'RHOC': Shannon Beador breaks down over paper towel shortage amid Covid-19, viewers say it's 'just too much'

'People like Shannon Beador are the reason no one could find toilet paper for weeks,' said a viewer

While Kelly Dodd is pretty much nonchalant about the Covid-19 outbreak, her fellow housewife, Shannon Beador, is on the other end of the spectrum, a big ball of anxiety and fear. In the latest episode of 'Real Housewives of Orange County', we got to witness how each of the housewives reacted to the news of the pandemic. As usual Kelly continued calling coronavirus the flu and being completely dismissive about it. Shannon, on the other hand, began freaking out over it, and started stockpiling the groceries and household essentials in anticipation of things getting out of hand.

Shannon could be seen losing her mind over the news that the grocery stores weren't carrying any meat, and were out of paper towels. She cries to her boyfriend John, over not being able to use paper towels anymore because they can't get it anymore. She also began reaching out to her fellow housewives with concerns over coronavirus and how everything would change. 

Later in the episode, we see Shannon reaching out to Kelly and trying to express her anxieties over the coronavirus scenario. As usual, Kelly tries downplaying Shahannon's concerns. The housewife then points out to Kelly that she has scarring on her lungs, which puts her at risk. Kelly tries to lighten the mood by saying that she was ready to trade her Positive Beverage water for some paper towels. Shannon gets more worried about hearing Kelly's casual attitude and hangs up feeling more anxious than ever.

While fans understood Shannon's concerns, they were however amused with her over-the-top reaction to not having paper towels at home. A fan tweeted, "Shannon crying over paper towels is sending me #RHOC." Another fan wrote, "People like Shannon Beador are the reason no one could find toilet paper for weeks. #rhoc." "Hearing Shannon whine about running out of paper towels in the early days of covid is annoying. Like girl get your priorities straight. #rhoc," commented a fan.

Fans also began joking about how Shannon might not survive 2020 if something like paper towels was sending her into a breakdown. A fan expressed, "Chiiile.... Shannon crying over the damn paper towels...I’m going to need you to get it together, lady. You’re not going to make it through 2020 at this rate. #RHOC." "Shannon crying over a paper towel is just to (sic) much. I can't do Shannon energy over covid. Use a dish towel and wash it. Someone needs to tell her about reduce, reuse recycle #rhoc," shared a fan. "Shannon crying about paper towels lmao.. this cannot be real. Like girl.. #rhoc," observed a fan.
