Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 is very nearly upon us. After Season 17 generated so much discussion online, we knew Season 18 would follow quickly behind. But a lot has changed since the Season 17 finale.
While Season 17 mostly revolved around the strange beef between Tamra Judge and Jennifer Pedranti, Tamra had some unexpected schisms since then. The Tres Amigas officially broke up, leaving Tamra divided from her former friends, Shannon Beador and Vicki Gunvalson. As for the cause of the divide, folks quickly pointed to Alexis Bellino.
Since Season 17, Alexis began dating Shannon’s ex, John Janssen. While Vicki and Shannon took issue with the new relationship, Tamra didn’t seem to mind. It was only a matter of time before Alexis would secure a spot among the RHOC cast. So, what will Season 18 hold? See for yourself.
Where does Tamra stand with Jenn and Shannon in RHOC Season 18?
On July 2, Bravo released the first seven minutes of the RHOC Season 18 premiere. After catching brief snippets of what the girls were up to, the cameras caught up with Tamra and Jenn alone at the gym. Jenn told the cameras, “I think we’re moving past everything that happened between us.”
She continued, “I see her for who she is. And so, keeping it light and easy is exactly where I want to keep it with Tamra.” Emily Simpson then joined the pair, discussing her weight loss journey. In the most open fashion, she admitted to using “a little bit of Ozempic,” as well as “some liposuction in my arms” and “busting my ass in the gym.”
The cameras then caught up with Shannon and her daughters. Shannon found herself crying over her DUI. She sobbed and told her daughters, “What kind of example am I at 59?” In private, Shannon told cameras that she was at John’s house the night of the incident. She revved up her engine as loud as she could to let John know she was upset, thereby losing control.
Shannon lamented all the negative milestones she passed – getting arrested, breaking a bone, getting a concussion, and obtaining a DUI. Meanwhile, Tamra, Emily, and Jenn got to talking about Shannon. Jenn acknowledged that perhaps Shannon needed a friend amid her circumstances. Meanwhile, Tamra admitted she simply lost respect for Shannon.
Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 hits Bravo on July 11 at 9/8c.
