Shannon Beador’s co-stars talked about her drunk tendencies just 10 days before she was arrested for DUI and hit-and-run.
During the “Real Housewives of Orange County” reunion episode that aired Wednesday, Heather Dubrow asked Beador if she “really” thinks she’s this “Machiavellian behind the scenes,” to which Beador said she did.
“Please don’t get angry with me, [but] you tend to drink and call some of us,” Dubrow said.
Dubrow’s comment seemed to instantly upset Beador, who fired back, “That’s a f–ked up thing to say to me.”
“Do I go out and drink sometimes?” Beador asked. “For you to say I need rehab, for you to like paint a picture so that I’m calling people every single night, for you to say that I can breathalyze.”
Beador, 59, was specifically calling out Dubrow, Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson for all making comments about her alcohol intake earlier this year.
“Shannon says s–t, and then she wants to pretend that she didn’t do it, and if you can say things that are that f–king hurtful and not even remember you said it, you need to go f–king check yourself into rehab,” Kirschenheiter, 39, said in a confessional on an Aug. 30 episode.
Meanwhile, Simpson – who previously joked that Beador should attach a breathalyzer to her phone and breathe into it before calling people – stood by her claim and said, “it’s a good invention.”
“You say it’s my truth serum,” Beador screamed. Kirschenheiter wasn’t having Beador’s clapbacks and instead asked her, “You don’t wanna look at that?”
“You don’t wanna look at all though Shannon,” she reiterated. “You don’t want to look at it all.”

Kirschenheiter then asked Beador why she still doesn’t like her after all these years. Beador insisted that it all stemmed from the comments Kirschenheiter made about her drinking five years prior.
“From the beginning of you starting the show, you said in your first season when I was going through my acrimonious divorce, you said I masked with alcohol, and I said, ‘Did I drink more this year? Absofreakinglutely,’” she said, referring to her tumultuous divorce from David Beador.
Shannon ended her argument by emphasizing that her “job is to be Shannon Storms Beador!”
The “RHOC” reunion was taped just 10 days before Shannon drove while inebriated and crashed into the side of a Newport Beach, Calif,, home last month.
TMZ reported earlier this week that Shannon has since enrolled in an outpatient behavioral wellness program with an alcohol component.
She has yet to address the arrest or her co-star’s comments, but her attorney told Page Six last month that she is “extremely apologetic and remorseful.”
“Shannon is prepared to accept full responsibility for her actions,” he said.
