UPDATE 10/9/25 at 3:34 p.m. ET: The Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge is weighing in on Lesley Beador’s “cringe” costume.
“I don’t usually talk about her,” Tamra said on the Thursday, October 9, episode of iHeartRadio’s “Two T’s in a Pod” podcast. “Is she trying to be Shannon [Beador]? That’s just weird.”
When the Bravo star joked that Lesley “had more reposts than comments because people were like, ‘What the eff?!’” cohost Teddi Mellencamp pointed out that Lesley restricted her comments.
“It’s so weird,” Teddi added. “I can’t understand why she would think this is a good idea.”

Lesley Beador’s Halloween costume idea is quite the juicy idea.
David Beador’s wife decided to playfully poke fun of The Real Housewives of Orange County when she debuted a look for the spooky holiday.
“Needed a last minute Halloween costume 🍊,” Lesley wrote via Instagram on Monday, October 6. “I feel like the orange should be bigger. Looks like clementine 😂 #lesleybeador #lmao #halloween2025 #trickortreat #🎃 #easycostumeideas #😂.”
For the costume, Lesley sported a black dress with a pair of heels. She completed her look with gold jewelry and an orange in her left hand.
The Orange County resident appeared to have Photoshopped the image in front of a green screen to make it appear she was shooting a scene for the Bravo show.
While Lesley limited the comments, she received a “like” from Selling the OC star Gio Helou.
Although Lesley has yet to appear on The Real Housewives of Orange County, her husband’s ex-wife, Shannon Beador, has been a prominent member for several seasons.
She previously opened up to Us Weekly about her relationship — or lack thereof — with Lesley.

“I just met her for the first time,” the Bravo personality explained in October 2022. “I was at a restaurant and she was there, and I just ran out. I introduced myself, which is really weird because they’ve been together for [a long time].”
Shannon announced her separation from David in October 2017 after 17 years of marriage. She filed for divorce three months later, with the duo finalizing their split in April 2019. The former spouses share three daughters.
As for David and Lesley, they got married in October 2020 and welcomed a daughter in February 2021. While the pair have experienced highs and lows (and their own since-dismissed legal filings) in their relationship, they are currently together.
“I sent a gift,” Shannon previously told Us after Lesley gave birth. “I mean, I sent it with the kids [we share], so I don’t know [how David feels about it].”
As Shannon continues her 10th season as a Real Housewives of Orange County cast member, Lesley certainly has an interesting storyline away from the cameras.
In July, David was issued a temporary restraining order against his estranged wife after he filed a petition for protection against Lesley. Weeks later, he asked the court to dismiss his restraining order.
In another surprise twist, David told the court in August that he was no longer moving forward with a divorce from Lesley. He asked for the entire case to be dismissed. The judge ultimately signed off on the request.
’Tis the season for all things spooky, and the stars did not disappoint with their 2024 Halloween costumes. “🎃 🖤 Boo York City 👻 🗽,” Anne Hathaway wrote via Instagram on October 26, sharing a selfie of her ensemble.

“Lesley and I have had many ups and downs in our marital relationship, with prior [divorce petitions] filed and dismissed and domestic violence restraining orders,” David previously wrote in a declaration filed in the case. “I have always been concerned that Lesley’s relationship with me has been primarily based upon her desire to live a luxurious standard of living.”
As David and Lesley continue their relationship, Shannon is currently single and focused on herself.
As she told Bravo’s The Daily Dish in June, “I am a relationship girl, but I’m not gonna lie, it’s kind of nice to be single and not have to worry about someone else.”
