Shannon Beador blasted Tamra Judge after being slammed for ‘not taking accountability’ following her 2023 DUI.
In the Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 trailer, Tamra repeatedly criticizes Shannon, making it clear that she won’t accept any indication that Shannon isn’t taking her DUI consequences seriously.
Leading up to the show’s premiere on Thursday, Shannon shared her thoughts on her costar, and former BFF’s, persistent ‘attacks’ in an interview with E! News.
‘She has no right!’ Shannon exclaimed. ‘She has had no part of anything that I have done since my DUI. None. In fact, she left town the day after my DUI. I hear that she’s saying, “I was there for her and I did this.” No you weren’t.’
She continued: ‘Who made you the judge and jury of what I should and shouldn’t be doing in my life? Focus on yours, because I’m focusing on mine.’

Shannon, who was sentenced to three years’ probation after crashing her car into a Newport Beach, Calif. home, then admitted that at the time of her DUI, she had been using alcohol as a ‘coping mechanism’ amid her break-up with John Janssen.
Since the DUI incident, Shannon has actively participated in a wellness and alcohol program, as well as commenced regular sessions with a trauma therapist and psychiatrist.
‘I feel good about where I am right now. I know I continually will have to work on becoming a healthier and better person, but I’m very proud of where I’ve come at this point,’ she said.
The clap back comes after Shannon had previously praised Tamra and their costar Vicki Gunvalson for supporting her during the DUI fallout.
‘These two have been an incredible support system to me,’ she gushed to Us Weekly at BravoCon 2023.
‘Tamra was leaving for The Traitors [in Scotland] on the day that my DUI became public, and she didn’t even want to go. She honestly was there [for me].’
Sounding like true BFFs, Tamra added at the time, ‘I just wanted to lay in bed with her and watch TV. And then order up room service.’
Shannon was arrested for DUI alcohol and hit-and-run September 17 in Orange County, as authorities said she hit a house, parked in the middle of a street and pretended she was walking her dog.
