Heather Dubrow hopes that Shannon Beador can reflect on her actions after her arrest for driving under the influence. During the September 27 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Dubrow, 54, mentioned that she has not had any communication with Beador, 59, since the incident.
Dubrow did reach out to her Real Housewives of Orange County costar but did not disclose whether she received a response. "Naturally, I'm relieved that no one was injured, and that is the primary concern," she expressed.
On September 18, we verified that Beador had been arrested for two misdemeanors — a hit-and-run incident and driving under the influence — two days prior. The Newport Beach Police Department reported that Beador had driven her vehicle onto a residential property. She was then given a citation and released without having to post bail.
"Yesterday, I had a significant amount of time with Shannon. According to her lawyer, Michael Fell, Shannon expressed deep remorse and is sincerely apologetic for her actions. We will patiently await the official details of the case as they unfold, and Shannon is ready to take complete accountability for what she has done." After the incident, Shannon's friend Jeff Lewis shared that she intends to begin seeking counseling.
Lewis, 53, expressed his happiness in the recent episode of his own SiriusXM radio show, stating that his friend will be starting counseling this week. He firmly believes that Shannon Beador, despite her recent struggles and reliance on alcohol, is not an alcoholic. Beador, who previously denied having a drinking problem, has not made any additional comments about her DUI incident.
Dubrow, on the other hand, faced further interrogation from Andy Cohen on Wednesday regarding her thoughts on Beador's approach towards handling the repercussions. "We simply can't waste time on that," she amusingly remarked.
Their fellow cast member, Gina Kirschenheiter, has recently asserted that Beador is not in a stable emotional state.

"I am aware of her current location, and it is not a favorable state for her mentally and emotionally," stated Kirschenheiter, 39, on her "Orange Country" podcast episode released on Wednesday. "I have now genuinely developed a sense of compassion towards her and her situation. I do not wish for anyone to feel down, as I never have. However, it is challenging to witness someone else overcoming their own difficulties when you are still struggling."
