I’m so over today. But apparently here we go with more child abuse from Shannon and David Beador.I already know I can’t transcribe this shit show. I can only react.
This is the shittiest thing Andy has ever done. And definitely the shittiest thing these parents have done to their kids.
Andy asked why the fuck they would do this and David says that it is because of social media (that’s us) and how people said she deserved to be cheated on… (um, she’s certainly shown herself to be an emasculating bitch this season and this is coming from one of her biggest supporters last year). Apparently, all the backlash has come on Shannon, because she is being a fucking bitch! David says it is wrong that everyone sides with him. No, no it is not.
Shannon says the affair started the day after the first day of the show. David is begging for his Father in law to forgive him essentially.
I can’t believe how much I hate Shannon now. I loved her last season. So emasculating. If you are trying to reconcile with your husband this is the opposite of what you do. If you have a daddy who owns 51% of your husband’s company allegedly, this is how you put his balls in a vise on national TV. This is pathetic Shannon. It makes you look way more pathetic and it makes your kids look bad.
David wanted to move on with the other woman. Shannon called her husband and the other woman claimed she was obsessed with David. Shannon is such a cunt. I mean I get being pissed that your husband cheated on you. But you have CHILDREN and why are we airing the details on TV.
I hate these people it is so obvious she has Daddy’s money and he is SO FUCKED. He could not get out if he tried. He’s a prisoner.
Heather knew about the affair and never said anything. So that makes Heather a saint. Shannon keeps antagonizing David.
They talk about how the Daily Mail revealing her identity. Andy is like whoever could have revealed info to the highest paying website? Um that would of course be the person with the biggest reason to do so. David defends his mistress.
Andy points out that Shannon was obsessed by making David list the restaurant he went to with the mistress. I’ll just say I was the mistress and I could not go anywhere without my man that I went to before including my job, my grocery stores, our restaurants, our movie theaters ANYTHING and she knew we were dating. I could not bear to leave the house because everything reminded me of him. He was here every day. His wife knew it we eventually met. She was use to him dating. He was at my family holidays. He was pissed when I answered the question of when we would marry with, “he would have to divorce his wife first” I never hid it. She was fine with it and he spent all his time with me. He came to my job, he funded our Fat Fridays at the teacher’s breakfast. I fell ill once and he came and took all of the things I made over..I get having a relationship with a married man.
I never went anywhere without him and we hid from no one. I went on business trips with him. A lot. So when we broke up, I couldn’t go anywhere. He literally went everywhere with me. I was fully supported. He would do business deals in my house. We ate together every day at least once. So going to the grocery store, movies, pubs alone was very sad. We had literally been everywhere I wanted to go together. So I do get her asking about that stuff.
Sorry TMI.
David denies having sex with the mistress after having had sex Shannon.
Andy points out that we don’t want to hear about this shit anymore.
So Shannon gives more detail because she is the only person this has ever happened to and she want to let u know that David is a shit . So she shares that he gave her wedding ring to a kid to give to her. Shannon says she wore the wedding ring on a talking head.
Andy says that was a dick move by David. Andy keeps going after David. FOLLOW THE MONEY. I think Shannon’s daddy bout the interview.
Shannon’s daddy is fully capable of buying Andy off. Enough to make David and Shannon show up and say they are committed .
I don’t believe anything other than Shannon’s SUPER RICH DADDY WHO OWNS DAVID made this somehow happen.
Those poor fucked up little girls.(Allegedly in MY OPINON, Don’t sue me Shannon’s dad am flat broke)
Last season my favourite was Shannon, how times have changed. If she can humiliate her family like this, then you can’t put anything past her.
Poor kids.
Micheal: I think we are all hoping this was the last stop of Beador’s Tour De Shame… Unfortunately, I forsee Shannon going onto write a book, speak at couple’s retreats, etc. Just admit you are doing this all for yourself, Shannon. Don’t bring us viewers into it or your kids. From your experience, I see how miserachi it is to stay together, especially if you’re financially capable of having a fabulous life alone/ with someone new!
Like Jeru the Damaja said, “You’re a player but only because you be playing yourself… With all that rah rah rah, youre playing yaself.”
