Reality TV personality Shannon Beador, known for her role in “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” is facing three misdemeanor charges following her arrest last month in connection with a car accident. The Orange County District Attorney has charged the 59-year-old star with driving under the influence of alcohol, driving under the influence with a blood alcohol content of .08% or more, and hit-and-run with property damage, as revealed in court records obtained by Fox News Digital.
Reports indicate that Beador’s blood alcohol content at the time of her arrest exceeded .20%. The arrest took place on September 17 after she allegedly drove under the influence during a hit-and-run incident in Newport Beach, California.
Upon the charges, Beador’s legal representative conveyed her remorse and apologized, stating that she is prepared to accept full responsibility for her actions. A friend of Beador, Jeff Lewis, discussed the situation on his SiriusXM show “Jeff Lewis Live.” Lewis shared that Beador had called him and expressed shock over the DUI arrest, emphasizing that he had never known her to drink and drive. Lewis denied claims of Beador being an alcoholic but acknowledged her personal struggles, confirming her intention to seek professional help.
In response to the incident, Beador broke her silence a month later, posting a video on Instagram on October 17. While walking her dog, she mentioned that she is not currently in a position to comment on the situation but intends to be open, honest, and authentic when the time is right. Beador emphasized her focus on getting healthy and returning to her normal self.
Fox News Digital reached out to Beador’s representatives for comment, and the legal proceedings will unfold as Beador faces the charges related to the car accident and DUI arrest. The reality TV star’s future in the public eye and the consequences of the legal actions will be closely watched by fans and the media.
