Shannon Beador feels 'ashamed' after DUI arrest

Following her DUI arrest, the 'Flipping Out' reality star Jeff Lewis revealed that his close friend Beador has decided to seek treatment following her DUI arrest.

"I am happy to say that she is gonna be entering counseling this week, so I’m happy about that," Lewis stated on his 'SiriusXM' show 'Jeff Lewis Live' on Monday, September 18.

"I don’t think Shannon is an alcoholic. I think as her close friend, I think she’s going through a lot of personal struggles right now, and I think that she probably has been leaning on alcohol, but I don’t believe she’s an alcoholic," he added.

In July, Page Six broke the news that a “wasted” Beador had to be “removed” from a California bar after getting into a screaming match with Janssen’s daughter.

Gina Kirschenheiter addressed Beador's alleged drinking problem during a recent episode of 'RHOC' as she suggested the reality star needed professional help.

"Shannon says s**t, and then she wants to pretend that she didn’t do it, and if you can say things that are that f*****g hurtful and not even remember you said it, you need to go f*****g check yourself into rehab,” said Kirschenheiter who stopped drinking alcohol after her DUI arrest in 2019.
