  • Shannon Beador Says She Knows Identity of Mystery Blogger on RHOC Finale as Jeff Lewis Reacts and Denies It’s Him

    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.”

  • RHOC’s Tamra Judge Shares DM With Crystal Over Claim Vicki Stole a Costar’s Orange, Plus Addresses Rumors of Heather’s Exit, Shannon Fallout, and Season 20 “New Blood”

    [ad_1]

    Tamra Judge reacted to Crystal Kung-Minkoff claiming Vicki Gunvalson stole an orange from another Real Housewives of Orange County star on Vicki’s podcast on Tuesday.

    While also shading Gretchen Rossi‘s “friend” role on the show, reacting to the suggestion that Heather Dubrow, 56, will not return for season 20, and reflecting on her falling out with Shannon Beador, 61, Tamra explained Shannon’s role in her former feud with Vicki, 63, and spoke of “new blood.”

    “You bet your sweet a** I sent [Crystal] a DM right away,” Tamra, 58, revealed on the December 23 episode of My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast. “I reached out, and I said, ‘Was it my orange?’ and she said, ‘No, it was not.’ She would not tell me who it was, but she says, ‘I just heard it’s somebody else’s.’”

    “Gretchen doesn’t have an orange, not even a clementine. Heather? Do you think Heather’s going to Beverly Hills?” she continued.

    “That would only make sense,” Vicki replied.

    Reflecting on the end of her friendship with Shannon, Tamra said she felt sorry for her co-star after her DUI arrest.

    “I was there for her and we walked the red carpet at BravoCon and she thanked us and did all the stuff and then I found out that she was saying some pretty horrible things about me. Like, wait a minute. I’m doing all this for you. That’s not cool,” Tamra revealed. “I just got to a point where I’m like, I don’t want to be around someone that’s doing that to me. So then we had to go and film a season together.”

    Although Tamra admitted that “it wasn’t nice” to call Shannon a drunk, she claimed she was coming from a place of frustration.

    “You know how hard it is to talk to somebody who will not own anything that they’ve done — no part of it?” she asked. “It’s like, the only reason I’m upset with you and not talking to you is because you were doing horrible things behind my back when I was trying to be nothing but a good friend for 10 years.”

    At the time, Tamra noted that she and Vicki were talking “a lot.” But Vicki noted, “I just got mad at you for being so mean … at times you’ve been mean to everybody.”

    In her defense, Tamra explained, “I think if you’ve been on the show for a certain, long period of time, you’re gonna be mean to people once in a while. You’re gonna get in fights with people.

    Also on the podcast, Tamra reacted to people warning Vicki that she would turn on her.

    “I do not turn on [Vicki]. It was Shannon. Let’s be honest. Shannon was doing what she normally does. She divides and conquers and does all the things and tries to separate people,” she clarified. 

    Then, after noting that she and Vicki “never got into a fight,” Tamra explained why the Tres Amigas Tour was called off after Shannon’s DUI.

    “I was more concerned about her, like, this isn’t a good thing. To maybe just take a beat and kind of absorb what just happened to you, so I was just thinking of business mind, like is that really what you want to do?” she reasoned. “It was fun while it lasted.”

    Looking ahead to season 20, Tamra said, “We need new blood.”

    “Bravo announced there was going to be a shakeup,” she added.

    The Real Housewives of Orange County season 20 is expected to begin filming sometime early next year.

  • Tamra Judge Shares New Details on RHOC Finale Call Drama, Talks Having PTSD, Gretchen’s “Gross” Posts Being “Brushed Over,” & Cast Gang-Up, Plus If She’s Spoken to Andy Since Reunion and What Wasn’t Shown

    [ad_1]

    Tamra Judge admitted to getting a heads-up about the Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 finale call, during which she was accused of leaking stories to blogs, on Vicki Gunvalson‘s podcast on Tuesday.

    As she also addressed the way Gretchen Rossi‘s controversial “liked” posts were brushed over amid a cast gang-up against her, cited the support of Katie Ginella, 41, and confirmed whether she’d spoken to Andy Cohen, 57, since the reunion, Tamra, 58, admitted to having post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from the show and explained how she handles her haters.

    “You think I know? Why would I be behind it? That’s nasty. That’s dirty. Nobody will give me an answer on it. I don’t know who it is and there’s nothing I can do about it,” Tamra said of who made the finale phone call on the December 23 episode of My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast.

    According to Tamra, executive producer Alex Baskin called her before the episode aired and said, “Hey, listen, I don’t want to ambush you, but something’s going to come up.”

    “So the entire time I’m there, I’m like, ‘What’s coming?’ It’s like the worst feeling in the entire world, and then it came … the way it all went down was very disgusting to me. It was very much brushed over, these posts that had been liked by Gretchen, this hatred, and all this stuff,” Tamra noted. 

    Because there was more focus on Tamra defending herself against supposedly leaked stories than Gretchen’s posts, she felt even more ganged up on by her castmates.

    “We’re just going to ignore this? We’re gonna act like this didn’t happen?” she wondered. “And then you’re gonna go after me for 30 or 40 minutes on this stuff? … It was painful. Katie was the only one that came to my dressing room afterwards and sat there … and talked to me, and I was crying … [The others] all went to dinner with Gretchen.”

    “But at the end of the day, I know what contract I signed. They can do whatever they want to me,” she added.

    While it has been suggested that Gretchen’s “liked” posts were modified in some way, Tamra insisted they were real.

    “For years [they’d been floating around]. It was all over Reddit. It was all over Twitter. It was all over Instagram. It was all over the place, and some of them were pretty freaking gross. Really gross,” she fumed.

    After Vicki, 63, pointed out that Gretchen had defended herself, saying she scrolls and “likes” everything, Tamra asked, “What is your algorithm? That’s what you have to ask. I don’t have things like that in my algorithm.”

    Looking back on RHOC season 19, Tamra said she was a victim of a gang-up from Shannon Beador, 61, Emily Simpson, 49, Jennifer Pedranti, 48, and, at one time, Gina Kirschenheiter, 41.

    “It was like, ‘What did I do to you, Emily? What did I do to you, Gina? What are you guys doing?’” she recalled. “There was such a huge division in the cast this last year and I think that is not good, when there’s people trying to [sabotage] or ice somebody out … It’s like, ‘Just do your job and don’t worry about anybody else.’”

    As for whether she’d seen Andy since the reunion, Tamra confirmed she saw him at BravoCon.

    “[And] he did call me the day after the reunion to check on me. He’s always been very nice to me,” she added.

    Still, Tamra revealed she experienced PTSD.

    “There was a huge hate train last year, and it was devastating to me. But I feel like I wasn’t shown in the best light,” she explained. “I was getting death threats and hate. I had PTSD coming back to the show, and coming back to the show, I was still very scared and nervous about saying anything because I’m like, ‘I said so many great things and nice things,’ but it wasn’t shown.”

    Also on the podcast, Tamra said that when it comes to her haters, she doesn’t let them affect her.

    “I’ve had talks with production and people at Bravo and they’re not very influenced by what people are saying on social media because the hardcore fans that are out there that are loud, very loud, they will hate you one minute and then love you the next. They will want you fired and then when you’re fired, they want you back,” she reasoned.

    “I don’t read the comments … it’s a time waste, and then it’s also not good for your mental health … I don’t want to,” she added.

    The Real Housewives of Orange County season 20 is expected to begin filming sometime early next year.

  • RHOC Reunion Part 3 Recap: Tamra Threatens to Sue Gretchen After She Accuses Her of Being Behind Controversial Liked Posts & Feuds With Emily as More Allegations Surface, Plus Jenn Confronts Katie Over Convo With Friend Nicole

    [ad_1]

    The OC ladies have been trippin’ (quite literally) this season.  As the reunion for season 19 of The Real Housewives of Orange County concludes, it seems like a happy ending is not in the cards.  Gretchen denies liking homophobic posts, despite following accounts that discuss that hate rhetoric, and Tamra gets accused of leaking content from the season.

    When confronted, not only does Tamra deny involvement, but she becomes infuriated. After 15 years on the show, Tamra has never once had this sort of problem, but she finds it interesting that once Gretchen and Slade come back on, issues seem to appear from thin air…

    From New Orleans, to Amsterdam, this group of women have traveled around… and they brought the drama with them. But they did manage to have some fun, mainly with recreational drugs. Shannon STILL believes she heard the OC theme song when she was on ‘shrooms and Andy lives for Heather wakin’ n bakin’. Speaking of Heather, she discusses the cathartic experience of spreading her father’s ashes and is grateful Emily was there to give the support she needed.  

    Andy brings up the emotional final dinner in Amsterdam when the ladies confront Gretchen’s alleged social media actions. Gretchen explains that there is no excuse for liking anything with “offensive sentiment” and she “completely denounces” anything that seems homophobic or transphobic.  Gretchen claims she did not recognize any of the posts, but admits that she does follow the accounts.

    Gretchen blames liking said posts on mindlessly scrolling without looking at the content of the post. WHAT.  Tamra points out that Gretchen unfollowed over two hundred hate accounts when she got back from Amsterdam.  Does that make Gretchen look guilty?

