Shannon is done with Tamra, but holds out hope for a friendship with Heather:
I am not happy that I haven’t had time alone with Tamra. Her bike ride ran long and she was even late for the Balinese dancers. I did my best to initiate a conversation one-on-one with her at the dinner table, but, of course, that didn’t work. Tamra was upset that Lizzie told me things that were said behind my back and questions why Lizzie told me. Tamra never denies saying any of those cruel statements. She doesn’t apologize for them. And I never got an explanation before she stormed away from the table. Clearly I never will. Time to move on and know that Tamra is not my friend. Friends don’t talk behind each other’s backs like that.
It is interesting that I have had some fun moments with Heather on this Bali trip. I thought it would be a nice gesture to pull Heather aside on our last night to thank her for including me on the trip. Heather also extended an olive branch by apologizing for talking about my email to her group of friends. Maybe the tides will turn. . .
Lizzie figures out that Tamra is the queen of projection. I’ve been saying that for ages.
I feel like Tamra does a lot of projection from her own life. I read her blog from last week and I must say, what an ugly essay. How dare she say anything about my family or me as a mother? How dare she say I was drunk when I was absolutely not at the Valentine’s party. She was EXTREMELY RUDE to me after the game and visibly bent out of shape over the game. I called her out on the game because that was why she was being so rude. In no way does it give her any merit to say or do any of the things that she has done to me. It’s character defamation. In my experience when people reach at those things about other individuals it says so much more about them. I’m trash, vile, self absorbed, foul, nasty and now I’m a bad mom, family doesn’t mean much to me? WOW! Is she talking about herself or me? What’s next is she going to write my cell phone number on the bathroom wall? Oh, wait she did that, too. I don’t even have to say anything about Tamra Judge. The way she acts and the things that come out of her mouth speak volumes about her character and integrity.
Tamra was in fact the one that drank a lot at the Valentine’s party and she told Danielle the very next day that she didn’t even remember what happened because she drank so much. At the Valentine’s party, I made a point to not drink. The party was on the tail of my birthday party, in which there was quite a bit of drinking, and it didn’t end well. I had maybe a drink and a half and spent the entire night drinking water. Heather had special signature Valentine shots and I passed on those as well. I was NOT drunk in the least. I explained the ‘Shag, Marry, Kill’ game in great detail in my last blog. I am going to say it again and then stop defending myself. The truth is the truth. I pointed out to her, after she basically told me she screwed me over on my birthday on purpose, that she was just mad because her husband wanted to ‘marry’ me. She knows that I said that, too. She got up and repeated it at the door. Every time I try to continue to that part of the story where she REPEATED “marry you?” she gets louder and louder and I am not able to even speak.
I am not proud of calling Tamra “crap” or “insecure.” I just couldn’t help myself. She even attacked my marriage and said “Everyone knows you have a horrible marriage!” I’m sorry, why this woman has any room to speak about anyone’s marriage or parenting is beyond me. That was the last straw for me.
And more projection from Tamra who thinks she is the princess of RHOOC. Tamra’s blog was long an full of denials. SHE is trying to learn to forgive LIZZIE!
For the life of me I have no idea why Lizzie has such a problem with me. I was always so nice to her. One thing that comes to mind is maybe she is used to being the center of attention? So, when things don’t go her way she tries to destroy me and even threatens to destroy her own marriage. She can not handle NOT being the princess of O.C., and she will fight for the RHOC crown. Good luck girl I am not giving that up without a fight.
The bottom line is Vicki is my friend and what she allowed to happen in Bali is sick! I would have never allow that to happen to her. I would have pulled her aside and talked to her first, because that’s what friends do. When Lizzie told me that Vicki threw me under the bus for not going to her party, I kept quiet and called Vicki on the way home from the party. I did not bash her or believe what Lizzie told me. I guess our friendship meant more to me.
Vicki Gunvalson, STILL the voice of reason.
Tamra saying that I wanted to her to “go down” isn’t the truth. I’m tired of her causing problems and never being called out on it because of people fearing her backlash. Every season and every year, she has gone after someone. I don’t know if that’s for the show or if it’s really how she is. I cherish my girlfriends and their trust, and there is NO way I ever had any desire to see her “go down” or be hurt this year. What I do know is that Tamra is known to stir trouble with someone every year — and I for one am tired of it. I really didn’t have much compassion for her after hearing what she had been saying about everyone.
Bottom line is the hurting one another and talking behind everyone’s back has to stop. I’m over it, and it’s hurtful. I have come to be very good friends with Shannon and she’s a great wife, friend, and mother. I was proud of Lizzie to stand up for herself to Tamra and have really come to like her as well.
Heather was in a tough spot that evening and I am proud of how she handled herself as well. I think Heather has gotten some unnecessary “heat” this year — and I for one am sorry for being any part of any hurt I caused to her.
This reunion is going to be epic!
In my opinion, Tamra is trashy
Don’t insult trash like that.
