Shannon Beador: It's Difficult to See Your Best Friend in Pain

"It hurts to hear Tamra say that I haven't asked about Eddie, because I do all the time."

By Shannon Storms Beador
Eddie Judge Is Losing Faith

Parts of this episode are difficult to watch. I didn't attack Emily's husband. Tamra herself questioned what kind of husband Shane was. It was very upsetting that my best friend was so angry at me. I certainly wasn't trying to make everything about me. I was just defending myself. The golf lunch was incredibly hurtful, and I just wanted to go home.

How to Watch

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

I have been needy at this point in my divorce. It has been one of the most stressful times in my life. I'm glad that Tamra finally opened up to me, because I want to be the best friend I can be. We have to communicate with each other to maintain a great friendship. It hurts to hear Tamra say that I haven't asked about Eddie, because I do all the time. It's difficult to see your best friend in pain, and I know she is going through so much. 

On the way to Eddie's birthday, Kelly expressed that she was upset with Steve about an article that was in the press. Everyone is entitled to their feelings, and Kelly has a right to feel however she wants. I thought it was sweet how she tried to have a calm and civil conversation with Steve, and it's a shame it didn't last for very long. I can't believe that Steve was standing with Emily's husband. I had no idea who he was. It was odd to me that he started to pipe in with comments to Kelly after Steve walked away. He didn't know anything about the situation and should have kept quiet. The icing on the cake was when Emily became irate and threatened to kill Kelly. That is not appropriate party etiquette, especially for an attorney/party planner.

The party continues next week where you will see more of the unbelievable "death threats."
