Shannon Beador Responds to Speculated Filming Drama with Tamra Judge on RHOC
Shannon Beador is doing her utmost to steer clear of further drama.
During her appearance on the Monday, March 17, episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, the star of The Real Housewives of Orange County carefully sidestepped revealing details about season 19.
“We began filming in February,” Beador, 60, shared with host Jeff Lewis, while confirming that there’s already a lot of drama in the works. “Yes, read the tabloids, the bloggers, whatever.”
When asked about Gretchen Rossi‘s status after being named a “friend” of the cast, Beador indicated she has been a positive addition.
“Yes, I like her,” she said. “She’s very kind, and I think it’s wonderful that she’s on the show.”
When Lewis, 54, probed further, asking if Rossi, 46, brought along a friend to the show, Beador admitted she wasn’t aware. He later inquired if Vicki Gunvalson would make an appearance in season 19.
“I don’t know. I don’t think so,” Beador answered. “Honestly, I’m out of the loop.”
While storylines remain under wraps, The Real Housewives of Orange County made headlines earlier this week when the cast was spotted filming in New Orleans.
Beador and Rossi joined Emily Simpson, Heather Dubrow, Katie Ginella, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jennifer Pedranti, and Tamra Judge for an eventful cast outing.
In the midst of filming, Judge appeared to quit the show when she shared a personal message on social media.
“It was a long run! When life presents real challenges, this reality s— doesn’t resonate,” she wrote on her Instagram Story on March 9. “Peace out … I’m out.”
Later that month, on her iHeartRadio “Two T’s in a Pod” podcast, Judge elaborated on her seemingly sudden decision to leave the show.
“I think I just hit a wall. There’s so much happening in my life and it’s just I don’t know,” Judge reflected, admitting she has been attending therapy. “I just hit a wall and feel like I’m going to be in a full depressed state.”
As filming progresses, Beador is also anticipated to feature in Bravo’s new series Love Hotel. This reality show unites some fan favorites from the The Real Housewives franchise for a luxurious escape in hopes of finding true love.
When asked about the show’s release date, Beador coyly responded, “Soon, I can just say soon.”
A premiere date for The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 has not yet been announced, but previous episodes are available for streaming on Peacock.
