Bravo recently premiered its newest limited series, “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th.” While not part of the principal cast, Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge appeared in the premiere and clashed while filming at The Quiet Woman, leading to them being disinvited from the finale. Now, the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star is reflecting on the rescinded invite and her status with Judge following the RHUGT snub.
Shannon Beador Confirmed Previous Reports She’d Been Disinvited From The RHUGT Finale
GettyBeador interviewed with Entertainment Tonight in August 2026 to promote “The Real Housewives of Orange County.” During the conversation, the topic of her clash with Judge from The Quiet Woman was mentioned, with the 62-year-old Bravo star defending herself against some of her costar’s claims and sharing the aftermath of their verbal fight.
She said, “What upset me the most about the whole thing was that I was supposed to go to the finale at The Berkshires.” Beador went on to say that she had “felt very honored” to have been invited to the finale for “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th.”
The RHOC star added, “So, for me, that was a huge blow that I wasn’t able to go when I feel as though I wasn’t really the instigator.” After that, she stated that “Tamra instigated a lot of other things that night,” including with the other “Housewives” stars.
From there, the reporter, Brice Sander, clarified that both Beador and Judge had been disinvited from the finale, with her confirming, “Yes. From both of us. We were both not allowed to go.”
The ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ Star Discussed Her Relationship With Tamra Judge Moving Forward
GettyBeador also discussed how she plans to navigate her often challenging relationship with Judge moving forward. She said, “I’m not gonna go on social media and make comments.” The RHOC star continued, “But I have fun with her, and that’s my plan, is to continue on that road.”
From there, Sander mentioned how other “Real Housewives of Orange County” stars had accused Judge of having changed since starting her podcast network. However, according to Beador, the changes have been for the better.
She said, “I mean, there’s definitely a difference in Tamra this season. She’s like a completely different person, which is good.” Beador then said, “But I don’t know that I noticed anything different after the podcast. Tamra is Tamra, and I think that she’s been the same Tamra since I met her.”
When asked if she “buys” that Judge has really changed, Beador stated, “Time will tell.” She went on to say that Judge has “been kind,” noting that “there are some things that come up later in the season,” regarding the “Two Ts” host having come to her defense.
RHOC Season 20 Premiered In July
In addition to appearing on “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th,” Beador has also returned for her 12th consecutive season of “Orange County.” Alongside her and Judge, the season also stars Vicki Gunvalson, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, and newbie Carmella Garcia. Bravo released the trailer in June 2026.
It’s worth noting that the newest season was filmed roughly a month after the events featured in RHUGT.
