'RHOC' Star Shannon Beador Broke Her Arm in DUI Crash, Drove After Forgetting Phone at Restaurant: Sources
Two separate sources claim she's telling pals she broke her arm.
Shannon Beador is nursing more than a bruised ego after being arrested for DUI and hit-and-run. Sources tell RadarOnline.com that The Real Housewives of Orange County star told pals she broke her arm during the incident.
Insiders spilled details about what made Beador allegedly get behind the wheel of her car with her dog, Archie, on Saturday night — leading to her arrest.
An insider said Shannon left her phone at a restaurant and allegedly went to collect it.
Sources close to Beador told RadarOnline.com that the 59-year-old reality star was allegedly on a mission to retrieve her cell phone after leaving the device at a restaurant. After realizing her mistake, Beador reportedly got into her car to return to the eatery with her dog in tow.
We're told she was on her way to the restaurant or returning home when the accident occurred.
In the aftermath, Beador is allegedly pleading with friends not to speak out about her arrest and informing them she was reportedly injured with a broken arm. Two separate sources have confirmed the details to RadarOnline.com.
We've reached out to Beador's attorney for comment.
Shannon is allegedly starting counseling in the wake of her DUI arrest.
Despite her alleged plea, Jeff Lewis addressed the issue on his Sirius XM podcast, Jeff Lewis Has Issues. He revealed that the RHOC star plans on entering counseling following her arrest — but doesn't believe she has an issue with alcohol. Lewis also stated that she was injured in the accident and will need time to recover.
Lewis said Beador canceled her appearance on his Friday podcast.
