Shannon Beador is in for a rough ride during the upcoming Real Housewives of Orange County season. Shannon has to deal with friendship feuds, her ex’s new girlfriend Alexis Bellino making a return, and the public fallout of her DUI and car accident. It’s a lot of darkness to unpack for Shannon, but it’s sure to make for a wild season to watch.
Shannon’s DUI has been a major part of the teaser clips for the upcoming RHOC premiere. It’s hard for it not to be – Shannon drank, got behind the wheel, and drove her car into the side of a house. However, Shannon doesn’t think it’s fair for all of her co-stars to question her drinking habits after the infamous DUI.
Shannon is done with Tamra
Shannon spoke to E! News ahead of the RHOC Season 18 premiere to throw shade at her frenemy Tamra Judge. Tamra and Shannon have an on-again, off-again friendship, but it’s turned sour since the DUI. Tamra was spotted in an RHOC clip asking about Shannon’s drinking habits, and Shannon thinks it’s uncalled for. “She has no right,” Shannon said of Tamra’s comments. “Who made you the judge and jury of what I should and shouldn’t be doing in my life?”
Despite Tamra’s claims that she was there for her friend after the DUI, Shannon said it was all lies. “She has had no part of anything that I have done since my DUI. None. In fact, she left town the day after my DUI,” Shannon added.
Later in the interview, Shannon expressed her remorse over choosing to drive drunk. “After it happened, I was so grateful that no one was hurt because that would have been just unbearable,” she explained. “I was using alcohol as a coping mechanism.” As we said, Shannon has a lot of explaining to do on RHOC this season. It’s just clear she doesn’t want Tammy Sue to respond.
Real Housewives of Orange County premieres July 11 at 9/8c on Bravo.
