Shannon Beador: Magic Crystals and Nine Lemons

[b2H]

That voice is probably due to her walking on eggshells with the guy.  We know the end of the story, but I would put good money on it that she is much less tense now.

Shannon walks on eggshells? 

She has frequently stormed out of events at which David was present as well as berated him on camera multiples times over the past several seasons.

About cute Archie in the water--if that's a jacuzzi, it's probably not very effective for cooling off.  I wonder if he's confused, thinking, "Hmm...I used to get in the cement pond and cool off, and now it just seems to make me hotter. Maybe I shouldn't dip myself all the way in."

She stated in the post that the heater isn't on.

Aah, I don't twitter so I didn't understand the #heatisnoton.  I remember seeing it and thinking it had something to do with the heat wave in Southern California, like people were tagging their posts with #heatisnoton to show what they're doing now that the heat wave was over? 

That's nice of her to have it just for Archie's use.  I'd love to have an outdoor jacuzzi, and I would definitely have the heat on.

[IKnowRight]

Shannon also posted yesterday on Instagram/FB/twitter a very happy pic of her even slimmer self at a QVC studio.  

"Incredible day @QVC!!! Exciting things brewing! Stay tuned!" 

I will guess a tea/coffee/herbal drink for weight loss?!!  Hmmm...Possibly related to the healthy restaurant idea??

I love Shannons quick wit, and sarcastic personality!  David would make me drink too!  Such a waste.  I hope Shannon finds a good guy that appreciates her and her quirkiness!  Get those crystals shined and those 9 lemons out Shannon!  Your time to shine!

Hey Shannon, the very best thing you can do for your daughters is to keep them on this show.  I mean if your melting down every five minutes wasn’t enough, I’m sure them having to go through the divorce on TV will make them super well adjusted.  Why, look at those lovely Knickerbocker girls! And the genteel Curtin ladies.  And your BFF Tamra’s daughter.   Yes, it’s best that you exercise your narcissistic desire to be on TV earning money you don’t need instead of making sure your kids get to finish growing up in a semi normal lifestyle.

Where exactly is Shannon's income going to come from if she doesn't work? This show provides her with a mid six figure income. I don't see Shannon's kids going down the same path as the Curtain girls-who were headed down the path long before the show ever started-same with Tammy's daughters.  Shannon actually has her children attend school and supports their extra-curricular activities such as sports and music.  I think they will do just fine and might even have little pressure lifted now that their parents have decided to live apart.  

[ghoulina]

I don't see Shannon's girls turning out like the Curtain girls. Their parents were fucking idiots, especially Lynn. Shannon has emotional issues she needs to get control of, but she's a sharp woman and I don't see her letting her kids walk all over her and just sit there like "huh?" as Lynn did.

Her wealthy ex?  Family money?  Getting a regular job like the rest of us?

The woman is a mess.  Tv has amplified it.

kids react badly to divorce, especially teens.  Putting them on tv can only make it worse.

maybe David will forbid it like Simon did.

I have wondered as well if David would be OK with the girls being on the show if he were not. He has lost any ability to control the narrative if he is not on. Shannon can say whatever she wants. But she has up to this point, so my guess is he will allow it. 

I hope she keeps their part in the filming at a minimum. Please no scenes with her comforting a crying daughter over the divorce. No scenes of them being openly vulnerable about their emotions. Let them have some privacy in all of this. Divorce is usually harder on kids at this age, and they don't need to relive it all months later when it hits our TV's. But again, Shannon has always handled this part horrendously IMO, and don't see any reason that she would change anything now.

I agree that divorce can be harder for kids in their teens but, on the flip side, the Beador girls may be feeling some relief.

Sheesh - I am in the minority here, obviously, but I cannot stand Shannon.  I think that she treats everyone she comes in contact with, especially her own family, like shit.  I don't even blame David for stepping out on her - who would want to be with that piece of shit?  Do I condone cheating?  OH HELL NO.  He was beside himself.  The bitch kept him from his own MOM.  Anyone who does that is a fucking bitch.  I hope that she suffers thru this and I hope that him and the girls can get happy.  They certainly deserve it after living with this piece of crap.

I don't hate Shannon and I can't give David a pass on cheating (he shoulda just left), but I agree with everything else.   

I do like Shannon when she's in a more upbeat place but that ain't often.  The good news is that she possibly, hopefully recognizes that she has problems interacting with others who share the same turf as her.  Friends are likely fine, but in-laws and co-workers seem to be where the challenges arise.

I actually liked Shannon that first season that she was on.  But, of course, they're very guarded & on their best behavior.  But, Shannon let loose this season and it was not pretty at all.  The way that she treated David was appalling.  I really felt for their daughters.  What a horrid thing to do to your family.  She is a narcissist - textbook.