    Tamra wonders why Gretchen would be following someone with that type of content to begin with, but Gretchen plays dumb. She claims she follows both left and right wing accounts, especially around the 2020 election, and Andy reminds the group it is a free country-Gretchen can follow whoever. 

    Heather explains that after 14 years of knowing Gretchen, she has never seen Gretchen in that light. However, she has heard “rumblings” about Gretchen and this type of rhetoric. Heather reminds Gretchen that if she follows these accounts, her For You page is going to be full of hate. Tamra printed out posts from two days ago that shows Gretchen STILL liking this type of content. Gretchen calls it a “good lesson” and shares that she unliked many old posts.

    In order to prove to Heather that she was set up, Gretchen hired a cyber analysis company. The 25 page report confirms that the most egregious post may be a combo of AI and other imaging software. On top of that, the analysis found links between the hate accounts and Tamra!! 

    Tamra denies this wholeheartedly and explains that she has known about this situation since 2022. Gretchen claims someone called her to let her know Tamra and Gina were plotting to take her down with this hate rhetoric.  Andy wonders why Tamra would bring this up after resolving the issues with Gretchen. But Tamra is engaged.  She calls Gretchen a “homophobic b*tch,” but Gretchen believes that Tamra is the one putting everything out into the press. 

    In the end, Gina wishes that she brought up the post situation a different way. She apologizes to Gretchen since it caused some public drama.

    Heather explains that she felt as though Tamra was trying to drop the Gretchen post into her lap to make her run with it, but Heather chose not to take the bait. Tamra wonders why she is getting blamed for Gretchen liking homophobic stuff. When Emily jumps, wondering why Tamra would bring Gina into the mix, Tamra calls Emily an a*shole and seethes with anger. 

    Tamra reminds Emily, “by the way sweetheart, we had to switch you back on because when you got off, it [your podcast] tanked.” Tamra feels like she can come for Emily like that because she called her an a*shole, but the reality is, Tamra called Emily that FIRST! Tamra is always the victim. She misremembers, claiming she has always been nice to Emily, but calling her Shrek does not seem nice to me…

    Seeing remorse from Emily, Gina, and Heather makes Gretchen feel a little bit better after they all attacked her for liking homophobic posts.  Emily searched for credible sources of this egregious post and came up empty.  A screen shot is not clear evidence. Katie, who was not there, calls this situation heartbreaking as she is an ally to the LGBTQ+ community.

    Gretchen is (sort of) crying because this is not who she is. She calls it a personal attack and feels like it was plotted and planned.  In fact, it brought up PTSD of naked wasted with all the plotting and planning. Gretchen claims that Tamra disseminates information to purposely retaliate.  Remind me again why Katie got banned from hanging out with the group when they’re doing the same thing?!

    Andy shows Tamra that the cyber analysis is linking accounts back to her and, as Gretchen puts it, her “criminal network.” Tamra states that she never leaked information to bloggers…which does not age well once she sees the post filming clip with an anonymous caller.

    Katie looks like she has seen a ghost and Tamra remains cool as a cucumber as they listen to the tipster shell out information that only those filming would know.  According to the source, Tamra was leaking information all season long and the entire content was known by this person. Evidently, Tamra clearly wanted Gina there to do her dirty work this season.

    Tamra wants to know who this guy is.  Andy reminds the group that they all must agree to keep things confidential about the season. Tamra calls this an ambush and points out that after 15 years, there has never been a problem… until Gretchen came back on.  

    Shannon shares that the anonymous person told them Tamra has been doing this for years. The tipster even knew about Shannon’s up fronts drama, info that was not privy to most. Now Tamra seems to find herself in the same seat that Katie was in all season long. Katie is happy to be clean on this one, since the only people who knew about this information filmed the remainder of the season.

    Tamra believes that Slade is working overtime to make her look bad and many people argue that the tone and cadence of the anon voice gives off Slade vibes.  

    Tamra shrieks and promises on her kids’ lives that she would never do this. Heather finds this concerning, but Tamra reminds everyone that the minute Gretchen and Slade are back in the picture, fishy things happen.  Gina feels set up by Tamra, but Tamra thinks that Gina should feel set up by Slade. Andy reminds Tamra that Slade wouldn’t know the information because Gretchen did not even know it.

    Shannon muses if Tamra’s “orgasmic face” on finale night had anything to do with this whole situation.  According to Shannon, it was almost like Tamra was smug in knowing she’s got Gretchen backed in the corner.

    Tamra explains there is no proof (other than the exact content and storyline from the season). Gina points out that if Tamra told anyone anything about the season, even with no mal intent, information is getting out there somehow. 

    Heather wants all of this to stop. Careers, kids, bloggers- it should all be off-limits.  This show should solely be about conflict and resolution between the group.  She reminds everyone this show is not a game of Survivor. Emily jumps in (what else is new?) to say it is imperative not to deal with outside people since it is hard enough as it is within the group. 

    If Gretchen could take back one thing she said this season it would be blabbing about Tamra’s alleged affair. Shannon apologizes once again to Katie for comparing her to Alexis and Katie regrets saying something about Jenn. 

    Heather wishes she was more vocal about the fatty photo and Emily goes back to last year and apologizes to Katie once again.  Gina regrets having asked Katie what she was wearing and she feels bad for saying she does not think Heather is funny.  Tamra regrets sharing the picture of Jenn and Jenn apologizes to both Shannon and Katie.  

    For Katie and Jenn, they need to have a conversation re: Nicole, a friend of Jenn’s. Apparently, Katie asked if Ryan was involved with Matt’s bookie gig. Jenn lets Katie know she can’t do things like this in true friendships, but Katie reminds Jenn that she had not spoken to her for weeks. Katie stands firm, despite Jenn’s accusations.

    Heather leads the ladies in a path to clarity with a toast and season 19 wraps.  Tamra is reeling, trying to claim her innocence to Andy, wondering where all of this information came from. She leans on Katie for support, which is rich considering Katie was also blacklisted this season for doing exactly what Tamra is accused of. 

    Katie reminds Tamra that she needs to remember who is in her corner. Tamra calls it retaliation, but Gina is headstrong that there were things discussed that only Gina and Tamra know…pointing all arrows back to Tamra. SO, is she guilty? Or are Slade and Gretchen truly behind this?

  • Katie Ginella Reacts to RHOC Costars Gretchen & Jen Gushing Over Her, Addresses Claim Her Friendship With Tamra Judge is “Strategic”

    [ad_1]

    Credit: Bravo

    Katie Ginella shared which co-star she’s willing to reconcile with on Real Housewives of Orange County, and she addressed claims that her friendship with Tamra Judge is “strategic.” Katie also suggested that the finale scene against Tamra was an attempt to “stir the pot” to “mask” other “indiscretions.”

    In the recent finale, Jennifer Pedranti, Shannon Beador, and Gina Kirschenheiter spoke on the phone with an anonymous source who claimed that Tamra leaked info about the season to content creators after slamming Katie for doing the same thing.

    In an interview with Virtual Reali-Tea at BravoCon, Katie was told that Gretchen and Jennifer recently gushed over Katie, claiming they’re now cordial and that they all took a photo together.

    Katie looked surprised. “I thought I just saw a pig [flying],” she said.

    She was then asked if she would ever revisit those friendships.

    “I will with Jenn for sure,” she said.

    “Why Jenn and not Gretchen?” asked co-host Evan Real.

    “Because I’m not a homophobe,” said Katie, who was later asked if she believes Gretchen ‘liked’ offensive posts, as discussed in the season. “Some are still liked and commented on. I’ve seen them on my phone.”

    In a separate interview for ET, host Brice Sander asked Katie about the claim that her friendship with Tamra is “strategic” so she can “stay on the show.”

    “I’m not sure how to answer that,” she said. “It’s not strategic. When I was paused from filming, she was the first one to call me the very next day, not Jenn, and asked how I was doing, and she didn’t even know what the fan reaction would be. So she literally took a chance on bringing me back in, filming with me again, and it’s been a very organic type of relationship.”

    Later on, she addressed the finale scene about Tamra.

    “Sometimes when people are guilty of something, they [will] stir the pot on something else to mask their indiscretions,” she said, referring to Gina, Shannon, and Jenn. “I think that there’s no proof. We didn’t see anything leak … If the guy really did this and heard this, then who is it? Come out and say it with your whole chest. Let’s hear you. Let’s meet you.”

  • RHOC Reunion Part 2: Gretchen Claims Matt Said Eddie Is Gay, Katie Blames Jenn for Lost Paycheck, and Tamra Admits Shading Jenn With ‘Fatty’ Photo as Jenn Fires Back Over Affair Rumor

    [ad_1]

    The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion continues. Tamra seems to be the common denominator in many of these arguments, but when Katie’s husband, Matt, arrives, the focus changes.  Gretchen’s tactic is to deny and Jenn‘s is to forget anything that ever happened.  Katie is tired of the lies and Matt is ready to set the record straight about “holding the line.”

