That said, as the Housewives settle into a new season — and rehash old resentments — Shannon, 59, can’t help but wonder: “Can Tamra change? Hopefully.“
As a singer in background croons, “Careful what you wish for…” Shannon’s former declarations of love and friendship don’t seem to be hold much weigh for Tamra in preview footage from the upcoming season.
“You can say whatever you want, Shannon,” says Tamra. “You’re a f—ing liar and you’re a drunk.”
“I don’t miss this,” admits Shannon, 59.
The drama-filled clip concludes with Judge dramatically dropping a cocktail glass as she calls Heather as “a fake friend.”
Gina gets the last word, calling out Tamra very plainly: “This is your thing. You are a dick.”
