The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 aired its season finale on Thursday, October 31, 2024. The segment saw Jenn Pedranti get engaged to Ryan Boyajian but the party caused a disagreement with the bride-to-be and Tamra Judge.
Tamra wanted to clear the air about Shannon Beador's role in their friendship being on rocky grounds, but Jennifer didn't want to discuss that at the party. She asked Tamra to leave because she was "tired" of trying to hash out their differences.
Fans reacted to the confrontation online and criticized Tama for trying to blame Shannon for her dynamic with Jenn:
"tamra trying to blame shannon for the demise of her friendship with jenn as if she hasn’t been trying to destroy her life on national TV for two years is masterful gaslighting," a fan said.
"I love how Tamra completely just ignored the boundaries Jenn set. She specifically said she didn’t want to talk about this right before and during this party. The fact that Jenn even talked with you and was very calm about it is very kind," a fan commented.
"Tamra is so delusional and takes zero accountability on top of gaslighting. Good for you Jen, don’t let her bulldoze you into making up temporarily until she magically has an issue about something else she pulls out of her flat wrinkly a**," a tweet read.
Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 praised Jenn for standing up to Tamra.
"Awesome to see Jenn not letting up against Tamra!!" a fan commented.
"Omg Jenn is standing on business! Unlike these other girls she’s not buying Tamra’s bullsh*t! She said my relationship with Shannon has nothing to do with this. Back to you!!!!" a tweet read.
"Boom!!! Jenn said clear as day. I’m tired of hashing it out with you and going back to where you started Tamra!!!!!!! Ding-ding Shannon is not at fault for this crumbling friendship it’s Tamra!!!!!" a person wrote.
Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 also said that Tamra hated that "she couldn't villainize Shannon" for her drinking. They claimed that it was why she made Shannon the "villain in the demise of her relationship with Jenn."
"Tamra telling Jenn that she’s “so happy” for her when she’s been accusing Ryan of being so messy that the FBI got involved, that he’s cheated on her, that he’s lied to her…" a person wrote.
"Tamra hates that she couldn’t villainize Shannon for her drinking so she settled on making her the villain in the demise of her relationship w/Jenn when Tamra had already set that bridge ablaze," a fan commented.
