Judge Tamra believing Shannon Beador continues to struggle with her to stay in the good graces of fans.

While she also recommends that Real Housewives of Orange County viewers rely on her for ratings, shares her hopes for season 21, and confirms that their recently-recorded special had a first meeting, Tamra, 59, named the MVP reunion and discusses her ongoing drama with Shannon, 62.

“I didn’t kill anybody. I didn’t steal her husband. I didn’t do anything that bad,” Tamra began in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

According to Tamra, she’s been trying to move on with Shannon for “a few years” and “it’s just not working.”

“This year, I feel like she gave a little, and then she pulled back, and then she gave a little, and I feel like she’s playing for the comments section on Instagram,” Tamra said. “Everybody’s like, ‘I don’t like Tamra. She’s terrible. Blah, blah, blah.'”

She then said that Shannon was a bit two-faced.

“She would call me, and we’d talk for like, two hours, and we’d have these deep conversations, and we’d talk a little bit about the people on the show, I’m not going to lie, and then she, [the] the next day, he was on the media line [talking poorly about me]and then the next day, she’d call me, and then I’d see the interview a week later, I’m like, ‘You were just talking to me,'” Tamra explained.

Although Tamra didn’t always know what Shannon was saying about her behind her back, she said she had words with her on-again, off-again friend at the reunion.

“The reunion is a shame, and you’ll just have to see what happens,” she said. “[But] I just want to move on. It is not wise to stay in the past. Like, the statute of limitations is up. If she doesn’t have some new dirt on me, move on.”

Continuing on about the reunion, Tamra said, “It was a different feeling.”

“I just thought, ‘You know what? Maybe I’m going to take a back seat a little bit and be less vocal.’ I am trying to understand what they want from me. But let me tell you just one thing: Three members of the battle came to me and said, “When are you going to do your thing? When you’re doing your thing?’ And I say, ‘What do you mean? I’m doing my thing,’” she revealed, noting that the team was “in charge [her] for ranking.”

As she was looking forward to RHOC season 21, Tamra said she was hoping for a shakeup.

“I definitely think there needs to be some shaking. I really do,” she said. “I think I’m not as active as I usually put eyes on other people, not to say that I carry the show on my back, but my back has hurt for several years.”

“I think it showed who’s working and who’s not,” she said.

Also speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Tamra first confirmed a reunion, although she didn’t say what it was.

“The first one was at this reunion – which has never happened at any reunion, and yes, I’m responsible,” she said. “I woke up at 1 in the morning when I got home, and I was worried. I’m like, ‘What did I do? What did I do?'”

From there, Tamra contacted executive producers Andrew Cohen58, and Alex Baskin.

“I spoke to Andy and Alex, and I said, ‘You’re not going to show that, are you?’ And they said, “Oh yes, we are,” she revealed.

Then, after the announcement Heather Dubrow57, as the MVP of the meet, Tamra said that Vicki Gunvalson63, maybe she didn’t get what she needed at the taping.

“Only because she didn’t say the right things. But that’s Vicki,” she reasoned.

The Real Housewives of Orange County season 20 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
