Shannon’s ‘RHOC’ Pals Won’t Let Her Drop Spousal Support From Ex David

Shannon Beador nearly gave in to bitter ex David's demands to lower the $22,500 per month in spousal support after their hellish day in court, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively — but sources say her RHOC pals did not let the reality star back down.

The feuding exes exploded into a vicious feud outside an Orange County courtroom Monday after David was ordered to continue to pay more than $10,000 per month in spousal support to Shannon.

After the brutal hearing, Shannon choked back tears as she got into an elevator and yelled at David, “You are such a nickel and dimer! It’s disgusting!”

“Shannon was super emotional after the court meeting with David and she could not hold back her tears," a source told RadarOnline.com exclusively. "She does not understand why the hell David is trying to drag this out and do this to her."

According to the pal, Shannon was at the point yesterday where she just wanted to drop her fight so she could finally get him out of her life once and for all, but the source revealed to RadarOnline.com her friends and co-stars, "especially Tamra," "won’t allow her to do that."

"She should get what she deserves!" said the source.

As RadarOnline.com readers know, both sides agreed in July that David would pay Shannon $10,500 in spousal support per month, with the understanding that David could ask to modify that amount at a future date. The remainder of the support would go to their daughters.

After Monday's nearly three-hour-long hearing the judge ruled said both sides would better benefit with more up-to-date financial and earning records after they file their 2018 taxes. He ordered David to continuing paying the monthly $22,500 family support and told both sides to return to court in February.
