What happened to the Tres Amigas?

Back in January 2024, Tamra opened up about her relationships with Shannon and with fellow Tres Amigas member, Vicki Gunvalson. 

"There were some things they had said about me behind my back that got to me, and it didn't sit well with me," she told Entertainment Tonight. "In 2024, I'm not going to be around toxic people that are, you know — if you're my friend, be my friend. If I'm doing something or saying something you don't like, come to me and tell me..."

Tamra asserted that she wasn't to blame in the fallout, though. As she put it, "I didn't do anything to either one of them."

Ultimately, viewers will have to see for themselves when RHOC Season 18 premieres. See more of what's to come by watching the above trailer.
