Shannon Beador had a meltdown after she learned her friends were all talking about her relationship with her boyfriend John Janssen on Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives Of Orange County.
The 59-year-old reality star flipped out during the season 17 episode titled A Doppelgänger Disaster that featured the women dressing up as each other at a party.
‘You owe my boyfriend a huge f***ing apology!’ Shannon screamed while dressed up in wig and outfit as Gina Kirschenheiter, 39.
‘Your boyfriend owes you a thousand apologies apparently from what everybody else is saying,’ Gina said. ‘They are concerned about you, that’s all.’
‘Nobody here knows anything about my relationship!,’ Shannon yelled. ‘I have never been more in love, and I’ve never hurt more when we’ve not been in a good spot.’

‘We’re all concerned,’ Emily Simpson, 47, said.
‘You f***ing kidding me,’ Shannon said in a confessional. ‘Am I getting f***ing ambushed here? These girls are exaggerating. It’s like a rat feeding frenzy.’
Shannon stormed out of the doppelgänger party, where each cast member dressed like another.
‘You guys enjoy having conversations about me, you don’t know,’ Shannon said. ‘I’m f***ing out.’
Emily tried to stop her.
‘This is my life,’ Shannon said.
‘Calm down,’ Emily said.
Heather Dubrow, 54, denied she had been the only one talking about Shannon’s relationship.

‘Everyone has talked about Shannon’s relationship for years,’ Heather said.
Shannon told Emily that she hadn’t told her anything recent about John. Emily reminded her that she said a lot of things about her relationship to her just two months ago. Shannon said she didn’t remember what she had said.
‘From what she has told me, I don’t feel like he’s invested in their relationship and I feel like she is wasting her time and I feel like she can do better,’ Emily said in a confessional.
‘Shannon pays for everything,’ Heather said in a confessional. ‘The family dynamic isn’t great. He’s never slept over. And his son lives with him, so she doesn’t go over there.’
Shannon started to have a breakdown.
‘I don’t know how I’m going to talk to him about this tomorrow because it’s our private business!’ Shannon said.
‘It hurts me that you don’t share things,’ Emily said.
‘My relationship with John is good!’ Shannon said. ‘Except when we get into an argument. And people get into arguments. It’s f***ing natural.’

Shannon said she was leaving.
‘Don’t make me look irrational,’ Shannon said.
‘I would be there for you Shannon!’ Emily said. ‘I would be your f***ing friend! Whatever you want to tell me. How bad it is.’
‘It’s not that bad!’ Shannon screamed. ‘I have arguments.’
Heather walked up to Shannon and said she wanted to make sure she was okay.
‘I’m not,’ Shannon said. ‘What’s going on with your marriage?’
‘I hear that there is stuff going on the internet right now about yours,’ Shannon said. ‘Is it deflection?’
‘No, it’s not,’ Heather said.

Shannon said she didn’t have affairs in her relationship, only that they had arguments that ‘paralyzed’ her. Shannon walked out and screamed at the camera to stop following her as she broke the fourth wall again.
‘Stop, I’m not a crazy person,’ Shannon said.
Shannon then went up to the production crew and said she had only called Emily and Gina one time in 2020 and had never called them since.
‘This is my life,’ Shannon said.
Shannon said she didn’t know how she would tell her boyfriend that everyone was talking about them and making judgments.
Heather, Emily and Gina all admitted they had talked about Shannon’s relationship but wondered why she was so defensive.
‘He’s going to f***ing leave her if she talks about this sh**,’ Emily said. ‘She’s scared.’
‘Then f*** him,’ Gina said.

‘I can walk around being all snooty,’ Tamra, 55, said.
Gina met Heather at a garden store where they discussed the Doppelgänger party. Gina didn’t understand why Jenn Pedranti, 45, was hosting the party with Tamra.
Jenn met her college friend Taylor to discuss her relationship with Ryan, who had said he wanted to get married within the year. Jenn said she was starting to question her relationship after Tamra voiced concerns. Jenn said she just wanted to do it right. She said in a confessional that she was still going through a complicated divorce with her estranged husband Will.
‘I worry about the second the rings go on and Ryan feels trapped,’ Jenn said. ‘And I am not going to be part of a second failed marriage.’
Vicki Gunvalson, 61, showed up at Shannon’s house for the party as herself. Shannon, who got dressed as Gina, said she wasn’t in a good place with Heather.
‘I don’t need everyone chiming in for a relationship that I’ve had for 3 and 1/2 friction’ years,’ Shannon said.

‘I’m not surprised that Shannon has chosen a version of me that was me when I was at my worst,’ Gina said in a confessional.
Vicki walked in pushing a keg and carrying a bottle of tequila and screamed ‘where’s the party!’ Vicki then did a keg stand. The group then sat down to play a game. Taylor got a card that told her she had to lick Emily’s nipple.
‘When I heard game night I thought Monopoly and Twister,’ Emily said in a confessional. ‘I did not envision my nipples getting licked, but you know what? I’m not mad about it.’
Shannon confronted Heather at the party and said said she heard that she had told people that her relationship with John was bad. Heather denied it.
‘I have not told any of these girls your story,’ Heather said.
‘I think Shannon is way too concerned with who is talking about her relationship then being concerned about her actual relationship,’ Heather said in a confessional.
Shannon worried about things getting back to John and said when she fights with John it’s devastating to her .
‘I have never cared about a person more in my life,’ Shannon said in a confessional.
