If you watched Season 15 of 'Real Housewives of Orange County' you would have noticed how things have been rocky between Braunwyn Windham Burke and Shannon Beador. The two housewives seemed to be at each others' throats.

It all began with Braunwyn accusing Shannon of calling their fellow housewife, Gina Kirschenheiter's, home "sad and depressing"; the latter housewife has repeatedly denied the allegations. 

Things just kept escalating between the ladies through the course of the season. Shannon and Braunwyn once again got into a huge argument during the finale when Shannon learned that Braunwyn was going around telling people that she instigated the housewife to investigate Elizabeth Lyn Vargas's background and financials. Needless to say, we were all prepared to see a showdown between these two housewives during the reunion.

But turns out things that were revealed by Shannon about Braunwyn left all the housewives shellshocked. In the preview clip released earlier for the reunion, we see Braunwyn crying and apologizing repeatedly. Sadly, we don't have much idea on what upset the housewife so much, until All About Tea shared some shocking details about the story behind Braunwyn's breakdown.

According to reports, Shannon reportedly confronts Braunwyn for offering cocaine to her daughter, Stella, when she only 14 years old! Braunwyn reportedly offered the teenager not only cocaine but also her dealer's number, who according to the housewife was the "best in the area". Luckily, Stella was smart enough to turn down the housewife's offer, but Shannon is beyond furious at her co-star for behaving so outrageously. A source revealed to the website some details of what to expect from the showdown between Braunwyn and Shannon.



 

The insider revealed, "Braunwyn approached Shannon Beador’s daughter, Stella, and offered her cocaine and asked if she wanted her dealer’s number. Braunwyn told the 14-year old at the time that if she needs coke, she has the best drug dealer in the area. "This is the shocking event that happens at the Season 15 reunion that leaves everyone’s jaws on the floor and Braunwyn crying and saying, "I am so sorry….I am so sorry," added the source. 

The source also shared that Shannon's former husband, David Beador, wasn't aware of the incident. Ever since the news of the housewife offering cocaine to a teenager broke out, Braunwyn has been plagued by fans asking her if the rumors were true. According to a screenshot posted by Best of Bravo on Instagram, we see a small exchange between a fan and the housewife.

The fan wrote, "Please tell me Shannon is lying about her child. I haven’t really been watching the show because I hate Kelly. You are one of my favorites! Please tell me Shannon is full of it about drugs and her child." Braunwyn responded to the comment blaming everything on her drinking. She replied, "I honestly have no idea, I was drinking at the time."

If Braunwyn really offered the teenager drugs, she should take responsibility for her ill-informed actions and come clean, instead of blaming her drinking habits. Hopefully, we will get more answers after watching the reunion. 

'Real Housewives of Orange County' Season 15 airs every Wednesday at 9/8c only on Bravo.
