There's not one dull moment in the world of the 'Real Housewives' and when it's a reunion, it gets even better. Kelly Dodd and Shannon Beador passed sniping remarks at each other at the taping of the reunion episode and it was not a great scene.

In the second installment of the reunion episode, Dodd alleged that Beador had gone under the knife to lose 40 lbs before shooting began in February.

Dodd was confident because it was his ex, Dr Brian Reagan, who was responsible for the surgery. Even though Beador denied the claims flat out, she did elaborate on how she had opted for BodyTite, which is essentially a minimal-invasive procedure for skin tightening. It's scarless and usually done to get rid of stubborn fat areas, Beador added.

Dodd, however, wasn't ready to let go and poked her continuously to tell the truth. When Beador didn't budge, Dodd brought up another subject, which put Beador on the headlines and created controversies.

Dodd asked if Beador would like to talk about the time when she was drunk driving while hanging out with boys, while her daughter called Dodd to inform her of the same. Beador acknowledged this but also added she was tired of being labeled as "drunk" every season and one doesn't lose 40lbs if she were to drink that much.

Dodd and Beador have scores to settle, and that's evident. But how low are they going to go for this? They can't see eye to eye, thanks to the lawsuit that Beador has been shelling out on, for which she blames Dodd. In one of the recent episodes of 'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen' we see how Beador is visibly upset and worried about the money that's going into this.

"Honest to god, my daughter is going to college next year and I have lost four years of tuition,” Beador told Cohen through tears, who then asked how much has she spent to date. “A quarter of a million dollars,” she replied and added that it'll go up soon.
