Shannon needs serious help.

It was just a matter of time.  She has a gnarly drinking problem, as evidenced by her behavior and what it has done to her face/physique.  She is lucky she didn't kill anyone and JESUS CHRIST!  She had Archie in the car!!!!!  Fuck that drunkie drunkerson.

Jeff Lewis is clearly an enabler if he is claiming she isn't an alcoholic.  I only see her on tv and *I* know she is.  I hope her castmates talk to every single media outlet about her.  After how she has treated Gina, she has earned it.  And I don't even like Gina.

My Uncle Scotty didn’t think he had a drinking problem even after he drove his car into the Charles.

It wasn’t the scotch it was the fact he bought a “fucking Ford”…..

Well, then, that proves that this “counseling” isn’t going to work. This is probably something her lawyer told her to do — an attempt at heading off any severe court penalties. 

People have to admit there is a problem and be willing to get help.

He (Jeff) continued, "Shannon and I have been friends for a very long time. I was shocked — she called me yesterday and we talked for awhile — and I was shocked because I’ve never known Shannon to ever, ever drink and drive."

"I will tell you she’s accepting full accountability," he noted. "She is ashamed, she’s embarrassed. I personally, as her friend — cause people are like, 'Oh she needs rehab,' 'Oh she’s an alcoholic' — I don’t think Shannon is an alcoholic. I think she’s been going thorough a lot of personal struggles right now, and I think she has been leaning on alcohol — but I don’t think she’s an alcoholic."

So Jeff Lewis is running interference. playing enabler. Unlike the Bravo Babe tweet (or X, or whatever the hell you call it), this is Jeff denying Shannon’s drinking problem. 

Jeff, be a friend and tell her to GET HELP. I’m still not convinced that she thinks she’s got a problem.

The FIRST thing I thought of when I read about the DUI is that I hope she has some TRUE friends who will be brutally honest with her for the sake of her girls.  NOTHING else should matter right now - not Bravo, not her public image, her ego, her drinking buddy John, etc…

Her life may depend on what she does in the wake of this, and we’ve seen how gullible she is.  The last thing she needs is a bunch of “yes men” telling her what she wants to hear.   Just as she thinks she needs daily colonics, because “YOUR GUT IS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM!!”, (while she doesn’t think twice about drowning said gut in ETOH and decimating her gut biome) she’s not gonna be able to Dr. Moon herself outta this one.  

Wake up, Dingbat!  Time to get it together!  You’ll also find that self-respect you lost along the way.

My guess was going to/from John Janssen's house.

Poor Archie, I need an update that he's ok.

Edited to add new details: she decided to drive back to a restaurant (The Quiet Woman?} to retrieve the phone she left and supposedly broke her arm in the crash 

Still waiting for an update on Archie.

So she likely was drunk when she left the restaurant and then drove back while still drunk.  How drunk was she when this started? 

I am somewhat happy that she was injured.  That makes it harder to act like it wasn't a big deal. I want to see the house she hit.  How far did she have to go off the road to hit a house?  Then she parked her car in the middle of the street and walked the dog?  So inebriated she didn't know she wasn't at the curb? It's frightening that she got behind the wheel and that no one stopped her. She is very lucky no one but her was hurt.

Shannon has been drinking heavily for years,  This is not situational, especially given that life is always overwhelming for her.  As you said, we've seen her on TV drunk off her ass.  Her drinking has been escalating through the years.  She relies on alcohol. Jeff needs to get off it.  Is he worried because she was at his event then drove drunk?

Can we get Kelly Dodd on this??  Maybe a step by step reenactment?  Seems like it would totally be in her wheelhouse to show photos of the damage and if she could get a word with the owner, well that would make my day!

I hope she gets help but just reading that article with Jeff Lewis you can tell she is not going to. If she isn’t admitting she’s an alcoholic then she’s not gonna be sober. She will likely pretend with the counselling but I’d bet money she won’t stop drinking.

It happened at night. She allegedly broke her arm (so she did get hurt). She will do counseling, but SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE SHE HAS A PROBLEM WITH ALCOHOL!

Being an abuser of alcohol is just as deadly as is being an alcoholic - I hope this semantics game we’re in for will be shut down quickly.   

We’ve been calling it for years, now - there’s a problem. It’s now going to be an expensive problem.  If she’s smart, she’ll decide that it ends here.

Have they already done the reunion taping?  
I'm glad Archie is OK, and yes, I'm glad Shannon is too.  I hope this is a wake-up call for her, but I'm afraid it's going to take something more serious for her. 

The reunion was taped on September 8th. Bravo said it wouldn't resume filming for this.

Glad Archie is ok. 

Honestly, glad Shannon is ok too. I want her to get help. I really do. 

She broke her arm, so she is not ok after all.

Where did they film the reunion? Given that half the cast and Andy were in NYC last Wednesday.

