During Gretchen Rossi and Shannon Beador’s Watch What Happens Live appearance on Monday night, they argued over Tamra Judge . Shannon, who currently stars on The Real Housewives of Orange County with Tamra, said that Tamra is now a changed person while Gretchen, who was on five seasons of the show with Tamra, maintained that Tamra really is just a bad person who backstabs all of her co-stars eventually.
Host Andy Cohen told Gretchen that Tamra, during her own WWHL appearance last week, named her as the person that she doesn’t want back on Real Housewives . Gretchen replied that Tamra doesn’t want her back because she knows all of her secrets. Gretchen explained that she’s now friends with Tamra’s ex-BFF Ricky Santana, who told her about all of the nasty things that Tamra said and did after the end of their friendship.
“Because I’m friends with her ex-BFF Ricky, who has a lot of dirt to tell me about her.”
Shannon immediately gave Gretchen a dirty look and said that Ricky has given her the wrong information.
“But he’s not accurate.”
Ricky had something to say about Shannon describing him as “not accurate.” He tweeted that he actually showed Shannon a text that Tamra had sent him that said negative things about Shannon.
The ‘inaccurate” comment about me by shannon has a huge story behind it, I showed SB a text tj sent me about neg things of SB #textsdontlue

Ricky didn’t reveal when the text was sent or the actual “neg things” that it contained. Perhaps Shannon confronted Tamra about the text and Tamra convinced her that Ricky was lying?
In response to someone who asked why his friendship with Tamra ended, Ricky said that they had many falling outs over the years and that he just couldn’t do it anymore .
“tamra and I had many falling outs in the many years we were friends… I couldn’t do it anymore…”
Ricky added that he apologized to Gretchen after the end of his friendship with Tamra for being a part of Tamra’s antics against her.

Ricky, who was actually Tamra’s “Man of Honor” at her wedding to Eddie Judge in June 2013, now describes Gretchen as a “fabulous friend .”

On Watch What Happens Live , host Andy Cohen revealed that during a commercial break, Gretchen and Shannon argued over Tamra. Gretchen said that she told Shannon that Tamra is “the biggest pot-stirrer of them all” on The Real Housewives of Orange County and that it’s obvious that she’s now “drinking the Kool-Aid,” i.e. she’s being manipulated by Tamra. Gretchen added that Shannon has yet to go through “the five years of the torture that Tamra has put her through.” Shannon replied that Tamra has changed.
“I’ve seen the transformation. I’ve spent a lot of time with her and she went through a lot and we’re close right now. I’m a very good judge of character. We’re in a good space and she’s a good person.”
On Twitter, Ricky pointed out that Shannon hasn’t known Tamra for very long.
“shannon is obviously drunk…again! I am very accurate I was friends with tamra 4 over 10 yrs, SB has known her 4 a minute”
As previously reported by the Inquisitr , Tamra Judge has responded to Gretchen Rossi and Shannon Beador’s comments about her.
