The tumultuous friendship between Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador seems to have reached its breaking point. In a recent appearance, Tamra made it clear that she has no interest in repairing their “one-sided friendship.”
The drama unfolded on The Real Housewives of Orange County, with Shannon’s hit-and-run and DUI arrest in September 2023 being a major point of contention. When presented with the results of a viewer poll showing that most fans are on Shannon’s side, Tamra was unfazed.
“They only have half the story,” Tamra replied. “I can only imagine.” She went on to express her frustration with Shannon, stating that she has always tried to help her, but their friendship has been one-sided.

Then pressed Tamra to share her side of the story, to which she responded, “The other half of the story is that, after her DUI, I was by her side every single day, talking to her every single day, trying to make sure she got the help that she needed. She didn’t get the help she needed.”
Tamra went on to express her disappointment with Shannon’s actions, stating that if she were in Shannon’s shoes, she would never drink again after such a serious incident.
In September 2023, Shannon was arrested for driving her car into a residential property in Newport Beach, California. She was later sentenced to three years of probation. Tamra questioned Shannon’s drinking habits following the incident, as depicted on RHOC season 18.
In a recent interview, Shannon acknowledged that it’s unlikely she and Tamra will reconcile, citing that Tamra always finds fault in her actions. Shannon expressed that she’s making healthy choices and prioritizing her own well-being.
The drama between Tamra and Shannon has left fans divided, but one thing is certain – their friendship has reached its breaking point.
