Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador says she’s happier now that she and Tamra Judge are no longer besties.
Shannon and Tamra were once close friends and even toured as part of a comedic threesome alongside Vicki Gunvalson, but their friendship hit a wall after Shannon was charged with a DUI and Tamra turned on her.
Tamra also sided with Alexis Bellino, who taunted Shannon last season after getting engaged to Shannon’s ex.
“I did say [my life was better without Tamra in it]. I’m in a place right now where I think I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, and she has not been a part of my life. There was a lot of walking on eggshells in our friendship,” Shannon shared on a recent episode of the RHOC: After Show.
She continued, “When she would ‘point out’ all these kinds of things that she did for me and criticize me about calling at all hours of the night, trust me, it’s not all accurate and a lot of the time, when she describes what our friendship was, I feel like I’m in a Twilight Zone. In my eyes, she’s describing how I was towards her. Like, she’ll just say, ‘You’ve never had a better friend than me.’ It’s like, she wouldn’t even return calls.”
Tamra previously claimed that it was “a lot” to be friends with Shannon, who she says in constantly in victim mode.
