Shannon Beador spotted back behind the wheel – with a breathalyzer – following DUI arrest

   

She’s back on the road.

Shannon Beador was seen back behind the wheel of a car 11 months after she was arrested for DUI.

In photos obtained by Page Six, the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star, 60, was seen walking to her vehicle Tuesday.

When she got in the driver’s side of the car, Beador was seen blowing into what appeared to be an ignition interlock device, a handheld breathalyzer for car ignitions that’s installed to prevent users from being able to start their vehicle after drinking alcohol.

The reality star dressed casually for the outing, wearing black leggings, a black shirt and sneakers. Beador’s blond hair was pulled back into a ponytail.

In September 2023, Beador was arrested for drinking under the influence and clipping a Newport Beach house before fleeing the scene. She also suffered a few injuries in the crash, including a fractured left wrist

The Bravo star’s lawyer, Mike Fell, told Page Six his client was “extremely apologetic and remorseful” and “prepared to accept full responsibility for her actions.”

Last November, Beador’s attorney told us she was sentenced to three years of probation, ordered to complete 40 hours of community service and attend a nine-month alcohol program.

“I am grateful that no one else was injured besides me in this incident. I have learned so much from my terrible mistake that night and realize that driving any distance while impaired is too far,” Beador told Page Six via her attorney.

The mom of three addressed her alcohol issues in the Season 18 premiere of “RHOC,” tearfully apologizing to her three daughters — Sophie, 22, and twins Stella and Adeline, 20 — for her DUI arrest.

Shannon Beador on "RHOC."

The Bravo star was sentenced to three years of probation, ordered to complete 40 hours of community service and attend a nine-month alcohol program.

“I’m so sorry and humiliated that I disappointed you. Like, what kind of example am I at 59 years old?” she said during the episode, which aired in July.

“I’ve never broken a bone, I’ve never had a concussion, I’ve never been in an accident, I’ve never been arrested, I’ve never had a DUI, and I did all that in 10 seconds,” an emotional Beador told her girls.

Beador’s co-stars previously expressed concerns over her drinking habits and their unease worsened during her on-again, off-again relationship with John Janssen — who is now dating “RHOC” star Alexis Bellino.
