Did Shannon Beador Hire an Attorney to Find Out If Gina Kirschenheiter Pushed Her Boyfriend Travis Down the Stairs?
“I’m f---ing tired of you lying about me," Shannon Beador told Tamra Judge on the Oct. 24 episode of 'Real Housewives of Orange County'
Accusations of investigations are getting deeper on The Real Housewives of Orange County.
After Shannon Beador showed Jenn Pedranti screenshots of Tamra Judge investigating her boyfriend Ryan, Tamra revealed Shannon had been doing the same on the Oct. 24 episode of RHOC.
During a group lunch in London, Tamra told Gina Kirschenheiter that Shannon had been looking into her relationship with Travis Mullen. “If I told you that Shannon dug up information about you and consulted an attorney to find out if you threw Travis down the stairs, would you be upset about that?” she questioned.
“Is that what happened?” Gina then asked her costar, to which Tamra answered, “Yes.”
In 2022, news broke that Gina allegedly pushed her boyfriend down a flight of stairs — claims Gina has vehemently denied.
“Travis’ ex-wife, she is a horrible person,” Gina explained. “This woman is telling complete f---ing lies. She told bloggers I’m bigger than Travis, I beat him up regularly, throwing him down the stairs. I have separated the home I was sharing with the love of my life to get away from this insanity.”
“Tamra doesn’t care if she wants to get someone,” she continued. “I have a problem with that when I’m hurt in the process.”
Gina told Tamra that she “can’t help that” Travis’ ex is “devoted to trying to ruin our lives,” but wished her friends didn’t bring it up on the show, giving it more attention.
“I’m telling you this because you schooled me all day long saying, 'Do the right thing with Jenn,' [saying], ‘You shouldn’t have done that,’” Tamra said. “I'm not the one digging up information. Your friend Shannon dug up information about you pushing Travis down the stairs.”
“I’m pissed about that but I’m pissed at you for not telling me,” Gina responded.
Shannon, who was outside talking to Heather Dubrow, then reentered the room and Gina was ready to confront her.
“This is complicated now,” Gina said. “It is a setback and now we have a problem, Shannon. [Tamra] told me that you were trying to dig up information prior to the reunion about Travis.”
“Tamra, you were so involved with that — you’re the one that told me the story,” Shannon snapped.
Tamra, however, said she never talked about the story with Shannon when it came out because she and Shannon were “not speaking” and Tamra was “not even in this group” in 2022.
“Blame me, I’ll take f---ing responsibility,” Shannon then said. “I’m f---ing tired of you lying about me. F---ing day four of my trip, Tamra Judge is calling me a liar again, I’m going home.”
Tamra didn’t back down, adding that she called former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and friend on season 17 of RHOC, Taylor Armstrong, to confirm that Shannon asked her attorney husband to look into Gina and Travis — and she did.
“You know what? Stop,” Shannon exclaimed as Katie Ginella quipped, “Has there ever been a dinner with this group of women that has been pleasant?”
“This has to stop here,” Gina then chimed in. “I am not going to take this s--- from anyone here ever again. It is nasty and it’s enough. We can't be doing this bulls--- to each other.”
Shannon and Tamra ignored Gina’s calls for peace, continuing to argue over who started the string of investigations.
“What the f--- kind of person are you painting me out to be?” Shannon asked Tamra, claiming that her "purpose in bringing it up" to Jenn was "to clear my name" and emphasize "that you are the one that investigates everyone.”
As the women yelled back and forth and Tamra leaned in towards Shannon's seat, Tamra provoked her, saying, "What are you gonna do, hit me?"
As the other women sat there in silence, Tamra went on to accuse Shannon of telling Jenn she dug into Ryan’s past in an effort to “interrupt our friendship,” but Shannon noted that Tamra had already been fighting with Jenn when she told Katie to ask Jenn and Ryan about “the FBI” weeks prior.
“Yeah I apologized,” Tamra said, as Shannon exclaimed, "That's what you do Tamra, you get super drunk, you say a bunch of stuff and then you go, ‘I'm sorry.'"
Tamra responded by bringing up Shannon’s DUI, saying, “I apologize, okay, at least I don't drive my car into a house!"
“You hurt people when you do that,” Shannon said, storming out of the restaurant.
“I’m out, I don't a f---,” she continued. “Me walking out this door, that is growth. I'm not going to allow toxic people to penetrate my life anymore.”
