"Tamara starting this reunion talking about her intention is to explain why SHE was so hurt by Shannon this season is ridiculous…"
"At this point, I’m so sick of Tamra and her BS. I’m not interested in sh*t he has to say. She’s a liar, gaslighter, and full of sh*t. It’s about time for Shannon to read her for filth and send her on her way," a fan commented.
"Tamra thinks using the “my therapist” card is a get out of jail card and that it works anymore is very on brand for her, Shannon uno-reversed her and told her yeah no thanks," a tweet read.
Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 praised Shannon's response to Tamra.
"I'm glad that Shannon is giving Tamra her a** to kiss! She's only trying to write her wrongs because of the backlash she's received. If everyone had taken her side, she would've been a terror on this couch!" a person wrote.
"Shannon doesn’t need to forgive Tamra. Tamra treated her like shit this entire season. She doesn’t get a pass. Im glad that Shannon accepted the “apology” to shut Emily up and then after say she’ll never be friends with Tamra," a fan commented.
"Shannon is dragging Tamra!" a tweet read.
Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 further said:
"I don’t care how calm Tamra is trying to be. She is a horrible person. The only difference between her & Shannon is that Shannon got a DUI. Tamra just hasn’t gotten caught yet," a person wrote.
"Tamra all mad because Shannon said she was drunk NEWSFLASH you lush you are drunk all the time as well. Probably drunk as hell on the reunion stage right now!" a fan commented.
