wp_editor returns the shortcode and not render the output

try doing this

 <?php
$footer = get_option('footer_options');
$footer_content = array($footer['footer_content_1'], $footer['footer_content_2']);
foreach($footer_content as $content) {
 $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
    echo'<aside class="tab-content">
        '.$content.'
    </aside>';
}
 ?>

I once had the same issue and applying the content filter solved it
