The Real Housewives of Orange County released its latest episode on Thursday, October 17, 2024. The segment featured a heated confrontation between Shannon and Tamra regarding a 2018 text message that Alexis sent to the former about a defamation lawsuit.

In the message, Alexis wrote that "we," i.e., she and her ex-husband, had engaged an attorney and would be suing Shannon and Tamra for defamation. Although Alexis claimed she was not involved in the 2018 drama, Shannon knew that was a lie. However, Tamra attacked Shannon by calling her a liar when the latter tried to expose Alexis.

In the latest episode, Shannon confronted Tamra by showing her and the others the 2018 text message, proving that Alexis was a part of the lawsuit. Shannon asked Tamra to stop talking about her and involving her in disputes. Tamra then raised the subject of John Janssen's $75,000 lawsuit against Shannon, attempting to defend herself.

Shannon left the table when Tamra raised her hand and refused to talk to her. The Real Housewives of Orange County fans took to X to comment on their argument. While many criticized Tamra's behavior, others praised Shannon for standing up to her.

"About time Shannon is putting Tamra in her place!! Glad she has the text receipts to prove it!" a fan wrote.
"Team Shannon bring out the text. Tamra is a lunatic," another fan commented.
"Tamra has nothing going on besides other people's business. She gets on my nerves, but she is good tv, I wish Shannon would go in on her like Vicky would," a netizen tweeted.

Many fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County applauded Shannon for exposing Tamra and her lies. They praised the cast member for standing up for herself.

"YASSSSS SHANNON GET MESSY YOU QUEEEEEEN RUIN TAMRA," a user reacted.
"Did I say you have a huge ego? You do!” Shannon just ate Tamra TF up omg," one person commented.
"Shannon turning the tables on Tamra and pulling receipts to show how vile she is my new love language," another fan wrote.

At the same time, The Real Housewives of Orange County fans criticized Tamra for her argument with Shannon in the latest episode.

"Tamra is acting so immature and dismissive by throwing her hand in Shannon’s face. I can’t believe she’s treating her so poorly on her birthday trip with no remorse," a user tweeted.
"If I were Shannon I’d drop Tamra from the trip guest list. If Tamra is going to be this rude and nasty, let her pay her own way," another person reacted.
"Tamra, shut up. Do you honestly think Shannon is spending every waking second talking about you behind her back? She has a bunch of other s**t she has to deal with. Stop thinking your significant when you’re not," one netizen commented.

The Real Housewives of Orange County stars Shannon and Tamra argue about Alexis' 2018 lawsuit message

In the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Double Decker Drama, Shannon revealed that Alexis had sent her a text message in 2018 regarding the defamation lawsuit her ex-husband had filed against her and Tamra. The message read:

"We have engaged an attorney and will be suing you and Tamra...You will be hearing from our attorney."

Shannon shed light on the text to prove that Alexis was involved in the lawsuit even though she denied the allegation. She questioned Tamra about defending Alexis and calling Shannon a liar for trying to expose Alexis' dishonesty. Shannon was surprised that Tamra did not tell anyone in their friend group "Alexis did actually start the suit."

A defensive Tamra said she did not speak on the matter because it was between Shannon and Alexis. At that moment, Emily intervened, asking Tamra to treat Shannon fairly. While speaking to the cameras, she said:

"Honestly, I'm very confused to why Tamra and Heather are consistently Team Alexis. They give her a free pass on everything while they hold Shannon to the fire on everything."

Shannon was tired of being scrutinized by Tamra and asked her to "stop talking" about her. The Real Housewives of Orange County star added that Tamra had a "huge ego," to which Tamra replied that she at least did not have to pay $75,000 to look good, referring to John Janssen's lawsuit against Shannon.

Shannon called her "cruel" but Tamra raised her hand and refused to converse with her. Shannon left the table and accused Tamra of wanting to ruin the trip.


The Real Housewives of Orange County airs every Thursday at 9 pm ET on;y on Bravo.