    Tamra is forever bringing up old dirt about people. In an attempt to defend herself, Tamra freaks out, claiming she does not even talk about Gretchen.  Andy finally steps in to move the show along and switches from Gretchen vs. Tamra to Jenn vs. Tamra.  Look who always seems to be involved in the drama…

    Jenn and Tamra have no relationship because, according to Jenn, Tamra is hard to navigate. Jenn believes Tamra always tries to make people think Jenn is not who she pretends to be. But Tamra feels like Jenn focused on her because she wanted to be on the show.  It’s odd that Tamra is bringing this up now, considering she never appeared to be on bad terms with Katie when she first came onto the show.

    Tamra rattles off all the ways Jenn tries to be like her, but can we actually believe any of them?  For starters, Jenn was never Tamra’s neighbor, considering Tamra moved off the block around the time Jenn moved in. Jenn even points out that Tamra invited her to do a fitness competition; therefore, she was not trying to single-white-female-Tamra!

    Tamra denies being jealous of Gretchen and Jenn, especially when it comes to their looks.  It is odd that Tamra would bring up the infamous fatty photo of Jenn, though.  Heather believes there was no “ill-intent” coming from Tamra, but  Tamra admits she showed the photo to be shady.  Andy jumps in to remind Tamra that there is an OC look, so it’s probably not as deep as Tamra thinks it is- so no, Jenn is NOT trying to be Tamra.

    During an episode, Tamra insinuated that Jenn had an affair at her old yoga studio with an instructor, but Jenn denies this allegation. Tamra simply hears rumors and puts them into the universe.  Jenn admits that she did have an affair and now she is with Ryan and wonders why Tamra’s go-to is to just throw something mean out there to make it stick.

    Although Jenn does not have a set wedding date, the women, especially Emily,  have her back. When it comes to Ryan “oversexualizing” Jenn, she has some insecurities. Jenn worries that this yearning will die out.  Her co-parenting is finally evening out and Will even thanked Ryan for taking the kids in. 

    Gina talks about the questionable friendship between Shannon and Jenn. Jenn claims they are truly tight and is forever indebted to Shannon for throwing her a bridal shower (that she never really wanted). Gina admits to being salty over Shannon’s attention to Jenn, but Shannon wonders why Gina would need to say she is “worried” about her actions.

    Heather is annoyed with Gina because they are both putting themselves back into the world, working once again.  When Gina made fun of Heather’s comedic career, Heather felt hurt.  It seems like any time Heather mentions her career, the other ladies sh*t all over it.   Gina admits that this was an error and apologizes, despite doubling-down in her interview.

    They take a break for lunch and Katie’s husband, Matt, arrives on set. She gets a little emotional talking about how Jenn denied calling her con-artist.  Matt scoffs at this, claiming Jenn is the one getting married to a guy who did a deal with the feds!  

    When Shannon goes to visit Jenn, we learn about a phone call Jenn got from Ryan.  Ryan let Jenn know that Katie made it a point to talk to a friend of theirs named Nicole.  Katie apparently asked Nicole if Ryan was involved in Matt’s illegal bookie business, which is an odd thing to ask ANYONE.  Jenn is furious once she finds this out because she knows Katie was just trying to get dirt to use against her.

    Katie is finally ready for the truth to come to light.  She is irked because she always defended Jenn, but Jenn seemingly hung Katie out to dry when sh*t hit the fan. When it comes to the racially insensitive video Gretchen and Jenn posted, Jenn is angry that Katie came at her.  “How dare you think that it’s racist?” Jenn questions Katie, stating that Katie should know Jenn’s intentions better than that.

    On top of that, Jenn never officially apologized for this until today.  Even Gretchen said she was sorry…sure it was a Chat GPT message, but it was done.  Katie get can’t over how she was not only offended, but then blamed by Jenn for the backlash.

    Jenn states that Katie, apparently, always had an ear to the ground and always knew things about the ladies and their families. Katie is hell bent on this roofie story and wonders why Jenn is not backing her up.

    Andy takes a moment to reset the naked-wasted drama. Last year, Ryan, Jenn, Matt, Katie, Slade, and Gretchen went to dinner (before Gretchen was even on the show).  Katie alleges that Gretchen said she went to the hospital after Tamra drugged her that evening so long ago. Jenn seemingly only remembers SOME details, then claimed she didn’t know anything about it, but knew details the next day.  Seems fishy.

    Gretchen told Jenn she was so sick she probably could have gone to the hospital.  Gretchen understands that her “miscommunication” reliving the traumatic experience made her say words she did not intend.  Shannon claims we are all guilty of misspeaking, but Gretchen saying she DID go to the hospital is certainly not misspeaking, according to this group. After all, Gretchen did pass the lie detector test because she did not go to the hospital, yet Katie said Gretchen told her she had a positive toxicology report. 

    Slade, Ryan, and Matt were invited to come to the reunion, but the only one who comes is Matt. Matt jumps right in (despite shaking) talking about the 911 text message he received from Slade. According to Matt, Slade was directing him to tell Katie to “hold the line” with Gretchen about the naked wasted account.

    Matt claims that Gretchen and Slade chose to tell this story about Tamra to highlight just how dangerous Tamra can be.  He goes on to say this story went into great detail about a drugging and a hospital stay.

    As Gretchen gets backed into a corner, she throws out that Matt said some messed up stuff that night at dinner, too, including Matt saying, “the second I met Eddie, I knew he was gay.” However, Katie claims that Gretchen is the one who said that to begin with!

    Matt threatens Gretchen with, “do you wanna get into it?” multiple times as Gretchen interrupts left and right.  Matt says there are phone logs and records proving Slade’s need to manipulate the narrative. Gretchen explains that Slade thinks Matt and Katie are not only talking to bloggers, but making up stories about Gretchen and Slade! 

    Andy points out that if Gretchen actually went to the hospital so long ago, it would have been a HUGE deal.  Katie knows Gretchen lied about going, but she is not the one responsible for the lie.  It seems like Gretchen got caught up in the tale and perhaps embellished it a bit for her audience? It is interesting that Slade is not there to share his side of the story. 

    Matt points out that Gretchen is Slade’s fourth Housewife, but Gretchen corrects him. She is his third.  Katie claims that Jenn messed with her paycheck and livelihood when she let Katie go down in flames.  This enrages Jenn.  Jenn wants Katie to start taking ownership of the situation.  And, at the end of the day, Jenn lost a friend in Katie…

  • RHOC’s Alexis Bellino Fires Back After Shannon Comments on Her Wedding, Hopes She Can “Finally Move On” From Talking About John

    [ad_1]

    Credit: Instagram

    Alexis Bellino reacted to Shannon Beador complimenting her wedding to ex John Janssen. Alexis said she hopes Shannon can “finally move on” and leave “my husband’s name out of her mouth” because it makes her look “like an idiot.”

    On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, Shannon congratulated Alexis after her wedding to John, who sued Shannon for $75,000 after their split. Shannon expressed well wishes, and she said the ceremony looked “beautiful.” She also repeated this sentiment at the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion.

    On Reality with The King, Alexis was asked how she felt about Shannon’s compliment.

    “I don’t really know. And I mean, I’m glad that it feels like she can finally move on,” said Alexis. “And hopefully now next season — if she’s back on the show — she’ll leave my husband’s name out of her mouth, because it makes her look kind of like an idiot to bring him up this many years later … after he’s like fully married.”

    “So hopefully that has been a lesson for her watching it play back this season,” she went on. “But I did feel like she meant it, because there’s no one that can say my wedding was beautiful and think they’re lying, because it was beautiful. It was one of the most beautiful things that actually came together. You know, when you’re creating the vision … of a wedding, you don’t know till the day of. You think you have this vision, but it might not look like [it]. All the suits … and dresses that we had and all the stuff we were trying to put together, I wouldn’t know until we got everybody together for that picture.”

    During the reunion, Tamra Judge suggested that Alexis’ wedding was one of the best she’s ever attended. On the podcast, Alexis said she “appreciated” how Tamra was “sensitive” about Shannon “sitting there” during her answer.

    “But Tamra’s asked a question in front of everybody and has to answer honestly. And I know that Tamra held back saying a lot of what she really wanted to say about the wedding, just in respect for Shannon’s … difficulty moving forward with it all during the season,” she said. “But yeah, so I do believe Shannon, that she thought it was gorgeous. Because it was.”

  • RHOC Reunion Recap: Gretchen Calls Tamra a “F—king Liar” After Tamra is Called Out for Bringing Up Dirt on Cast, Plus Tamra Tells Shannon to Shut Up, Katie Confronts Emily, and Gina Apologizes to Katie

    [ad_1]

    The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion begins for season 19. Part one brings Katie back onto our screens after being missing from the latter half of the episodes. It also brings a “new” Tamra, which is laughable since all she does is fly off the handle any time Shannon speaks. But when Gretchen joins the group, she is ready to clear up some of the lies and set the record straight with Tamra.

    Andy greets all of the Housewives, and we learn that Shannon is fresh off a week at the Golden Door. Heather is happy about her quick commute for the reunion, and Emily explains that despite having a rough season, she managed to lose 25-30 pounds. Gina is loving the real estate business, and Katie is thrilled to be on set. Jenn (thankfully) was not dressed by Ryan, and Tamra promises she won’t be quitting today (yet). She explains that she is in better spirits because Teddi has zero tumors detected. 