I’m so sick of hearing that she’s doing this to show because, “we thought that we would tell our story with the hope that other couples who have faced similar heartbreak can repair and restore their marriage like David and I are doing.”. Bullshit, Bullshit, Bullshit. It’s the Shannon show and this is the cross country tour to humiliate and emasculate David-which by the way, will do wonders for their marriage.
Shannon’s a poor little rich girl who’s probably never had a problem more serious then a broken nail. I think therapy is a wonderful thing but within 5 years her children will be sitting on the sofa with daddy issues and bemoaning their parents selfishness. The other women pegged her the first season-she’s a hysteric with a drinking problem.
Slice: their parenting is a joke. Remember when they t.p.’ed someone’s house and “got in trouble”? It looked like they had never been disciplined in their lives. They were so flippant and had zero respect for Shannon and David- even telling their parents when the tall was over. They seem to be mini versions of Lynne Curtain’s daughters.
Shannon was my favorite last season too. I am so disappointed, but the #1 thing I have learned from watching these shows is I’m either a terrible judge of character, or people can change their personalities drastically and quickly (I’m leaning toward the former). This whole season has been painful to watch but the affair storyline and faking cancer storyline have been too much to bear. I am fast forwarding through at least half the scenes now, and I used to watch each episode at least twice. I’m so glad it’s almost over. I don’t understand how Shannon can do this to her daughters.
I was surprised at how much Shannon physically resembles the mistress, according to internet photos. This was really difficult to watch… felt fake.
Wow.
I’m curious who’s Shannon’s Dad is,and what he does. I’m a little weirded out by Shannon airing all of this on tv, but on the other hand, she’s exactly the type of women I watch these shows for. She’s a real housewife, with money, marital problems, and children. Plus she’s a little out there, and I find it entertaining. Please don’t hate me TT.
I don’t know anything about her father, but she mentioned growing up in Rancho Santa Fe. That’s big money – think huge gates and lots of horses.
ADMIN EDIT: PLEASSE READ THE COMMENTING RULES!!!
I agree JanM, I understand oil money, land money, tech money and the equity in ones ancestory name, due to growing up in Texas (and basically a huge part of the world feels the same about their home). …. But to totally give up and surrender when it comes to giving up ones pride. I don’t understand! WHY would they air their dirty laundry ESPECIALLY if there is not a balloon note due! Not to mentiont they have kids and family. Why embarrass and KEEP your spouse and then try to parent together?
I can’t say I understand her agenda at all. She acts like her situation is unique. It is not, except that she didn’t have to be concerned that her financial life would completely change. Her rich father would see to that. I never got to know where my husband of 25 years took his gf of 1 year. If I want to go someplace that I have memories of being there with him, I won’t let it stop me from going. If he took her there, I think it is best that I don’t know. Who needs to torment themself, Shannon, of course.
I liked her last season and stuck up for her. She seems to want to build a career on this topic. There is not one thing either one can say that makes beating this subject to death on tv correct. David should get a divorce.
It’s a doomed marriage with a reluctant husband who wants to be just about anywhere else than with the wife he’s stuck with. She is a fool. There is no love there…none at all….just revenge and that, in my opinion is the opposite of love.
Merilyn Zallan Ulrich, I guess it is revenge on her part. What I see in David is apathy. I think the opposite of love is apathy not hate. Hate requires feeling as does love and there is a thin line between love and hate. With apathy there is no feeling and that’s what I see coming from him. The only reason he tries at all is Daddy Warbucks pulling the purse strings. If that wasn’t the case he’d be outta there like a shot. What I don’t understand is why she she wants to save this marriage so badly other than to make him suffer. Anyone can see that he would rather be anywhere but with her. It wouldn’t be worth it to me to live with a man that I knew didn’t want to be with me and the only reason he was there was because he was being forced. He’ll cheat again, he’ll just be better at it the next time. My mother always said “You can’t stop someone from cheating. You might be able to slow them down for a while but if they want to, they’ll find a way.”. I believe she is right.
