Emily Simpson Blasts Shannon Beador’s Lack of Compassion & Says Tamra Judge Remains Shannon’s Friend Out of Pity!
Emily Simpson Says Tamra Judge Remains Shannon Beador’s Friend Out of Pity!
Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador’s once close friendship is having a few setbacks this season — and Emily Simpson is sounding off!
Real Housewives of Orange County newbie, Emily Simpson, weighed in on the latest drama brewing between the former besties, as Tamra revealed in Jamaica that Shannon scores really low on the friendship scale.
“It doesn’t surprise me that Tamra says that she feels sorry for Shannon. I imagine that is the backbone of their relationship. From what I have experienced, this is not a healthy friendship.” Emily shared in her latest Bravo blog.
The attorney believes her fellow Real Housewives of Orange County co-star remains friends with Shannon out of ‘obligation or sympathy‘ — not mutual respect.
“Tamra made it clear to Gina and me on the beach in Jamaica that Shannon has not been a great friend to her. What other reason would she have for remaining friends with her unless she felt some level of obligation or sympathy for her? It’s apparent to me that Shannon thrives on others feeling sorry for her, yet she lacks empathy and compassion towards others.”
The 53-year-old mother of five explains why she tried to form a friendship with Shannon — despite the frozen food chef’s lack of reciprocation.
The point of the trip to Jamaica was a “girls’ trip” to celebrate friendship and Shannon’s success on QVC. I was introduced into this new group of friends, and when I meet friends of my friends, I make an effort to get to know them. I think as women, we can ALWAYS learn so much from other women and be inspired by our girlfriends and their accomplishments.
I now can see that I try harder with Shannon than I ever have before, likely because Shannon has been more resistant and indifferent than other women I have come across. This resistance and indifference from Shannon toward Gina and me is disheartening and unnecessary.
Tamra Judge and Shannon had an explosive blowout during a girls lunch to celebrate Vicki Gunvalson’s birthday, after Emily Simpson, called out the ladies for gossiping about her marriage.