    Tamra wants to be less reactive, but even Andy feels like Tamra’s behavior was not much different than the way she acted in the past. Tamra DID attend Alexis’ wedding and admits she feels weird talking about how beautiful it was in front of Shannon. Because Jenn chose Shannon over Alexis, she was uninvited and then reinvited. Exhausting.

    Shannon mutters that she did not get the grace that Tamra always asks for. She refers to Tamra as “Tamra Grudge” for the way she behaved all season. Tamra explains that Alexis said that Shannon was trying to ice Tamra out to try and get her off the show, but Shannon scoffs at this. Katie loves a chance to throw someone under the bus, so she calls Shannon out. Apparently, Jenn told Katie that Shannon called a producer about Tamra, but Andy debunks this rumor.

    When it comes to NOT trusting Tamra with sensitive information, Heather explains that she is a “historical friend” of Tamra’s. Her inconsistent and unpredictable behavior is what makes Heather a bit leery. After all, Tamra throws people’s secrets in their faces to hurt them. Take, for instance, when Tamra brought up Shannon’s dad’s drinking habits on screen. Tamra wonders why it’s okay for Shannon to discuss her familial drinking back in 2020, but when she brings it up, she gets in trouble.

    Shannon gets emotional, and Tamra claims she was not trying to single her dad out, since it was not her place at all. Jenn wonders when Tamra might look in the mirror and realize the issues are all stemming from HER. Tamra’s plan is to stay calm, apologize, and take accountability.

    Katie was accused of “stirring a pot of deception” this season. The viewers rallied around Katie after the lie detector episode, and it is clear that the women are shocked by the support Katie is receiving.

    Katie is still claiming she only sent the voice memo of Shannon freaking out to her husband, Matt, but Alexis also said she heard the recording. Before Shannon has the chance to question Katie, Tamra jumps in and brings up how Shannon filmed Vicki back in the day without her knowing it. Shannon claims this was done for safety during a fight between Vicki and her husband, but that’s a prime example of Tamra being Tamra and dredging up the past.

    Last year at the reunion, Emily brought up Katie’s custody battle with her children. Katie still wonders why Emily thought that would EVER be an okay thing to do and doesn’t understand why she has to explain herself 12 years later. Emily is tired of Katie using bloggers and journalists to fight her battles, and Katie apologizes for what occurred. 

    Jenn is still suffering from amnesia anytime she is in the hot seat, and she can’t remember saying Katie was a con artist. She merely thinks things do not add up with Katie.

    Katie told US Weekly that she felt set up and believes Emily was behind the whole lie detector situation. According to Emily, Katie said on camera that she would take a lie detector test. Emily admits a lie detector is ~36% accurate, and Emily’s only input was that the women come up with the questions anonymously. Emily denies setting Katie up and states she already knows Katie is lying — no machine needs to figure that out.

    Tamra points out that Emily says a lot of things in her confessionals about her, but she does not say the snide comments to her face. When Shannon comes in to remind Tamra that she makes snide comments too, Tamra jumps down her throat. Emily apologizes for saying Tamra never had girlfriends, but I think her fingers are crossed.

    Gina addresses the alleged racist comments about Katie’s clothing. Gina feels like it may have triggered a trauma in Katie, and Gina says she is sorry. Katie thinks it seemed inappropriate and denies calling her the R-word; rather, it had undertones of that type of behavior. Katie is the first Asian on RHOC in 18 years, and so she does not take any of this lightly. Katie accepts Gina’s apology, and Shannon gets in on this apology tour. Katie hopes there is a chance to move forward.

    In the meantime, Gretchen is prepping to clear up all the BS. She continues to deny saying that Tamra drugged her, and she is ready to show them that Gretchers means business.

    Emily can barely hold it together as she talks about her son Luke. Thanks to some viewer moms, Emily was alerted to PANDAS, a condition that can develop within a kid after having strep throat. Luke had a bad case of strep throat in January, and all of his symptoms are associated with this, especially as a child on the spectrum. She goes on to explain that Luke is going to have laser treatment on his brain to reduce the swelling. When it comes to her relationship with Shane, Emily calls it solid, but she wishes she had more emotional support. The Wife Swap episode did help her open her eyes to how much Shane does in their household. 

    Jenn gets to share that Dawson graduated from boot camp, despite passing out, and Tamra had a conversation and a HUG with her estranged daughter, Sidney. Shannon’s daughter is still traveling in Europe.

    It’s been 12 years since we’ve seen Gretchen (Jon-Benet Ramsey or Pink Elsa) on this stage. Gretchen explains that she is an influencer as her main source of income and that Slade is a consultant and sits on the Liberace foundation board (what?!). Guess Tamra can’t be responsible for Slade not having work…

    When it comes to Gretchen and Slade’s relationship, Heather makes it clear that their finances are no one’s business, but because of her reservations about his financial situation, it seemed like the proposal was fake. Andy even admits he thought Gretchen would want to get married on TV and have Bravo pay for the wedding. Tamra muses, “In God’s eyes, don’t you think you should be married?” Gretchen retorts that they had a ceremony… just no legal paperwork.

    Gretchen wishes that she had not brought up the Tamra affair rumor (which has been denied by all parties), but Tamra calls BS. Emily is irritated because Tamra and Gretchen called a truce, and then this happened. The 17-year feud with Tamra has been exhausting. Gretchen apologizes, but she points out that the alleged affair is in the press. It’s weird that Tamra is the only one who can bring up old dirt on people, and Tamra actually proves this point TWICE while talking to Andy. Shannon calls it “pure hypocrisy” before Tamra bites her head off. Looks like Tamra’s plan to stay calm, apologize, and take accountability can go right out the window as she goes back and forth with Gretchen about who is the worst liar…

  • RHOC’s Gretchen Rossi Explains Her Lack of Reaction to Claims of ‘Liking’ Anti-LGBTQ Posts as Tamra Reveals What Made it “Worse” & Emily Shares What Was “Concerning”

    [ad_1]

    Gretchen Rossi was accused of “liking” a series of controversial posts, including homophobic messages and anti-abortion rights statements, on Thursday’s finale episode of the 19th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County, and after the show aired, the cast commented on her “concerning” lack of a reaction.

    As Gretchen, 47, explained why she didn’t have much to say after the accusations were made, her co-stars, including Emilly Simpson, 49, Tamra Judge, 58, and Heather Dubrow, 56, raised suspicions as Shannon Beador, 61, attempted to defend her.

    “I was so confused because, in my heart, I’m like, ‘There’s no way I would’ve liked a post like that.’ What am I supposed to say to this? I know fundamentally in my heart what I feel and how I believe, so, but it’s like, how are you supposed to defend that in that moment?” Gretchen wondered on the October 30 episode of the RHOC: After Show. “I was legitimately in shock and confused. And then it just got weirder and weirder and weirder.”

    “I thought you would have come unhinged if you knew in your soul that it was not you,” Jennifer Pedranti, 48, replied.

    Meanwhile, Emily, who said she would have been “livid” if similar accusations were made against her, expected Gretchen to lash out at Tamra.

    “I thought that her reaction would’ve been, ‘F*ck you, Tamra. This is you creating bullsh*t about me.’ And that’s what I thought the reaction might be, and then I was gonna sit and analyze that. But there was no reaction from her,” she noted as Tamra added that Gretchen’s lack of a reaction “made it worse.”

    “If someone was accusing me of something, you just want to go, ‘How can I prove that this is ridiculous, that this is so not true?’” Heather reasoned.

    As for what else raised a red flag for Emily, she gave a nod to Gretchen’s chat with Slade Smiley, 51, as she questioned who Gretchen was.

    “The other things that was concerning for me is that she showed no emotion or really any kind of reaction until after she spoke to Slade. I don’t know where you land because I can’t tell what’s genuinely you and what’s Slade guiding you,” she explained.

    Elsewhere, Shannon said she “can’t imagine” that Gretchen did what she’s accused of.

    “I’ve seen a kind, devoted mom, [a] faith-based gal, and a girl who has a lot of friends in the LGBTQ community. So I don’t know. I’m waiting with you to see what happens,” she told Heather. “Something doesn’t make sense about all of it.”

    Shannon then noted that everyone reacts differently to different scenarios.

    “Shannon Beador laughs. Gretchen just was blindsided and like, ‘What?’ And some people are [deer] in the [headlights] and some people go, and they’re very vocal about what’s going on. So I don’t want to judge her based on her reaction,” she concluded.

    The three-part Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 reunion begins next Thursday, November 6, at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • RHOC’s Shannon Beador Addresses Alexis Wedding Drama, Tamra Saying Jenn Has to Follow Shannon’s Rules, & Vicki Having Alexis on Podcast, Plus Possible Katie Friendship & Reunion

    [ad_1]

    Shannon Beador appeared on Thursday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, where she addressed Tamra Judge‘s claims regarding her supposed rules for her friends and revealed whether she told Jennifer Pedranti to skip the recent wedding of Alexis Bellino and John Janssen.

