Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador is making headlines yet again, but this time it’s for all the wrong reasons. Recently released footage shows Beador speeding down a residential street in Newport Beach, California, before crashing into the side of a house. The incident, believed to be a result of drunk driving, has shocked fans and raised concerns about her actions.
Key Takeaway
Reality TV star Shannon Beador was arrested for a hit-and-run incident and DUI after crashing her car into a house in Newport Beach. The shocking video footage captures the reckless behavior that could have caused significant harm to both property and people.
The Terrifying Crash and Narrow Miss
In the video, Beador can be seen recklessly driving around the neighborhood late at night. She appears to misjudge a corner, leading to a loss of control and the car slamming into the unsuspecting home. Miraculously, Beador narrowly missed crashing into the front door, which could have caused even more damage and potentially harmed someone inside.
The Aftermath and Attempt to Flee
Immediately after the crash, Beador quickly put her car in reverse and managed to get back onto the street, attempting to leave the scene. However, the damage caused by the impact was evident. A concrete planter was completely destroyed, and a skid mark on the road highlighted the force of the collision.
Police Involvement and Arrest
It was not long before authorities arrived at the scene. Beador’s attempt to downplay the situation by claiming she was simply walking her dog fell flat, as officers saw through the charade. Subsequently, Beador was arrested and booked on charges of hit-and-run and driving under the influence (DUI). Both charges are misdemeanors. She was later cited and released without needing to post bail.
The Fallout and Reflection
Beador’s arrest has raised concerns among fans and the public alike. As news of the incident spread, her lawyer issued a statement on her behalf expressing remorse and willingness to take full responsibility for her actions. This incident adds to the challenges Beador has faced recently, following her unexpected split from boyfriend John Jassen.
