Shannon Beador: Magic Crystals and Nine Lemons

Kelly Dodd weighed in on Dos Amigas, and Vicki liked her comment.

What did Tamra do exactly?  Just quit and why?   Anyone have the story?

I find it so tacky to post your gifts on social media. I can see announcing an engagement with a picture of an engagement ring but a pricey promise ring? 
At their age? She’s ridiculous and he’s coming off like a thirsty old asshole. Another Slade is a good description of him. 

Not to mention she doesn't know the difference between "its" (possessive) and "it's (contraction).

The timing of this is convenient and perfectly positioned to create drama with Shannon. Those posts by Alexis are super thirsty. Cringe!

What I hate most about this Alexis ❤️ Johnny J (barf) crap is that instead of the possibility of next season Shannon facing a reckoning with her drinking problem and DUI and perhaps facing her demons head on, instead she'll get painted as a victim and either rally the troops to her cause or face a pile-on where she'll get a sympathy edit and continue to drink to her heart's and car ignition's content because it's all everyone else's fault, just like always.

This Tamra breaking up with the Amigas thing reeks of a ploy to get Cancer Scammer back on the show with a storyline.

It seems like some of these shows are looking for the next Scandoval or a derivative. Southern Charm had a similar storyline last season but watered down.

And another photo. She already loves him! They know each other for DAYS. This is so fake. She needs the Bravo money because the fiancé broke the engagement, and she is not employed otherwise. 

It's obvious they both try to bother Shannon with the Van Cleef ring, and photos. And her former fiancé. Alexis only pretends she is a nice, Christian woman, she is not.

"But you have shown me love that I've never known." Yeah. Same crap she said about her ex-husband and her ex-boyfriend in the beginning.

Shannon needs to quit this show for her own sanity. It's all about the thirst for (local) fame and notoriety and Shannon isn't that type of person. She's lonely and all she can attract while on this show are "thirsty for fame" whores. 

Take a break Shannon. Find a real man. And learn how to reign in your eccentric impulses. Get a psychologist. A therapist, whatever it takes because you are NOT mentally stable. IMO

Bravo said already that doesn't want Vicki as a regular cast member, only as a friend, and she declined. So, we are not in danger seeing Vicki any time soon.

As for Shannon, she will play the victim, and never do anything about her drinking. She was offered free rehab after the DUI, and she refused. She said it herself on a recent interview.

Kelly needs to stop. She is still obsessed with the HWs after her firing which happened MANY years ago. None of the former cast members care to get involved with HW issues, except for her and Vicki who is upset, as well. They probably cannot form an LLC now because it's too late, and Tamra "owns" the name too.

So true. She's probably getting bored with Rick and needs some other obsession. Rick can only build so many closets for her and have sex with her multiple times a day. 

She wants back on the show and less of Rick. She definitely seems like that type of person who thrives on the attention from her spouse in the beginning, then gets bored with both the attention and the S/O.

I'd rather Kelly came back and Tamrat is fired. I don't like either of the them but I'll take Kelly over tam.

Tres Amigas is now Dos Amigas.  No more Tamra in their Road Show.

Tamra is in season two of The Traitors, which started filming in Scotland in late September. That may be why she’s not a Una Amiga, depending on what’s involved before they start out.

(Highly recommend The Traitors, BTW. It’s on Peacock but I’m sure Bravo will air it at some point. Entertaining AF.)

Long time lurker, first time poster to this board.  I think it's the Alexis news that put me over the edge.

When she's not drinking---yes, I know it's hard to find those moments in recent seasons---I find Shannon to be the most likeable of the group. She's new-age-looney, but in a benign and sometimes amusing way.  And she's as self-centered as anyone else who thinks their life would be interesting to the masses.  Yet, despite that, she has displayed a capacity for empathy that I have yet to see in most of the others.  So I like her.  I wish she wasn't her own worst enemy.

