Tamra Judge: Gina Kirschenheiter RUINED My Friendship with Shannon Beador!

After the way that Tamra Judge betrayed Shannon Beador, it looks like Shannon isn’t speaking to Tamra.

Now, Tamra has given a new interview.

In it, she lays all of the blame for her fractured friendship at the feet of Gina Kirschenheiter.

In an interview with TooFab, Tamra Judge says that she has now seen a very important The Real Housewives of Orange County scene.

She says that it hasn’t convinced her that Gina is anything other than a sneaky saboteur.

“To me,” Tamra says. “As I watch it, that’s what I see it like, It’s like, ‘Hey, now we’re friends, let’s team up."”

She is referring to Gina telling Shannon about what Tamra and others had said behind Shannon’s back.

“It was really a weird situation,” Tamra shares. “Because she’s never been close to Shannon, ever.”

Tamra doesn’t buy it: “So for her to say, ‘Oh, I’m so worried about your mental state,’ but yet, prior to that, all she was doing was shit-talking Shannon?”

With those words, Gina drove a wedge between Tamra and Shannon’s friendship.

“It wasn’t cool at all,” Tamra says.

Tamra is especially critical of Gina’s timing.

She says that it was a shady move, “especially when she had [cosmetic eye] surgery a few days prior.”

We all saw that Shannon was trying to focus on her recovery at the time.

“She just wanted to get her upset,” Tamra characterizes.

Gina, in Tamra’s eyes, is just a troublemaker — a troublemaker with no clear endgame.

“My biggest thing is like, what was her point of doing that?” Tamra asks.

One does wonder what Gina had to gain, because Tamra doesn’t think that she was just trying to be earnest.

“She [got close to] Shannon like 15 minutes ago,” Tamra characterizes.

Tamra continues: “and all of a sudden, she wants to sit down and say, ‘Hey, let me just tell you what your friends are saying."”

“In Gina’s defense, she did say ‘friends,"” Tamra admits.

Tamra says: “but when I got the message [from Shannon], it was more like, ‘Gina said you were saying all kinds of horrible things about my mental state."”

Clearly, Shannon was very distressed at the time. She has been going through so much this year.

“And,” Tamra explains. “That’s why I said to Gina, ‘Let me hear your side of the story before I lose my s–t."”

“But her side of the story wasn’t great,” Tamra says.

That said, it doesn’t sound like everyone’s still at each other’s throats.

Tamra tells TooFab that she and the other Housewives parted ways “on decent terms” after filming the reunion special in October.

“Nobody’s fighting,” Tamra claims. “Well, except for Kelly [Dodd] and Vicki [Gunvalson].”

We all saw Kelly’s recent assessment of who should and should not return to the series.

“It’s funny because neither one of them think the other should be on the show anymore,” Tamra says.

“But I think they’re both great for the show,” Tamra notes. “They’re exactly what the show needs.”

So, what was Gina’s real motive for speaking to Shannon?

Maybe she really was just trying to be a good friend.

Her characterization of what the other women were saying didn’t miss the mark by much.

That said, chaos for the sake of chaos may have also been a motive.

We’re not accusing Gina of being a chaos demon.

But she’s a Real Housewife — you know that she wants to come back next season.

Proving that she can stir up drama like this sounds like a great way to get a ticket back next season.

Tamra Judge: Great, Now Shannon Beador Won"t Even Speak to Me!

The stars of The Real Housewives of Orange County are in conflict.

After watching how things played out on the latest episode, Shannon Beador can no longer trust Tamra Judge.

In fact, she’s no longer even speaking to her former bestie.

Bravo did a rundown of everyone’s current relationship status with Shannon Beador, and some of those answers may surprise you.

“I don’t speak to Shannon,” Gina makes clear.

“You know, Shannon doesn’t speak to me,” Gina clarifies.

“And I personally feel like if there’s any fallout pertaining to the text messages,” Gina says. “It wouldn’t be directed at me.”

Gina concludes: “but more at what her friends were saying on that trip.”

That makes sense. Disagreements with a co-star are one thing.

Betrayal and backstabbing from your so-called friends is another thing altogether.

Tama realizes that Shannon is pissed at her … but insists that it’s not her fault, actually.

“Well Shannon is upset with all of us,” Tamra admits. “And I think Vicki is the only one she’s talking to.”

“Which is so weird,” Tamra claims. “Because I think Vicki called her extra large.”

Tamra also lists that Vicki “said she couldn’t take her kids to school, slept all day, that she drank too much and she needed medication.”

“And I basically said, like, ‘I want you to me more positive,’ and I’m the a–hole,” Tamra laments.

It sounds like Tamra is digging that hole deeper and alienating Shannon more by talking about it like this.

Vicki Gunvalson says that she has regrets about the way that she and others talked about Shannon.

“I think Shannon was really disappointed in how we talked about her when she wasn’t there,” Vicki shares.

“So,” she continues. “I regret that.”

Vicki has gone through some real personal growth.

“Watching it,” Vicki admits. “I probably should have been a little more compassionate.”

“So, that makes me feel sad for her,” Vicki says.

Notice how her tone is frank and remorseful rather than defensive. She could try to pin the blame on others, but does not.

Tamra apparently reached out to Shannon when she knew that the episode was coming out.

“I sent her a message that day,” Tamra says. “And I’m like, ‘Hey listen, you know, I know it is a hard episode for you."”

Tamra’s message to Shannon continued: “‘but I love you and this was so long ago.’”

“But,” Tamra characterizes. “She lives in TV time.”

What Tamra means is that Shannon relived the unpleasant experiences while watching the episode.

She also gained new and upsetting insight into what her “friends” thought of her at the time.

“[We] talked 100 times a day,” Tamra says of before this week’s episode aired. “So, it all goes back to that whole ‘icing out, poor me."”

Despite Tamra mocking Shannon’s feelings on this matter, she and Shannon used to be fast friends.

The two got into some conflict while filming this season — months ago.

However, the two of them made up during the filming of this season’s reunion episode.

It was only this week, with the latest episode’s revelations, that things once again soured between the former besties.

Shannon is pissed, and Tamra is indignant.

Tamra and Shannon used to be not just friends, but allies in their shared feud with Vicki Gunvalson.

You need allies when you’re facing off against Vicki. But they both made peace with Queen V.

Shannon would not be the first person to decide, after years of being close, that Tamra is a toxic person.

Remember, Tamra’s own adult daughter wants nothing to do with her mother.

Will Shannon and Tamra make nice?

Or is it just a matter of time before Eddie’s the only person still willing to give Tamra the time of day?
