Shannon Beador needs to go on a long vacation without her phone after this season of Real Housewives of Orange County. She’s been pushed to the brink so many times, both from her toxic breakup with John Janssen and the fallout of her DUI accident. Sure, Shannon is far from perfect in any of these situations, but it is hard to watch her continually be beaten down.
To make it even tougher, John’s very recent girlfriend Alexis Bellino joined RHOC to rub salt in Shannon’s wounds. We haven’t even mentioned John’s alleged legal actions, threats of blackmail, and beyond. Seriously, Shannon deserves a minute to breathe.
Shannon Beador is doing her best
In a recent interview with E! News, Gina Kirschenheiter, who hasn’t always had a great relationship with Shannon, also praised her co-star’s strength. “She is happy,” Gina said. “For somebody who went through a lot in a small period of time, I feel like Shannon has handled it very well.” Exactly, and that’s putting it lightly. I’m shocked Shannon was able to film through the end of the season considering all of the curveballs that have been thrown in her direction.
Then, Gina even put herself in Shannon’s shoes. She theorized how she’d react if she broke up with Travis Mullen and his new girlfriend immediately became her coworker. Then, you have the court battle on top of it all. “I would lose my mind,” Gina added. “So, I actually think she did a pretty good job, all things considered, of even just getting through it.” Seriously, Bravo, can we please send Shannon on a long vacation after all that she’s given to the network this season? It’s definitely been earned.
Real Housewives of Orange County continues on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
