Beador appeared on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live” ahead of the Season 15 reunion finale and revealed why she decided to confront the mother-of-seven over her daughter Stella’s claim that Windham-Burke would get the teen drugs.
“It happened at one of our summer beach barbecues and she didn’t offer her drugs,” Beador told Jeff Lewis, according to Page Six. “She said she put her number in Stella’s phone and wrote ‘Cool Mom.’ And she said, ‘There’s a lot of bad drugs out there. If you want the good stuff, text me.'”
She continued, “Stella is … a doll and she didn’t want to be a tattletale or a snitch, so she didn’t tell me. Had I known that it had just happened at my party, I would have handled things completely differently, but I found out about it right before we were going to start filming. And then I’m not going to bring up that issue on camera, because I don’t want to drag my daughter through it. We talked it through and resolved it. And then when Braunwyn was talking about her sobriety, I’m not going to bring that up.”
“She had the audacity to sit there at the reunion and Andy went around and asked every person, ‘Do you think Shannon has a drinking problem?'” Beador said. “Everyone said no. And then Braunwyn, you know, the saint of all saints, knowing who an alcoholic isn’t said, ‘Yes you are.’ And you know, my response is, you’re basing that on all the times we were drinking together.”
She alleged by adding, “When you passed out [in] my kids bed, I had to call Sean and say, ‘I’m putting her in a car right now.’ That’s where you’re basing your judgment of whether I’m an alcoholic or not. That’s damaging for me. I mean, I’m working super hard on a brand. I am, I did let myself go during COVID and I’m not proud of it, but 2021 is the year of the glow up. And I’m going to change all of that, but don’t put a label on me as an alcoholic. Do I go out and have fun? Yes, I do.”
During the January 20 episode, Shannon claimed Braunwyn approached her teenage daughter Stella, who was 14 at that time, at a cast party while filming season 14 of the Bravo hit reality series.
“I [didn’t] know whether I was going to say this today, but as a mother, I’m going to,” she said. “When my daughter Stella was 14 years old at her very first beach barbecue, you went up to her and said, ‘Stella, if you want the good stuff, text me.’”
Braunwyn, for her part, started to cry after Shannon brought up the allegations, calling her actions “f—ng disgusting” and confessing, “I think out of all the things I’ve done, that may be the worst.”
