Shannon Beador threw some shade at Eddie Judge while appearing on Sunday night’s episode of Watch What Happens Live.
As she also spoke of her current relationships with Tamra Judge, 57, and Vicki Gunvalson, 63, looked back on her lawsuit battle with John Janssen, 62, and compared Alexis Bellino, 48, to Gretchen Rossi, 46, the 61-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star recalled her “most cringeworthy” moments on RHOC and dished on her time on Love Hotel.
During the June 8 episode of WWHL, host Andy Cohen, 57, asked Shannon which RHOC husband was giving the most “small d*ck energy.”
“Oh, this is … God, can I plead the fifth?” she replied, then adding, “I’mma say Eddie.”
Right away, the audience erupted in shock.
“Okay, bring it on,” she encouraged as Andy said he had “a feeling [they were] gonna hear about this.”
Later, on the WWHL: After Show, after being questioned about where she stands with Tamra, Shannon hinted at drama between them.
“You’ll have to tune in. We finished filming [RHOC]. And I will tell you there is so much drama in this season, but it’s stuff that you wouldn’t even script. It’s like, ‘Where did that come from?’” she teased. “There is a lot … so you’ll be able to see where Tamra and I stand.”
As for the Tres Amigas, Shannon wasn’t hopeful for a reconciliation.
“Never say never, but I’m gonna say no,” she declared.
Back on the live broadcast, a fan asked Shannon about the lawsuit John filed against her, claiming she owed him for a facelift he paid for.
“It’s done. I paid him … so there’s no reason to talk about me anymore. So we’re done,” she confirmed. “[And] I don’t think [he’s still talking about me]. So I’m grateful for that.”
After settling with John last year following a months-long battle, Shannon paid her ex-boyfriend $60,000.
“And you know what I did? I went to the bank and got the wire, and I redacted all the account information, and it said ‘payment in full,’ and I circled it, and I put it on Instagram and I tagged him and I wrote, ‘Enjoy,’” she recalled.
After facing plenty of drama with John and Alexis, who are now engaged, on season 18, Shannon was happy to welcome Gretchen to the cast after Alexis’ exit and compared the two on WWHL.
“It’s night and day. I think [Gretchen’s] great. She’s been nothing but kind to me … I think she’s been a great addition to the show, so I’m excited to have her there,” she stated.
Then, speaking of her worst moments on RHOC, Shannon joked that there are “like a thousand” before signaling her drunken moments.
“It has to do with drinking cuz two times I was very drunk,” she explained. “[Andy] called me once at [Braunwyn Windham-Burke]’s vow renewal, and [he said], ‘Oh my god, Shannon, the scene that’s coming up, it’s crazy.’ But the other one is when we were in Mexico with the Tres Amigas and we had a bunch of shots and they said, ’The tacos were good last night,’ I go, ‘I didn’t have tacos.’ And they showed the scene, and I called the Chihuahua Archie.”
Moving on to Love Hotel, Shannon said she was initially attracted to Earl due to his “kind eyes” and vulnerability before seemingly shading his “perceived support.”
“When I would talk to him, it was like he was being very supportive. [But] I don’t like what happened on this episode,” she admitted.
While her daughters got along with Earl during filming, they didn’t feel that he was compatible with their mom.
“Earl said multiple times at the Love Hotel, ‘I’m a simple man,’ and my response always was, because we had a banter, ‘I’m a not so simple girl.’ So that’s why I say he’s simple. And that’s what they questioned,” she explained. “We’re in a bubble and we were in a bubble.”
Looking back at her absence from Earl amid his hurricane fears, Shannon admitted to regretting not being more supportive, saying things would’ve been different “had [she] known that a hurricane was gonna move from Florida to Georgia.”
“Can I just say one thing, though, about Earl?” she added. “When we were getting along, it was really good. That’s why tonight, when you see me in the show, I’m so sad. It’s because to me, it was even more devastating. It’s like, wow, things are good with him, they’re so great.”
Also on the live broadcast, Shannon shared her thoughts on Ashley Darby, 37, and her self-described “daddy issues” amid her love triangle with Wale and Ralph.
“I’m a huge Wale fan. And I love Ralph. We’re very close. But I thought that she and Wale had something special. So I don’t know when the daddy issues are gonna go away,” she admitted.
Love Hotel season one airs Sundays at 9/8c on Bravo.