This is meant to reply to Merilyn and hannahrose below;
To me, Love is caring more for the happinessof someone else than you do yourself. I don’t see any of that in her actions- all I see is ego and pride and a need to get him back for what she thinks he did to her publicly. But she has it all reversed- she made his affair public, she continues to expound on it- clearly, this taping was about Shannon not liking the feedback on social media that found her to be a harpy. She somehow wants him to be blamed , and her to be the wounded victim. We all don’t see it that way.
He seems caught- his career hinges on his father n law’s money- should have thought of that before accepting the job, David- or if the marriage is that unacceptable go get another job. It may not have all the fringe benefits but might give you some integrity/sense of self. You don’t seem to have any now.
It appears to me that Shannon joined the show thinking she was part of the illustrious few whose Daddy gave her a bountiful early life, which she wanted to show off to the TV world. Bet Bravo loved this couple on first meeting- their problems are so obvious- and then her ego was destroyed on finding that all truths became visible- and their very weak relationship came undone quickly. She has had life as she wanted it til now, and thought if she said it enough she could save the relationship and her ego – too bad she has to learn otherwise.
Most compelling to me is how thoughtless and selfish her action have been toward the children. That is the part that is just unacceptable.
I didn’t mean to press comment yet. I would hope David would get a divorce without another woman even being in his mind. Do it because Shannon is a crappy partner. He did wrong, but Shannon has turned into a lunatic bitch.
I didn’t understand her wanting all the details of the affair like where he took her to eat. Like you said just more torment. I have to think the less details she knows the less she’ll have to drive her self crazy with. I don’t know. I can’t say from experience so my opinion might be off.
As someone who has been on the receiving end of cheating, I wanted to know. Maybe not everyone does, but my imagination was far worse than any of the details I was asking about and in hindsight it did me good to at least know the depth of the damage- if my ex was honest about nothing else, he seemed to have no issue being bluntly honest about who and what went on once the cat was finally out of the bag, and no we did not stay together.
You never really know how you’ll feel and process it until it happens to you. That’s why I give shannon leeway,David brought this upon his family, not her. He put her in the situation of either leaving her marriage and breaking up her family or going through hell trying to repair it. His kids found out because of him leaving nasty text messages on his phone, not because she told them or aired it out.
I do think doing this show was a bit much. We didn’t need a whole special on the mess. I don’t blame them for it being their storyline on the show because it would be pretty damn hard for it not to be, or for her to hide what she was going through. God knows I was a disaster and I didn’t have children or a marriage of over a decade ending. I have compassion for her and her kids, and even for David because good people make seriously bad choices sometimes and they are not easy to live with. I hope they come to a place where they and the family are happy, I just think they should tone down the spotlight.
Ditto, Shae. When I was cheated on (a fiance thank god, not a husband), we eventually reconciled short term. Yea, not smart. Anyway, I didn’t want to go anyplace he took her, and it was so much easier to relax and try to have a good time without wondering about it. I’m not going to judge Shannon too much, because I haven’t been in her shoes. Seems like she should be able to forgive him on her timetable, not anyone else’s.My only gripe is the degree to which they have exposed details to their children. Significantly TMI.
Thanks for this, TT, and for the TMI. No judgement here, that’s for sure.
Shannon did two broadcasts tonight on Facebook, one before and one after the airing of WWHL. I watched the first one. She was asking why people thought she was a bad friend to Vicki, and went on to explain how she’s always had Vicki’s back. She wanted her fans to ask real questions and not “sugar coat it”. However, she didn’t answer any direct questions except the vanilla ones. I told her she did come off as a bad friend.
She seems like a “right fighter”. She is not going to shut up about David’s infidelity or Vicki being fed up with her, until she hears enough people agree with her. She keeps bring it up on every possible forum. She is unstable! For all her treatments, potions, dangling sparkly prisms, lemons, and, therapists, she is one f’d up woman. She is certainly not the person I thought she was.
Thanks for the recap, TT. I remember trying to watch the first show of last season where Shannon was having a dinner party. She was in her kitchen, cutting steak, and screaming at David. Everyone could hear her in the dining room and they all looked embarrassed. I couldn’t watch after that, was just too painful. I wish I had skipped this season too. Shannon is horrible. They both are. Their girls will find vengeance–sadly.
