Andy Cohen is setting the record straight after Tamra Judge claimed Shannon Beador had a “meltdown” during a recent dinner at The Quiet Woman.
The drama started when Tamra alleged Shannon became upset because the iconic “Real Housewives of Orange County” restaurant had never comped one of her meals despite years of filming there.
According to Tamra, Shannon felt Bravo had “put them on the map.”
“Oh, Shannon had a meltdown,” Tamra claimed on a recent episode of the “Jeff Lewis Has Issues” podcast.
“I actually told the owner that because Shannon was really just upset because she says she feels like Bravo has put them on the map. And the bill wasn’t even that high,” Tamra continued. “We only had apps and drinks. I had to tell, I’m like, ‘Listen, Shannon just feels like she’s come in here and she’s filmed here, and we’ve all filmed here, and she hasn’t even got a free meal, ever, and doesn’t ask.'”
Tamra said the restaurant owner eventually decided to pick up the check.
Andy Cohen Claims There Was ‘No Big Drama’
Andy, who was actually at the dinner, offered a much calmer version of events on SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live.”
“There wasn’t any big kind of drama to this story,” he said.
Instead, Andy explained that the restaurant simply brought the bill and he paid it.
“They brought the bill,” Andy said, adding that he “happily paid” it and also left “a big tip.”
As the group was leaving, the restaurant’s general manager stopped them with some unexpected news.
“As I walked out the front door, the GM said, ‘The dinner is on us, by the way,'” Andy recalled.
He added that he still wanted to make sure the server received a gratuity.
“So we figured that out,” Andy said, before joking that was the entire story.
New episodes of RHOC season 20 air Thursday nights on Bravo.
