Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC) were treated to an unexpected blast from Shannon Beador in a recent fan-shared TikTok video.
The 61-year-old reality star did not hold back in her remarks about former friend and co-star Tamra Judge, 58, referring to her as “Tamra Grudge” while reflecting on the drama-filled season 19 of the long-running Bravo series.
In the clip, originally posted by TikTok user Emily Skulick on November 30, Shannon candidly admitted she has not yet been approached to return for season 20 of RHOC.
But despite the uncertainty surrounding her future on the show, Shannon did not hesitate to call out Tamra in front of the camera, revisiting the tension and personal attacks that defined the previous season.
“My dad running into Shannon Beador and her going off on Tamara ‘Grudge’ was not on my bingo card this year … We love you Shannon,” Skulick captioned the viral video. The clip quickly garnered attention, with fans praising Shannon’s honesty and outspoken nature.
“This season was freaking dark,” Shannon began, describing season 19 as emotionally taxing. But her focus quickly turned to Tamra, whom she accused of trying to “destroy [her] life.” The reality star did not hold back in her description, dubbing her former castmate “Tamra Grudge” in a pointed jab.
“You know what?” Shannon continued in the video. “Last season, you tried to destroy my life. You know what I did this season? I gave you a gift. I gave you a gift.
And this is between us: I filmed with you, I laughed with you, I even went on a f*cking trip where you packed a book called, ‘How Not to Be a Miserable Cow.’ And I went on that trip. So I don’t hold a grudge, Tamra Grudge. No.
I’m very kind.”
Her words suggest that, despite the confrontations and personal attacks, Shannon made a conscious effort to rise above the conflict and maintain a sense of composure.
The gift she referred to, though not specified in the clip, symbolizes an attempt at reconciliation or at least an olive branch amid the chaos of reality television drama.
Shannon’s use of humor—both in her sarcastic reference to the book and the nickname “Tamra Grudge”—underscores the dual nature of her message: while she felt wronged, she also wanted to assert control over her own narrative.
Reality TV fans quickly noticed the playful yet pointed tone, recognizing it as a classic Beador move, blending candor with comedic relief.
The video also included Shannon’s comments on her potential return to RHOC. “Anyways, I don’t even know if I’m getting asked back next year. We haven’t found out yet,” she revealed, leaving fans in suspense about her involvement in the upcoming season.
This uncertainty adds another layer to her remarks, as she navigates her complicated relationship with both the show and her former co-stars.
This is not the first time Shannon has publicly criticized Tamra. During the season 19 reunion, she first labeled her as “Tamra Grudge,” igniting a social media feud.
Tamra quickly fired back on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “This is coming from the girl who can’t let anything go or move forward.
I wonder how many times she practiced that line with Archie the night before.” The back-and-forth between the former friends has become a focal point for fans who closely follow the ongoing drama between the women.

While Shannon’s recent TikTok rant may seem harsh, it also reflects the complex interpersonal dynamics that have long been a hallmark of RHOC. Over the years, both Shannon and Tamra have been central figures in the series, and their personal and professional interactions have frequently made headlines.
The latest episode of public commentary serves as a reminder of the emotional stakes involved in reality television, where personal relationships are constantly tested in the public eye.

Shannon’s candid remarks, however, give fans a glimpse of the tensions and unresolved issues that could carry over into the next season, should she be invited back.
Social media reactions to Shannon’s comments have been mixed. Some fans praised her honesty and humor, applauding her for addressing the drama head-on rather than letting it fester behind the scenes.
Others speculated about the underlying reasons for her feud with Tamra, debating whether the issues stem from personal differences or the pressures of reality television. Regardless of the interpretation, Shannon’s rant has reignited interest in the franchise and reminded fans why RHOC remains a staple in the Bravo lineup.
Ultimately, Shannon Beador’s TikTok video is a testament to the enduring drama, humor, and emotional complexity that The Real Housewives of Orange County is known for.
By calling out Tamra Judge as “Tamra Grudge” while simultaneously asserting that she does not hold a grudge herself, Shannon blends confrontation with self-assuredness, creating a moment that fans are unlikely to forget.
Whether or not Shannon returns for season 20, her candidness and willingness to speak her truth ensure that her voice continues to resonate with RHOC fans.
As the countdown to the next season continues, viewers will undoubtedly be watching closely to see if “Tamra Grudge” and Shannon Beador’s turbulent friendship takes center stage once again.
