BravoHow do you follow up the scary ATV accident? With Grandma Donna. Shannon Beador's mother-in-law, Donna, came to The Real Housewives of Orange County and you bit she had her stirring spoon for that drama pot.
Donna showed up at the Beador girls' rock concert—the three girls play together as LOCK: Ladies of Rock—and introduced herself to anybody wearing a mic pack. That included Kelly Dodd and Tamra Judge. But she wasn't just there to make nice.
"Shannon hates my guts," she told Kelly. But Shannon had already laid the groundwork by saying Donna is not a fan of her marriage. Donna took things a step further when she told Tamra that Shannon drove David to his affair. Naturally, Shannon was not pleased with this declaration and she broke down in tears. "That's my issue," David Beador told the ladies in defense of his wife. "Shannon has been amazing to my family."
The drama spilled over into the car ride home with the girls. It wasn't awkward at all, the recapper typed sarcastically. But one of Shannon's twins had sage advice for Shannon and Real Housewives stars everywhere: "Some people get angry, but you have to forgive them."
Speaking of kids being wise, Briana, Vicki Gunvalson's daughter, had this to say about her convalescing mother: "My mom can tend to be a little dramatic. She likes the attention of it and when she does get hurt, maybe she exaggerates a little bit because then she gets more attention and people love her more, so…"
Meanwhile, Meghan King Edmonds and Tamra made up after the accident drama and Kelly and Shannon made up again after the see you next Tuesday dinner outburst. As for Vicki and Shannon? Well… Vicki's still not pleased that Shannon didn't come see her in the hospital. But Shannon did call and text when she heard just how bad it was and Briana assured Vicki that was something good. Will they make amends? Time will tell.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Mondays, 9 p.m. on Bravo.
