Shannon Beador Finally Opens Up About Falling Out With Tamra Judge And Vicki Gunvalson; Says “I Really Have No Reason To Be Around Them Anymore”

Shannon Beador is sounding off about her fallouts with former Real Housewives of Orange County co-stars Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson.

"I'm not gonna lie, at the very beginning of filming I was a little concerned, because I didn't really have close relationships with any of the cast," Shannon told Entertainment Tonight. "But you know, what has been nice about it is that I have been able to develop those relationships now that Vicki and Tamra aren't there."

Judge and Gunvalson have revealed that they are no longer friends with Beador after Beador stopped answering their phone calls and didn't make any time for them after rekindling her friendship with Kelly Dodd.

However, Beador is shutting down Judge and Gunvalson's claims. She suggests she didn't know how they were feeling because they went to the press first, instead of her directly.

"I dispute what they've said," she said. "I am not the person to sink down to a level to argue with people -- that I consider close friends -- in the press or on social media. That's not who I am, that's not what I'm made of, so I just feel like I have a little bit more decorum than they do. I don't wanna engage with them, except to say that the things that they've been saying, especially Tamra, it's a laundry list of things that aren't true."

Beador says she had no contact with Judge and Gunvalson and plans not to change that in the future.

"It's interesting when people say, 'You can pick up the phone….' What moron would pick up the phone when someone's been bashing them for months on end?" she asked. "I mean, it almost got to a point where it was weekly, where yet another untruth [would come out] and, you know -- I take the high road in those situations, and I'm gonna continue to do that."

"I really have no reason to be around them anymore," Shannon continued. "We live, like, 45 minutes away from each other, so it's not like we're in the same social circles or anything like that. I don't know when I would ever potentially run into them again."

"I suppose I should never say never, 'cause I'm one of those people that have said, 'I'm done!' And then we're friends, and Kelly Dodd might be an example of that. So, never say never, but for now I don’t, I have no desire.”

Beador then revealed that it was Dodd who helped her process the end of her relationships with Vicki and Tamra before explaining the reason behind their rekindled relationship.

"I'm a very loyal friend, so if you attack my best friend, in my eyes you're attacking me," Shannon told Entertainment Tonight. "I had some revelations after she kind of explained what she was doing. Now, do I think her intentions towards Tamra were kind or nice? No. But I took them personally, that she was going after me, as well, and she explained to me that she wasn't and what she said made sense to me, so when I hear that, I'm going to give her another chance."
