Shannon Beador confronted Tamra Judge about calling her a ‘fake friend’ on Wednesday’s season premiere of The Real Housewives Of Orange County on Bravo.

‘Well, you are a fake friend,’ said Tamra, 55, who returned for season 17 after being a main cast member from seasons two to 14.

‘It was kind of an attack,’ Shannon, 59, said.

‘It was more of like an intervention,’ Tamra said.

‘Intervention, my ass,’ Shannon said.

‘You were out of control,’ Tamra said.

‘You were crossing a line,’ Shannon said.

The two then took off their sunglasses as they got ready to hash out their differences.

The season 17 premiere titled Here Comes the Judge opened with Tamra riding up to her house wearing an all-black outfit on a motorcycle. Her husband Eddie, 46, was in the kitchen making dinner.

Tamra said in a confessional that she left the show after 12 years and wanted to come back with a different perspective.

‘Like, I don’t have to call everybody out,’ Tamra said. ‘I’m hoping I’ll stick to that, but who knows?’

Tamra’s mother Sandy, 70, had moved in with them and lived in their casita. Tamra shared that due to the pandemic they closed down Eddie’s gym and were selling off the equipment.

Shannon met up with Emily Simpson, 47, to take their dogs on a hike. Shannon poured water into a bowl for the dogs and after they drank some Emily picked it up and drank out of it, too.

‘I’ve always heard that a dog’s mouth is much cleaner than a human’s mouth,’ Emily said in a confessional. ‘So I share spoons, forks, plates.’

She’s back: ‘Well, you are a fake friend,’ said Tamra, 55, who returned for season 17 after being a main cast member from seasons two to 14

A producer asked her where she got that information from and she laughed and said she didn’t know.

Emily asked Shannon about her relationship with Tamra.

‘She’ll go below the belt and there’s a lot of stuff that she said about me that isn’t accurate,’ Shannon said.

Shannon said that Tamra was her best friend for six years. Emily asked what happened between them.

‘She got fired,’ Shannon said.

Shannon said for the next two years that Tamra went on to spread lies about her.

‘I was crushed,’ Shannon said.

Tamra said in a confessional that she just told the truth about Shannon not being friends with her anymore.

‘Truth hurts b****,’ Tamra said.

Gina Kirschenheiter, 39, took her kids to the dentist to get their braces removed. Emily was also driving her kids around during the summer break.

‘Being a stay-at-home mom is what I always wanted for my children,’ Emily said in a confessional. ‘However, it’s this constant pull between wanting to be a mom and wanting to be great and wanting to be home with your kids and wanting to drive your car off a cliff.’

Heather Dubrow, 54, took care of her husband Terry, 64, after knee surgery. Heather told him about how she never hears from Gina anymore.

‘Gina’s cancelled on me multiple times but at some point, I see her on social media going to events,’ Heather said.

‘Sometimes I think people don’t want to invite us to their thing because maybe we’ll think it’s not fancy enough for us?’ Terry said.

‘That’s ridiculous,’ Heather said.

‘I know that’s ridiculous but you flew her on a G4 to New York,’ Terry said of their past private jet trip to the Big Apple.

Tamra and Eddie went bowling with her friend Jenn Pedranti , 45, and her boyfriend Ryan Boyajian. Eddie told them that because of the economy that he closed his gym CUT. Gina called Heather from her car and was dropping off gifts for her twins.

‘I really miss yo ,’ Gina said after she arrived. ‘I feel like I haven’t seen you in a long time.’

‘I feel like I haven’t seen you in a hundred years,’ Heather said.

Heather asked her why she never reached out to her over the summer.

‘I felt very close to you and then you completely disappeared,’ Heather said.

‘I had a lot going on, honestly, with Travis,’ Gina said.

Gina said she just got really busy with things. Heather said she saw she had a charity event where she invited Emily, but not her. Gina told her she just didn’t invite her because it wasn’t a ‘fabulous thing.’

‘Heather Dubrow does not want to come to a dive bar where they are not serving food,’ Gina said in a confessional. ‘Heather Dubrow just wants to be invited to the dive bar so she can say no.’

Jenn was trying to get her house in order with her five kids – daughter Everleigh, 12, and sons Dawson, 16, Harrison, 18, Dominic, 9, and son Greyson, 13- and two dogs, two guinea pigs, two fish and a mama cat and five foster kittens. She also revealed that she still shared the home with her estranged husband William.

‘My ex husband, Will, is living in Oklahoma, working for my family’s business,’ Jenn said in a confessional. ‘Instead of moving the kids back and forth when he comes into town I go stay at Ryan’s and then he’s in the house.’

Heather, Gina, and Tamra met with a pickleball pro to get some tips and play a game. When Heather brought up Shannon, Tamra said she ghosted her.

‘I would call her, and she wouldn’t call me back, or she would send me to voicemail,’ Tamra said in a confessional.

‘She’s a self-centered person who only gives a f*** about herself,’ Tamra said.

‘Can’t people evolve and change?’ Heather said.

Heather said her recent experiences with Shannon had been really great.

‘Friendship takes work,’ Heather said in a confessional. ‘At some point, you got to let the old s*** go.’

Jenn set up for an outside yoga class retreat. Tamra, Emily, Gina, Heather and Shannon arrived. Tamra hugged Shannon when she saw her. Shannon had difficulty doing the yoga moves and kept falling over. Shannon shared that she just celebrated her three years anniversary with her boyfriend John Janssen, 59.

Emily told Tamra that she just needed to have a conversation with Shannon and tell her that she hurt her. Shannon overhead them.

‘I hope you are okay,’ Tamra said to Shannon.

‘I am okay,’ Shannon said. ‘Are you?’

Shannon told her to not cry.

‘It’s a lot going on,’ Tamra said. ‘I miss my best friend.’

‘I know I do too, Tamra,’ Shannon said. ‘It’s been really really hard.’

‘Bronx died,’ Tamra said of her dog.

‘I’m so sorry,’ Shannon said.

‘And then we closed our gym down,’ Tamra said. ‘It’s been a lot going on.’

‘Good to see you,’ Shannon said. ‘I know we both have a lot of hurts. I’m at a point in my life where everything is so good, and I don’t want to have hardships about anything or with anyone. Let’s get together and start talking through it.’

‘I would like that a lot, honestly,’ Tamra said.

The show then flashed to one week later with Shannon confronting Tamra.

The  season premiere concluded with a ‘To Be Continued’ message for viewers.