Yep. Some of us thought Shannon was a bitch last year… She hasn’t changed, but the allure of something new has worn off.
Exactly, She was very hard on David from her first minute on camera last season and if her reason now is that this was going on, I get it- but then don’t join the show. Her children are bound to be burdened with this for life and have severe issues about trusting men. Why continue for another season and make it all public knowledge? Only to get back at him – and I her min, redeem herself s the crusading mistreated woman. I have yet to see a single instance where a woman who had been mistreated came out ahead after “exposing” the evil loved on did to her. They always end up looking lost, with deep wounds that are likely unremediable.
I also felt Shannon was an angry lost lady from the beginning- with a need to be right and to be heard. Nothing has changed my mind about that. David has put himself into quite a pickle since Dad owns the firm. Obviously his money was attractive when they got married.
I was quite surprised at the amount of time spent last night on the colonic and missing plastic- really was wondering if Bravo wasn’t having fun at her expense, as I have thought they did many times as she expounded on her Eastern religious beliefs and crystals. Shannon tries way too hard to be so current and edgy- and comes across as just angry and sadly ill.
If David stays for the money, then he’s just as bad as Shannon. Gold-digger is a word that comes to mind. I feel bad for David, but he’s a creep too. Let’s just hope she doesn’t beat him.
You know, I thought they had a dead relationship the first season. You could tell he wasn’t into her, or wasn’t interested in her blabbering on and on about nothing. She comes across as tired, and not the least bit sexual or alluring. He’s staying right now because he’s not sure what to do. But you can’t fake love forever. It’s not going to hold-especially with her smashing all the life out of him. She didn’t change due to this affair. And she should have realized that there may have been a reason for straying. Boredom and disgust.
He’s staying because he loves those little girls. You can tell that he’s just not into Shannon. He’s done with her.
When those girls are grown, he will leave
I feel so badly for their children. I can only I imagine what their classmates think and say about them. Kids at that age are very judgemental. And David is like a zombie. I know they think they’re helping to show people going through the same thing that you can work through it and stay together. But in my opinion it’s probably making men not want to stay and work it out because they’ll be emasculated on a daily basis. What David did was wrong. Complete betrayal and I understand Shannon being hurt and humiliated. But work that out in therapy and between yourselves. Why humiliate your spouse and yourself on national television? Too much
??? Agree completely.
Shannon’s girls have surely said something to Shannon and I can hear her blaming David.
Shannon looks so pleased with herself while being unaware of the damage she has done to her family.
Calipatti, TT and friends: isn’t it interesting how Shannon blames David for using the kids as a pawn with the ring, for them reading his texts to find out about the affair, etc.. but when you see the fam together, the girls are very affectionate with David- hugging him, hanging on him, smiling ear-to-ear when conversing with him… I don’t see any closeness between Shannon and David or Shannon and the kids. Makes you wonder who is keeping the family “together” and who keeps tearing it apart. (Hint: not David and not David’s affair.)
I suggest next time life hands Shannon a lemon she sticks 9 up her ass.
“I suggest next time life hands Shannon a lemon she sticks 9 up her ass.” Haha!! 🙂
One in her mouth and 8 up her ass!
That’s how she lost the three inch tip to her do it yourself at home colonic. Making room. What’s worse admitting you lost it or admitting to wasting an hour looking all up in there?
The Beader girls must be completely humiliated by Shannon making everything so public.
Shannon will say it was David not her.
I feel embarrassed for the girls.
Horrible woman.
You just know Shannon is going to blame David for her loss of fans. Sheesh.
I’m all for making a marriage work, unless there’s abuse. Shannon’s verbally and emotionally abusive. Their girls are already disrespectful. What an example for their future relationships.
Correction, you said “Shannon called her husband and the other woman claimed she was obsessed with David. ” I was under the impression that the Other Woman claimed that DAVID WAS OBSESSED WITH HER, not the other way around.
And David in the interview using the term it happened, sort of like you would refer to a car that ran a stop sign and hit you, or you stepped in a puddle. Uhm , no, that’s not the way affairs “happen” David.