The whole season she talked only about herself - my weight, my problems, my marriage.  Who gives a shit, Shannon?  You make this show unwatchable.

He could see his mom anytime he wanted.  Shannon didn't have to see her for him to see his mother.  If a 50+ year old man blames anyone but himself for not seeing his family he's an idiot.  A idiot with no stones.

You mean the same mom/grandmother that came to the girls rock concert to bad mouth their mother to people that she (the mom/grandmother) didn't know? All while she knew she was on camera? The one that stole their big night?

David is an adult, if he wanted to see his toxic mom, he was free to do so without Shannon. No matter how much you dislike someone, cheating is never appropriate, ever. Leave/separate first before you start up with someone outside of your marriage. IMO, David, not Shannon, put himself before everyone else, including his children.

As for the girls, they live with Shannon full time, not their father.

That's a Shannon bookshelf for sure.   Little trinkets perfectly placed.  Controlled and lovely in presentation with a subtle but noticeable playful side - but they are something some poor housekeeper has to maintain when he/she dusts so that the perfection of it is maintained.

Shannon does have a playful side, but she does like perfection and controlled order.

Thanks Luna, My wish was answered her income and expense statement.  How is these people can spend so much on laundry per month?  How does one spend over $10,000. 00  a month on laundry?

I am not surprised they spend $55k a month on living expenses-Shannon pays $12k a month in rent.

So between the two of them they made $200,000.00 a month or $2.4 million a year.  Not bad. ( i believe Shannon's was net and David's was gross-so there is a difference.)

I am not too worried about Shannon surviving she is in line to receive between $30-40 grand a month in child support plus spousal support.

Yes, I do mean that.  I saw it differently, though.  I saw it as a mother who was desperate to get her son back.  Of course, David is an adult.  I also saw that differently.  He could have left her, which is the right thing to do (I agree with you there), but, I honestly think that he truly did want to keep his family together.  The mom usually always gets the kids, so I'm not feeling that argument.

If he wanted to keep his family together, he wouldn' have given his preteen child his freaking wedding ring to return to her mother, that has got to be one of the biggest piece of shit moves ever.

Shannon revealed that David did this and he confirmed it. It was what changed my mind about David, until then he had my sympathy. 

I got the sense that David learned how to "gaslight" someone from his mother by watching her in that episode. It's weird, that David's mom was cheated on by David's father but supported her son cheating on his wife, talk about sick!

I get it, I did not like Shannon her first season but her second season changed my mind on both her and David. She accepted apologies, moved on and built real friendships, which is not the norm for these HWs. Most friendships on these show are nothing more than "show/camera friendships" but with Shannon, they are real and continue after the cameras are gone. So, I find her less fake/guarded than the rest of them. BUT, she still has her flaws, some that drive me nuts, but I don't find her nasty nor do I think she does/says things with bad intentions or just for the cameras, unlike most of the others. 

As for having different opinions about these HWs, it would be boring if we all felt/thought the same way. I enjoy reading different opinions. 

[lunastartron]

I keep reading that no one can impel a partner into an extramarital affair with their own behavior. And that's not necessarily a premise with which I disagree.  

What is notable to me, however, is that Shannon has repeatedly argued that she has been forced/pushed into different destructive behavior i.e. what was to me a very convenient retcon (because she was already stacking on weight prior to the bus ride from hell) in which Vicki's retaliation compelled her to gobble food and drink as well as her ascription of all the shrieking, crying, and plate-throwing she did this year to David's emotional distance. Although she's walked back some of these in the face of viewer backlash, she seems definitively comfortable presenting her poor conduct as the result of being influenced/nudged into patterns of action by emotional angst, even when the behavior in question has gone on for years (i.e. screaming, shrieking, stumbling out of gatherings). 

When recounting the night that David locked himself in Adaline's room, she couldn't even take responsibility for getting drunk, instead floating the possibility that she had been "slipped something" by ... well, who exactly would spike Shannon's drink? Aside from that being a textbook sign of a drinking problem, it underlines the lack of agency she assigns to herself in many of her self-narratives. 

Here is the clip of Shannon's reaction to Tamra divulging what David's mother said. She immediately flies out of her seat, sticks her fingers in David's face, and has no hesitation whatsoever about screeching at and humiliating him in public. And this is when she was happy in general with David and their relationship. http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county/season-11/episode-12/videos/shannon-loses-it-when-she-hears

For all of her tearful handwringing over whether or not David has been looking at her adoringly enough, I don't recall that many instances of Shannon going out of her way to express her ardor to him. Complaining ad nauseum about chips, his inadequate enthusiasm for quinoa bowls, how he fucked up the wine selection, when he last held her hand, how he doesn't spend enough time with her because he wakes up early, his exercise regimen, etc etc etc. 

