Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador was once, twice, tres times over the legal limit. And friends, this is really no laughing matter – it’s actually an indication of a very serious issue.
While some are saying “We all make mistakes” and trying to brush off the gravity of Shannon’s situation, it would seem this woman needs more than outpatient counseling for her drinking problem. After being arrested for a hit-and-run DUI in September, Shannon is finally being charged. TMZ has the scoop.
Shannon Was A Wasted Amiga
This wasn’t casually tipsy or mildly buzzed. After Shannon ran into someone’s home and parked her car in the middle of the street, she blew a .24% after the wreck. FYI, it’s illegal to drive if you have a BAC (blood alcohol content) of: 0.08% or higher.
Shannon is in court TODAY. She will answer for the two misdemeanor counts of leaving the scene of an accident and driving drunk. Not only did Shannon hurt herself in the accident, but she was also driving with her beloved dog Archie. Thankfully Archie wasn’t injured, but Shannon was investigated by animal control.
While her charges are only misdemeanors, Shannon does face up to a year in jail. We all know there’s a better chance of Gretchen Rossi posting an unfiltered photo of herself than Shannon doing any time behind bars. That said, Shannon says she is taking the matter seriously, but people are scratching their heads.
Wheels up to BravoCon …
Shannon is in counseling, which probably would have been ordered by the courts anyway. She claims she will take accountability for her actions and her first step is seemingly getting back to her Tres Amigas tour dates. Right after court, she’s headed to Las Vegas and BravoCon in all its glory.
According to Shann’s lawyer, She “is prepared to accept full responsibility for her actions” and has already stated she will pay for the property damage to the owner of the home she ran into.
It seems Shannon will not see any consequences from her Bravo bosses despite being drunk enough to put an elephant to sleep and put herself and others in danger. At this time, she is set to begin filming RHOC Season 18 without hesitation.
