Real Housewives Of Orange County fans were left 'so angry' that Tamra Judge ruined Shannon Beador's birthday trip with cruel comments on the latest episode.
Shannon took a vacation in London with her castmates to celebrate her 60th birthday, but was left feeling terribly ill and downcast.
On the one hand, her health let her down - she suffered from such terrible constipation that she felt nauseous and had to skip a planned trip to Windsor Castle so that she could stay in the bathroom and take an enema.
But the emotional lows were even worse, as Tamra was seen screaming at her during a fiery dinner: 'You're a liar and a drunk!'
The vicious remark was a jab at Shannon's DUI last September - and left fans fuming that Tamra was acting like 'a dirty little b****' and a 'guttersnipe.'

Tamra's insult to Shannon came during a fiery dinner party in London, which had all all of the Housewives in attendance.
Shannon has accused Tamra of having a background check performed on Jennifer Pedranti's then boyfriend - now fiancé - Ryan Boyajian two years ago.
To back up her claim, Shannon has showed Jenn old texts in which Tamra allegedly shared her plans to have the investigation done.
Meanwhile, Tamra has claimed Shannon showed the texts out of context, and that in fact Shannon herself had also been interested in digging up dirt on Ryan's past.
On this week's episode, during a group dinner in London, an explosive row breaks out over their conflicting stories and Tamra accuses Shannon of drinking so much she does not 'remember anything' she says - in a jab at Shannon's DUI last year.
Fans erupted in outrage on X, formerly Twitter, where one wrote: 'I'm actually so angry at how Tamra and Heather ruined Shannon's birthday trip for her. They didn't let her have one day without attacking her. Not one.'
'Tamra came on the trip just to act like a dirty little bitch and I’m so annoyed by her thirst for air time. To act like that on someone’s birthday,' said another.
'Shut the hell up, Tamra,' fumed one fan over a clip of the dinner party confrontation. 'She stays making s*** up. We’re OVER of the theatrics.'

'What bothers me most is the absolute joy that Tamra seems to feel while being so nasty,' another exasperated viewer posted.
'Im sick of Shannon allowing Tamra to drag her,' wrote still another. 'She’s got Jenn and Emily defending her like she’s a newbie. Shannon, FIGHT BACK!!!'
'Tamra is the most vile soulless a**hole ever,' opined another viewer. 'And Heather, who I always liked, is really being a colossal a**hole this season. I can’t watch this franchise any more. #Bravo @Andy It’s no longer fun or interesting to watch.'
Thursday's episode, called Sunday Roasted, takes place during the tail end of the group's trip to London for Shannon's 60th birthday.
The episode begins just after Shannon tells Jenn that Tamra allegedly had a background check done on Ryan two years ago.
Jenn storms through their hotel and into the room that Tamra shares with Heather Dubrow, in order to have it out with Tamra.
Jennifer upbraids Tamra about the ‘background check’ while Heather attempts to play peacemaker, asking: ‘Can we not yell?’
'Talk s*** about me, talk s*** about Ryan, and then cry that you f***ing love me. You don't f***ing love anything about me,' says Jenn, accusing Tamra of having no 'soul.'
Tamra counters that ‘We were not in a good place last year,’ and Jenn shoots back: ‘Okay, so when you're not in a good place with somebody, you go on background checks?’
Heather and Tamra both strenuously deny that the latter performed a background check on Ryan, but Jenn storms off, clearly unconvinced.
Tamra then tells Heather that 'two years ago,' she was approached at the gym by a man who claimed he had been 'friends' with Ryan and had a scandalous story about some of Ryan's past business dealings abroad.

Jenn rages: ‘Tamra, have you said anything about Ryan this year? Have you talked about him being a bookie? Have you talked about a Ponzi scheme? You better f***ing shut your mouth'
'Oh, okay, why?' Tamra sneers: 'Is he going to put a hit on me?’
When Shannon accuses Tamra of dishonestly, Tamra bellows: 'You're a liar and you're a drunk! You don't remember anything you say!'
In Tamra’s version of events, she then sent the information to Shannon, who asked her to ‘get information on this’ because the story involved the ex-husband of Lesley Beador - the second wife of Shannon's own ex-husband David Beador.
Tamra insists that Shannon ‘was equally as concerned as I was that Ryan's a shady motherf***er,’ but did not show the whole text conversation to Jenn so that she would not implicate herself in Jenn’s eyes.
Shannon, meanwhile, delightedly gets a visit from her 19-year-old twin daughters Stella and Adeline, who have traveled to her from Paris.
Over lunch, Shannon tells her daughters that her dynamic with the other housewives ‘hasn’t been very good’ over the course of her London trip.
‘You guys know all this stuff that's going on with Tamra, and I just - the last two nights has been not very kind to me,' said Shannon, prompting one of the twins to note that their mother is locked in a 'toxic friendship' with Tamra.
Tamra goes out for caviar and champagne with Heather and Gina Kirschenheiter - the latter of whom is appalled by Tamra's alleged snooping.
‘I saw the text messages,' Gina tells Tamra. 'This is bad. If you would do that to her, would you do it to [Heather]? Would you do it to me? I'm being honest here.'
Jenn on the other hand goes to lunch with Emily Simpson and Katie Ginella and briefs them about the brewing drama between her and Tamra.