    After her friendship with Jenn, 48, was called into question on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Shannon, 62, commented on Vicki Gunvalson, 63, welcoming Alexis to her podcast, shared if she’s open to a friendship with Katie Ginella, 41, teased the upcoming reunion, and more.

    “Everyone can make their own choices as to who they want to be friends with,” Shannon stated on the October 23 episode of WWHL after being asked about Tamra, 58, saying she felt bad for Jenn because people have to obey Shannon’s rules if they want to be friends with her.

    “Jenn and I are great friends. I’m friends actually, with pretty much everyone on the cast, except one,” she continued, proceeding to deny that she had told Jenn not to go to Alexis’ wedding.

    “You can see at Tamra’s cake decorating party, she brought it up and I said, ‘Are you going?’ And she said, ’No.’ And I said, ’Thank you,’” she recalled. “But in the end, Alexis did invite her on the day of.”

    While Shannon was blindsided when John broke up with her in late 2022, she said that “a long time” had passed, which has allowed her to move on. 

    “Congratulations. I’ve said publicly, it looked beautiful. It looked like a really pretty wedding. So, good luck,” she told the couple. 

    As for Vicki having Alexis on her podcast, Shannon confirmed her friend reached out to her first.

    “She called me the day that it was happening and told me that it was … Once again, it’s been two years now, so I’m good. I know that where I am in my life has never been better, so I’m fine with Alexis talking to whoever she wants to,” she explained. 

    During a game in which she was asked if she was closing the door on certain things, Shannon revealed that while a Tres Amigas reunion was “not possible,” nor was making peace with Alexis and John, she was open to a future friendship with Katie.

    “What happened was a lot for me. I felt very invaded [by Katie’s secret audio recording] because we were so close at the time she did it. Um, but you know, I’m on a housewife show, so I’ll say never say never,” she shared.

    Also not possible was a reconciliation with Love Hotel‘s Earl “Earl the Pearl” Thompson, 59.

    “That’s shut. That was shut a year ago. So maybe stop using my photos when you’re trying to post things,” she advised, before whispering, “I shouldn’t have said that.”

    Moving on to Gina Kirschenheiter, 41, Shannon was asked about her castmate saying she pushed her away because she held her accountable.

    “Well, we had a talk about that too because she was upset that I didn’t … you know, by the way, I wanted to throw a nice luncheon,” Shannon replied, changing the subject. “And I thought, ‘Let’s do it for Jenn.’ And everyone’s like, ‘Why are we going to this?’ Ugh, why did Tamra have a cake-baking party after she flipped [Gretchen Rossi] off? We have events.”

    When a fan wanted to know if Shannon would ever be able to trust Tamra, who was known for a pattern of “rage, regret, and repeat,” again, Shannon suggested she would not.

    “I think that I’ve come to a good place with her where I can film with her and I can even laugh with her sometimes. But I will never be her close friend again, and that is me making a healthy choice,” she explained. 

    As for the reunion, Shannon said that while she asked herself, “Should I have said that?,” after the taping, she felt that it was a “good reunion.”

    “You said a lot. You did,” Andy Cohen, 57, shared as Shannon asked, “Isn’t that the point?”

    “Yes. I mean it in a good way,” he confirmed, wondering who was in the hot seat the most.

    “Tamra and Gretchen,” Shannon replied.

    Also on the live airing, Shannon shared her rose and thorn of season 19.

    “I think that my rose clearly is that this season was more fun for me and the fact that I was able to develop very strong friendships with a lot of the girls that I didn’t think that I would and my thorn, it’s a thorn with like, nice things around it, is that now I have twice as much poop to clean up with two dogs,” she revealed.

    Later on Thursday night, on the WWHL: After Show, Shannon was asked if she believed there was any merit to what Katie said during her meeting with Tamra.

    “I’m just gonna say that we all have misspoke. There was a year where I said, ‘Don’t accuse me of things I do.’ Well, of course, that’s not what I meant. I [meant] ‘don’t do.’ And so I do not believe that Gretchen said what she said [about being drugged and hospitalized amid her ‘naked wasted’ drama with Tamra on season four]. I think she did misspeak. And, you know, that’s where I stand with it,” she declared.

    The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • RHOC Recap: Gretchen’s Disturbing Social Media Activity Comes to Light as She Breaks Down Over Years-Long Feud With Tamra, Plus Gina Questions Jenn & Shannon’s Friendship

    [ad_1]

    The Amsterdam trip continues on this episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County.  Shannon is still coming down from the effects of her space cake, Gina’s mushroom micro dose has her running her mouth, and Emily is (shockingly) not tired of stirring the pot.  Gretchen‘s emotional meltdown after trying to clear things up with Tamra dampens the mood, but it’s the post she liked and commented on that really has people questioning just who IS Gretchers?

    The ladies have switched ensemble vibes from leather and lace for the Red Light district to floral and pastels for the tulip field trip. They really love to dress the part.  Heather has decided that micro dosing mushrooms with Gina at 10:20 am would be a fabulous idea in hopes of bringing out the vibrant tulip colors.  

    On the ride there, Tamra calls Gretchen a downer and Emily points out that Gretchen always seems to creep around Tamra.  But it’s not just Gretchen’s name on this van-group’s lips.  Jenn becomes a topic of conversation. Gina believes that Jenn is just “whoever everybody tells her to be.” They all wonder why Shannon is going around saying Jenn is not attending Alexis’s wedding, despite being invited.  Evidently, Shannon told Jenn NOT to go and Tamra sees that Shannon is making Jenn fall into line by obeying her friendship rules.

    The tulip fields are beautiful (mushrooms are not even needed to see the vibrancy, Heather) and Gina is really starting to feel the effects of the ‘shrooms.  She chats with Emily about the Jenn and Shannon of it all and becomes angry.  Gina wonders why Shannon did not throw HER a party to celebrate the fact that she is back together with Travis.  This is a crazy thing to say. Gina feels like Shannon always pushes her away because she holds Shannon accountable and therefore is always the bad guy. 

    The ladies sit down for some lunch and loose-lips-Gina brings up Alexis’s wedding.  According to Emily, a high Gina never STFUs and that very much tracks. Jenn claims that Shannon never outright asked her to not go to Alexis’s wedding.  Emily wonders out loud if Shannon is ok with Jenn being good friends with Alexis.  Don’t her arms ever get tired from all the stirring?!

    Jenn makes it clear that Shannon’s issues with Alexis are only Shannon’s issues. Although Shannon cannot dictate who Jenn is friends with, their friendship is now getting judged by Shannon. 

    Gina blurts out that Jenn did not even want the shower luncheon Shannon threw.  In fact, according to Gina, Jenn thought it was “ridiculous.” Jenn is appalled, but tries to backtrack despite questionable video footage.  Gina states she is being honest and wonders why Jenn is trying to foster this “fake friendship.” Shannon is beyond hurt.

    Gina wonders why Shannon didn’t celebrate HER family coming back together.  No one knows what the issue is, so Emily enters to try and figure out the authenticity of Shannon and Jenn’s friendship because it is totally her business-not.

    Shannon is left feeling stupid, wondering where she stands with Jenn, and the group piles back into the vans. Jenn and Gretchen chat about being content creators and explain that it’s a full-blown business.  Gretchen calls herself a serial entrepreneur and she wants Jenn to get in on this side hustle, but first she needs to drop Ryan on all her Instagram posts.

    Emily thinks it is hilarious to gift the women tacky trucker hats with even tackier sayings on them.  When Heather dons an “I heart c*ck” hat, we know that hell is freezing over.  They split into two groups and get into hot tub boats on the canal.  Emily forces Gretchen and Tamra into one “crockpot” in an effort to have them make amends.

    On the other boat, Shannon thought things were different with Jenn.  Jenn led Shannon to believe that she is not friendly with Alexis, therefore she is now questioning the honesty between them. Shannon wants Jenn to understand that Alexis crossed certain lines and wonders why Jenn would think Alexis is so great. 

    In the meantime, Emily is doing the most trying to get Gretchen and Tamra on the same page.  Gretchen admits to messing up the night in LA, but Tamra wonders what intentions Gretchen had at the charity event when she confronted her with Slade. The pact they made at the beach to move on got breached almost immediately because it’s a never ending tit-for-tat cycle. 

    Gretchen realizes that Emily is being a flip-flopper in this situation.  Tamra tells Gretchen she is “not relevant, which perpetuates the cycle.  Emily points out that Gretchen is guilty in this mess and so Gretchen claims she will be more introspective. Gretchen plans on taking accountability, but notice Tamra stays mum.

    Gretchen states that Tamra has yet to take Jesus Christ into her heart, so why should she change now and be an apologetic person?

    As they walk off the boat, Tamra reads a headline on her phone and she questions Jenn right away.  Jenn admits that she DOES have to pay a 6 figure judgement after a lawsuit for allegedly not paying rent on her studio.  The modified rent plan during Covid is now forcing Jenn to pay back that money. Tamra feels like Jenn could have been better off financially if she made smarter decisions. 

    Gretchen becomes upset in the Sprinter because she feels like all of the things said over the years about Tamra and to Tamra are pretty ugly.  She cries that she doesn’t want to hurt anyone, but the nastiness is more of a defense mechanism. 

