RHOC’s Shannon Beador Says She is Choosing to Find ‘Humor’ in the John Janssen Fiasco; Deets Inside

As a lifestyle expert with years of observing reality TV, I must say that the dynamic between Shannon Beador and her ex, John Janssen, is a fascinating study in the complexities of relationships – both personal and professional.


Shannon Beador enjoys a laugh when she’s with her ex-husband, John Janssen, thanks to her fellow Housewife, Alexis Bellino. Alexis, who was previously on the show from seasons 5 to 8 and has now returned for season 18 alongside her new partner, John.

In the ninth season, Shannon got acquainted with Alexis and John following a popular photo of them spreading online. This happened shortly after Shannon and John had permanently parted ways, although earlier they had maintained that they were merely friends. Shannon openly admitted that their relationship was problematic but chose to keep its difficulties private instead.

After Shannon Beador’s DUI arrest in September 2023, everything took a turn for the worse. Ten days later, John Janssen ended their relationship following her car accident where she crashed into a building. Shannon admitted guilt and is currently serving three years probation. According to her, John said, “It’s over. You’ve damaged not just my life but also that of my family by making it so public.” Aware that the relationship had run its course, Shannon accepted the separation.

It came as a surprise to Shannon when John started dating another well-known personality, who made an appearance at BravoCon in Las Vegas. This could potentially mean that Alexis Bellino might rejoin the cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County on their reality TV series.

Shannon Beador grew apprehensive upon viewing a picture featuring Alexis and John, yet she didn’t express her suspicions until just before shooting in January. To put it simply, she wasn’t pleased with the situation.

In the opening episode, I found myself right in the thick of a heated dispute between Shannon and Alexis. The subject at hand? Good ol’ John and a lawsuit from Alexis’ ex-husband, Jim Bellino, which Shannon claims set her back an astounding $300K. Now here’s where things get juicy – Shannon thinks Alexis had something to do with this lawsuit, but Alexis vehemently denies it. As a fan who can’t get enough of this drama, I can hardly wait to see how this unfolds!

Shannon and John are currently embroiled in a legal dispute, with John suing her for $75,000. He argues that the money was a loan for a facelift and additional expenses, not a gift as Shannon claims. However, Shannon insists it was a generous gift, made without any repayment agreement. She has offered to pay the full amount due to anticipated legal costs, but John has refused unless she signs a non-disparagement contract. Recently, John has also added fraud charges, claiming that Shannon knowingly took his money.

In a puzzling turn of events, Shannon suspects that there’s some connection between Alexis and the men who are suing her, which only serves to deepen the mistrust. In response, Alexis has stood up for John, claiming that Shannon is fabricating lies about him and misrepresenting his true nature. However, Shannon, who previously portrayed John as a “monster” on the show, now claims that her comment was misunderstood or misconstrued.

Shannon Beador describes John as a monster now, given their persistent legal problems, but it’s important to note that this viewpoint stems from their recent troubles, not their past together. She thinks Alexis, who intends to marry John shortly, may not have fully understood the highs and lows of Shannon’s four-year relationship with him.

Shannon shared that she took care of the majority of costs during the initial phase of her relationship with John. She understands that all relationships come with ups and downs. Nevertheless, she held a strong affection for John and aspired to revisit the joyous moments they once shared together.
