RHOC's Jennifer Pedranti and Katie Ginella Talk S18 Reunion & How 'Great' Shannon Beador Did

RHOC stars Jennifer Pedranti and Katie Ginella are dishing on the RHOC season 18 reunion and reveal how “great” co-star Shannon Beador handled things at the sitdown.

Jennifer Pedranti and Katie Ginella of RHOC recently appeared on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live.

During the interview, the two OC Housewives discussed Shannon Beador’s appearance at the RHOC reunion.

“I talked to her the day after the reunion, and she was running around like crazy. The reunion was a lot, I would say, for Shannon. The season was a lot for Shannon,” Jennifer explained.

RHOC newbie Katie Ginella added: “She did great.”

Jennifer continued, “And so, she was a little bit like running around the day after the reunion, frazzled, trying to get everything done and she was going outta town. She was going out of town again, so hopefully you guys will-“

Jeff Lewis, a longtime friend of Shannon, interjected and alluded that their friendship isn’t in the best place.

The former Flipping Out star said, “I’m giving her space and then I’ll just, I’ll circle back.” This hiccup in Jeff and Shannon’s friendship may stem from recent comments he made about the RHOC star’s behavior.

 Last week, Jeff Lewis admitted that he believed Joel Kim Booster’s claim that Shannon Beador was a “terror” while filming Love Hotel could be true. Jeff noted that he was “concerned” about Shannon before she left for filming, as she wasn’t in a “great place.”

While the former Flipping Out star has no insider knowledge of what went down between Shannon and the Love Hotel cast and crew, he believes stress may have caused the RHOC star to act out.

“I think it’s possible that — and I can only speak for myself — sometimes if I’m dealing with a lot of stress or I’m maybe emotionally not totally, 100 percent stable, you may act out. You may take out your stress, aggression, anxiety, on other people,” he theorized on SiriusXM Radio’s Jeff Lewis Extended. “I think it’s possible that this could’ve happened. I do. I just felt like she was not in a great state when I spoke to her.”

“She’s going through a rough time. She could be not responding well,” Jeff added.

Meanwhile, Katie admits it took her two days to recover from the RHOC season 18 reunion.

“The reunion, I had to take two days to recover, by the way. I feel like I’m coming out of like a coma. I laid in bed for two days,” the RHOC newbie confessed before explaining the cast had an early call time and long day of filming.

“We got to the studio at what? Like 7:30, 8:00? And then we wrapped at like 7:30 or 8:00,” she noted. “When Andy said, ‘We’re wrapping,’ I was like, ‘We are?’ It came up quickly, I think, for me at least being my first one. I was like, ‘Oh, that was fast.'”

Jennifer added, “Everybody said that we wrapped, they felt like, a little bit earlier or they thought we were gonna go later. We wrapped even though it felt like it was [unfinished].”

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.

You know it's bad when two of Shannon's besties express serious concern. While Jeff and Tamra don't have the best track records when it comes to friendship loyalty, I don't think either are exaggerating by inferring that said Shannon's was/is actually in worse shape than the public knows. Speaking of, I'd forgotten that Jeff Lewis was going to (or did) film with all the ladies, but it apparently it all went to sh. I'd love to get the dirt on what went happened.

True dat BUT in Shannon’s defense, MOST of those broads are right in the same boat with her re: boozin’ it up like prohibition starts tomorrow.? Yeah, Shannon may be arguably worse than any one or all of them, and I don’t doubt that COULD be true (not that it necessarily is, but it could be), BUT that’s like claiming your fart smells better than mine. While that MAY be so, it’s STILL nonetheless a fart. ? ? That being said, there are those among us who can be friends, good buds with alcohol and those who cannot. I’ve always said alcohol is NOT Shannon’s friend, but Shannon ain’t alone on that list and yes, Tammy Sue’s name figures prominently on it. TBD re: Jeff, but HE appears to be able to be buds with alcohol as does Fancy Pants. That’s just NOT the case for that entire crowd, tho, not by a long shot. So, grain of salt re: fellow drunks judging drunks is what I’m saying…?

Yes they've all over indulged and acted like fools for the cameras, but I think Shannon is more like the "Slurinda" kind of drunk; the kind who starts her day out by slipping some Grey Goose Belvedere into her morning OJ, and goes to bed drunk dialing anyone who will listen to her. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d2011de4d099bb78f9843ff47d28ac0e01d28dcea915d50373c2baa208892563.jpg

You may be right. She definitely has an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. I do think her high strung (neurotic) nature has a lot to do with it. She tries to use alcohol to soothe herself but alcohol ain’t her friend and is not having it. Shannon needs to just dump booze altogether and embrace the ganja, mon. ?? ???

You're forgetting Fancy Pants turned Shannon on to "microdosing" a few seasons back.
Champagne Hangover October 14, 2024 - 3:58 pm
Maybe it’s time for girlfriend to start macrodosing then…? No, give the ol’ bird some breathing room. She’s got a lot to fix and there ain’t a quick fix for any of it. So adjust expectations accordingly. I say wish her the best case scenario cuz why not? But er…not for nothing, just don’t bet the farm on the best case scenario thingy actually happenin’ ? Poor dear. I still root for her, though. I can’t help it. Sue me. ?

Jeff, I love you but your 2 cents were not needed.

He’s been doing that a lot lately . He did it to one of the NY housewives as I saw recently on premier ep for new season. Then awhile back he did something about Teresa but her ass went to his face on wwwhl special about it lol.. we don’t need his blah blah blah about the women. We have enough shit to deal with lol

Is Shannon a 4 year old who we praise her for not acting like a doofus when doing her job? This woman is an actor and is being paid well. Part of her job is the reunion. She should handle it well without getting a pat on the head for her "good" behavior. But then, this is Shannon who feels entitled to be praised for every little thing she does. If she's not, she drinks and then viciously attacks whomever did not treat her as she felt she should be treated.

IDK...a bit harsh

I agree . How much public lashing, humiliation and shame do some want her to go through in court of public opinion? There is more toxicity on that show , a few seasons , compared to Shannon and her DUI that for some reason , gets overlooked . Shannon can be erratic at times when triggered - ok- a lot of people are . I would prefer dealing with that as a viewer as opposed to the likes of loony Lexie and Jonny j bullshit and Tamra’s recklessness which has become every season she’s on . Tamra “ viciously attacks” others drunk or sober . I hope for Shannon after all of this that she was able to conduct herself without being instigated for once at reunion .

I don’t think Jeff said anything terrible, but at the same time I think Shannon pretty much felt some kind of way about it. She’s get over it once she puts it in to perspective, I think . Anyway I’m looking forward to the reunion.
Champagne Hangover October 11, 2024 - 11:35 am
Shannon needs to be more self aware quite frankly. I get it that it SUCKS to examine your flaws BUT there’s a reason Jeff thought this might be true. And it simply has to do with how Shannon reacts to stress and how that manifests itself. When consistent improvement in that regard is made then people’s minds will be less likely to go there. However, in Jeff’s defense, I don’t think even the staunchest defender of Shannon can honestly say they can’t see her getting blotto and losing her sh*t. Whether it happened or not, it’s not out of the realm of possibilities. So, yeah, maybe Jeff should have just shut his pie hole BUT it would behoove Shannon to take some accountability for why he may have said it. In other words, EFFIN’ CHILL, mama, K? ? (Shannon, I mean.)

I agree.