    Because of Gretchen’s emotions, she is choosing to come late to the dinner.   In the meantime, Shannon and Jenn are making up synchronized dances in the food hall, proving that their friendship is still going strong.

    As they dine, Tamra states that she is “bugged.” The ladies try to tell her that in the bus, Gretchen showed her genuine side and this time, it seems like she really means her apology.

    Gretchen eventually rolls up, two hours late, and the mood changes. Despite Gina and Emily trying to move the storyline along, Gretchen is still not ready to talk about her break down.  She explains that it stems from pain, but Tamra points out that Gretchen keeps bringing things up. 

    Although it was a long time ago, things bubbled up once again for Gretchen and she is wishing it was different. Heather reminds Gretchen that everyone has to be accountable and Gretchen apologizes (again) for bashing Tamra for 12 years.

    The next day, Gina and Emily debrief. Gina claims she is struggling with Gretchen because of something she saw on social media.  About two weeks ago, Gina was at the dispensary with Tamra and she brought up these “alarming” posts that Gretchen liked.  Gretchen even commented on some of the posts and Gina is having a hard time believing that is who Gretchen is at her core.

    While the show doesn’t go into detail on the exact posts, they appear to be referring to screenshots that appear to show Gretchen liking homophobic posts on social media. Gretchen has since claimed the screenshots of that seemingly show her liking these posts are fake. 

    Gina can’t let this whole situation go: “Once you see stuff like this, you gotta call it out and not ignore it.” It isn’t adding up that Gretchen would be launching hate campaigns, but Gina wants Gretchen to explain herself…

  • Shannon Beador Shades Alexis and John’s “Priorities” After Publicized Wedding and Reacts to Being in Last Chair at RHOC Reunion, Plus Defends Gretchen Rossi

    [ad_1]

    Shannon Beador reacted to John Janssen‘s recent wedding to Alexis Bellino while appearing on Wednesday’s episode of Jeff Lewis‘ radio show.

    As she also spoke of her seating position at the Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 reunion, which filmed earlier this month, and addressed her friendship with Gretchen Rossi, 46, Shannon, 61, gave a nod to John, 62, and Alexis’ wedding story for PEOPLE, which was published very soon after they said, “I do,” on October 3.

    “They got married and it was like, in PEOPLE magazine two hours later,” Shannon shared on the October 15 episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, proceeding to shade John and Alexis’ “priorities.”

    Although Shannon admitted the wedding “looked pretty,” she agreed with Jeff’s suggestion that she “doesn’t give a sh*t” about her ex-boyfriend’s new marriage.

    “No,” she replied. “Time heals everything, and it makes you see more clearly.”

    At another moment of Jeff’s show, Shannon confirmed the RHOC season 19 reunion had been filmed as she revealed she was seated in the last chair, which has long been thought to indicate a potentially jeopardized role on the show.

    “I was at the end. I’ve never been at the end before. I’ve usually been in the first or second seat. I was in the end. I was straight across from [Heather Dubrow]. Heather and I were in the same position,” she shared as Jeff, 55, reasoned that she and Heather, 56, were “OGs” and likely had nothing to worry about in terms of season 20.

    According to Shannon, “it was quite nice” to be out of the drama for once.

    “By the grace of God, I wasn’t in a lot of the mix for once, so it was quite nice to be a part of it. But there were a lot of dark things that happened this year, and I wanted to be opinionated about them,” she explained. 

    Then, when asked if production chose to seat her next to Gretchen because they typically pair allies, Shannon said she “[thinks] so” as she defended her castmate against backlash.

    “There were certain things that were potential issues for me during this season, but there’s still a lot more to come, and I think that Gretchen has a very big heart. I do believe that. I’ve seen it,” Shannon stated. “And she may have issues with some cast members, but then you look at how she’s treated other of us, and she doesn’t have a mean bone.”

  • RHOC’s Heather Dubrow Defends Katie Ginella After Lie Detector & Calls Out Emily for Not Being “Fair” as Katie Talks Being ‘Hurt’ by Jenn and If They Could Reconcile

    [ad_1]

    Katie Ginella opened up about the loss of her friendship with Jennifer Pedranti after Thursday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County as Heather Dubrow defended her over the lie detector test drama.

    As Jenn, 48, also spoke of her heartbreak over their ended relationship and the rest of the cast looked back on the fallout from Katie’s failed lie detector test, Katie, 41, explained what hurt her the most about Jenn, shared her season 19 regrets, and revealed if she felt it was possible for her and Jenn to make amends.

    “I did [know our friendship was over after our coffee date],” Katie said on the September 4 episode of the RHOC: After Show. “I think I was most hurt because I didn’t even hear from her that night, and if the tables were turned, I would’ve called her, text her, even if I thought she was in the wrong, she is a friend. I would’ve checked on her. I think she said all she needed to say without saying anything.”

    While Katie suspected that failing the lie detector test after being questioned about what Gretchen Rossi, 46, told her about the “naked wasted” incident with Tamra Judge, 58, was the “last straw” for Jenn, she confirmed it was not for her.

    “Even though it’s been hard and really hurtful, I could still move on from that with Jenn because I care about her so much,” she stated. “I so hope Jenn and I can move past it and move on and be friends again because I really miss her. I woke up every morning at 7, and we laid in bed and talked every single morning … It literally just makes me sad.”

    Looking back, Katie said that she made a mistake when she decided to trust certain people.

    “I don’t trust anybody 1757149626,” she admitted. “I think my problem last year, 2024, all the sh*t that’s come up, I trusted too many people. I’m just an oversharer who trusts everybody.”

    Meanwhile, Heather, 56, admitted that she didn’t like how Katie left after the lie detector test.

    “I was upset that Emily didn’t give Katie the opportunity to say something because I didn’t think that was fair,” she explained.

    In her own segment, Jenn revealed she told Katie on multiple occasions, “Do you want to be friends in this friend group? … Because you’re going about it so wrong.” Still, when she reflected on their friendship, signaling the early episodes of season 19, Jenn said she missed the relationship they had.

    “When I watch these early episodes with her, it’s so hard for me cuz I miss that friendship. I miss that person,” she said. 

    As for their recent communication, Jenn said they texted after their coffee date.

    “We have had a text exchange. She texted me that she was heartbroken. I’ve been heartbroken too. And she said I’m available if you wanna talk. Here’s the thing: Yeah, let’s have a conversation, but you’ve gotta meet me with some realness,” she noted.

    Elsewhere in the RHOC: After Show, Shannon Beador, 61, said it wasn’t her decision to kick Katie out of the friend group.

    “I didn’t particularly say, ‘You’re out of the group.’ [Emily Simpson] said, ‘Get out of my house.’ I just sat there in awe that it was all happening,” she said.

    The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • RHOC’s Katie Ginella Explains Why She Failed Lie Detector as Gretchen and Jenn Feel Vindicated After Result, Plus Shannon & Heather React

    [ad_1]

    Credit: Instagram

    Katie Ginella may have failed her lie detector test on last week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, but after the show aired, she offered an explanation as to why.

    As the cast, including Tamra Judge, 57, Gretchen Rossi, 46, and Jennifer Pedranti, 48, reacted to Katie’s failed test, with Jenn stating that she stepped back from her friendship with Katie, 41, due to her lies, Katie suggested that a medical condition was to blame, as was the “non-certified” test itself.

    “I really was like, ‘F*ck yeah. Let’s go.’ If there’s a time that the truth is gonna come out, it’s gonna come out now,” Gretchen recalled on the August 28 episode of the RHOC: After Show of how she felt going into the test.

    Meanwhile, after getting in the car to go to Emily Simpson‘s home, where the test was held, Katie realized she’d forgotten to take her anti-anxiety medicine.

    “But I was like, ‘I’ll be fine. No problem.’ And I go there, and the anxiety made me get sick. I was, like, puking when I got there. It’s just too much. I’m getting glares from [Shannon Beador]. She’s, like, daggering me, and I was like, ‘This is too much.’ I just started to get sick. It was just too much anxiety. It was too much,” she explained.

    Then, amid the test, Katie was asked if she was “an anxious person” because her heart was “jumping.”

    “I was anxious, not only to be in this group of women, but then to sit in Emily’s closet and do a random non-certified polygraph test. Not in a controlled environment; in her closet,” she noted.

    After the results of the test were shared, Tamra stated, “All the questions, [Gina Kirschenheiter] passed, and [Emily] passed all of yours. Katie failed all of them.”

    Still, Katie insisted she “had nothing to gain from lying” about what Gretchen allegedly told her about being hospitalized after the “naked wasted” episode of season four.

    “I didn’t do anything. Why would I self-implode like that? There’s literally no reason,” she argued.

    In addition to Gretchen admitting she was “really relieved” when Katie’s results were shared because they were what she “needed everybody else to hear,” Jenn said she felt vindicated as well.

    “It was to a point for me where, ‘Is what Katie is telling me real? Or is Katie also not telling me everything?’ And I kept supporting and I kept backing and I kept defending, then all the other girls are getting frustrated with me … and so it was almost like, for me, like, now I don’t feel like an a**hole for taking a step back from this friendship,” she reasoned.

