Tamra Judge Claims Shannon Beador is a ‘Calculated Person’ But Doesn’t Show It On RHOC

Tamra Judge claims Shannon Beador is a “very calculated person” but doesn’t show that side of herself on RHOC. Plus. so much more!

According to Tamra Judge, “Shannon [Beador] is a very calculated person.”

“She doesn’t show it on camera, but she’s very calculated and very smart, and she tries to dig up dirt on people before every reunion or even before filming,” Tamra Judge explained while chatting with Bravo TV.

Tamra then dished on a snooping extravaganza Shannon engaged in during last year’s Labor Day.

While boating with RHOC alum Taylor Armstrong and her husband, John Bluher, Tamra claims Shannon started looking into rumors that Gina Kirschenheiter pushed boyfriend Travis Mullen down the stairs.

“She knew that her and Gina were going to be battling at the reunion. So she asked Taylor’s husband to look up information to find out about Gina pushing Travis down the stairs, and she said that’s why she stopped drinking, is because she pushed Travis down the stairs and he gave her an ultimatum,” Tamra Judge shared. “I was not there. I had nothing to do with it, but Shannon had called me the night before the reunion and told me what she was doing. And she said Taylor called her and said John doesn’t want to get involved.”

Meanwhile, Heather Dubrow agreed with Tamra’s take on Shannon’s hypocrisy on RHOC. Fancy Pants noted that Shannon had issues with old topics being rehashed on RHOC when she is the one who showed Jennifer Pedranti an old text message about Tamra digging into Ryan Boyajian‘s past.

“Jenn was so pissed off at Tamra for looking up Ryan two years ago, but Shannon’s the one that gave her the information. But why did she give her the information now when it happened two years ago?” Heather questioned. “That caused Tamra to retaliate and show that it wasn’t just her, that Shannon had been digging up things also, and she dug up things on Travis.”

“It devolved into this finger-pointing and mean and all these things, and I think that when Shannon was faced with the fact that she does this stuff too, she just took off,” she added.

While Tamra and Heather were ambivalent about Shannon’s early departure from the RHOC season 18 cast trip to London, co-star Emily Simpson was sad to see Shannon go.

“I wish Shannon wouldn’t have left. I just felt really sad that she felt like she had to get a ticket and fly home alone,” Emily admitted. “And I could just picture her being in the airport alone and having her own luggage and getting on this flight and flying home alone, and it just made me sad that she felt she had to do that.”