But now I see Bravo functioning as an abusive partner, going out of its way to put her into a position of pain by bringing on Alexis as the new love interest of John, so they can blame her for whatever happens as a result.  They know how bad that will be for Shannon.  They're salivating over it.  And when she inevitably reacts, they will make it all her fault.  If any of you are familiar with domestic violence patterns, you will recognize this.  

I hope Alexis is above this, but the social media shared in this thread doesn't look promising.  I wish Shannon would remove herself from the situation, for her own sake and the sake of her kids.  And as I feel about any abuser, I wish Bravo would implode.

Good post. If anybody is in recovery, these shows ought to be off-limits. Personal well-being is more important than this. There is a cast member on BH with a history of an eating disorder, and last week she was comparing herself to others and their weight loss.

The Traitors were (was) filmed already though, and the first episode will air on the 12th of January, and Tamra just "broke up" with the other two Amigas. It seems they all unfollowed each other on social media. Tamra has a problem with Shannon who didn't tell her she had a DUI although they talked on the phone, and she had to find out from the media a few days after. She also thinks that Shannon should seek treatment because she could have killed somebody. Tamra is all lovey dovey with Heather right now.

I agree. I don’t want another season of victim Shannon. She’s exhausting and I can never deal with poor little Shannon. My only thing is that I don’t really understand why this is a scandal. Shannon and Alexis weren’t friends, were they? I get that Alexis and John are probably just as gross as Shannon and John maybe even grosser but….so what? John broke up with Shannon. Alexis barely knows Shannon that I remember. I just don’t see how this is a big betrayal. Were Alexis and Shannon friends or something and I don’t remember it?

It's not a betrayal at all. Shannon and Alexis were never friends. John's behavior is tacky though, and he is a famewhore, wanting to be on tv again by going after another local HW.

 

 

[Starlight925]

While Shannon exhausts the heck out of me, and no, it isn't a betrayal by Alexis, as they were never friends, it's horrible the way Alexis is shoving their "perfect love" in everyone's face.

My friend worked at Nordstrom's shoes, and Alexis was in one day,  and she treated everyone like crap.  Pointing her fingers, bring me this....take away that...all while leaving the area in a mess.  Total biatch.  Never a thank you, just treated everyone as less than.  

The measure of a person can be shown in how they treat people of service, and the Alexis stories I heard were that she thinks she is greater than.  

I do hope Shannon will come back with some sort of true authenticity and a true show of responsibility and remorse for her DUI.  She should have been out there helping re-plant what she mowed down.

Edited January 21 by Starlight925

[65mickey]

Shannon has never taken responsibility for anything that she does or says. Oh wait she doesn't remember half of what she says. She will return to the show and blubber her way though the season crying about how she suffered terribly for the past 3 years. And she will claim that she doesn't have drinking problem even though her blood alcohol level was 3 times the legal limit on the night of the wreck.  She is a bottomless pit of entitlement and need.

My thought was that there may have been preplanning involved with this “tour” that could have started months prior to its hitting the road.

I'm not sure about this. Andy Cohen gave a WifeTime Achievement award to Vicki on BravoCon in November, and he announced it on WWHL months earlier. Vicki most probably thought she would become a full time HW again. The contracts for the new season were just offered to the HWs/friends, and filming started a few days ago. Vicki said she was offered a friend contract, but she didn't accept it.

I'm relieved Kelly will be fired. I'm binging and on season 14. She can be very likable but when he is angry, she is MEAN. 

I'm on season 14 right now, and it's glow-up Shannon. She lost a lot of weight and had a nonsurgical face lift. She looks fantastic and is fun. 

[Bossa Nova]

I cam here to see if there was any chatter about John's recent lawsuit against Shannon.

I dont know too much about it, other than she was on Jeff Lewis' radio show recently (around April 1st) talking about it. That in and of itself bothered me for her. What is she doing ?!! Shannon got into the details: apparently John is suing Shannon for about $75K  - the amount in which she admits she borrowed from him when they were involved. From her own mouth, I came away with thinking that now she has also mis-managed her money. Yeah yeah, so one season Bravo did not pay the Wives on a one lump sum timely basis. That was her excuse, so she had to borrow from John to make ends meet. And the girls were costing her money with pre-college preparations.

