If you were looking to get advice from a Bravolebrity, Erika Jayne is probably the last person you’d want to ask. In fact, she probably wouldn’t even crack a Top 20 list. However, she just weighed in on Shannon Beador’s drinking on Real Housewives of Orange County. Apparently, Erika doesn’t condone what she’s seeing.
Sobering advice for Shannon Beador from Erika Jayne
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star weighed in on Shannon’s drinking during a recent episode of Two Ts In a Pod. While filling in for Tamra Judge, Erika gossiped with Teddi Mellencamp about RHOC Season 18.
Of course, Shannon’s drinking has been a central storyline thanks to last year’s DUI crash. Some folks assumed she’d aim for sobriety following the accident, but she has continued to drink.
She admitted to using alcohol as a coping mechanism in the past, but she felt like she’d be okay to hit the booze a little bit while filming. Moderation is key, but Erika isn’t a fan of what she’s seen so far.
Erika explained, “I would prefer not to see her drinking while she’s in such a terrible time.”
“I think that that’s counterproductive. So when I see her order a cocktail, I’m like, ‘God, don’t do that.’ You know, just — if you’re in a bad place,” she continued.
Erika Jayne has been down this road
Of course, Erika’s castmates on RHOBH expressed similar concerns about her in past seasons. When her entire life fell apart thanks to her scamming ex-husband, we watched Erika get sloppy drunk on more than one occasion. Garcelle Beauvais warned that her behavior could “lead to an alcoholism.”
Eventually, Erika admitted that her drinking was getting a little overboard as she navigated all of the changes in her life. With that in mind, she cautioned that Shannon should be careful with how she navigates her alcohol intake.
“I was trying to die, I was trying to hurt myself,” Erika recalled. “I was really trying to not wake up. And not hear it anymore.”
“You know, I was tired. So I didn’t care. I don’t know what [Shannon is] feeling. But that’s true. I wanted it to stop. All of it,” Erika confessed.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
