Kelly Dodd is not a fan of her former Real Housewives of Orange County co-star, Tamra Judge. The terminated RHOC personality was a guest on Teresa Giudice‘s podcast and discussed Tamra’s treatment of Shannon Beador this season.
Both Tre and Kelly reached out to Shannon to show their support for her after her the way John Janssen, Alexis Bellino, and Tamra treated Shannon during season 18.
If you’re not caught up on the show, Tamra continues to support Alexis despite her throwing her relationship – now engagement – with Shannon’s ex in her face. Even worse, Johnny J filed a lawsuit against Shannon claiming she owes him $75K for an unpaid facelift loan. Meanwhile, Johnny J has a video of a drunken Shannon, pre DUI, that Alexis threatened would be released.
Extortion:
The controversial former Housewife accused Johnny J and Jesus Jugs of a crime.“One hundred percent they are extorting her.” Kelly continued, “You say pay the $75K or else I’m going to show these proof of tapes.”
Teresa, who is no stranger to white collar crimes, added “I think that’s blackmailing right.” Kelly validated the RHONJ OG’s claim, “That’s blackmailing, of course. 100 percent extortion.”
“If I were Shannon,” continued Kelly, “I’d go after them for extortion.”
Backtracking:
Alexis now claims Johnny J never threatened to release the video of a drunken Shannon Beador pre-DUI. During a guest appearance on Virtual Reali-Tea, Jesus Jugs tried to backtrack her controversial remarks about blackmailing Shannon.
“I didn’t mean to blurt that out. Some of the women in the group are very close with me and did know about the videos already, but they never would have gone there. But, a lot of the time you see me talking about John or Shannon, is because I’m being prodded and pushed to talk about it. Even though I don’t want to mention it, you don’t see that.”
“That night, I did mention the videos, it was late. We’d been filming all day long. I was tired.” Tirelessly, Alexis continued, “His name and her name just kept coming up. I was fed up. Everyone is in support of Shannon, I’m like, ‘Do I need to just show the effing videos? Somebody needs to take accountability here and somebody needs to get off my back.”
“It was just the wrong timing. We didn’t intend for it to happen like that – or at all. John’s in sole custody of those videos. He’s never once said he was going to show them, or had any intentions of showing them. Unless, Shannon wanted to personally come sit and watch them with us.”
Alexis concluded, “That is something I would put the toothpaste back in the tube about.”
