Shannon Beador has responded to David’s request to the court that he filed recently. On Wednesday, December 19th, Shannon filed the following response, “There was no legitimate reason for the Respondent to file a custody related Request for Order because all issues including child custody are already set for trial on April 22, 2019.”
Furthermore, “I am informed and believe, based on his communication with me, (and sometimes his refusal to communicate) that the respondent is deeply angry with me and was looking to hurt and embarrass me. His Request for Order was apparently designed to attract media attention and assert control.” This is exactly what you guys said in the comments section for the post about David’s request.
Shannon’s statement continued, “The term to which respondent refers (and mis-characterizes) “self-medicate” was used during frank conversations about the breakdown of our marriage and the issues precipitating it; the conversation was filmed for the television show of which I have been a cast member for five years. At no time did I use the term “self-medicating” or say I was abusing alcohol.” On the reunion everyone one admitted to self-medicating with alcohol from time to time. Except for Shannon.
Finally she admits some of her struggles and poor choices and points out that David doesn’t take accountability for anything, “Respondent is basing his request on a moment of a TV show that has been edited for entertainment purposes. In real life, I have been making a handful of poor choices over the last year-and-a-half, but I have taken responsibility for my mistakes and admitted to them with our children, their therapist and my therapist. The same cannot be said about the Respondent’s accountability.”
I believe that I read somewhere that the judge did set a date in January to address David’s request. Do you think the judge will grant David’s motion?
I feel for Shannon, I really do. I think David has brought her to the edge and then pushed her over and for that I’m truly sad for her. When she’s at her best, she’s amazing and is definitely the goofball I’d want in my corner. I hope her and David can come to some sort of resolve because right now this shit is nasty!
Someone wise once said: “You have to love your children more than you hate your ex.”
You always cheer me up with your balanced view on the world. In 2019 I’m a try be more like you lol
Aww you’re too kind to me. I appreciate the compliment. I always try to be fair and come from a place of understanding and optimism. I really do! But when I’m not fair or kind, I’m vicious. I guess I’m like a Gorga. No in between! haha
Judge Judy says it all of the time
Oh Judge Judy is a BOSS LADY! Really inspirational. If I’m not mistaken, I think she had a book out that was really exceptional.
I hope Shannon has a good gladiator attorney. Wasn’t too impressed with her attorney when Shannon got intimidated by reducing spousal support. I hope there is no prenup.

Not sure how family law works in California, but in my state each party has the right to have their motions heard by a judge. However, before that happens, they must first try to resolve any and all issues with a court appointed hearing officer. This is where 90% of things are resolved. Once you appear in front of the hearing officer, if you are not satisfied with the outcome, you can ask to appear before the judge. In my experience, if he does demand to be heard in court, this will be a mistake. You have to remember that there are always people with very serious and much worse problems out there. Most judges have seen it all, they recognize a stunt when they see one, and they don’t like the court system used as a weapon or threat. From what I’ve read about David’s motion, his claim is without merit or proof and the judge will not appreciate him clogging up her docket and wasting everyone’s time.
Not to mention how judges just LOVE IT when people represent themselves. The old Abe Lincoln adage about only a fool has themselves for a client holds true. Especially when one is not versed in law. Hubris. Pride goeth, I hope the goeth right behind a bunch of money he has to pay.
Set for TRIAL in April??? Dear lord.
Nobody wins with that, except the lawyers. I really feel for these poor kids. So sad to be caught in the middle of this.
I hope not, David’s a bonified cunt!!
Shannon’s filed response seems pretty accurate – David wants nothing more than to assert his control
David needs to sail off into the sunset somewhere, with his new lady in tow, and leave Shannon the fuck alone
I still go back to season 1 of Shannon where she could t be intimate with David with out being cricked in vodka. She drank pretty heavy all season and was super nuts, she still is.
WOW! You’re really one to not get over stuff and incapable of moving on! I bet you hold a grudge too! What a joy you must be to be around…NOT!
Wow. That was mean.
And the common denominator of that is ….. DAVID. He’s a controlling narcissist IMO, just get through the divorce David and leave Shanon alone, start in on your new girl.
David is a controlling arsewipe, I hope the judge wipes the floor with him.
For the sake of their kids they both need to stop this mess and move on. Enough.
I doubt it will be granted but if by some chance it is, I hope he places the same restrictions on David. I dont like Shannon but her response is correct in this instance. David is a jerk.
David is a miserable excuse for a human being but Shannon shouldn’t be drinking while she has the girls and neither should David. It’s just not necessary.
