NBCUMV Shannon Beador
The Real Housewives of Orange County has had an explosive season, filled with confessions, revelations, and accusations. The season concluded last week, but the two-part reunion airs Wednesday, January 20 and January 27. Bravo released a trailer of the RHOC reunion episodes, and fans can expect the ladies to discuss all the drama that went down.
Bravo released a trailer earlier this week for the RHOC reunion. During the reunion, Shannon Storms Beador confronts fellow costar Braunwyn Windham-Burke. Towards the end of the trailer, Beador tells her, “You know what Braunwyn, when my daughter Stella was 14-years-old, you went up to her and said,” and then the clip cuts.
Fellow cast member Elizabeth Lyn Vargas gasps and comments, “That is horrific.” Beador continues screaming at Windham-Burke, “She was 14 f****** 14-years-old.” The camera then pans to Windham-Burke breaking down crying and telling her, “I am so sorry. I am so sorry.”
Beador Came Clean to Windham-Burke
Fans began to catch a glimpse into the dramatic situation during the first part of the RHOC reunion on Wednesday, January 20. The episode concluded with Beador confronting Windham-Burke. The topic of Windham-Burke’s sobriety came up, and Beador shared her side of the story.
“John [Beador’s boyfriend] and I spent a lot of time with Sean and Braunwyn, not this last summer but the summer before,” Beador said on the first part of the RHOC season reunion. “I didn’t know whether I was going to say this or not today but as a mom, I’m going to. When my daughter Stella was 14-years-old at our very first beach barbecue, you went up to her and said Stella, if you want the good stuff, text me.”
The reunion then cut short with Windham-Burke nodding and starting to cry. In the preview clip for next week’s episode, Windham-Burke is shown leaving the set crying and saying, “I can’t believe I did that to a kid.”
Before the episode aired, Windham-Burke addressed the situation. A fan commented on a post, “Please tell me Shannon is lying about her child,” per People.
“I honestly have no idea,” the 43-year-old Bravo star responded. “I was drinking at the time. I’ve heard from her what happened and made amends. I’ve since heard a very different version of what happened which isn’t at all what she said from someone I trust though.”
Outlets Previously Teased the Allegations
Earlier this week, AllAboutTheTea.com published a story claiming that Beador had accused Windham-Burke of offering an illegal drug to her daughter.
Both Bravo and sources close to production have come forward denying the allegations. Bravo told Heavy, “Braunwyn did not offer cocaine to Stella.”
Another source told People, “Braunwyn did not offer Shannon’s daughter cocaine,” a source told People. “There is an allegation that Shannon makes during part one of the [season 15] reunion. From the trailer, you can see that Braunwyn instantly took accountability for her actions.”
Fans will have to wait until the reunion episodes air on Wednesday, January 27 to see how the drama plays out.
