'RHOC' Season 18 star Shannon Beador addresses John Janssen's $75K lawsuit
Shannon Beador has responded to claims about a lawsuit filed by her ex, John Janssen, concerning money he supposedly provided her for a facelift.
As per People, Shannon's ex John has initiated a lawsuit against her in Orange County Superior Court, alleging that she owes him $75,000. The claims include breach of oral contract and promissory fraud, among other issues. He reportedly provided her with the funds in several installments, including one specifically for a facelift, and the lawsuit states that she had agreed to repay the loan with interest.
Talking about the lawsuit, the reality TV star said, "I am shocked and disappointed that John has filed a lawsuit. My attorney has been in constant communication with his counsel. I agreed to pay John what he wanted because I knew that attorneys fees would surpass the amount sought, but more importantly to eliminate the negative emotional components that come with a lawsuit."
"It is important that I continue to focus on the positive aspects of my life and move forward. John declined the offer because he refused to sign a mutual non-disparagement agreement. I was hoping that if I met his baseless demand we could at least use this as an opportunity to bring complete closure to this chapter in my life," she added.

The podcaster presented a strong point, leading the women to question the legitimacy of John's $75,000 lawsuit. Shannon suggested that the money was meant as a way to repay her and was supposedly a gift.
“Here’s the problem. The whole reason why Shannon has been upset all these years has been that he really committed to her if he couldn’t even pick up a meal. This is why you always have to wait to hear the defense, the prosecution tells a very good story. Shannon is the prosecution," Heather shared in a confessional.