    Also on the RHOC: After Show, Shannon, 61, admitted it was “a bit chilling” that Katie “failed every single question,” as Heather Dubrow, 56, said she not only failed the whole test, but did so in a way that led the administrator to say they’d “never seen someone fail so tremendously.”

  • Gretchen Rossi Says RHOC Cast Warned Her About Katie Ginella, Slams Her “Horrific Stories,” and Calls Out Fake Behavior, Plus Reflects on Shading Shannon Beador’s DUI, and Responds to Tamra Judge’s Compassion Claims

    [ad_1]

    Gretchen Rossi appeared on Heather McDonald‘s podcast on Tuesday, where she reflected on The Real Housewives of Orange County cast’s warnings about Katie Ginella.

    As she also denied that she and her castmates were ganging up on Katie, 41, and accused Katie of using the press to spin lies about them, Gretchen, 46, reflected on her shady comment about Shannon Beador‘s DUI and clapped back at Tamra Judge‘s suggestion that she hasn’t gotten enough compassion on the show.

    “They were all telling me, ‘Gretchen, you need to be careful. This is what she does.’ And I didn’t want to believe it,” Gretchen revealed on the August 26 episode of Juicy Scoop.

    After starting off the season as Katie’s friend, Gretchen began to notice a pattern.

    “Every time we’re turning around, there’s some new blogger,” she explained. “Even the thing that happened with Tamra. That blogger came out and said, ‘Katie is straight-up lying. This did happen. She did call me.’”

    Although fans have accused the RHOC cast of ganging up on Katie, Gretchen insisted that was not the case, signaling Katie’s own antics against the cast.

    “The audience thinks we’re all just ganging up on Katie and going against Katie, but she has strategically done this to each and every cast member, and she’s out spinning these really horrific stories about each cast member and she’s done it to every single one of us, [Gina Kirschenheiter], [Emily Simpson], [Heather Dubrow], Tamra, Shannon, now me,” she shared. “I’m just like, why the heck? Why is she doing this?”

    After admitting that her comment about Shannon’s DUI being illegal amid Shannon’s argument that it was illegal for Katie to secretly record her “wasn’t a great thing to say” since she loves Shannon, 61, Gretchen pointed out that the moment was “real” and “authentic.”

    She then suggested that other women on the show aren’t as genuine.

    “It’s hard when you’re filming with people that are just like, ‘Oh I just gotta give this whole thing,’ and it’s like they’re wiling to say and do anything for this moment, and it’s like, I think we can actually have a lot of moments without trying to have this moment or make sh*t up about people or wreck their life,” Gretchen suggested. “For me, you’re taking it too far.”

    Moving on to Tamra’s recent suggestion that the cast didn’t give her compassion amid Teddi Mellencamp‘s cancer diagnosis, Gretchen shot down the idea.

    “I don’t think anybody didn’t have compassion for what Tamra, and I hate to even say what Tamra was going through because it’s what Teddi’s going through,” she clarified. “Tamra happens to be a good friend of Teddi’s, and I understand that it can affect her, but I’m sorry, when [my late fiancé Jeff Beitzel] was going through cancer, I wasn’t an a**hole. When [my current fiancé Slade Smiley‘s] son died, he wasn’t an a**hole. It doesn’t give you free rein to still be an a**hole and be a bad person.”

    According to Gretchen, the issue that people have with Tamra and her comments about Teddi was that her castmate always seemed to have an excuse for her behavior.

    “It’s like, ‘Oh, I was horrible to Shannon because I’m on the spectrum.’ ‘Oh, I was treating you that way cuz I was in a bad marriage with Simon.’ She always has an excuse,” Gretchen explained.

  • ‘RHOC’ Star Tamra Judge Discusses Being Held to Different Standard Than Cast, Says She Doesn’t Need the Show and Calls Katie’s Behavior a “Trauma Response,” Plus Why Son Spencer Doesn’t Film

    [ad_1]

    Tamra Judge signaled Shannon Beador‘s DUI arrest as she spoke of being held to a different standard than her Real Housewives of Orange County castmates on Lala Kent‘s podcast last week.

    As she also spoke of not needing the show, speculated about the behavior of Katie Ginella, 41, and explained why son Spencer Barney doesn’t appear on the series, Tamra, 57, slammed social media haters, admitted to fearing being fired, and looked back on her decision to return to the show after a temporary departure earlier this year.

    “They would be killing me [if I got a DUI]. And it comes up, [Gina Kirschenheiter] talks about how I’m held to a different standard in this group. Everybody else can do and say things, but if I do it, oh my god … It’s at the point now where I’m like, ‘What? I just don’t know if I can do this anymore. Honestly,’” Tamra shared on the August 20 episode of Give Them Lala.

    According to Tamra, she finds it “exhausting” that she’s treated differently from her co-stars.

    “I can’t hold the whole show all the time, and they want to pick on every word I say to make it a storyline, but yet other people say things far worse,” she noted. “If I would have said what [Gretchen Rossi] said to Shannon, ‘DUI’s illegal,’ oh my god, I would’ve been annihilated. It would’ve been talked about for the next 10 episodes.”

    Then, after noting that she doesn’t need RHOC “anymore,” at least not “financially,” Tamra said that Katie seems to be acting out of hurt on the show.

    “There’s something about her that I’m like, she’s hurt, there’s hurt in her. I know she had talked about being adopted and being raised in a mostly caucasian area, and all the hate she got, and I don’t really know where she stands now with her adopted parents, but to me, I can spot it. I’m like, ‘I don’t think this is who she is.’ I think this is like a trauma response,” she reasoned. “I’m not excusing any bad behavior whatsoever, but I just see something internally deeper.”

    As for why Spencer doesn’t film, Tamra said he’s “so shy.”

    “He filmed one year after he turned 18, and people just said such horrible things on social media, and he’s like, ‘Mom, I just can’t do it,’” she revealed. “He’s just the sweetest boy. And I go, ‘I get it.’ Every year I ask him and he’s like, ‘You know the answer, Mom. I don’t want to. I respect what you do, but it’s not for me.’”

    “[Sophia Barney], she’s a natural performer,” Tamra added of her youngest daughter.

    Agreeing with Spencer’s disdain for social media, Tamra said it is “in the toilet.”

    “Even about [Teddi Mellencamp]. I’m just like, who says stuff like that? Like, why would you say something like that? It’s a platform now that people can buy bots to attack you. It’s dirty,” she complained.

    While it was she who parted ways with production amid season 19, Tamra admitted to having a fear of being fired from her role on the show.

    “I beat myself down, and I always think, every year, this is it. I’m getting fired. Every year, I think that they don’t like me, fans don’t like me. The cast doesn’t like me. I’m very close with production, and they’ve always been very kind to me, and I’m always very good to them, but you never know what Bravo thinks, and I’m like, ‘What if they read this comment and they really think I’m this horrible person?’” she explained. 

    Also during the interview, Tamra looked back on her decision to return to RHOC after quitting, recalling a conversation she had with Heather Dubrow, 56.

    “Heather had reached out to me, I believe, from New Orleans. A week had gone by, and I hadn’t responded to her, so I said, ‘Thank you. I’m okay now. I’m doing much better.’ And then we filmed together. She’s the first one I filmed with,” Tamra shared.

    “When I come back, you will see a little bit of a change in me … I have some ups and downs still, but I’m stronger and I’m not putting up with sh*t,” she added.

  • Tamra Judge Shades Shannon’s ‘Ridiculous’ Outbursts Towards Katie, Talks Teddi’s Health and How RHOC Producers Reacted to Her Exit

    [ad_1]

    Credit: Charles Sykes/Bravo

    Katie Ginella has been one of the most significant topics on season 19 of The Real Housewives of Orange County. This is mostly thanks to her issues with Shannon Beador. Now, Tamra Judge is slamming Shannon for her treatment of Katie and opening up about Teddi Mellencamp‘s health struggles.

    Katie, 41, and Shannon, 61, started this season of RHOC on good terms. However, she later learned that the second season housewife had previously recorded her as she was having a meltdown at a photoshoot. To Katie’s defense, she says this was a voice note and that her husband was the only one to hear it. Shannon insists that Katie also played it for Alexis Bellino. 

    Tamra spoke to US Weekly while attending Alexis’ bridal shower. When asked why Shannon is critical of Katie, she said, “I think she doesn’t really have a whole lot going on in her life right now.”

    Tamra continued, “I think that she doesn’t have kids at home. She doesn’t have a husband or a boyfriend. I think she’s trying to make the best of what she’s got. I think it’s a little over the top.”

    Tamra also reacted to the outbursts Shannon had toward Katie in New Orleans when she told the second-season housewife, “I can’t stand you.” She said, “The whole thing is a little bit ridiculous in my mind. Yeah, Katie did some things, and Katie repeated some things. But you’ll see how that plays out.”

    In defense of Katie and the rumors that she speaks to bloggers, she said, “I honestly have not seen Katie since the last time we filmed together, but we definitely have DMed back and forth.”

    She went on, “I know what it’s like to be an outsider with these girls and how hard it can be, and I think it’s backfiring. I think that the fans love her, and I think whenever there’s a gang up like that, it doesn’t go over well, and there’s more to come on that, so I can’t really say more.”