Last season Shannon was begging David to like her and this season David is begging Shannon to forgive him. Both of them are idiots who deserve each other…it’s just too bad that they have children.
I have no sympathy for either Shannon or David. Putting their children through this, for whatever reason, on national TV is unforgivable. Either man up, David, and tell daddy in law no amount of money in the world is worth humiliating your children,.or woman up, Shannon, and either leave him or forgive him, but do it in the privacy of your own lives and not for everyone to see and torment your children over. These are two very, very selfish people.
Could the father be “blackmailing” David to stay for the sake of the children? It seems the father pretty much turned his daughter into a spoiled brat and David pretty much made a deal with the devil. David realizes he made the mistake of his life marrying Shannon (very possibly for the money/construction business/) but can not figure out how to “get out”. I am sure he NEVER wanted to be on this housewives show. Shannon is dangerous: conniving, manipulative and vengeful!!
David looks ill. He has looked unwell all season.
So basically he did not want to come back and Shannon forced him to…why would you want this for yourself? It seem like David did everything in his power to end this relationship with Shannon, handing the ring to his kid (horribly awful), leaving, the prior email about wanting to move out…she wasn’t letting go. I found it odd that she would want this woman’s husband to know about a book for kids on divorce…did she decide that this woman’s husband should divorce her?? Just strange. I also wouldn’t put it pass Shannon to want to go to an event she knew this woman was at. She needs help.
David is a small, grey little man with dead eyes. He has no expression, no life and a flat, whiney little voice. His balls have shriveled into Lima beans.
Other than that he is really attractive.
#yesdear
He’s very attractive.
I doubt this was his first affair. He checked out of his marriage a long time ago. He just doesn’t know how to get out. Can you imagine telling your wife all of the gory details even going so far as to say he was in love and felt alive again? That he went to be with this woman on Shannon’s birthday? I’m sorry, but I just couldn’t imagine ever being touched by that man again
How could she want him to stay?
See I totally think this was his first affair. Usually, spouses who have multiple affairs know how to play the other spouse. He looks like a deer caught in headlights. Always.
Isn’t there some kind of saying that a couple who have fun together or laugh together stay together, or something like that? I think there is a lot of truth in that, and this couple are dead miserable in each other’s company. I literally groaned when they went to that restaurant and the very first thing David suggested – Shannon moaned about the fat, blah blah blah. Men LIKE women who enjoy their food!
Gab: most humans don’t like complainers! My sister is very picky and she will eat 50% before going to a party and always preview the menu so she can’t pre-eat 75% if nothing looks good- that way she can say she ate too big of a lunch and will just have x and x.
I cant even watch this, and I watch Everything RHW, just wrong on so many levels.
I agree, I was cringing with every word that came out of their mouths. What a pair, they deserve each other. Speaking of pairs, what happened to his?
She is NUTS
Shannon is completely revolting. The sympathy I may have felt for her last season has completely evaporated and now I just wish she would shut the hell up. I am disgusted that she has inflicted this very real damage on her daughter’s as a result of her claim to fame.
And don’t get me started on her narcissistic need to know everything about Brook’s alleged cancer diagnosis. True or not; this broad does not understand that it is none of her business. None.
Ugh I couldn’t even watch the whole thing, it was sickening & David is a prisoner in his own home. Affair or not, he is miserable & it is so sad.
I watched. When David was defending his mistress, I thought, why is he defending her? Then I answered my own question with: because he still loves her. I don’t like Shannon at all this season, admittedly, mostly because she’s friends’ with Tamra, so a good judge of character she’s not. David is clearly not over his mistress. They are both miserable and deserve each other.
As much as a bitch Heather can be, I get why now she threw Shannon out of her home last season. She knew about the affair, and she was probably trying to diffuse the situation. Still a bitch move, but Heather shows she does have “some” class by not throwing the affair in her face.
I agree with you Billie that he’s still in love with her. I also think that played a role in him obviously not putting a stop to the mistress befriending Shannon and if articles are to be belived moving her daughter into the same basketball program that Shannon’s daughter was in and David was coaching. Really? Cheating is one thing…lettting your mistress get buddy/buddy with your wife (who they didn’t know each other before). I don’t know what’s more pathological…that or the mistress that wanted to and did that. Talk about violating ‘girl code.’ On a side note…that woman’s business is located in a building I well…spend some time in (and it’s not that big a building). Out of general curiosity I’ll be a bit more observant.
