Shannon Beador is once again in hot water.

On the Oct. 10 episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Heather Dubrow and Tamra Judge confront Shannon after she seemingly admitted the $75,000 John Janssen gave her (and is suing her over) was a loan. After listening to her appearance on Jeff Lewis’ radio show, the women were confused about why Shannon was telling them a contradictory story.

“I did need money at the time,” Shannon said in the interview. “He said I wish you could get a low-interest loan, and I go, ‘Well you have money.’”

Also in the interview, Shannon claimed, “I haven’t really thought about it,” when asked how John didn’t hear the crash occur outside. Calling that comment “disturbing,” Heather recalled Shannon opening up to her about John’s reaction amid the aftermath of her DUI.

Earlier in the episode, Heather and Tamra discussed Shannon’s discrepancies, with Heather saying, “The trust issues are there, because which side is the truth?”

“She’s just a f---ing liar,” Tamra quipped after telling cameras, “I fell for her act too.”

At dinner, Shannon explained the interview and told the women that she received a promissory note a few days after receiving the money.

“He sent you a promissory note?” Heather asked, to which Shannon replied, “Yes.”

“That’s the first time I’ve heard that,” Heather added.

Tamra then revealed in her confessional that she knew “for a fact” that the money was a loan because Shannon told her off-camera, adding, “I’d sue her ass too."

When Emily Simpson, who is a lawyer, questioned if there were “any communications” indicating the transaction was a loan, Shannon’s answer surprised the group.

“There is one a few days after the promissory note,” Shannon admitted before stopping herself, saying, “There is a lawsuit going on right now.”

“I didn’t mean to say that,” Shannon said as she cried. “I will never know if he heard my accident or not.”

“It made me feel used,” Heather snapped back before adding in her confessional: “To me, it feels like Shannon told me on purpose, in that moment, at that period of time, so that it would be on camera that way, so it would get out to the group that way. Is this propaganda?”

“That’s defamation,” Shannon said back at the table. “I trusted her to confide in,” she later told cameras. “I’m telling you right now, I know I made a mistake.”

Jenn Pedranti defended Shannon, saying Heather is “her friend,” who Shannon should be able to trust but Tamra disagreed.

“This is classic Shannon,” she said. “She used to have me all the time, like, ‘Can you say this about David?’ And I’d be like, ‘Hey girls, you know blah blah blah,’ and she’d be like, ‘Oh my God, don’t say that! Where’d you hear that?’”

“Girl, you set this whole thing up,” Tamra added.

When Gina Kirschenheiter reacted to the potential impact the conversation could have on Shannon’s legal battle, Shannon said, “This is a reality show trickling into my real life.”

Tamra chimed in, saying, “You’re not the f---ing victim,” prompting Shannon to stand up from her seat and leave the table.

“I’m done!” she exclaimed.

“She was caught in a lie,” Tamra continued as Shannon walked to the elevator, where she could still hear the women talking.

“Tamra Judge, don’t you ever call me a victim again,” she yelled. “I am working on myself. Victims sit back and feel sorry for themselves. I am moving forward with my life and you’re laughing at me.”

As she stated that she was leaving the group’s London trip (which Shannon planned for her birthday), Shannon headed for the hotel bar and ordered a vodka soda.

“She got caught in a lie and she can’t handle it,” Tamra explained. “That’s why she’s getting so mad.”

"No one likes being caught," Heather declared and later quipped, "Clearly, Shannon’s running towards the bar."

Gina then found Shannon and sat down to discuss the fight, with Shannon saying she “reached a breaking point” when she talked to Heather about the night of her DUI.

“I’m just in shock,” she said. “I’m so angry right now.”
