is the one behind the scenes actually doing it … [She] keeps a folder on each member of the cast and she has spent hours researching the internet looking for negative news that she can use against the cast during production.”

  • Jeff Lewis Claims Reza Farahan is “Mad” Because GG’s Business Partner is “Charging” Castmates to Attend “Their Own Premiere Party” as MJ Reacts

    Jeff Lewis claimed Reza Farahan is “mad” because Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi’s business partner is “charging” castmates to attend “their own premiere party” for The Valley: Persian Style, as he’ll “make money” from it. Mercedes Javid then confirmed that she “paid” for it.

    Last year, Bravo announced the new show, which will feature some castmates from Shahs of Sunset, including Golnesa, Mercedes, and Reza. Mercedes’ husband, Tommy Feight, also filmed in some capacity, though the couple recently announced they’re getting a divorce.

    “So Reza’s mad because GG’s business partner is holding a premiere party, but he’s charging everyone $100 a head,” said Jeff on his SiriusXM show, Jeff Lewis Live. “So he’s gonna make money [off of it].”

    Jeff’s guest, Jamie Kennedy, then reacted, saying, “They’re paying a hundred dollars to go to a party of their show?”

    “Their own premiere party, yes,” said Jeff.

    “What?” Jamie responded. “This is insane!”

    “Yes,” Jeff agreed.

    “Wait, what? Are you kidding me? GG should say no one is being charged. Not you guys, you’re part of the cast,” said Jamie, addressing Mercedes sitting next to him.

    Mercedes then confirmed that she “paid.”

    “Are you kidding me?” Jamie added. “It’s your show!”

    According to Bravo TV, The Valley: Persian Style will have some elements of The Valley, which premiered in July 2023 (centering on former castmates from Vanderpump Rules).

    “A spinoff of ‘The Valley,’ this series follows a tight-knit group of Persian friends who have traded Beverly Hills for suburban life in the Valley. As they juggle marriages, parenthood and thriving careers, cracks in their relationships – both between lovers and friends – begin to emerge,” said the description. “Rooted in their culture that values family, friendships and loyalty above everything else, emotions often take over as these fiery personalities navigate their highs, lows and everything in between.”

    “The cast includes Reza Farahan & Adam Farahan, Golnesa Gharachedaghi, Mercedeh Javid & Tommy Feight, Tanin Nikpey & Greg Haroutunian, Sky Asakari & Bamshad Akbar, Natasha & Amir Boroumand, and Reza Jackson,” the description added.

    The Valley: Persian Style airs Thursday, January 8, on Bravo.

  • Lala Kent Claps Back at Jeff Lewis for Reportedly Shading a Sober Person for Attending BravoCon

    Lala Kent is clapping back at Jeff Lewis, who reportedly shaded a fan for attending BravoCon while in recovery.

    After it was alleged that the former Flipping Out star, 55, had told the audience member that they shouldn’t be in Las Vegas for the fan convention during a moment that was ultimately cut from an “Ask Andy” panel, the 35-year-old Vanderpump Rules alum and cast member of The Valley spoke out in support of the fan.

    “Someone sent this to me. I heard it was followed by Jeff saying, ‘If you’re in recovery you shouldn’t be at BravoCon,’” Lala began. “I am in recovery, [and] have only attended BravoCon as a person in recovery.”

    As Pump Rules fans well know, Lala got sober in 2018 and celebrated her seven-year anniversary earlier this month.

    “To this man,” she continued, “Thank you for sharing your story. You are seen. You are heard. I am so happy you decided to come. I am sending you love, and know we are in this together. It is one day at a time.”

    “You also made me feel less alone. So thank you … We got this,” she added.

    Vanderpump Rules Lala Kent Reacts to Jeff Lewis Allegedly Shading a Sober Person for Being at BravoCon

    Jordy Cray drew attention to the fan, describing Jeff’s antics against him, on TikTok.

    @jordycray Let’s hope this was @Jeff Lewis last BravoCon appearance. #bravocon #popculture #realitytv #fyp #andycohen ♬ original sound – jordycray

    Although Jeff’s new show, Still Flipping Out, was announced at BravoCon, rumors have been swirling that the series could be in jeopardy due to his behavior at the event.

    Amid the backlash, Jeff told Us Weekly that Andy Cohen, 57, was “upset” with him.

