Kelly Dodd Picks a Side in Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge Feud

Kelly Dodd hasn’t been part of the Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC) cast in years but has a strong opinion on the feud between Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador.

Kelly Dodd is one of the most controversial Real Housewives in the history of the franchise. She joined The Real Housewives of Orange County in Season 11 but was fired in 2021 after five seasons. Her comments during the COVID pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement sealed her fate.

Unfortunately, viewers didn’t get to see much of her romance with former Fox News correspondent Rick Leventhal. The couple married in 2020 and have been living their best lives traveling together. The journalist left Fox News in 2021 and joined Newsmax with a new show earlier this year.

Kelly Dodd and her husband also have a podcast/vlog, The Rick & Kelly Show. Despite leaving RHOC, Kelly Dodd seemingly keeps up on the drama between her former co-stars.

The main storyline for Season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County is Shannon Beador’s September 2023 DUI arrest and the aftermath. She had a falling out with former friend Tamra Judge, who insists that Shannon is an alcoholic who refuses to take accountability.

The two seemingly buried the hatchet during the last episode, but real Bravo fans know the hatchet never stays buried for long.

See how Shannon walked away when Tamra mentioned her DUI and the fact that she drove into a house. She didn’t overreact or lose control, she just tearfully walked away. Very demure. Very mindful. #RHOC pic.twitter.com/s2hWghFqPO

During her time on the Bravo show, Kelly Dodd constantly feuded with one co-star or another, particularly Vicki Gunvalson. Is she on Team Tamra or Team Shannon?

Shannon Beador’s latest post was a huge hint that she’s no longer friends with Tamra Judge. She posted photos with several of her other RHOC co-stars, including Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson. Another photo showed Shannon with Heather Dubrow and Jen Pedranti.

However, Tamra Judge was nowhere to be found.

And Kelly Dodd shared her unfiltered thoughts on the development in the comments on the Instagram post.

“Good pushing Tamrat out. Wish you were in Paris with us .. I wish Stella and Jolie were in the same apt.”

Both Shannon’s daughter, Stella, and Kelly’s daughter, Jolie, are in college in Paris, France.
