That’s her opinion!
Tamra Judge shared a hot take on Shannon Beador that might set them back a few paces.
“We move forward, then we move back, we move forward, then we move back,” the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star said of their infamously tumultuous friendship while chatting with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea.”
Judge, 58, noted that while she and Beador, 62, are currently amicable, she doesn’t think her frenemy wants the audience to know that.
“I feel like now we’re doing good, but I don’t think she wants anybody to know we’re doing good,” Judge said, sharing a shady theory that Beador pays close attention to the audience’s negative opinion of Judge.
“Some people just act for the comments section of Instagram.”
Judge also speculated that Beador might be keeping their friendship under wraps so that fans can tune into Season 20 of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” to see how everything unfolds.
“Unless she doesn’t want to give it away yet. It could be that, too,” Judge surmised. “But I’m like, come on, they see us together and we’re photographed and we post pictures.”
While their friendship has been up and down for nearly a decade, things truly took a downward spiral in “RHOC” Season 18 when Judge was outwardly critical of Beador’s post-DUI drinking. She twisted the knife by aligning herself with Alexis Bellino, who returned to the show as a “friend of” for one season. At the time, Bellino was dating Beador’s ex-boyfriend, John Janssen, whom she has since married.
The two women have struggled to recover ever since. Despite Judge’s attempts to apologize in Season 19, Beador’s trust issues have held her back from fully rebuilding their once-close friendship.
Tensions have unsurprisingly carried into Season 20 following an explosive argument between the longtime co-stars during filming for “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th.”
“I didn’t think it was that bad,” Judge told “VRT” of their scuffle. “She says that I called her a drunk. I don’t remember calling her a drunk … I think she called me a drunk.”
“The Real Housewives of Orange County” airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo, with new episodes available to stream the next day on Peacock.
