In a surprising turn of events, Shannon Beador, a well-known face on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” recently found herself in the midst of a legal ordeal in Newport Beach. The incident led to her arrest and booking on charges related to drunk driving and a hit-and-run, and here’s what we know. Wrenklin tells the story of Shannon Beador’s arrest for DUI and hit-and-run after striking a house.
On a fateful Saturday night, Beador’s car collided with a residential property, resulting in noticeable damage to the house. TMZ, citing anonymous law enforcement sources, first reported the incident. Newport Beach police confirmed that Beador now faces charges for an alcohol-related DUI and a hit-and-run, both classified as misdemeanors.
What followed the accident is equally startling. TMZ’s report stated that after making contact with the residence, Beador initially continued driving. However, she abruptly stopped her vehicle in the middle of the street, where she stepped out, accompanied by her loyal canine companion. In an attempt to downplay the situation, she seemingly strolled as if taking a casual evening walk when the police arrived, responding to a 911 call from concerned witnesses.
Shannon Beador made her debut on Bravo’s iconic reality series, “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” during its memorable Season 9 back in 2014. Since then, she has become a beloved and enduring presence on the show. Currently airing its 17th season, the series recently wrapped up its latest reunion episode. Additionally, Beador, along with her co-stars Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge, made a lively appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” just last week.
Fans of the show can rest assured that Beador is slated to continue her role in the remaining episodes of Season 17 and the highly anticipated reunion. Moreover, she is among the Bravo talents scheduled to make a star-studded appearance at BravoCon this November in Las Vegas.
Despite the high-profile nature of the incident, Bravo has remained tight-lipped, and as of now, there has been no official response to TheWrap’s request for comments regarding Shannon Beador’s arrest.
