We’re still weeks away from Halloween, but Lesley Beador got started early. The on-again, off-again wife of Shannon Beador’s ex-husband, David Beador, shared a picture of herself dressed up like a Real Housewives of Orange County cast member. She had an orange in her hand and everything, and just like the rest of us, Tamra Judge thinks it’s “weird.”

“Needed a last minute Halloween costume,” Lesley wrote on Instagram on Monday, October 6. “I feel like the orange should be bigger. Looks like clementine ? #lesleybeador #lmao #halloween2025 #trickortreat #? #easycostumeideas #?.”
The idea of needing a “last-minute” Halloween costume on October 6 is strange. The fact that she would dress up in a reference to her husband’s ex-wife is even stranger. Tamra weighed in on it during the October 8 episode of Two Ts in a Pod, along with Teddi Mellencamp. Although Tamra and Shannon aren’t on good terms, she could still admit that Lesley’s costume seemed odd.
Tamra said, “We don’t usually talk about her, but Lesley Beador on her Instagram post for Halloween is dressed up like a Housewife holding an orange on a green screen. And then captioned it, ‘Needed a last-minute Halloween costume.’ Like, is she trying to be Shannon? That’s just weird.”
“It’s so weird,” Teddi added. “I can’t understand why she would think this is a good idea.”
Definitely not a good idea. If you’ve been following Lesley, then you know that she and David spent the summer hurling abuse allegations at each other. David filed for divorce and then dismissed it a few weeks later. They’ve got bigger things to worry about than Halloween costumes, and after seeing Lesley dressed up like Shannon, he might file for divorce again.
The Real Housewives of Orange County is airing on Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo. Stream it the next day on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