It would probably have been best to just have a 50/50 shared custody with no child support. They both have income. David just needs to pay his share of the marital share of their assests. I can really see why men no longer want to get married, as the courts seem like a tool to punish men. And women are screaming get him get him! I know a woman that fought constanly for more time with her kids, money, big alimony constant strife with the ex, and taking him to court, calling the cops if he was five minutes late bringing them home. I felt so bad for the daughters they had, as they were abused by that process and lost their childhood to their moms need for revenge. There is very little protection for kids from crazy drunken mean moms either, and that woman had been plenty of that too. All of their retirement, homes, savings went to the lawyers fees in the end. Thats probably what David is trying to avoid by not hiring one, when he has to pay hers allready. Yes its sad Shannon got dumped, but its not all about her. Its about their girls and their chance at life. Divorce shouldnt be so punishing, and people deserve to be able to get out of a bad marriage, and start over again. Shannon should have juat agreed, not to drink when she has the girls. What is so important about drinking if theres not a problem?
I couldn’t agree more. The courts still have an old fashion view toward men always having to pay women child support and alimony no matter what. Shannon has enough money to support herself and the kids. She not only has income from the show but she also started the food line on QVC which is successful.
Having been on the other side of a man who loopholed his way around paying adequate child support, I’d have to say the courts are pretty father friendly and don’t take into account individual situations such as how long the woman has been at home with her kids and how she will be able to support them when his income had been the sole income. It took me four years to find a full time job. We still barely cover bills. And all I got from the court system was a shrug and a “That’s what everyone gets”. It’s a percentage. I don’t think the system is anti-dad. I think it just has turned into an assembly line of divorce.
I think the economics of splitting up a household with kids sucks. Its hard enough to survive as it is, and so most do not come out with the same lifestyle. I still think theres a built in bias twords men though regarding finances and custody. Women loathe the idea of paying child support or alimony when the shoe is on the other foot. And they loathe when it ends, and rue the day the kids turn 18.
Yes, that’s true but it was HER families money that bankrolled his business. So, without that $$ he may not of gotten to where he is now. So she definitely should get 50% of any and all marital assets.
Im not an attorney, but I believe the parents bankrolling his company, if thats actually true, has nothing to do with anything in a divorce and division of assets. It was either a gift or a loan, of which they would both be responsible for paying it back, and something they both benefited from. However, it would not cause Shannon to get extra. A parents help or generosity during a marriage means nothing in court, or that their child gets extra.
It’s the principal of not giving in to David’s demands. If the GIRLS asked her not to drink around them, I bet she would agree to that.

Aw, not anymore….. Speaking from having many friends who have divorced, both male & female, people can suck when they get angry, regardless of their gender. Anyone who bashes one sex over the other when it comes to divorce isn’t being honest. The person with the most money or who presents best according to the judge (not the person who IS the best person, but the person who can put on the best show for the judge) is the one who’s going to be catered to in court. Seen way to many times to not understand the process.
david beador = jason hoppy…..in many ways re: custody
I DO watch too much crime TV … but … I was thinking about the vow renewal. I suspect that David may have staged it to buy time to bury assets. If I were Shannon, I would hire a forensic accountant. There is something more going on than just wanting out of an unhappy marriage; I support that. He was so affectionate in front of everyone at the vow renewal, then a short while later, he was cold and distant.
Its hard to say. Shannon seemed to be a big lavish spender, so why shouldnt he sock some away? I think any marital uncertainity causes people to want to protect themselves, its human nature. All this acrimony just adds fuel to the fire. Shannon should move on and learn to make her own money, and shell think twice abour giving so much to Dr. Moon. Peoples thoughts and feelings change, and Shannon was drinking alot with Tamra, put on a ton of weight, very explosive and emotional, hated his family with a passion. None of that works in a allready crummy marriage. I think David didnt realize how bad it was, until he got away from it long enough to see what he was missing out on. The way Shannon spoke to him, ordering him around, pouting being a debbie downer, beraring him in front of company, not having respect for him or the value of a dollar, is not the behaviours that make for a happy husband. If she thinks theres all these men wanting that, or will do for her like David or be nicer than him, uh no.
This may sound heartless but he just doesn’t want her drinking WHEN SHE HAS THE KIDS. Why fight that? Neither should be drinking to excess around the kids but Shannon admitted she self medicated and she has shown us over and over again that she can’t control her emotions.
He’s MAD he was talked about on the show. He’s MAD Jeff Lewis talks about him. He’s MAD he doesn’t like how he was portrayed. He’s now MAD at Eddie because he doesn’t like how he handled matters. He sends his 34 year old out of the mansion to defend him. This is 100% motivated by control!!
Shannon tried like hell to make that marriage work to the point of going to bed with hombre at 8pm (ridiculous!!!!!). Those girls are too old to have a custody hearing!! David Beador is gross!! I’d say he’s worse than Jason Hoppy, but I don’t think that exists!