I think David wanted to get caught and that then Shannon would dump him so that he wouldn’t have to be the one to grow a pair and say this isn’t working and let her be the bad guy.
And re: David wanting to get caught and getting dumped…. To quote Dr Phil…..So how’s that working for ya?
I have had many times when watching WWHL that were cringe worthy. Last night was the very very worst for me. I LOVED Shannon last season, all this season I catch tiny glimpses of her now and then but all in all DONE. I don’t like what she has done with Brooks and Vicki. Even if she has doubts she shouldn’t be feeding into the mouth of the beast (namely Meghan) with her exaggerated phony concern. I 100% hate that both she and David have made their children the pawns in their ugly little marriage chess game. I think they BOTH are damaged people and I don’t feel sorry for either one of them. I think those children need to be attended to because we have to baby Kim Richards ready to be unleashed. I don’t want to be judgmental but damn they make it hard. They put it out there and it is SAD SAD SAD. I think this year was the end of the O.C. for me, going the way of Atlanta and N.J. I must say though have a little more respect for Heather keeping things under wrap. It explains some of the source of friction last year. This was bad though. Andy Cohen is NG as my Nanny used to say (no good). I just wanted to slap him last night. UGH
two baby Kim Richards.
Shannon so reminds me of the movie, Gone Girl. Who knows what lengths she would go to exact her revenge? “They” say that 99% or more of men who have affairs want to stay with the wife (unless the wife is the one who kicks the guys out). They rarely, if ever, leave the wife for the mistress (and it has nothing to do with the desirability or undesirability of the mistress). Let’s hope David is one of the 1%.
Never liked Shannon much last season and this WWHL reinforces my dislike. Her poor girls.
I might be naive but I don’t think Heather knew about the affair before Shannon did. I think she meant she knew about it before Shannon told her about it. Considering the way Shannon has been punishing David on-screen, I imagine most of the OC got the live version for months before the cameras turned on.
I found it creepy how she would turn to stare at David when Andy asked him a question. She was probably squeezing his fingers also.
Shannon said on WWHL that her behavior last year towards David was because she had realized that something was wrong, that something was going on. I would like to give her the benefit of the doubt and believe her. I didn’t really care for her last year. I’m not sure why I’m giving her a bit of a break this year. Maybe it’s because I feel sorry for any one who is cheated on by their spouse. Yet exposing her children to all of this mess is just so distasteful. Shame on BOTH of them.
So disappointed in Shannon this season bc Vicki was her only friend last season, and saved Shannon from being mentally obliterated by Heather and Tamra. Doesn’t Shannon remember? Also, given what a wiener chopper she is, is it any wonder that David is afraid to open up to her? This is sad for the girls who are nice young ladies. Shannon needs to trade in her therapist for some sessions on gratitude and compassion, imo. I used to like Shannon a lot. We know about the Bravo divorces, suicide, relapses, etc. But what about the children??? What about what these shows are doing to the children? I think Andy has lost more than his way.
For Holloween David is going to be a Zombie.
Problem is…when he puts his costume on no one will notice a difference.
Shannon kept saying she had spoken with the mistress’ husband and offered him a book? I’m curious if he was OK with the affair because it sounded like that couple also was still together at that event the Beadors ran ino the mistress last at?
I am so glad to see that others have seen through this spoiled bitch. The number of times that she has clearly set up Kelly? Please, the 70s party, then Kelly was on WWHL with Jennie from Flipped Out and Jennie blind sided her the whole show and then admitted what good friends she is with Shannon. Then Shannon decided to get Kelly drunk at the dinner in Ireland with her now appearantly bbf Heather. You do remember the first season Shannon was on and having. “phsychotic break” which Kelly isnow evidently having. I am actually pretty much over the whole I have enough time in my life because I am rich enough to act like a middle school bully. I guess it used to hold some level of entertainment but now it looks scripted and bullyish. I just hope that in the end these people all get what karma they have comming…
