Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador addressed her DUI arrest at BravoCon, RadarOnline.com has learned.
A day before Bravo fans gathered in Las Vegas for the reality TV extravaganza, Beador was sentenced to 3 years probation, 40 hours of community service, and a 9-month alcohol program for her DUI and hit-and-run arrest in September.
Beador 'clipped' her vehicle into a Newport Beach home on September 16.
On Friday, Beador confessed to the Las Vegas crowd that she made a "terrible mistake."
John claimed Shannon had "struggling financial concerns" when she allegedly approached him for the surgery money.
"But I will tell you that I made a terrible, terrible mistake," an emotional Beador said as became choked up, "I don't want to cry."
"I'm incredibly grateful that it didn't hurt anyone," the RHOC star added.
Beador then revealed that she "just completed a 28-day behavioral wellness program with an alcohol component" prior to BravoCon.