In a confessional, Emily laughed: 'When Tamra doesn't respect someone, there's no boundaries. None. Zero. Sorry, Jenn, she doesn't respect you, and she doesn't respect Ryan.'
At lunch, Emily tells Jenn: 'You're an adult woman, and if this is the person that you choose, and he's good to you, and he's good to your children, and he steps up to the plate, like, I think that's amazing. And there's nothing more that I have respect for than a man who steps up to the plate and takes care of children.'
After she returns to her hotel room, Emily tells Ryan: 'Everything that I questioned about Tamra, there's no more questioning, we're not friends. It was all just absolute bullsh***.'
Ryan, as if by serendipity, makes the same allegation that Jenn had earlier - that Tamra has no soul - and Jenn delights in the coincidence.
All the women head to a group dinner that evening, only for the meal to erupt into an explosive showdown over the claims that Tamra had Ryan investigated.
Tamra accuses Shannon of being a ‘liar’ in making the claim to Jenn, prompting Shannon to shoot back: ‘I have a lot of text messages,’ and Tamra to insist that ‘you called me and asked me’ for information on Ryan.
When Shannon accuses Tamra of dishonestly, Tamra bellows: 'You're a liar and you're a drunk! You don't remember anything you say!'
The table is left stunned, and Gina intervenes, asking Tamra to ‘stop with the alcohol thing’ and let Shannon work through her ‘journey’ on her own.
Tamra rounds on Jenn, demanding to know why she believes Shannon.

‘You know what, because in the time that I’ve known her, she has shown me more friendship than you have,’ Jenn roars. ‘I want to be left alone. I want you to leave Ryan alone.’
Tamra tries to defend herself, but Jenn derisively retorts: ‘Tamra, have you said anything about Ryan this year? Have you talked about him being a bookie? Have you talked about a Ponzi scheme? You better f***ing shut your mouth.'
'Oh, okay, why?' Tamra sneers. 'Is he going to put a hit on me?’
After tensions calm down a bit, Tamra says: ‘I apologized to Jenn earlier. I am sorry that I had a conversation with my best friend back then. I'm not going to have her go and try to turn f***ing everybody against me.’
Jenn refuses to accept Tamra’s apology, thundering that ‘we’re not good’ and adding: ‘I’m saying shut your f***ing mouth.’
After dinner, back at their hotel room, Heather tells Tamra: ‘You need to talk to Jenn. You've not taken accountability for your part of this. The one thing you are not specifically saying to her to move forward is: "I am f***ing sorry." You feel bad that you did that. It was not okay and it won't happen again.’
Tamra waffles, saying she will apologize when she gets the opportunity, but Heather doubles down, insisting she do it ‘tomorrow.’
In conversation with Heather, Tamra accuses Shannon of having looked into wild rumors two years earlier that Gina pushed her beau Travis Mullen down the stairs - claims that Gina has staunchly denied, attributing them to Travis' ex-wife.
During the group's trip to Windsor Castle, Tamra then tells Emily that Shannon was ‘digging up some information' regarding claims about Gina and her boyfriend Travis Mullen

During the group's trip to Windsor Castle, Tamra then tells Emily that Shannon was ‘digging up some information to bring it up at the reunion’ months earlier - to wit, ‘legal information’ regarding Gina, Travis and his ex-wife.
Matters come to a head during a Sunday roast - after Shannon and Heather leave the restaurant to have a private conversation outdoors.
Back at the table, Tamra finally spills her allegations about Shannon to Gina, as Jenn shakes her head in disbelief.
Gina is, in fact, angry with Tamra for bringing up the pushing-down-the-stairs claim on TV, forcing her to address the allegation.
Tamra rises from her seat, walks over to Gina and warns her to watch out for ‘your friend’ Shannon ‘digging up information’ about her.
Gina feels that her personal problems have now become ‘collateral damage’ in a battle of wills between Tamra and Shannon.
When Gina confronts Shannon about the news she has just received, Shannon deflects, saying Tamra was the one who told her the staircase story.
The fight returns to the allegations about Tamra running a background check on Ryan, and Jenn ultimately gets fed up.
In a confessional, Jenn says: ‘Truly, I’m telling you Tamra, as a friend, you have a sickness and you need help. She does not know how to be a friend. She does not know what an apology means. She does not know what it means to hurt someone. She is a mean girl and a bully and she thrives in it.’