Speaks volumes about Shannon s character that she is looking forward to building a friendship with Heather. THANKS T.T the Parks /Stanton depositions are informative funny & your writing so descriptive its been highlight of my dreary day
I so hope Bravo declines to offer Tamra a contract for next season, but I know that’s a virtual impossibility. Seems the worse you act the more in demand you are in the reality TV game, especially the Housewives franchise. The best revenge on Tamra will be the if her castmates ice her out. Except for Pam, they all are interesting enough to keep things lively. My opinion isn’t formed yet on whether or not I trust Lizzie but she’s outspoken enough to cause some drama if they keep her on. I think they should. And I do love Shannon. She, along with Vicki, will bring a non-malicious kookiness that could be fun to watch…much more than the nasty backbiting that went on this season from Tamra. If Bravo is determined to keep Tamra then I hope the other women band together and continue to call her out each and every time she stirs up shit. It would be interesting to see how Heather handles that if they do it. How long can someone who prides herself in “appropriateness” stomach standing by a friend who’s middle name is “inappropriate”? Do you all think Lizzie will be shown to be a shit stirrer herself at the reunion? I hope not.
It sounds like everyone is finally going to stand united against Tamra. Say it is so! This may be my favourite OC reunion to date.
Mine, too, Michael. I may even watch in real time. I usually just read TT’s recaps and catch bits and pieces on the weekend.
I can hardly wait for Tamara to get hers! Is there redemption in store for Heather? I liked her again in Bali. She was relaxed and not defensive.
To make Tamra’ s reunion complete, Gretchen should be a surprise guest.
Gretchen would show up IF she could hawk her vegetarian purses and Slade could MC it for his radio show?!
I love vegetarian purses. What a charming way to say plastic.
It cracked me up on RHOMel. Made me think of Gretchen!
Just think, they’re gluten free too.
To Tamra’s credit, she doesn’t suck up to Andy as much as some do. Could be its got something to do with Eddie being a gay butt fucker talking about Andy to keep it up while he is trying to do Tamra anally.
Who knows, maybe she just doesn’t care for Cohen that much.
ya think captain o’ captain??? there’s an image that requires some brain bleach….hmmmmmmm!
Or MinotaurMick as my darling husband says… “A bloody poke in the mind’s eye.”.
And really…what is wrong with being a gay butt f*cker sweetie! I think you are barking up the wrong tree with that comment on TT!! Can I get an Ahhmennnn in here!!
I haven’t seen the comment yet. But this board really couldn’t get much gayer. I would not have it any other way. 🙂
Atta gurrrrrrrlllll Tamara!!
Damn! Did you get enough attention as a child? WTF? Do you need a hug? 🙂
Ding Ding Ding…Her Daughter!
MinotaurMick was your comment about barking up the wrong tree for me or captain eel? My post was in reference to Eddie and Tamra having howler monkey sex. I’m sure he has to think of something else to have sex with her be it sex with Andy Cohen or a zombie during the zombie apocalypse. Lol.
Hannah…no the comment was aimed at Cap’n Eel! Her comment seemed somewhat homophobic so thought I would call her out on it!!
Eddie will come OUT in due time…as they always do!!! Who know…maybe Trashy Tamra likes boyz that like boyz! I have lots of gal pals that do…LOL!
Cheers!
Nothing homophobic. Whatsoever.
I can’t wait for this reunion! RHONY was a let down. For me. I figured it would be all about “BookGate” & “LegGate.” 🙁
RHOC should be entertaining!
I’m over Heather too.
Remember when NeNe called Greg a b*tch? Well Terry is the biggest b*tch of all the franchises ever. So smug. Trying to get in there and get himself some tv time, coming off looking petty.
The sheer desperation is readily apparent…he is suck a pissy ‘ol thing! I bet Heather straps one on for him! Now there is a visual for ya in need of some brain bleach…!
It’s that Jim and Amber thing that cracks me up and requires me an eye bleaching! Dina was just “whoopsy daisy, did I say that out loud?” Kinda of apology in her talking head. Love me some Andy!
I’ve said it before and I will say it again. Tamra thinks she is the hottest housewife and she’s bullied all the Ladies…because she thinks she’s the Queen of RHOOC. She’s delusional and is an ol drunk mean girl. She acts as if shes 17 and she’s a bully. I hope they all keep telling the truth and they confront her. Its the only way she will leave or act right.
Vicki is the biggest hypocrite ever if u look back it was Vicki and Tamara that were always bullying, and talking behind the other women’s backs. They were thick as thieves and were always terrible to the other women I think her attitude change towards Tamara has to do with brooks, we all heard him say that their friendship was a problem for him. I dont like tamara but I feel bad for her the way Vicki threw her under the bus for the new girls this year.it wasn’t that long ago that she had a HUGE problem with Gretchen and Tamara becoming friends, I cannot stand Vicki, with her fake gagging in the car, and her fake choking at her daughters. She is soooo attention starved, I felt so bad for her daughter saying how every milestone in her life Vicki always makes everything about her. Poor Briana. ..