    “I think that maybe a couple of my jokes were inappropriate and insensitive,” he explained. “I have apologized … I know this guy. We’ve known each other for 18 years. He vents and look, and I sincerely did apologize. Now I gotta give him time to cool off. My experience with him, he’ll get back to me in one to three weeks.”

  • RHOC’s Shannon Beador Shares John Janssen’s New Request to Settle Lawsuit, If She Signed Promissory Note, and What Was in Email, Plus “Falling Out” With Jeff Lewis? Contradictory Statements, and If She’d Sign a Non-Disparagement Agreement

    RHOC’s Shannon Beador Shares John Janssen’s New Request to Settle Lawsuit, If She Signed Promissory Note, and What Was in Email, Plus “Falling Out” With Jeff Lewis? Contradictory Statements, and If She’d Sign a Non-Disparagement Agreement

    Shannon Beador offered an update on John Janssen‘s $75,000 lawsuit against her on Thursday night’s Watch What Happens Live.

    As the 60-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County cast member also addressed rumors of a promissory note and an email about the supposedly loaned money for her facelift, Shannon spoke of her potential feud with Jeff Lewis, 54, revealed if she’d sign a non-disparagement agreement, and shared what would make John, 61, settle his lawsuit against her.

    “I offered him what he wanted in full. He refused to sign a non-disparagement agreement, and I literally just got word from my attorney that he will take my offer if I issue a public statement to tell you all how generous he was,” Shannon revealed on the October 10 episode of WWHL. “I don’t want to cry because this is a fun night, but enough.”

    Regarding claims of a promissory note, Shannon said, “It’s all semantics, and I never signed a promissory note, and that was never my intention.”

    As for an email about the loan, she added, “I did not send him an email saying it was a loan. He did. He sent me a promissory note three days, or a couple of days after he sent me the money … and I went livid. And he never brought it up again.”

    Amid her legal drama with John, who is now engaged to her RHOC co-star, Alexis Bellino, 47, Shannon seemed to be faced with tension with Jeff earlier this month.

    On his radio show, Jeff suggested that there was truth behind the rumors of Shannon mistreating the crew of Love Hotel as he admitted she was not in a good place when she began filming the upcoming Peacock series. However, in response to an alleged feud, Shannon said, “No.”

    “I was just on a show, a dating show for three weeks, and I don’t want to get into it, but the host said some things,” she explained. 

    Also speaking of Jeff and how she told him she never thought of John having heard her DUI crash before telling Heather Dubrow, 55, otherwise, Shannon admitted she often mixes up her words.

    “Often, I say things and I get the wrong words. There was a couple of years ago that I [said] to [Braunwyn Windham-Burke], ‘Don’t say things that I said.’ Like, that’s what I do. So on Jeff Lewis Live, I was super tired, you can hear it in my voice, and he said, ‘Have you ever thought about that?’ And I meant to say, ‘I hadn’t until he brought it up.’ I had thought about it — I hadn’t thought about it. See? Okay,” she shared. “I hadn’t thought about it until Jeff called me 10 days after the DUI and said, ‘Did you think about this?’ And it had never occurred to me. So when I said I had thought about it, I meant to say I hadn’t thought about it. There’s like one letter in there.”

    Shannon was then asked if she would sign a non-disparagement agreement.

    “Absolutely,” she confirmed. “That’s why I proposed it months ago.”

    Also on the episode, Shannon played a game of “Push Play or Call It a Day” in which she was asked if she had any romantic interest in a number of Bravolebrities.

    First up? Captain Jason Chambers, 52, who happened to be a friend of Shannon’s.

    “We are friends, so I’m gonna say, ‘Call it a day,’ but I love him as a person,” she shared.

    As for Shep Rose, 44, Shannon again said, “No,” to the possibility.

    “I’m 60,” she stated.

    Shannon then shot down both Mauricio Umansky, 54, and Paul “PK” Kemsley, 57, explaining that she’s friends with Kyle Richards, 55, and other Housewives.

    “There’s girl code, that some people don’t know about,” she said in an apparent diss against Alexis.

