“Real Housewives of Orange County” stars Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge spoke about the show’s upcoming seventeenth season in an April 25 Instagram Live interview with Donald Adler of Bravo Social. Beador acknowledged that the season 17 trailer showed her leaving an event and requesting production to “stop with the cameras.” The Real for Real founder explained her heated departure was caused by feeling frustrated by her castmates. She stated that issues arose because “there’s certain people on the cast that seem to think they know everything about [her].” Beador also suggested that she has not reconciled with the unnamed individuals.
“They know absolutely nothing. So they’re going to hear it from me. Yeah, they’re going to still hear it from me,” asserted the reality television star.
In the Instagram Live video, Beador shared she believed RHOC season 17 is better than past seasons because of Judge coming back to the Bravo franchise after a two-year absence. While Judge appreciated the compliment, she revealed she thinks “it makes an ensemble to make good TV.” Her castmate agreed with her, stating, “I think our cast kind of works together because we’ve been together for a while.”
Beador also noted that “some relationships are probably never going to get better” on RHOC. Judge chimed in that the dynamics between some RHOC cast members “got worse” during the production of season 17, which will premiere on June 7, 2023. Beador then teased that there will be significant drama between castmates.
“This isn’t just a little thing, it’s flipping huge,” shared the mother of three.