To me, they both seem to have expressed their resentment toward each other via passive aggression in a cycle that long predates the affair. And both had the freedom and latitude to leave but elected to perpetuate their toxic dynamic.

I see Shannon as the vocal one in their marriage, while David played the mind games. Yes, they are both guilty in how toxic their marriage was but only one of them stepped outside of the marriage and that was David, so his level of guilt is greater, by far, IMO. 

[Baltimore Betty]

It is interesting to me that Shannon has not once mentioned that Asian doctor, tinctures, crystals, feng shui or the other things she made everyone in her house crazy with in past seasons.  I guess she realized with or without 9 lemons in a bowl life happens the way it happens.

Here is the Daily Mail's story:  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5149025/Shannon-Beador-spends-WAY-earns.html

I immediately though of you when I first happened across it, zoeysmom! 

[zoeysmom]

I have a theory about Shannon and David and like most marriages I do believe it involves money.

My guess is David saw an opening to end the marriage as soon as Shannon signed onto do RHOC.  The affair was just icing on the cake for David.  David was probably excited to see Shannon bring in six figures and with the house on the market he was just steps away from waltzing out of the marriage.  However, with David (and thank you Luna for the restaurant scene refresh) he tends to like to be a victim.  Yep, Shannon was a chip Nazi and I do believe the first season she was on a potato derider.  My first memory of David is the night he and Shannon were  going for their disastrous over nighter and David bitched about Shannon's car being dirty.  

At some point, and I do believe it had to do with the affair not being all in and want to run off into the sunset with David, he reviewed Shannon's first season and (my guess) a big pay increase for her second season, figured it was worth it to stick around.  In addition there were a lot of perks-the whole family would be flown to NYC for Shannon's appearances on WWHL, travel, dinners and I do believe Eddie and David started getting close. The house had not sold. Oh and I do believe he does love his daughters.   

Her third season David was very vocal-his comments to Vicki, the whole Brooks fiasco, Kelly and her mouth.  I do believe the straw that broke the back of the relationship is when Vicki's allegations of David beating the shit out of Shannon surfaced.  Shannon could not put the genie back in the bottle and as he said she obsessed and she pulled away.  I do think she had a three fold obsession-Vicki's blackmail, her weight gain and eventually the restaurant concept.

Now for the money-Shannon had a remarkably long run on the show not taking endorsements or venturing into some sort of business.  The scene with Shannon telling David the restaurant would not make money for a couple of years, I believe sealed the fate of their marriage.  First David would be fronting the money (according to Shannon on WWHL) and taking a big chunk of time away from the family.

In the Daily Mail story there was a mention that Shannon did not have access to some of their accounts.  So either they had a pre-nup and David's business is separate or David may be a little more controlling than shown on the show.  My guess is David is probably very happy Shannon continues to receive raises for doing the show and may limit his monthly contribution to Shannon for child support and spousal support.  My other guess is he has been hiding money from Shannon.

Most wealthy people make a pretty quiet final distribution of assets and in David's case is he is on the hook for spousal support for 8 1/2 years and of course child support for 4 1/2  years.

Thanks Luna, My wish was answered her income and expense statement.  How is these people can spend so much on laundry per month?  How does one spend over $10,000. 00  a month on laundry?

I am not surprised they spend $55k a month on living expenses-Shannon pays $12k a month in rent.

So between the two of them they made $200,000.00 a month or $2.4 million a year.  Not bad. ( i believe Shannon's was net and David's was gross-so there is a difference.)

I am not too worried about Shannon surviving she is in line to receive between $30-40 grand a month in child support plus spousal support.

Here is the Daily Mail's story:  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5149025/Shannon-Beador-spends-WAY-earns.html

I think it is a typo. It includes both new clothing and dry-cleaning, imo.

Shannon revealed that David did this and he confirmed it. It was what changed my mind about David, until then he had my sympathy. 

I got the sense that David learned how to "gaslight" someone from his mother by watching her in that episode. It's weird, that David's mom was cheated on by David's father but supported her son cheating on his wife, talk about sick!

I got the sense that she did not really care for Shannon from the get go.

I can see as a mother’s seeing your son being married to an eccentric individual is not for the faint of heart, imho.

all those crystals, fengshui and all weird treatments that Shannon indulged into, during her marriage might have gotten on the mom’s nerves especially when his son paid for all.

I think that Shannon and David came from two very different backgrounds and had issues early on.

A peek at Shannon’s new neighborhood - and second pic of her post shows front hall with those decorated bookshelves. Glad that she seems to be doing well!

She’s lost a ton of weight, and I don’t mean pounds!
