Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge has been dragged into the middle of Katie Ginella’s beef with Shannon Beador and she says she’s being used as a scapegoat.
Katie and Shannon have been feuding after it was revealed that Katie secretly recorded Shannon during an alleged “meltdown.” Shannon denies ever having a meltdown.
Katie then sent the recording to her husband, Matt. The recording took place during Shannon’s contentious lawsuit with her ex, John Janssen, whose fiancée was Alexis Bellino. Tamra Judge alleged that Katie played the recording for Alexis and others, although Katie denied that and said she only shared it with her husband.
Now, everything has blown up, Katie is pointing the finger at Shannon, kicking off the drama.
“I get blamed for everything, even if I’m not involved, I get blamed for everything. I’ll take ownership for anything that I’m involved in or anything I do. But in a situation like this, especially with housewives, you don’t blame the messenger. That’s what we’re all — we’re all messengers on this show,” she said on the Viall Files podcast.
“I’m not the one that recorded. You’re the one that recorded and now it’s my problem cuz I brought it out? Well, what if I didn’t bring it out? What are we gonna talk about?”
Listen to her interview above.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo and streams the following day on Peacock.
