Tamra Judge explodes at Shannon Beador for 'staying around too long out of desperation to save her reputation' denounces her husband Eddie's demeaning behavior and reveals bitter regret for defending Gretchen Rossi and Jen Pedranti

Tamra Judge appeared on Thursday night’s Watch What Happens Live, where she shaded Shannon Beador, claiming she’s overstayed her welcome on The Real Housewives of Orange County.

While also reacting to Shannon, 61, suggesting on her own episode of WWHL that Eddie Judge, 52, gave off the most “small d*ck energy” on the show, poking fun at Gretchen Rossi‘s use of filters, and labeling Jennifer Pedranti‘s wedding plans as “tacky,” Tamra, 57, offered an update on Teddi Mellencamp‘s cancer battle, gushed over her friendships with Alexis Bellino, 48, and John Janssen, 62, and more.

On the July 10 episode of WWHL, after being asked which Real Housewives star had overstayed their welcome, Tamra replied, “Shannon Beador. I feel like it’s the same thing every single season. There’s no growth.”

She then reacted to Shannon dissing Eddie, saying, “I think Shannon has small d*ck energy.”

“It means to be very insecure and all that stuff. I think she should open up her drawers and look down because she’s got small d*ck energy,” Tamra noted.

That said, she did express regret about her past claim that Shannon was an alcoholic.

“I might’ve said that she has a drinking problem vs she’s an alcoholic,” she shared.

Looking back at the past two seasons, specifically the returns of Alexis and Gretchen, 46, Tamra compared the two.

“I mean, I like Alexis. We get along well. I tried my best with Gretchen to move forward, but you have to understand she wants to fight about things that weren’t even filmed in HD,” Tamra explained, proceeding to throw some shade, saying, “I know that she loves a blur in the face, but it’s like, girl, we didn’t even have HD back then. Just let it go.”

Tama also disses Gretchen when asked to say three nice things about her return.

“No, it’s not happening,” she replied.

Moving on to her feud with Jennifer, 48, Tamra made it clear that she was not going after “her Labubu boyfriend,” Ryan Boyajian, 48. Still, Andy Cohen, 57, warned her to be careful since they were live, giving a nod to her past suggestion that he was guilty of crimes pertaining to an MLB gambling scandal.

“I know … allegedly,” she shared.

While Tamra didn’t make any additional claims against Ryan, she did shade his and Jennifer’s plans to potentially get married in swimsuits.

“It’s kind of tacky,” she described.

Amid filming on RHOC season 19 earlier this year, Tamra temporarily quit the show, partially due to the heaviness she was feeling due to Teddi’s battle with brain and lung cancer. Months later, she shared a positive update on her friend and podcast co-host.

“Teddi is the strongest person I know. She’s dealing with a lot, and she’s really fighting for her life. I love her so much, and I think she’s gonna beat it. I think her strong mind and her positive attitude is gonna beat it, and she inspires me,” Tamra declared. “Her doctor told her that she’s like the 1% where the immunotherapy is actually helping to shrink the tumors. And I just want her better … I love her so much.”

Then, speaking of Katie Ginella, 41, Tamra said she was confused about her identity.

“I feel like she comes off very sweet and innocent, and I’m not sure what she’s done is because she is a bad person or she got caught up in being on this show,” she reasoned.

Although the WWHL audience expressed that they were not convinced she’d changed for the better during a live poll, Tamra pointed out that they were “one episode” in as she confirmed she’s still in therapy.

“I wanna say [it’s going] great, but it’s a process,” she explained.

Meanwhile, Eddie confirmed that he’s seen positive changes.

“[She’s] much more calm,” he insisted.

Later, while appearing on the WWHL: After Show, Tamra gushed over her closeness to Alexis and John as she confirmed she would be in attendance at their upcoming wedding.

“I’m actually really good friends with Alexis and John, and I will be attending their wedding. Alexis is very sweet, very kind. She calls me all the time to see how I’m doing, and even when it comes to Shannon, she’s very kind about her,” she insisted. “Like, what you saw last year is not the Alexis I know. She’s just very sweet and kind. I love her. And they’re so in love.”

Tamra also confirmed that Heather Dubrow, 56, had been invited to their big day before mentioning that it was previously set for the same day as the RHOC reunion taping in October. 

“They were gonna shoot the reunion the same day as her wedding, and they changed it last minute … the reunion date. So I’m like, ‘Oh no,’” she recalled.

The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
