Vicki Gunvalson Responds to Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge’s Holiday Reunion

“The Real Housewives of Orange County” stars Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador are all smiles, and Vicki Gunvalson had something to say about it. Following a tumultuous year for their friendship, as seen on RHOC season 18, Judge and Beador were seen together in a group hug with their co-stars Emily Simpson, Heather Dubrow, and Gina Kirschenheiter, in a December 21 Instagram post from Kirschenheiter.

“Perfect holiday lunch celebrating all the history we have together and all the successes we have brought eachother through all the ups and downs,” Kirschenheiter captioned her post. “❤️ Laughs were had, gifts were exchanged and Shannon’s clearly still Shannon [referencing a photo from the post where Beador had to pull a lot of cash out on the table] 😂 🫶🏻.”

“Hope you all had a great time! Sorry I couldn’t make it,” RHOC alum Vicki Gunvalson commented on the photos of the five friends (and sometimes frenemies).

None of the RHOC stars responded to Gunvalson’s comment on Kirschenheiter’s post, but Judge took the chance to address it in the December 24 episode of her iHeartRadio podcast “Two Ts in a Pod”.

“She wasn’t invited,” Judge told her “Two Ts” co-host Teddi Mellencamp. “I don’t know what she’s doing lately but she’s really making herself look desperate. I don’t like to comment on things she says and does but it’s getting to the point that it’s ridiculous and it’s embarrassing for her. I don’t know if you’re aware of this but she did a live recently for her podcast and she really went off on us. We live rent-free in her head, and it’s really sad because in the podcast world there’s room for everybody… It’s really sad that she’s gone to this level, and she’s starting to remind me of somebody else that used to be on the show. And look how well that worked out for her.”

Shannon Beador Cast Uncertainty on RHOC Return

While the five RHOC ladies appear to be on amicable terms, their fates on the series are uncertain as filming has yet to pick up for season 19. While season 18 Friend of the Housewives Alexis Bellino has confirmed she would not be returning, the rest of the casting has yet to be announced.

In an October 31 interview with People, Beador said she might not accept an offer to return to the show if presented one. “[It] depends on who I would be on the season with,” she told the outlet. “And I’m not saying that in a threatening way. I experienced some time with people that were very unhealthy for me to be around. That’s important in my life right now, to make healthy choices and to separate myself from toxic situations.”
