At this point, the Tres Amigas might just as well change their name to the Dos Amigas. These days, it’s pretty much Vicki Gunvalson and Shannon Beador versus their former friend Tamra Judge.
In an April 25 post on X (formerly Twitter), Tamra said, “When Vicki told me, ‘There’s no show without you,’ and begged me to come back, she meant it because it sounds like all they did was talk about me.”
During their roadshow the night before, Vicki and Tamra were obviously missing their buddy Tamra. They made fun of the absent Real Housewives of Orange County star and, at one point, even encouraged the audience to join in a derogatory chant against her.
Vicki holds a grudge
Over the years, the ladies have had their ups and downs, but they always seem to be able to make things right in the end. This time it might not be so easy.
Vicki apparently is holding a grudge since Tamra pulled out of their roadshow. Now she’s drawn Shannon into the fray.
At their show this week, a fan shared on social media that Shannon had said on-stage that the “worst part of filming [RHOC] this season wasn’t Alexis [Bellino] but Tamra.” Alexis caused waves before the season even started. She’s dating Shannon’s ex, John Janssen, which understandably doesn’t sit well with Shannon.
But Vicki is so upset with Tamra that at several points in the show, she had the audience chanting, “F*ck Tamra!” Yikes. That’s harsh, even for Vicki.
The three friends had been in a good place with each other until a fallout in January of this year. It could be that Shannon resents Tamra’s ongoing friendship with Alexis and considers it a betrayal. There have also been rumors that Tamra is upset with Shannon for allegedly continuing to drink following her DUI arrest in September 2023. A third sore spot is Tamra’s friendship with podcast partner and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp. For some reason, Vicki despises Teddi. Jealousy perhaps?
Social media tit for tat
When Tamra decided to leave the roadshow, she posted a photo of herself to Twitter with the caption, “Uno.” That started a social media war between the two former BFFs.
“My friend, my soulmate, my sister, my ass,” Tamra wrote in an Instagram Story about the Coto Insurance founder. She added, “I felt like I just took the biggest dump of my life. So refreshed. So relieved.”
The days of the Tres Amigas “whooping it up” and dancing on the bartop in Andalés may be gone for good.
Real Housewives of Orange County is now streaming on Peacock.