I believe in Los Angeles. Taylor was at Avra restaurant in Los Angeles the previous night according to her IG. They probably all of them stayed at LA hotels (except for maybe Heather who owns a condo in LA) the day before the reunion. 

The seating chart at the reunion.

So Jeff Lewis is trying to play the sympathy card that Shannon is going through a tough time.  Please.  When has she not?  She's always miserable, high strung, overly emotional, needy.

And she is going to do what she does best - play the victim - and try to blame it on others - the cast, her ex's.

I agree with everyone who says that the drinking has been going on for years.  The blackouts where she doesn't remember the drunk calls.

Shannon Beador and ex John Janssen are 'definitely' back together, they were 'affectionate' before the DUI at NOBU in Newport Beach on Friday during a birthday party. They are dating each other despite her denial on Watch What Happens Live.

EDIT — My laugh emoji above is a sad one because I’m not surprised that they’re back together, and because John is about the last person Shannon needs in her life right now.

When Gina got her DUI, she got her sh*t together and stopped drinking completely.  Will Shannon do the same? I do think Shannon has a much bigger issue with drinking than Gina ever did, she needs rehab, not counseling.  I really hope Shannon gets the help she needs.  She should take a step back from the show for her own good, but she probably needs the money to pay her bills

So if I have read about this correctly, Shannon was on her way home after retrieving her phone from the restaurant. Did she go home first and pick up Archie? I hope she didn’t go to the restaurant with her dog and leave him in her vehicle while attending the party. Had she left him with John while attending? If she did that it sounds like her excuse so she could stay connected with John and see him. No matter, Archie did not belong in her car while she was driving drunk. Anyone see her alcohol level (if she blew)? I doubt she would hire Emily for legal counsel. More likely a DWI legal specialist as I’m sure she doesn’t want to be spilling her thoughts and secrets to someone who may blab like Emily.  (Even if Emily was tight lipped a lot of those women would surmise things by her demeanor when asked certain questions which could be misinterpreted) Shannon is in for a journey. Not one I’m interested in watching for my entertainment.

OMG. The speed. She was lucky to have gotten off with just a broken arm, and I hope they got poor Archie checked out. He was probably thrown around that car but good. She could have gone straight through that wall.

Put her through all the legal paces. She’s not going to get her life together otherwise.

What’s been left out of this too, is how has this affected the girls?

But, no….no drinking problems here.

The fact she drove away then tried to "pretend" to be walking hoping the cops wouldn't notice it was her is the crazy part

Jeeze…So it sounds like the drunkards got into a fight and Shannon gunned it out of there. “Extremely reckless” is the Understatement of the Year. 

Well I certainly hope none of the ladies are talking about Shannon and John and their TOTALLY NORMAL NOT A BIG DEAL PROBLEMS!!!! I mean every middle aged couple gets into 2am drunken fights where one person speeds away like they’re in the Dukes of Hazard with a dog riding shotgun when they aren’t even an official couple because they broke up or maybe didn’t but everything is fine!!!

I mean all this completely reminds me of me and my boyfriend (also both middle aged) except last Saturday night we went out to dinner and a movie and fell asleep after reading in bed by 10pm. Very similar relationships.

Oh yes- Remember when we first “met” her, she was having a dinner party at her house, she was a bundle of nerves and kept grabbing a shot (IIRC) to calm herself.  She definitely uses alcohol as a crutch.

She was always a vodka imbiber and wasn't terribly messy.  Dropped David and then it was tequila and shots and super messy.  I don't think she stops drinking long enough to ever be sober.  If she doesn't admit it, the kids need to get her a minder who never lets her out of their sight.  I knew someone from HS who wouldn't stop drinking so their parents hired a round the clock babysitter.

Oh, Shannon, that video is unforgivable.

The speed she was going was so fast and she was out of control. I saw a Tik-Tok of the damage and they also showed that she was leaking oil all over the street when she tried to drive away. Poor Archie. She needs help, she should go directly into Rehab.

Gina, to her credit hasn't said a damn word publicly and I think it looks better for her if she never does. Take the high road Gina.

I agree it’s better for Gina to take the high road but I bet she’s been burning up the phone line with calls to Emily.

I don't really care if Shannon wants to drink all the time. I do really care if she decides to get behind the wheel while doing it.  Parents of a 20 year old killed by a drunk speeding down the wrong way of the highway don't care if the driver was an alcoholic or just had a stressful year or whatever.  

There are breathalyzer ignition locks for cars and they are often required after a DUI offense. I think they should be standard equipment, at least on all RH cars.

She already said she doesn't have a drinking problem (her attorneys). And her friend Jeff Lewis claimed the same.

This is scary. She hit the curb of her side of the road before the car bounced to the opposite side of the road, and hit the house. Luckily they were no other cars on the road.....

But her main care on the show is how not to discuss her (shitty) relationship to John, and deny she is an alcoholic season after season....
