Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador and her ex-husband David have not been in contact since her DUI arrest over the weekend.
Sources tell RadarOnline.com that the exes have not spoken since the reality star was released from jail despite sharing three adult daughters.
Sources say Shannon was badly injured in the accident.
As we previously reported, the reality star drove her car onto a property in Newport Beach on Saturday night. Law enforcement sources said Shannon continued driving and eventually parked her car in the middle of the street. She allegedly got out of the vehicle and started walking her dog, Archie.
An insider said Shannon attempted to make it look like she was walking her dog when police arrived. Officers arrested the Bravo star, who sources claimed appeared “wasted.”
Shannon has remained mum since the accident.
Shannon was booked on 2 misdemeanor charges of hit-and-run and DUI. She was released without bond.
Her lawyer, Michael Fell, told RadarOnline.com, "I spent quite a bit of time with Shannon yesterday. She is extremely apologetic and remorseful. We will be awaiting the official information on this case as it becomes available, and Shannon is prepared to accept full responsibility for her actions."
Shannon’s friend Jeff Lewis revealed details of the arrest on his podcast.
