A source said Beador "appeared wasted" when cops arrived.
The arrest comes after a season of Beador bringing up her co-star Gina Kirschenheiter's 2019 arrest for a DUI.
During one dinner, Beador claimed she was responsible for keeping Kirschenheiter out of jail. She said her lawyer stepped in to prevent an early morning arrest.
The reality star "clipped" a home with her car.
On top of that, Beador has been dealing with her breakup from John Janssen.
Janssen broke up with Beador in November after three years of dating.
The RHOC star told People she was "blindsided by the breakup" which went down one week after filming wrapped on season 17.
"All I can do is repeat in my head what he said to me while we were filming," Beador said. "We were in a great place. But seven days later, when the cameras were down, it was a completely different story. He told me he was done with the relationship. And to hear what he said to me then was absolutely devastating."
"I've never loved anyone more in my life," Beador added. "I was hopeful this was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I wanted it to work out. I've never loved anyone like I've loved John. But clearly, he didn't feel the same way."
