Tamra Got Upset When Shannon Ordered A Drink


As the group sat down for their meal, Shannon, who has always been known for her love of vodka sodas, ordered her classic drink. That move set the stage for a high-octane clash. Tamra, never one to shy away from confrontation, threw shade at Shannon’s choice, making a cutting remark about her drinking habits that left the entire table in stunned silence. It wasn’t just a comment—it was an explosive moment of public shaming.

Shannon, known for her fiery personality, wasn’t about to let Tamra’s dig slide. She fired back, accusing Tamra of being on her case for years and questioning why she felt entitled to judge her. Tamra, ever the provocateur, didn’t miss a beat, retorting with another jab about Shannon’s apparent lack of genuine remorse.

The conversation quickly turned into a battleground of personal grievances. Emily Simpson, always the peacemaker, stepped in to defend Shannon, suggesting that she had been working hard to turn her life around since the DUI.


Gina Kirschenheiter echoed Emily’s sentiments, asserting that Shannon had been making positive strides. However, Tamra was unmoved, using her confessional to accuse Shannon of using her rehab stint as a cover-up rather than addressing her drinking problem.

The dinner took an even more dramatic turn when Shannon called out Tamra for her own drinking issues. She recounted an incident where Tamra was so inebriated at Nobu that she needed assistance to get home. Tamra brushed off the accusation, arguing that there’s a clear difference between having a good time and being an alcoholic.

Adding to the drama, Vicki Gunvalson, who was there to support Shannon, blasted Tamra’s behavior as “disgusting” and confronted her over leaving the Tres Amigas tour.


Tamra’s retort was blunt: she felt uncomfortable continuing with the tour because Shannon had been caught driving drunk and needed to go to rehab. She further accused Shannon of attending the program not to tackle her alcohol issues but to sort out her poor dating choices.

The heated exchange continued with Shannon accusing Tamra of lying about her own issues. Tamra threw more accusations about Shannon’s financial troubles, particularly focusing on the $75,000 she allegedly owes her ex, John Janssen. This latest accusation led to Shannon storming out, clearly fed up with the relentless barrage.

The aftermath of the dinner didn’t cool things down. Emily and Alexis Bellino chimed in, with Alexis brandishing receipts to counter Tamra’s claims, and Emily couldn’t resist adding a cheeky comment about the whole situation. To cap it all off, Shannon advised Alexis to keep her own receipts in case things go south with John.


Tamra stood her ground, making it clear that she’s done with Shannon if she doesn’t get help. The episode closed with a dramatic flourish, showcasing the messy mix of personal vendettas and unresolved issues that make The Real Housewives of Orange County a must-watch.
