Shannon Beador’s legal battle with Jim Bellino has finally come to an end. According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, the Real Housewives of Orange County star has released the final lien she had placed against Jim’s business.
On July 2, Shannon’s lawyer told the court they no longer need to attach the judgment against his Trampoline company in Lake Forest, California.
Shannon was owed $137,000 in attorney fees from Jim after shutting down a defamation lawsuit he brought against her and Tamra Judge. Recently, Jim paid up the money after years of fighting Shannon in court.
A couple of months after receiving the check, Shannon released the lien she placed against Jim’s San Juan Capistrano mansion. She had been going after Jim for the money ever since February 2020 when she originally filed the lien.
Last year, Bellino sued Beador and Tamra Judge for defamation over comments they made about his divorce and accused them of defaming his name and businesses when they appeared on a live taping of comedian Heather McDonald's podcast, The Juicy Scoop.
Beador was dismissed from the case and was awarded $137,340.25 in the defamation lawsuit filed against her by Bellino. According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the award will cover Beador’s legal bills.
Also, Bellino filed a lawsuit against McDonald in June 2019. He accused her of defaming him by allowing Tamra Judge Shannon Beador to talk about his divorce from Alexis and his trampoline business and then publishing the allegedly defamatory statements on her podcast.
Jim sued McDonald for damages in excess of $1 million. In June 2020, McDonald and Bellino said in a joint statement via TMZ that they came to “a settlement of the dispute on mutually satisfactory terms.”
The joint statement also said Heather “never intended to cause any of the damage” to Jim's reputation or that of his business.
Meanwhile, Jim is still fighting Judge in court over her “jail” comment, according to The Blast.
