Shannon Beador Attacks Fellow Housewife in Cryptic Post
It looks like not everyone has made nice since Shannon Beador flipped out on her castmates in Jamaica.
Shannon has taken to social media to condemn people who cause drama — without naming any names.
One fellow Housewife saw it … and may have implied that they’re no longer friends.
Shannon Beador apologized to her co-stars following her big blow-up in Jamaica.
But there are clearly some lingering issues and conflicts.
At least, that’s what Shannon implied with her recent post.
She shared one of those messages designed for older moms to share on social media (which is exactly her demographic, we’re not being shady).
The post reads: “For those of you who like to stir the pot, make sure you have a tight grip on the handle.”
Shannon captioned the photo with a simple tag: “#verytightgrip.”
Shannon didn’t name any names, but Tamra Judge saw fit to comment under the post.
“Love you my friend,” Tamra’s comment begins.
“We were good,” she writes.
(Really interesting use of the past tense, there)
“No,” Tamra continues. “I should have not talked about my frustrations.”
“But,” she points out. “I’m pretty sure Gina & Kelly called you mental.”
Shannon may have flipped out on a number of her co-stars while in Jamaica, but we all remember Tamra screaming in response.
Commenters remember the role that Tamra played, even if they didn’t always spell her name correctly.
“Gina definitely stirred it,” one commenter wrote, keeping with the pot-stirring metaphor. “But Tamara supplied the ingredients.”
Tamra saw this and responded: “No I didn’t.”
“Pretty sure the other girls said shannon had mental problems,” Tamra insisted. “I was coming from place of concern.”
Tamra may have taken Shannon’s vaguepost personally, but many asssumed that Gina Kirschenheiter was the one being vagued.
(Remember, if it’s not a tweet, it can’t be a subtweet — it’s a vague)
Gina did go around saying that “everyone” was talking about Shannon’s mental state.
And Vicki Gunvalson slammed her new castmates for being “obsessed” with Shannon.
Neither Gina nor Emily made fast friends with Shannon.
At the end of the day, pot-stirring aside, Shannon’s big blow-up on camera may have been as much from the heat in Jamaica as anything else.
They were staying at a hotel that had no air conditioning. It was summer.
These Housewives are made of sterner stuff than I am — I would have quit the show to flee from that heat.
Some fans openly suggested that Shannon’s conflict with co-stars arose because she envied the younger, newer Housewives.
After all, Emily is happy with her life, and Gina is going through her divorce with dignity and even contentment.
But Kelly Dodd insists that Shannon isn’t jealous of the new women.
She says that Shannon just takes a while to warm up to new people, and that she doesn’t handle change very well.
(Who among us does handle change well? I don’t even like when other people rearrange the furniture in their homes)
Combine Shannon’s resistance to change with the stress of her messy, contentious divorce from David, and you can see why she’s on edge.
But Shannon didn’t really spell out the intended target of her post.
It could mean Gina — but it could also mean Tamra.
(It seems more likely that Tamra just assumed that it was about her, because Tamra can be a little tightly wound)
This may be one of those “You’re So Vain” situations where, if you think it’s about you, it’s about you.
But we will say that Shannon and Gina seem to have mended fences. Social media has shown them hanging out.
The peril of vague posts is that they’re always vague, and you risk upsetting people you didn’t mean to offend.

Ashley Jacobs: Returning to Southern Charm Without Thomas Ravenel?
Southern Charm is getting a bit of a casting shakeup, since Thomas Ravenel will stand trial for sexual assault.
But what will become of Ashley Jacobs, who was a big enough player last season to be invited to the reunion without Thomas?
She says that she’s reached a decision.
Ashley Jacobs took to Instagram to share some news with her fans and followers.
“After a lot of prayerful consideration, I have decided not to return to Southern Charm next season,” Ashley announced.
That’s a bit of a disappointment — but probably the smart decision.
“Honestly,” she reveals. “I considered filming again.”
Ashley then shares that she thought about it “because I desperately want to tell my side of the story.”
That could mean everything from her behavior last season to why she allegedly kept hanging out with Thomas long after he was accused of sexual assault.
Ashley points the finger at one factor in particular that prevents her from returning to the show.
“But after experiencing how unfair the editing process can be,” Ashley said. “I don’t think I’ll ever have a fair shot.”
It is not uncommon for reality stars to say that bad editing shows them in an unfavorable light.
That is even the excuse that Thomas himself used to explain his departure from the show.
(Bravo has confirmed that they won’t have him back; they were investigating the same allegations that led to Thomas’ arrest)
Ashley thanked her fans: “I appreciate you all following me throughout this journey.”
But RadarOnline‘s source says that Ashley returning to the series was never even an option.
“Ashley was not a cast member,” the insider points out.
She was always there as Thomas’ girlfriend.
Reports said that she wasn’t paid for appearing on the show — except for her role on the reunion special.
“So,” the source explains. “There would be no conversation of her returning or not.”
Another insider accused: “She is not telling the truth.”
As we previously reported, Us Weekly‘s source said something very different.
According to that tabloid, there was absolutely talk of bringing back Ashley.
“They weren’t specific about what her role would be,” the insider said. “Since she doesn’t have a lot of people to film with.”
“They wanted Ashley to work her way back into the friend circle,” the source explained.
The insider admitted: “but there was just no guarantee that that would happen.”
“Of course everyone wants to see Ashley talk to Kathryn,” the source acknowledged.
The source said: “Ashley was in talks with Bravo and the producers.”
That flies in the face of RadarOnline‘s report. Curiously, both tabloids belong to the same parent company.
“But,” the insider said, Ashley “didn’t feel like she could represent herself well enough with the way it was being presented to her.”
That seems to match up with her statement about being concerned about editing.
So, it’s difficult to say whose production source is right or wrong.
However, it may be for the best that Ashley is saying goodbye to the series.
Not only was her relationship with Thomas deeply toxic, but being a reality star did not sit well with her.
Ashley famously lost weight and admitted that she was a nervous wreck from being on television.
Self-care is important, folks. Fame isn’t worth losing your health.