    The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

  • Jeff Lewis Believes Claims of Shannon Being a “Terror” on Set Could Be True, Says He Was “Concerned” About Her Before She Left to Film Love Hotel and Confirms She Wasn’t in a “Great Place”

    Jeff Lewis Believes Claims of Shannon Being a “Terror” on Set Could Be True, Says He Was “Concerned” About Her Before She Left to Film Love Hotel and Confirms She Wasn’t in a “Great Place”

    Jeff Lewis, a longtime friend of Shannon Beador, was concerned about the Real Housewives of Orange County cast member before she headed to Mexico to film the upcoming Peacock series Love Hotel.

    On a recent episode of the Flipping Out alum’s radio show, Jeff, 54, addressed the recent claims the series’ reported host, Joel Kim Booster, 36, made against Shannon, 60, as he confirmed that she wasn’t in a “great place” before filming began, likely due to ex-boyfriend John Janssen‘s recent engagement to Alexis Bellino, 47, and his $75,000 lawsuit against her.

    “I spoke to her either the night, either the night or two nights before she was leaving for Mexico and I didn’t think she was in a great place and I was concerned,” Jeff admitted on SiriusXM Radio’s Jeff Lewis Extended, via X.

    In a since-deleted post shared to his Instagram Story earlier this week, Joel labeled Shannon a “pathetic drunk” as he detailed her alleged on-set behavior.

    “Just because you’re a pathetic drunk on a reality television show best known for a string of failed relationships and a DUI does not give you license to treat the people you work with like they are subhuman. Period,” he wrote. “They will make me delete this but DM me if you’d like to see some videos. Besos!”

    Joel also added, of Shannon’s ex-boyfriend, “I can’t imagine what John Janssen went through. Poor guy.”

    While Jeff didn’t have any firsthand knowledge about what went down between Shannon and the Love Hotel crew, he felt that Shannon may have acted out against them due to stress.

    “I think it’s possible that — and I can only speak for myself — sometimes if I’m dealing with a lot of stress or I’m maybe emotionally not totally, 100 percent stable, you may act out. You may take out your stress, aggression, anxiety, on other people,” he reasoned. “I think it’s possible that this could’ve happened. I do. I just felt like she was not in a great state when I spoke to her.”

    “She’s going through a rough time. She could be not responding well,” he explained.

    After the clip was shared on X, a number of social media users weighed in, many of whom mentioned that Jeff is often one to defend Shannon and make excuses for her behavior — no matter how bad it may be.

    “This is bad if Shannon’s ride or die is saying this,” one person wrote.

    “Bingo!!!! Jeff Lewis makes excuses for her constantly, so for him to say this…….” another agreed.

    “The fact that JEFF LEWIS. The ultimate Shannon Apologist isn’t saying a hard no… Is telling,” added a third.

  • Lala Kent Still Finds It Hard to Trust Men After Relationship with Randall Emmett

    Lala Kent Still Finds It Hard to Trust Men After Relationship with Randall Emmett

    [ad_1]

    “Vanderpump Rules” star Lala Kent opened up to Jeff Lewis on Radio Andy (Ch. 102) about learning to trust men again after her relationship ended with ex-fiancé Randall Emmett.

    Lala broke off her engagement to Randall in October 2021 when she learned Randall was allegedly cheating on her; the two share a daughter, Ocean, who was born in March of that same year. When Jeff asked Lala how long it took her to feel normal again after everything that happened with that relationship, Lala explained that it’s still hard.

    “There are certain things about my situation where I’m not able to talk about them. There’s a reason why I’ve been in a custody situation,” she said, referring to alleged investigations into Randall for child exploitation. “But if we’re just going to talk about the cheating betrayal, I mean, it has taken me a really long time. It’s still really hard for me to go out and trust men.”

    She referred to it as a “luxury” that Randall wasn’t a main cast member on the show, which would’ve forced her to “have really tough conversations” with him in front of an audience.

    “I don’t know how to shut up,” she told Jeff, “so if you put someone in front of me who’s done me very dirty, I’m going off.”

    Upon reflection, Lala admitted that maybe a public confrontation like that on “Vanderpump Rules” would have been good for her. Because of the way her relationship with Randall ended, it’s taken her “a very long time to find closure and heal,” she said.

    “I still don’t have the closure,” she added, as their custody battle continues, “but the healing part I feel like we’re doing really well.”

