RHOC’s Shannon Beador Reveals If Katie Ginella Is Really ‘Worse’ Than Tamra Judge and Alexis Bellino

Shannon Beador is the first to admit that she was fired up after Katie Ginella admitted to secretly recording her during a cast photo shoot.

“I was very, very shocked and it’s just an odd thing [what] she did,” Shannon, 61, exclusively shared with Us Weekly on Thursday, July 24, while promoting The Real Housewives of Orange County. “I was trying to help her and give her advice so that she could make things OK with everyone. This is the bottom line. There is no positive explanation or positive intention when you secretly record someone.”

During Thursday’s episode, Shannon confronted Katie, 41, at Heather Dubrow’s elaborate birthday party, vowing to “never, ever speak to you again.”

“You are the most evil person I have ever met,” she said as Bravo cameras rolled. “This girl … worse than Alexis Bellino. Worse than Tamra Judge. We’re done.”

When asked by Us if she stands by her ranking, Shannon appeared to have a slight change of heart.

“Well, I think you might see me very soon say maybe they’re equal,” she teased.

As viewers continue to watch Shannon’s dynamics within the cast change, the former Love Hotel star said she doesn’t plan on suing Katie.

“I’m not going to do that. It takes so much out of you to do something like that, but it crossed a line, and I felt very violated,” Shannon said. “I don’t like that some people are trying to focus on my behavior that day.”

According to Katie, she recorded audio of Shannon during the cast photo shoot after Shannon interrupted an important Zoom call. She has since apologized for her actions.

According to Tamra, 57, Shannon arrived two hours late to the cast event, where she and Katie were sharing a dressing room.

She also claimed that Shannon was “pissed off that Alexis was there at the same time she was” and “started screaming and cussing” into her phone, while Katie was on a business call with her husband.

Shannon feuded with Alexis — who is engaged to her ex John Janssen — in season 18. Alexis has since left the show.

Regardless of the circumstances, Shannon said there was never a reason for anyone to secretly record her.

“Nothing you say adds up ever,” she told Katie during Thursday’s episode. “I’ve gone to the bottom of the barrel with these women in this group. Never once has anyone recorded me behind my back.”
