The holiday season brought an unexpected twist for Real Housewives of Orange County fans when Shannon Beador was spotted hanging out with Tamra Judge. The reunion of these two longtime friends caught the attention of many, especially given the tension between them in RHOC Season 18. Fans are still reeling from Tamra’s harsh treatment of Shannon Beador following her DUI incident, but the recent social media post from Gina Kirschenheiter paints a different picture.
In a Instagram post, Gina shared a photo of herself, Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge, Emily Simpson, and Heather Dubrow. The group of ladies were all smiles, hugging each other, and clearly enjoying each other’s company during a festive holiday lunch. Gina wrote in the caption:
“Perfect holiday lunch celebrating all the history we have together and all the successes we have brought each other through all the ups and downs. ?? Laughs were had, gifts were exchanged and Shannon’s clearly still Shannon ??? Happy holidays to all our loyal, amazing fans who stick with us through it all. ?? We love and appreciate you.”
Gina also highlighted the matching bracelets the ladies wore, symbolizing their friendship and shared memories.
However, while the reunion may have been heartwarming, it also raised some eyebrows. Many fans expressed their disappointment in Shannon Beador’s swift forgiveness of Tamra, especially after the way Tamra publicly came after Shannon following her DUI incident. During Season 18, Tamra Judge did not hold back in criticizing Shannon, and the fallout made Shannon Beador a fan favorite.
The reunion photo also had some notable absences—Jennifer Pedranti and Katie Ginella were missing from the gathering, which sparked some curiosity among fans.
Are you surprised Shannon Beador was able to move forward so quickly with the ladies?