    The RHOC star added, “Did she mess up? She did. Is she a terrible person who’s a danger to society? No.” Tamra also opened up to PEOPLE about the impact of filming the show as her friend, Teddi, was going through treatments for her cancer. She said, “One week into filming, Teddi got sick.”

    Tamra continued explaining, “So it really put me in a tailspin. And it was a very difficult season.” She also spoke about how she and Teddi had previously traveled to New Orleans and stated that being back there with the cast made the trip even more emotional. 

    According to her, “It was the worst thing. Just to try to wrap your brain around it. One of your best friends is fighting for their life, and you’re in the place the two of you were in together before she got sick.” 

    She also reflected on briefly quitting RHOC, saying, “I had a hard time. I did walk away. I was like, ‘I just can’t do this.’ I don’t have it in me.’”

    Tamra insisted she was fully planning to quit the show. She also discussed how the producers handled the situation, explaining, “They said, ‘Listen, we know that you’re going through a really hard time. Just take a week off. You need to just relax, and then make a decision.’”

    She added, “I listened. I went and saw Teddi — who I just couldn’t see because I was so busy filming. And then I went to my house at Big Bear Lake, and just played in the snow with my dog and [my husband] Eddie. And just tried to have a good time and not think about it.”

    Regarding why she didn’t quit, Tamra explained, “For the record, Teddi’s the one that told me to get my a** back into the game. She’s the one that said, ‘Listen, if I’m not a quitter, you’re not going to be a quitter.’ So I said, ‘Okay, I’m not a quitter, and I decided, you know, ultimately, let’s go back.’”

    Tamra went on to say that she considers season 19 of RHOC a time of “growth and change.” She also stated that it gave her a sense of “knowing who my friends are, and knowing who my friends are not.” Additionally, she says that viewers are “definitely going to see a different side of me.”

    Still, she insists that she’s evolving to become a better person for those in her life and not for the fans of the show.

    Shannon Beador Shares What Wasn’t Shown on RHOC Season 18, Claims Tamra Called Her C-Word and John Janssen Pressured Her Last Season, Plus What She Wanted to Say to Alexis Bellino at Reunion, Victim Allegations, and DUI Video Threats

    [ad_1]

    Shannon Beador revealed what wasn’t shown on the 18th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County during a podcast appearance on Thursday.

    As she spoke of being called the C-word on a number of occasions, recalled John Janssen, 62, requesting she defend him on a past season, and shared what she wished she had said to Alexis Bellino, 47, at the recently-taped reunion, Shannon, 62, clapped back at claims of playing the victim and reacted to the DUI video threats.

    “It was really surprising to me how deep it went and unfortunately, you don’t see all of it,” Shannon began on the October 31 episode of The Viall Files after being asked about the harsh criticism she received from certain cast members. “There was more … being called the C-word multiple times and being talked to like mafia, gangster, it’s like, ‘Who talks that way?’”

    After confirming she was referring to her former friend Tamra Judge, 57, and admitting to crying a lot during production, Shannon said she’s in a better place today.

    “I feel pretty strong that it’s over, and I’m still okay. It didn’t kick me down. I’m still moving forward,” she declared.

    The latest season was especially hard for Shannon due to John’s lawsuit against her and his relationship with co-star Alexis, who seemed to be doing his dirty work at times.

    Looking back at her own years-long relationship with John, Shannon recalled her ex-boyfriend coaching her ahead of a reunion.

    “When I was in the reunion last season, I was so stressed out because it was like, ‘You gotta defend me,’ and then when I came back and went through the list of things I said, it wasn’t good enough,” she revealed.

    Although John has moved on from Shannon and is now engaged to Alexis, Shannon believes her name often comes up between the couple. In fact, she was recently informed by a fan that they had run into John and heard him speaking about her.

    “It’s like yikes, but I don’t know. I wanted to ask Alexis at the reunion, but I didn’t have a chance to say, ‘If you sleep in the same bed with John, how many minutes go by before my name is uttered?’ I wanted to ask it … Five max … They keep saying for me to move on and I have. I don’t want to talk about them. I don’t want to think about them,“ Shannon stated.

    When host Nick Viall, 44, wanted to know her thoughts on John claiming she’s good at playing the victim and wondered why he’s so “obsessed” with her, Shannon admitted she wasn’t sure.

    “I really don’t know because a victim actually is someone who sits back and blames other people and doesn’t do anything. I’m still trying to make myself a better person. I’m not a victim,” she stated. “Tamra has put out that ‘victim, victim, victim’ out there for years and I’m tired of that.”

    Speaking of John’s claims that she owes him $75,000 for her facelift, Shannon suspected his case was not about money.

    “I think it’s about his reputation … He wants people to think he’s a generous person,” she explained.

    As for John and Alexis’ statements regarding the videos John has of her on the night of her DUI, Shannon confessed, “I had a lot to drink.”

    “I don’t remember things that happened during that night. It’s hard because I’ve come so far … why bring that up?” she wondered. “I don’t know what’s on it. He says he’s not gonna release it so I’m hopeful … I don’t think it would be a good look for him to release it. The whole thing is bad and I’m so horrified about it. I try to lead for example for my kids so it wasn’t a good look.”

    Shannon was then asked if she found John to be a housewife chaser.

    “I don’t know. John hadn’t watched any episodes when he met me but I think he did a crash course and watched a lot. But I don’t know that,” she noted. “It’s a really small town. I’m not out there on the scene so I don’t really know a lot about that.”

    REPORT: Alexis Bellino is on Chopping Block Ahead of RHOC Season 19, Why She Could Be “Fired” Amid Feud With Shannon, Plus is Katie Ginella Facing Firing?

    Alexis Bellino is reportedly in jeopardy of being fired from The Real Housewives of Orange County ahead of its upcoming 19th season due to her intense feud with Shannon Beador.

    Following the filing of John Janssen‘s $75,000 lawsuit against Shannon, 60, and his August engagement to Alexis, 47, the two women remain at odds, with Alexis facing both major backlash over what she has claimed was a bad edit on the show and an alleged exit.

    “Bravo is so happy with how this season turned out and they know that adding Alexis is a big part of what made it such a success,” one insider told the Daily Mail on October 18. “Everybody brought their A game this year but it’s really the drama between Shannon and Alexis that’s made this season a blockbuster hit.”

    Although producers don’t want to change a thing about the cast, it doesn’t seem feasible to welcome both Alexis and Shannon back to the show.

    “They don’t want to film with each other and the audience hates Alexis so much that Bravo may have no choice but to let her go unless something changes,” the source noted. 

    According to the report, things were tense between Alexis and Shannon after filming wrapped on season 18. Then, things got even worse after Alexis “did everything she shouldn’t have done” at the reunion.

    That said, another production source claimed Alexis’ return was still possible.

    “Nothing has been decided yet and casting won’t officially begin until this season has finished airing, so nobody has been fired or rehired,” they shared. “With that said, there’s a lot of people who do want Alexis back next year. She’s easy to work with compared to some of the other women and she’s authentically friends with the cast, which is hard to find.”

    “Tamra Judge, Heather Dubrow, Jennifer Pedranti, Katie Ginella all want her back. Shannon and Emily Simpson would be happy to see her go… and Gina Kirschenheiter doesn’t care either way,” the insider added.

    While Alexis reportedly wants to return, she is hoping to get redemption after becoming “really upset” by how she was portrayed on season 18.

    “[She] even considered quitting at one point, but she eventually decided that it would be better for her to return and show viewers more of her real life,” the source stated. “Alexis also believes that Shannon’s true colors will eventually come out and that she’ll be vindicated, so she wants to be part of the show when that happens so everyone can see that she’s not the bad guy in this.”

    If Alexis is let go, the insider said it won’t be due to the backlash she received.

    “Bravo has fired plenty of great people due to audience backlash before and it usually just makes the shows boring and leads to even more complaints from fans,” the source stated. “Alexis could easily come back, but she and Shannon are going to have to find a way to coexist for that to happen. They can’t just rehash the same fight forever and refuse to film together – nobody wants to see that.”

    The insider then noted that prior to season 18, it was actually Shannon who was on the chopping block.

    “Everybody thought Shannon would be phased out after her DUI and Alexis would replace her, but things played out in such an unexpected way that now Shannon is arguably the most popular person on the show,” one source said. “Everybody hates Alexis and Tamra, but it’s not always a bad thing to be hated as a Housewife. It’s better than being forgettable.”

    As for Katie Ginella, 40, who feuded with Heather Dubrow, 55, and Gina Kirschenheiter, 40, after being added to the cast for season 18, the insider said that although some of the cast has been trying to “ice her out,” producers are happy with her performance on the show.

    “She’s been well received by fans, but some of the other women really have it out for her,” the source revealed. “Heather never got over Katie accusing her of staging paparazzi photos and was furious about it all season, and Gina says she now regrets bringing Katie into the group.”

    “Some of the women think Katie moved to Orange County just to get cast on the show and they don’t trust her, but Katie feels like she’s being hazed and iced out as the new girl and just wants to move past all this petty drama,” the insider added.

  • 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.
