I think with all the backlash and vitriol Tamra is receiving, it is a build-up over her past seasons. Combined, we are also in a different era now in reality tv. What may have been acceptable and entertaining back then is offensive and painful now. People overall are much more sensitive with things. We know villains are an integral part of the show, but many also like to see villains grow and evolve. The old formula doesn’t cut it anymore. We saw with season 8 of rhop and the outrage reception to it. Rhonj season 14, having the most toxic season ever, they couldn’t even do a reunion. Their hashtag on Twitter is still unhinged! Now everyone is waiting to see if they’re coming back for season 15.
Now we’re at season 18 of rhoc, where it looked like this was supposed to be a Shannon takedown/breakdown season. She had a dui, he ex boyfriend is suing her. To add insult to injury, they bring on her ex-boyfriend, new fiance, former cast member, who’s decided to be his mouthpiece and attack dog to go at Shannon every chance she got. Then, to make matters even worse, Tamra, who was supposed to be her friend, decided to join in kicking Shannon while she’s down, terrorizing her at every turn.
The Shannon takedown was a fail because 1, she’s a fan favorite because she’s one of the housewives that’s never been afraid to show vulnerability and transparency with her life, whether being good or bad. And 2, she took accountability and responsibility right out the gate for her DUI. So, the constant gangups weren’t needed. It just made Shannon more loved, and Tamra more hated.
Also to add Tamra was very involved in the drama with rhonj season 14 toxicity due to her close friendship to Margaret. She used her podcast to spew venom towards the ones she didn’t like. So by the time rhoc newseason started, some were annoyed with her. Then, watching her antics on season 18 with Shannon has turned the majority off with her.
I think now she may have truly sealed her fate by now saying she’s been diagnosed on the spectrum. She has pissed so many people off. They are still going in on her. I want to know who convinced her to get on her podcast and say this in the first place 😫