While I felt bad for her, thinking, Jezuz, one more bad post-David, life problem for her in laundry list of big ones, ...she still is a mess.

John sued her during filming to embarrass her (so that some HW would bring it up, and it would be filmed). He could have waited a couple of months. He wanted the world to know it was for a face lift, as well. I also wonder why Shannon didn't repay the debt for two years, but she might have hoped John wouldn't ask for the money. 

As for Shannon, yes, she probably mismanages her money. I was shocked to read she needed to borrow money from John. Her Bravo salary is large, and David still paid child support back then, and he shared/shares the cost of college.

Just saw a clip of next season on Dana Wilkey.  John Jansen actually looks younger with Alexis.  Not sure why that is.  Maybe Alexis is less stressful to be around.

[RealHousewife]

Does anyone know why Shannon uses last names so frequently? Several seasons ago, she said if she knew multiple people with the same first name, she would include a last name, like Heather Dubrow. I also wondered if maybe it was something she did just because she was new and these women weren't her real friends.

But I heard her say "John Jansen" about her serious partner in one of the last episodes I watched (season 16 I think). The only other person I've seen do that is Lisa Rinna about Harry Hamlin, but I figured Rinna did that because Harry is famous.

Started watching the season right as the pandemic started.  Braunwyn's wedding vow renewal was remarkable in many ways.  It was remarkable in that a few short months later, she came busting out of the closet (good for her!!!) and Shannon was SOOOOO fucking drunk it was embarrassing.  Shannon is a goddam mess.  My guess is that is what John saw day in and day out.  He had the job of managing her at that wedding get away and it was ugly.

Is this the first time there will be a Housewife who has to deal with seeing her ex with someone else? I know this is a common theme on Vanderpump Rules, but not sure if I've seen it on a Housewives show. That has to sting. My heart goes out to Shannon. 

I don't remember Alexis being meanspirited either, but I don't like that she's coming back under these circumstances. It feels mean towards Shannon. 

Hopefully Alexis refers to him as John and not "John Jansen." It sounds so weird to me every time I hear Shannon refer to someone who's supposed to be close to her by his/her full name.

I don't think Jo ever had to film with Slade in a relationship with another cast member, did she? IRC, Slade and Lauri had hooked up at some point, and then Gretchen joined the show when Jo was gone. 

The closest to what Shannon will deal with that I could think of is Tom on RHONY. Sonja seemed to have feelings for him and was hurt that LuAnn was marrying him.

Shannon's situation is different from the above. No, there is no girl code expected with Alexis. I know they weren't friends, but it still has to hurt that a woman returns to the show with the man who say you've loved more than you've ever loved anyone.

[Salacious Kitty]

Lauri and Slade dated briefly when Jo and Slade were in a break. Jo and Slade got back together, but this all happened off-screen and wasn't ever mentioned on the show (other than the catxh up they do every final episode before the reunion).

I think Jo was on an episode either before or after he was with Laurie and they pretended Jo and Gretchen were friends.  Gretchen had a part in a music vid or something.  

I am sure it hurt.  Shannon did pretend last season she and John weren't together together.  But then he took care of her after her DUI.  Maybe he had some guilt since he kicked her out and she drove away drunk.  Either way, messy AF.

I wouldn't say that in and of itself is mean spirited - it could go either way.  BUT, she also reposted an IG from someone else that said something how John never smiled with Shannon, and this proves Shannon was the problem.  Now THAT is meanspirited and can't be taken any other way.

I still feel badly for her, because this guy is OBVIOUSLY trash, and she's too dim to see how she's being used by someone she thinks loves her.  She's being a fool and a pick me girl, but I still ALWAYS hate to see a woman get played by a dirty man.  Shannon doesn't yet understand she's WAY better off without this loser, but hopefully she'll see that soon.
