Kelly Dodd Slams ‘Bully’ Tamra Judge; Says RHOC Star is ‘a Sociopath’ Plus, Discusses Shannon Beador’s ‘Extortion’ on RHOC

Kelly Dodd rips into former co-star Tamra Judge for being a “bully.” She also discusses Shannon Beador dealing with “extortion” and “blackmail” on RHOC.

Bravo alum Kelly Dodd appeared on the September 18 episode of Teresa Giudice‘s Turning the Tables podcast, where she discussed the drama playing out on season 18 of RHOC.

On the podcast, Kelly and Teresa discussed Alexis Bellino and her fiancé John Janssen‘s attempts to blackmail and extort Shannon Beador during season 18.

Alexis and John accused Shannon of owing her ex-boyfriend $75,000, which she reportedly borrowed to obtain a facelift. When the 60-year-old allegedly refused to repay the loan, John and Alexis threatened to release video footage from the night of Shannon’s September 2023 DUI.

Kelly made it clear that she 100% believes that John and Alexis are trying to blackmail and extort Shannon.

“Yeah, I mean one hundred percent they are extorting her,” Kelly said. “You say pay the 75,000 or else I’m going to show these proof of tapes.”

“I think that’s blackmailing right,” the Real Housewives of New Jersey OG interjected.

“That’s blackmailing of course; that’s 100 percent extortion,” Kelly added.

Kelly then said if she were in Shannon’s shoes, she would take the RHOC couple to court, noting, “If I were Shannon, I’d go after them for extortion.”

Teresa admitted that she felt terrible for Shannon and reached out to the mom of three.

“I did text Shannon, I said keep being strong, and keep your head up,” Kelly shared.

During the podcast, the Bravolebs also discussed Tamra Judge‘s current feud with RHONJ star Jennifer Aydin.

Tamra and Jennifer recently fought on social media after the RHONJ star reacted to the video of Tamra breaking down in tears over Vicki Gunvalson dragging her estranged daughter into their drama. Jennifer, who has been dealing with Tamra’s unfounded attacks for months, said the Real Housewives of Orange County star “made her bed and now has to lay in it” amid the backlash and hate she is receiving from fans and co-stars.

“She’s a sociopath. She’s an awful person, I can’t stand her,” Kelly said. “I’m Team Jennifer.”

Kelly continued, “[Tamra] can dish it out but she can’t take it, that’s her problem. She’s the biggest bully out of anyone, that Tamrat. She’s the biggest bully, she’s a sociopath.”
