Shannon Declares She Has “153 Screenshots” of Proof Against Tamra’s Friendship “Claims”

In an exclusive interview with BravoTV.com, Shannon Storms Beador unpacks the demise of her friendship with Tamra Judge.

By Allison Crist

According to Shannon Storms Beador, the Tres Amigas are officially broken up — and her friendship with Tamra Judge is just as fractured. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Peacock and the Bravo App.

The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member shared as much during a July interview with BravoTV.com. "I think ever since she came back to the show, she claims that I ghosted her for two years," Shannon began. "I have 153 screenshots to show that I didn't."

Though the two reconciled during Season 17, Shannon expressed her belief that she and Tamra "never got back to the way things truly were." Then when last year happened, "I expected Tamra to say, 'How are you doing? What have you done?'" Shannon explained.

However, according to her, that wasn't the case. 

She continued, "[Tamra] proclaims publicly that she was there for me, [but] Tamra doesn't know anything about what I've been doing in the last year ... but yet she seems to act like an authority."

The friendship update comes amid Shannon and Tamra's intense exchange on RHOC Season 18, Episode 5 (which aired August 8). Also present for said exchange? The third member of the since-disbanded Tres Amigas, Vicki Gunvalson.

What happened to the Tres Amigas?

Shannon elaborated on the demise of the trio's bond during her interview with BravoTV.com. "

Tamra decided to exit from the Tres Amigas, and as we're almost a year [from] that happening, it's better," she said. "I think as VIcki and I get older and we have less tolerance for a lot of the noise, we're realizing that maybe the friendship wasn't as authentic as we thought it was with Tamra." 

Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, and Vicki Gunvalson smile together while sitting at a restaurant.

Tamra sees things differently, though. Back in January 2024, she told Entertainment Tonight, "There were some things they had said about me behind my back that got to me, and it didn't sit well with me. In 2024, I'm not going to be around toxic people that are, you know — if you're my friend, be my friend. If I'm doing something or saying something you don't like, come to me and tell me..."

Tamra also insisted that she wasn't to blame for the Tres Amigas' fallout. As she put it, "I didn't do anything to either one of them."