  • Crystal Kung Minkoff Reveals What Was Cut From Garcelle & Dorit’s Fight on RHOBH, & Talks Sutton’s Meltdown, Plus She Slams Jeff Lewis and Talks Heather Dubrow’s Potential Casting

    Crystal Kung Minkoff revealed what was cut from Garcelle Beauvais’ argument with Dorit Kemsley and other cast members on the latest episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    She also shaded Jeff Lewis, who suggested Crystal was irrelevant on the cast, addressed Heather Dubrow’s potential casting on RHOBH, and shared her thoughts about Sutton Stracke’s controversial reaction to Magic Mike.

    Speaking with Deadline, Crystal addressed why she believes Jeff spoke negatively about her at BravoCon.

    “I think that’s just his style,” she stated. “Normally I take the high road and I don’t say anything but I just felt like … I had to say something and I’m happy he apologized. I wasn’t going to stay quiet anymore and I just thought he needed to know that it was too much.”

    Speaking with Access Hollywood, in a clip shared by @queensofbravo on Instagram, Crystal revealed her text exchange with Jeff after the shady comment.

    “He texted me and he apologized, and I said, ‘Thank you for apologizing because you’re a c**k-sucker,’” said Crystal. “He’s b**chy. He’s a b**chy guy.”

    In her interview with Deadline, Crystal also shared who she connected with at BravoCon. “[Marlo Hampton]’s so lovely,” said Crystal. “I got to spend a lot of time with Candiace [Dillard Bassett] the final night … I really enjoyed speaking with Dorinda [Medley]. I loved talking to Heather Dubrow — we’re going to get dinner together.”

    When asked to share her thoughts about Heather potentially joining RHOBH, Crystal answered, “[I] would love Heather to join the cast. I really enjoyed her — we have a lot of mutual friends and we really connected this week on a level that I didn’t expect … We’ve been texting each other and I just think that she is fabulous and I think that Beverly Hills makes sense for her.”

    The star went on to say, “She’s moving here. She actually bought my friend’s house. I spent a lot of Thanksgivings in that home, so I would love to be back in that house.”

    Crystal’s tagline on the current season – ‘They say wisdom comes with age, but I’m proving otherwise’ – has been interpreted by many fans to mean Crystal lacks wisdom. Addressing the controversy, Crystal commented, “I loved [the tagline]… And then I saw the chatter online. I’m like, ‘Oh, I could see if you read it that way…’ But I think it’s funny. It was my favorite one that I’ve had in three years.”

    The star continued, “It’s like the blue and gold dress. It’s like, which color do you see? I never saw the other color … I still stand by the tagline. I actually love it.”

    Regarding Sutton’s strong reaction to Crystal and Erika Jayne’s on-stage interactions with the Magic Mike performers, Crystal expressed, “I think it was a combination of a lot … I think part of it was that [Sutton] wasn’t called up and she thought, ‘Why did I dress up like this?’ And to this day, she says that’s not what it’s about. She [says] she felt embarrassed for herself, for us, [and] the show was too much. I’m like, ‘I think it was the pants. I think you wanted to go up there.”

    In spite of this, Crystal claimed she had “a good time and I did not want her to ruin the trip for me.”

    The 40-year-old shared that her husband Rob Minkoff did not watch the ‘lap dance’ scene with the performer.

    “We normally watch together but I watched [that scene] privately,” said Crystal, who said she called Rob after filming the episode. “[He told me], ‘Great, have fun. I don’t want to see it.’”

    Crystal then shared what was cut from the on-screen argument between Garcelle and Dorit after the actress shared that she doesn’t trust many of her castmates when it comes to conversations about her kids – after they laughed at last season’s controversial scene in which Erika cursed at Garcelle’s son Jax.

    “They didn’t show it but I actually stood by [Garcelle] in that and I was defending her saying that had this happened to one of your children you might have a different tune,” said Crystal. “I also said that had this happened to my children, I probably wouldn’t forgive anyone, ever. I would try to move on but I don’t think I would ever forget.”

    The star declared that “kids are always off limits,” and she claimed she “one-hundred percent understood where Garcelle was coming from.”

    Addressing where she stands with newbie castmate Annemarie Wiley – amid reports they fought throughout the season – Crystal teased, “We’ll see how the reunion goes.”

    According to the star, Annemarie is “very outspoken” and “likes to make sure her views are out there and that’s going to always ruffle feathers whether they’re good or bad.”

    The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
